I have been here only once but so far very much impressed with this place. Seems like a great spot to hang out with friends or colleagues, or even for casual dates. They have a small but unique selection of Cocktails, Drinks, and Food. I loved the Pear Coctail (Pear"don" Me) I had, something so refreshing and light about the taste, and the Calabrian Shrimp tastes awesome and cooked to perfection. Staff were friendly and the Service was fast enough considering how busy the place was. Decor was also super cute and the vibe was warm and friendly.

The Irving Social has such a unique and welcoming energy. The mix of rustic charm and modern style, with its cozy lighting and lovely outdoor garden area, creates the perfect spot to unwind. Victoria made the experience even better with her friendly service and amazing drinks. The menu offered a great balance of creative, fresh, and tasty options. Definitely a place worth visiting when you’re nearby!

i got the brussel pasta and a variety of different drinks… all top tier. chatted up with who i thought was the bartender, who later revealed he was the owner. Jesse is so personable, lovely and friendly. the vibes in the place were immaculate!! this place is totally out of the way from where i live but i have no problem coming back just to enjoy the space again!
