The Social Honolulu

This was the first time I've ever been to this place, tucked away on the second floor of the South Shore Marketplace garage. We checked out the menu outside for plant based items and found a few, so we went inside. It was just past 6:00pm so we just missed Happy Hour and it was early enough that the place wasn't too busy yet . Nicole was our server and she couldn't do enough for us. We were curious about a couple of the creative drinks on the menu & asked Nicole for her recommendation of the light seltzer drinks. We were thinking of lychee and that's what we went with. It was delicious so we took a photo of the can to see who else sells it. We decided to order the fish and chips (really ono fish (basa)) with a mayo/wasabi dip) and yummy, crispy zucchini fries with a yummy dip. Throughout the meal, Nicole and other servers checked in on us to make sure we enjoyed our food and if we needed anything. The place started filling up and getting louder, too. Besides the food & drink being great, service was outstanding!!! We will definitely be back to this place, and tell others about it, too. Mahalo Nicole, for contributing to our awesome evening.

Always a chill, but fun night at the social! I love the atmosphere & happy hour. The food is okay, we thought the Brussels sprouts were a little salty for our taste, but overall enjoyed the meal! Our waitress was so sweet & we had a great night. Also that mai tai is huge haha.

Came here on a weekday to get some drinks and food. There's 2 dart boards and plenty of seats and parking. My friend and I ordered dinner. I got garlic shrimp and my friend got the fajita tacos. I really enjoyed the garlic shrimp. Lots of garlic with some chili oil. I'd definitely get it again. Social is clean and has lots of food options. The price for food is slightly pricey but definitely delicious for bar food. Service was friendly and prompt as well. They will card you so make sure you have your ID. There is happy hour 4-6pm on weekdays as well!

Such a great place for a social gathering hence the name of the establishment. The atmosphere is casual and fun. A bar in the back with tons of seating if you want to dine in. You can also play darts.Drinks are great, servers and bartenders are kind and serve you in order (they don't skip you to go to serve their friends first like in other bars).Let's talk food -- I highly recommend the uni pasta!! It's creamy and savory at the same time. My description of this dish doesn't do it justice so you'll have to just go and try it.The loco moco is alright. I swear, I think mine tasted like dish soap but my friends loco moco tasted fine. At least we know they clean their dishes well hahaha.The penne was also a really good dish. Honestly all their food is pretty good.

Always walked by this restaurant but never went in until today. After walking around the ward area, we started feeling a little hungry. We decided we didn't want a full meal and just wanted pupus. And from where we were sitting, I didn't want to walk too far and so we looked up the apps at The Social Club. Great timing, it was another 7-minutes until they opened at 4 pm. We headed down. The doors were closed but the sign said OPEN. We arrived the same time as another couple that caused the sliding doors to open at 3:58 pm. A staff member came to the door at 3:59 pm and he sat us first as the other couple was waiting for their friends. Love their promptness. All TVs were on on both sides of the restaurant. My seat was facing the TV with Spider-Man Far From Home and the TV next to it, the Steelers and Ravens game. While my sisters watched Avengers Ultron movie behind me. Super thirsty so we just had waters. Asked the server what apps are good and so we went with the dynamite chicken, the shrimp spring rolls and later, we ordered the zucchini fries cuz we needed some kind of veggies. Food was tasty. However, I did miss having ranch with the zucchini. Going through the menu, everything is reasonably priced. Not sure if because it was still early, but I liked the atmosphere a lot. And all that helped us were fabulous. I can tell that this is a great hangout. I most definitely have no complaints and look forward to visiting in the future.

It's been 2 years since the last time we were here and we knew we had to come back.One of the drinks we enjoyed the most was the match old fashion. We went to Japan and still couldn't find a drink that was as good as the Social's. It's definitely a drink to try if you like matcha and old fashioned drinks. As for food, their loco moco with fried rice is really good. When we first had it, we were only going to share it between me and my husband. We devoured it and ordered a second one! We ordered it again when we came back and it did not disappoint. We also tried the uni mentaiko pasta and the oyster shooters. Uni is a hit or miss for me and I really enjoyed this uni pasta. It was just slightly too salty. Oysters were also tasty. We would order these again. There's a parking garage with plenty of parking. The restaurant is on the second floor. The restaurant has a bar and plenty of TVs so it's a great place to watch sports and catch their HH. The staff are great and friendly. We can't wait to come back here again when we visit Honolulu.

Probably now one of my favorite places to come to eat and pau hana now. Located right below TJ Maxx in Wards, on the second floor. Parking it not too bad as it'll be during the late afternoon or evening time you'll come here. The entrance is open and welcoming, with someone always at the entrance to greet you and have you seated. When you get in, you'll see TVs posted throughout the place and dartboards available to play games. The bar is at the back of the room, and but there's lots of seating and tables.The menu is simple and has so much yummy food on it. My favorite is the oyster shooters for sure! I love how cute it comes out in spoons, and it's a good amount to share between two people, or for yourself. Also comes with a side of Tabasco for those who want a little kick. The dynamite chicken is really good too. It's not drenched in sauce which is nice because it doesn't get soggy. Again a good amount to share. The kimchee fried rice was good, it comes topped with an egg, and the yolk is always fun to pop. It's not spicy to me, but does have that kimchee flavor. The pipikaula my husband liked, he did say it was thick for him to chew, but it was a good amount for just him and not to share.Anyway, service was good. They came to check on you often, but when it does get busy, they may ask for you to open a tab. Will definitely come here again, especially for the drinks & oysters :)

Service was great as well as the food.Kind of a bar vibe but I was there for a party. Kind of casual, girls were wearing shorts.I love bar food in general but I think my favorites were the garlic shrimp and pork chops. We had so much food we had to leave some on the other table and I didn't try the Kalbi.I would go back again.

Go to place for food or drinks since their first location. Alone or with friends, I've loved this place since 2019! My go to order is ALWAYS the oyster shooters, Brussels sprouts, Mushroom Swiss burger. Then if I'm with a group I'll probably add on the garlic bacon fried rice or kimchi fried rice.This review was long over due btw but the people gotta know!!

Chill spot to have dinner/drinks with friends. Quick & friendly service. Good food overall. I loved the truffle penne pasta with bacon; will definitely come back for that. Oyster shooters were fresh & flavorful. Kimchi fried rice was also good. There's also dart machines! $1 per person per game. Nice to burn some calories after such a filling meal haha. Free parking. Walk-ins welcomed.
