Very friendly service and chill happy hour today with the family including little ones. We'll definitely be back.
I'm here to share that should you find yourself in Erie, Colorado and a lover of cocktails, treat yourself and visit Erie Social Club. (I went to dinner around the corner with a friend it was just okay. Super sugary watered down drinks so we decided to mosey.) I figured there had to be an option for a real cocktail. Imagine my excitement when I saw ESC was around the corner. Extensive menu of cocktails and a lot of riffs off classics. The bar itself has a lovely selection of booze and liqueurs. They also have some cool wine tools, good size wine collection, and beer. We'd already eaten but they had food too. The venue itself is quite large but comfortable. Leather loungey chairs, couch area, high tops, and plenty of seats at the bar (where we sat). This would be a great spot to bring a large group of friends! It's also a great spot for just two! Make it a date night with friends or significant other. I had them make me a black Manhattan (made by Steven) and then tried their whiskey sour (made my Jose) which were both mixed and served well. We also met Nick who was super personable and informative. They have a happy hour from 3-5 every day they're open! Love that they open at 3 and not 4. Nearing closing time (9 t-th), they play Closing Time followed by Happy Trails. Color me entertained. Cannot wait to return here.

An excellent night out choice for anyone in or around Erie. The owners and staff are welcoming, the vibe is mellow, and the food and drinks are delicious. Highly recommend their margaritas! Trivia night makes for a good date night choice, but would also recommend coming here for a mellow night of drinks and charcuterie!

First time here and it was fabulous! Loved the cozy ambiance, great wine list and drinks. Friendly, good service! I'll be back!

I want to like the Erie Social Club. It is in my neighborhood and has a moderately priced menu. However, after two visits, I am unlikely to ever go back. A two-star rating is generous. First, all the food we ordered was mediocre at best. We ordered spring rolls and they brought us yucky fried egg rolls that were tasteless. The drinks were uninspiring. We had missing items that came an hour late and after repeatedly inquiring about them. Be warned.

Great drinks and atmosphere. Talon (spelling) was great! He listened to the type of drinks I was asking about and suggested New Empress. It was the perfect mix for me! It was light purple on color and foamy on top. This instantly won my trust and I didn't want anyone else to make my drinks after that. He is friendly, makes good suggestions, and knows his cocktails. The only downside of the evening is they close right at 9:00 pm and the vacuuming right at 9 seemed passive aggressive and wasn't the best way to end our evening. I would suggest an announcing a last call first. We were here from out of state.
Really nice space. We hosted trivia there for a private event this week. Staff and owner were all great to work with. The space is very pretty & cozy, the food offerings that we tried were all delicious, and the bar has a great selection of spirits, wine and beer. It's nice to have a place like this in Erie; we look forward to a return visit during a "normal" (not private event) service!

Drinks were good, Food is terrible. Go here for a nice cocktail (albeit pricey for the quantity) but then do yourself a favor and go elsewhere for dinner. This place is busy and quite loud so difficult to converse with your party. Would have ordered another round of drinks but couldn’t get service.

they quickly sent a group of seasoned electricians to evaluate our current setup. They proposed the necessary upgrades after doing a thorough analysis to update our system and improve safety

Maybe it was the sepia-toned light that accompanies certain fall days. Maybe it was the entire staff of an apparent daytime booth market all looking up, Stepford Wives style, as I entered the Club's front doors. Maybe it was realizing that sitting down at the bar - the only place seemingly available to order food… in-house… during lunchtime on the weekend… meant subjecting myself to the impromptu musings of a neurotic and possibly narcissistic gaggle of bartenders. Beyond weird, my first experience at the Erie Social Club had the makings of the beginning of an A24 horror movie.
But let's get to the food because that's why we're all here. I got the polenta fries following a rave review from said gaggle, see above. On one hand, this order was a blessing in disguise because it confirmed my suspicion that I don't like polenta. Probably for the same reason I don't love tamales, or at least their exterior. Lots of people love polenta, and that makes me happy that there is more of the polenta for them. But no amount of frying, or balsamic glazes, or mystery reductions will change my mind on the matter, TYVM.
I heard that the owners are vegan and that is cool as cool can be. But the ambiance of the restaurant seems to depend on the whims of its staff of the moment. As for vegan options, the Club offers a few, but these seem to center around a Tofurky club sandwich - a surprising juxtaposition for a spot that otherwise seems to slant slightly upscale.
A seasoned purveyor of how horror movies usually progress, I got the eff out of there - at least till I can regroup.

Food was mediocre, service was inattentive and subpar. Had to order my drink 3 different times with 2 different servers. By the time they finally got around to actually ringing it ~15 minutes later, happy hour was now over so they charged full price. They don’t present you with a check to review, they just hand you a device with your credit card already ran asking you to select a tip.Do not recommend the pretzel bites.
