The Social (Bangsar)

Wind down with your colleagues over tasty small plates in this casual eatery. Burppler Nate M recommends the addictive Nachos (RM26) served with guacamole and cheese sauce. For a substantial meal, order the Buttermilk Chicken Burger (RM28). Look forward to juicy meat coated in crispy parmesan breadcrumbs and fluffy brioche buns. There are also delicious Asian delights on the menu, including the aromatic Pad Thai (RM22) and comforting Maggi Mee Goreng (RM22). Don’t miss out on the Happy Hour offerings that last until 9pm, where you’ll find draught beers (from RM15) and a range of premium liquor (from RM18).

The only thing that attracted my attention when this was being served was the glistening bun. So fluffy and buttered up! I admit I completely ignored the star of the show (sorry I blame the bread-loving monster in me).
The buttermilk fried chicken was just as delicious (as the bun lol). Though I would like the batter to be thicker because it fell apart just as I was about to cut through the meat.
The burger comes with a side of fries, which was also very well done! Thick cut *CHIPS* served hot. I liked it so much the bowl was empty before I realised it.

Aside from serving the best cocktails in town, the beef nachos is a favorite among friends. Be prepared to order a second ordering. So addictive!

A long day out certainly warrants a night spent relaxing over drinks. Head over to The Social with your mates or relatives to enjoy their happy hours from 12-9pm! Grab a tower (RM120-140) or simply order a red or white wine (RM19-25) by the glass to sip on. Nibble on their Chicken 65 (RM15) — boneless chicken pieces flavoured with tasty tandoori spices. Yee Sang is available for RM68 for 4-6 people (dine-in or takeaway) for you and your mates if you’re feeling the Chinese New Year mood! Reservations are encouraged.

Bangsar is no short of drinking spots but The Social constantly brings in the crowds most nights. The food menu offers an impressive assortment of western and Asian favourites, and the drinks selection is just as superb with many types of beers, wines, spirits and cocktails. Catch their Happy Hour from noon till 9pm with beers from only RM13, and reds or whites by the glass from RM19. With something for everyone, this outdoorsy bar and restaurant is great for catching up with friends, especially in big groups. They even have sharing platters like The Social Mezze Platter (RM41), packed with all things lamb, salads and dips you can mop up with the pita bread!
