Social House

It's a bar in Ayala's newest mall - Circuit Lane. When we reached there around midnight on Friday, Social House was the only oasis of noise in an otherwise deserted mall.

Good rock band playing inside but we preferred to sit in the bar area to have some conversation!

Most of us had beers while a couple tried Lychee Amaretto (very good) and Midori Sour (ok).

We tried some bar chow. Truffle Fries was the best, a must-try here. Salpicao was ok and Mozzarella Sticks was quite bland.

Good place to chill!

Came here on a Friday night and we were greeted by a pretty full house. The bar manages to be cozy, chill, social, energetic, and sophisticated at the same time. Not sure if it's the warm, inviting decor, the diverse drink menu, or the the live band performing on stage, but regardless, Social House manages to cater to all different types of clientele.

First, a note on the menu. While Social House is advertised as a bar/lounge, they have a nice selection of food as well. They have appetizers, pastas, salads, mains, and even desserts. So, if you're not in the mood for drinks, don't fret. I've tried their Mozzarella Sticks and Sausages. Both were fantastic. Not mind-blowing, but very solid bar chows.

But of course, the cocktails are where Social House shines. The bartenders clearly know what they're doing. Given the expansive bar area, I'd recommend finding a bar stool (especially if you're interested in the beautiful art of mixology).

I always find it mesmerizing to watch those good at their craft. Part science, part art, part dance (which I suppose is a sub-category of art), drink-making can be a fun sight to behold. These folks are talented at work efficiently. I can't give you specifics on the drinks here but I can promise you that the liquor offerings are adequate and I am sure you'll find the drink that suits you.

Given the interesting drink combinations here, I'd be curious to give that a try on my next visit. Come here on a date, come here with a chill crowd who might fancy posting up somewhere for a few hours, or just stop by for a couple of drinks after work. Social House has something for everyone. Trust me, when I'm redundant, it's a conscious choice.
