The Social American Tavern Reviews
I have attended the SINGO game nights a few times with different groups of friends. Every time we have had a great time. The game is entertaining, the drinks are good as well as the food and service. Love the space and intend on returning.
Some of the best bartenders in the city. Absolutely great staff. A credit to the city of Milwaukee. Don't believe the professional complainers.
Awful service for mothers day brunch. Food promised on menu was not available, not even fruit which could have been prepared well in advance. Waiter was not trained, it wasnt his fault. The venue is beautiful, but they have some work to do when it comes to service.

The Social American Tavern is a cozy place that offers a variety of dishes. The appetizers, such as the bacon Brussels and cheese curd apps, are generous and satisfying. Main courses, like the green goddess salad and chicken Caesar, may take some time to arrive, but attentive service helps make up for the wait. The menu can be hit-or-miss, with some dishes like the mac and cheese falling short, while others like the wings and BLT are decent. The restaurant has a friendly atmosphere and a relaxing vibe, making it a good spot for a date night or casual gathering. The space is cool with lots of potential, and the drinks and food are generally good, though some recent visits noted the food was cold or took too long. The tavern's welcoming environment and enjoyable game nights, like SINGO, add to its charm.
The food was generally okay, and the drinks were pretty good. The waitstaff was praised for providing a great experience, with one customer leaving a much larger tip than the standard 20%. While one customer said they probably wouldn't return, another customer described the tavern as a "neighborhood gem" with good and friendly service, delicious offerings, reasonable prices, and a pleasant atmosphere. The ambiance was also praised, with comfortable decor and plenty of space between tables. The brat-stickers and Bao Buns were highlighted as very tasty.
