Old Town Social

When the neighborhood is Old Town, perhaps this is just the kind of hang the neighborhood needs: something to fill the void between the come-as-you-are vibe of McGinny’s Tap and the more deliberate drama of nearby newcomers 33 Club and Eivissa. When you step into Old Town Social, glass-clinking couples occupy tables for two drawn with brocade curtains. The front line for mingling singles is along the lengthy main bar. Groups can make a beeline for a bank of U-shaped leather booths or gather in the parlor-like front room set with high-backed armchairs and a faux fireplace. Fitting the bill of a neighborhood spot, yes, there are wings on the menu. But they’re harissa-spiced duck wings, so tender the rich meat tumbles off the bone, and they’re served with a cucumber-mint raita that arrives in a gleaming sauciere. There are burgers too, but they’re flanked by more sophisticated options such as a crispy pork belly-heirloom tomato-arugula "BLT".

Old Town Social fills an unusual void between a laidback neighborhood dive, a bustling sports bar and a crowd thumping club. The interior is strikingly beautiful to look at - high soaring ceilings, anaglypta wall coverings, light globes hanging from the ceiling and a dark wood bar with cream colored stools. Loud music and a plethora of flat screen tv's lining the walls beckon to a younger crowd, but the sophisticated menu and elegant décor is appealing to all ages. Stop by for a familiar Old Town experience that will leave you craving more.

5 p.m.-2 a.m. Monday through Friday; 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday; 11 a.m.-midnight Sunday. Kitchen closes at 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 p.m. Sunday. Limited charcuterie menu served until 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday and midnight Sunday.

Anything goes at Old Town, but if you want to be taken as a serious local, your best bet is a booty flattering pair of jeans like Tag Jeans' Wide Leg Jean in Dark Destructed, an eye-catching top in a fun hue like Ella Moss' Skye Widesleeve Top in Amour or Nu by Marc Anthony's Sheer Sleeve Top in Violet, and a sophisticated purse to top it off, like Donald J Pilner's Ivah Croc Tote in Camel. If you're feeling festive, try a funky pair of heels like Gwyneth Shoes' Kyra Pump in Teal. Perf!
