Always a very welcoming environment; staff are hospitable, attentive and make you feel like you’re right at home- great vibes here! Watched my first knicks game here! Woohoo, thanks for that experience! Bonus stars for my pup, Bunny always being welcomed here too. The food is delicious, drinks are great, entertainment is offered (pool, darts, etc.) perfect for lunch, a night out, casual hang, or just to stop by and say hi to everyone! Also, great music 🤙 I’ve heard this place is also the go to spot for trivia lovers. Not my cup of tea, but my friends love it! Thank you team at Mellers!

TOP SPOT! Absolutely LOVED Mellers. We came to watched a Premier league game and had a fantastic time. The staff, the drinks, and the food are all fantastic! Highly recommended the calamari and the bloody Mary's 👌 thank you Mellers, you made our Sunday! We will be back!

Single handedly the best chicken tenders around. A great bar to catch any and all sports games with a fun and lively atmosphere. Owner is very kind and friendly. Staff is attentive and the drinks served are always cold. Can stop in anytime and it is a great hang!

Best pool table and darts. Best wings and burgers. My boys come here often to watch sports. Totally recommend. Amazing sports bar and music.

If you’re in search of a nice bar in the UES this is an amazing place! Food was delicious. Great vibe, fantastic service. Special shoutout to Rob for the great service!

Love this local place. good food and drinks. We come here to always catch a game. Had a blast here during the 2024 mets playoff run. If your a sports fan and want a place to hang out this it.

Neighborhood gem. There is something going on every night of the week- trivia, taco Tuesdays, 75 cent wings on Weds, and there’s always good music with a juke box and a pool table. Can’t go wrong. The staff make you feel like you’re at home and the vibes are always good. Anna and Rob aren’t too bad either, I applaud the way they run the place.

This bar never misses. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and on point. A fun and relaxed atmosphere for drinks and a quick meal. Definitely a go-to spot.

We went for a late dinner and sat in their back dining room which is warm and cozy with soft lighting. Our server Mallory was fantastic, she went over and above to make sure we had everything we needed. We had the skirt steak, the tostadas, the purple gin spritz and the cheesecake. Everything was delicious! We'll definitely be back soon.

Beverley

The BEST servers work here! We love coming as a group and the food and drinks are great. Always have great deals on offer too. Love the gnocchi and truffle fries. Their spritz is on the stronger side

My partner and I hosted our first event at Sojourn Social, and it was such a beautiful experience from start to finish. The space is warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed — the kind of place that immediately makes people feel relaxed and comfortable. It easily accommodated our group of 24 people along with all of our crafting supplies, without ever feeling crowded. The staff was incredibly accommodating and supportive throughout the evening, helping us create a seamless flow for both crafting and socializing. Drinks were thoughtfully prepared, and a variety of dishes were served that truly impressed our guests. The Caesar salad, pita veggie tray, french fries, and chicken meatballs were all highlights and consistently complimented throughout the night. What stood out most was how naturally the space supports intentional, community-centered gatherings. Sojourn Social made it easy for our guests to settle in, connect, and fully enjoy the experience. We’re so grateful to have partnered with such a welcoming venue and hope to host at Sojourn Social again very soon. Also love that it is dog friendly so I could bring my puppy

Perfect UES brunch spot! The most dog-friendly restaurant. Not only did they come over to offer a pup cup of doggie snacks, they even gave our dog a toy! Great service. The food was great. Music levels were perfect to still hear your conversation. Will be back!

I had such a great experience here and can’t wait to come back. Came here with my friends and we had a blast! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was incredibly attentive without being overbearing. The food was the real highlight, everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, and you can tell a lot of care goes into both the menu and the execution. Portions were generous and well worth the price. Overall, this spot strikes the perfect balance between quality, service, and ambiance. Highly recommend for a casual night out or a special occasion.

Sojourn Social is a beloved neighborhood spot my husband and I love as well as our friends. It’s a great meet up spot. Welcoming service, excellent food, and great value. Favorites include the chicken sandwich, the home made gnoochi, chicken meatballs (swoon) and a fresh, flavorful Caesar salad, along with creative cocktails and popular happy hour specials. The atmosphere is easygoing yet energetic, with comfortable seating, well-chosen music, and an inviting outdoor space. Thoughtful staff, strong management, and fun special nights make it a place people enjoy returning to with friends.

Sojourn Social is such a great spot. The space is really well done — cozy, stylish, and never feels too crowded. It’s an easy choice whether you’re going on a date, grabbing drinks with friends, or just popping in for one. The cocktails are always solid and the bartenders actually know what they’re doing. Service is friendly and relaxed, not over the top, and you never feel rushed. The vibe is what really makes it stand out — fun, social, and not pretentious at all. Definitely one of those places you keep coming back to.

Sojourn Social is one of those rare NYC spots that actually lives up to the hype. The space is beautifully designed—warm, stylish, and intimate without feeling cramped—and the energy is always on point. It’s perfect for a date night, catching up with friends, or even meeting new people. The drinks are thoughtfully crafted, creative without being overcomplicated, and consistently excellent. You can tell the bartenders really know their stuff and care about the experience. The staff overall is welcoming, attentive, and makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. What really sets Sojourn Social apart is the vibe: it feels social, elevated, and fun without being pretentious. A true neighborhood gem that still feels special every time you go. Highly recommend. Place is fire . Drinks are cheap and good quality

Alina Bonsell

Sojourn Social is a great spot and easily the best place on this side of town. I’ve hosted several events here and they have a really nice private space. The owner and staff are wonderful, very accommodating, easy to work with, and flexible with different needs and budgets. Highly recommend.

