The Box Social

We stopped by here after our sad experience at XLB to grab a cocktail. First, love the ambiance and atmosphere. We sat at the bar and it was our type of scene. The bartenders were friendly but also gave us space for us to enjoy our drinks and conversations. They did periodically check in. We had the cocktail flight to try and we enjoyed each and every one of them! Looks like these flights are seasonal. We tried their parmesan popcorn and it tasted exactly like you'd expect it.. A lot bigger than we anticipated. Their whiskey sour was really good, recommended that. I didn't care for their rotating old fashion. Old fashions should be served on a single ice cube and a bunch of mixed cubes doesn't hit the same. This is also my fault because I forgot to ask about the ice cube like I generally do wow I sound so pretentious. But other than the ice cubes part, the drink itself was strong but it wasn't smooth and we didn't care for it. But I saw the bartender make a regular old fashion with a single ice cube! My boyfriends tequila cocktail came out looking girly and I laughed because he thought it was going to come out 'cool' looking. The drink itself was pretty strong but because I had been drinking more whiskey drinks, I didn't want to indulge in his as I don't like mixing. But he really liked his drink.

The atmosphere of Box Social was very laid back. The drinks my date and I ordered were the El Gauncho and the Dirty Little Thief. The El Gauncho comes with a half shot of Mezcal on the side. The Mezcal shot can either be drank by itself or put in the drink. Forewarning though, the Mezcal has a very smoky flavor that will transform the El Gauncho into another entirely different tasting drink. The El Gauncho was very fruity and sweet tasting whereas the Dirty Little Thief was spicy and sour. The sage in the Dirtt Little Thief was a refreshing touch. My date and I were feeling the drinks as soon as the second round touched out lips. Will be coming back.

One of my favorite bars in North Portland area. I'm glad that they reopened. There's been a slight change to the menu but you can still order some of the old drinks from the previous menu. The drinks are fun and playful. Great vibe and service.

Great atmosphere, attentive and professional service, friendly and skilled bartender, reasonable prices. Perfect. I'll definitely be back!!!

Lovely little bar with cozy tables and all the comfort food bites! Surprisingly diverse cocktail menu and a great atmosphere. The staff was all so friendly and kind.

We love this neighborhood spot! Great creative cocktails, staff, and snacks. The tuna melt is the best I’ve ever had. Love it there!

I went years ago and it was good. Went more recently and it still is. The cocktail special was awesome, food was okay.

This is a truly friendly and welcoming neighborhood bar that also happens to have fabulously crafted cocktails by the bartenders! I loved the smokiness of the Sazerac and the lush rye in the paper plane. It's a really chill sleek bar with a relaxing environment and a mid century flair!

Nice ambience, snacks, and of course drinks. This is my go to place for a good old fashioned. It's small and quiet, good for conversations. There's some people watching too on busier days.

Have never eaten here... but I certainly don't want anyone -erp...making love to my brunch... I'm being generous in my assessment of the place but they sure have no respect for the customer...SEE PICTURE... REMOVE THAT FUGLY MESSAGE... it's been there since y'alls #Antifa associates uglified the windows of all the stores on Williams Street with biological matter... Paint over that sign or Your General Customer's IQ levels will begin to dwindle... MOST PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF WORDS and its effects on things like Water, Alcohol, Food and even Pork!