Sojourn Social is an absolute must-visit in NYC. The cheeseburger truffle fries are pure indulgence—crispy, perfectly seasoned, and drenched in rich truffle flavor that elevates comfort food to a new level. Every bite is crave-worthy and unapologetically delicious. And the Madelline Moscow Mule? Perfection in a glass. Refreshing, well-balanced, and beautifully crafted—it’s the kind of cocktail you sip slowly to appreciate how smooth and flavorful it is. With elevated food, expertly crafted drinks, and a stylish, welcoming atmosphere, Sojourn Social delivers an experience that feels both chic and fun. This is the kind of place you come back to—and bring friends—because it’s just that good.

This was my first time at this restaurant, and I must say, the staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly. The cocktail menu was festive and fun, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was fantastic as well. I’ll definitely be returning!

Been here for st paddy’s day and for post marathon brunch and am always impressed by how accommodating the staff is here. The names for cocktails cracks me up, happy hour deal is great, and the sauces r high key amazing (what’s in the ketchup?). Shoutout Colby <3

First time coming here. We started the dinner with Tequila Negroni and a That Me Espresso Martini. Both drinks were delicious and pretty strong! We also ordered long Island Duck Croquettes. It was nice and crispy, but I wasn’t sure what it was really. The sauce was nice and had a punch from the mustard. We also got a Chef’s Special Burger cook medium well and a 30 days dried aged ribeye steak cooked medium rare. The bacon in the burger was cooked to perfection. It was nice and crispy, and not greasy at all. The ribeye was also tender and flavorful. Everything was very nice. The servers were nice and friendly. However, the music was quite loud and it was very hard to talk. Everyone was basically yelling in order to have a conversation. Overall, it was a very nice restaurant.

Ambiance (5/5): This restaurant is absolutely beautiful interior and exterior. I love eating here because it feels fancy, welcoming, and cozy all at the same time! I especially like how dog friendly this place is. This is why I brought my dog to dine in their outside patio. There's a front patio with several dining spots and the outdoor patio has covered dining in little mini private booths and tables about the backyard, multi-level spaces. There's string lights, fake greenery. It feels like you're someplace not in the middle of the city. I love love loved this spot. Service (5/5): They brought a Bark-cuterie for my dog and provided constant refills for her too! We were helped throughout the dining experience and waitress was super sweet when I asked her what the cola spritz was. When asked what the M&M shot was, she also kindly got me one even though I didn't order from the menu when my friend did! It was super sweet! Food (5/5): We came for their Thursday specials $10 aerprols: THERSy day for a girl dinner of coke aerprol, Caesar salad, and M&M shot. I decided to go for their summer special of a salmon on a bed of quinoa 'risotto' corn. The presentation was beautiful! The salmon had a nice sear and was cooked to a medium-rare which made the fish very tender. Can't wait to come back again!

love the environment/atmosphere. the service is amazing as well. great variety between individual entrees (pasta, steak) and shareable items (charcuterie board). the drink names are so creative and the drinks themselves are phenomenal, which makes for a perfect combination. good place for a catch-up or a more casual lunch/dinner that still has a real sit-down vibe to it.

Evanelis Chusan

Love the outdoor seating! First time at sojourn social and had a great dining experience. The staff was very helpful and friendly. My burger was made to perfection. My aunt stake was delicious. Our dog Rosie can confirm it all!!!

I’ve been to this place multiple times for drinks and food, and every visit has been fantastic! I absolutely love that it’s dog-friendly—they even have a fun and well-organized puppy happy hour that adds such a unique touch. The decor is stylish and welcoming, and the patio is a perfect spot to relax, especially with a furry friend. I recently attended a dog-themed event here and was seriously impressed with how smoothly everything was run. Not only is it a great spot for drinks, but the food was surprisingly good too. Our meals came out quickly, fresh, and exactly as ordered. Everyone in my group was happy with their dishes, and the couple next to us even complimented the staff on how efficient and friendly they were. I ordered a mimosa, which was perfectly mixed and super refreshing. The service throughout our visit was warm and attentive—even during the busy rush, the staff made sure we were taken care of with smiles and genuine hospitality. It's clear they care about the customer experience, and it really shows. As someone who’s worked in the restaurant industry, I appreciate the level of professionalism and heart this place offers. Can’t wait to come back again!

My new favorite place to go with my puppy. We had such a great time! They accommodated us very quickly and brought my pup a bowl of carrots and prosciutto (that he inhaled😆) and water right away. The menu was great and our espresso martinis were absolutely delicious and sooo pretty!!! Oysters and tuna tartare were yummy! Definitely going back for the great service and atmosphere ‼️

Ordered a couple cocktails - a little too sweet. The chili martini was okay (too sweet). Would definitely just stick to the canned drinks or draft beers next time. Lots of TVs - would come back to watch sports.

Emily Fligel

The staff is kind and the back room we were seated in was warmly lit and inviting. Easy to make a reservation. Service was pretty slow but it was a busy Sunday. The food was delicious, my friend got steak and eggs and their strawberry lemonade mocktail and I got their maple sausage egg and cheese with scrambled eggs and arugula salad. The seats are comfortable and they don’t rush you at all.

Madison Butchko

The food looked much nicer than it tasted. Most mid steak I ever ate. So overrated!!! Chicken and meatballs were ok. Nothing was great. This is a place you should 100% skip! The service was terrible. The waiter never came by took our order. We waited for a very long time until we finally were able to get someone’s attention. I honestly think it was some of the worst service. Just forgotten the entire time.

The owner has an attitude and a discriminatory behavior against me and my friend who were only trying to enjoy our weekend in nyc and play some pool. Says there is a drink minimum just to use to use the pool table and the table is horrible and unplayable.
