What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Cool spot for a late-night nibble with a friend or two! Not the biggest place so I wouldn’t recommend for a large group but maybe a group of 3-4 at most. I came here with high hopes to play games with my friend but not the best games selection tbh. Luckily I brought a deck of cards with me and we chose to play with those over any of the options there. This place would win so many more points if they stocked up on some better games! Also insider tip: bring 4 quarters to get 1 sticker out of the machine (pictured)! Food-wise… For my plant-based folks: if you’re looking for a hearty meal, I wouldn’t recommend this place but if you’re looking for smaller/lighter bites or just drinks, this place will still work for you. I got the veggie tacos and split a salad with my friend and they were good but not super filling. Luckily, there’s some dessert places nearby if you want to get something sweet afterwards (we went to Phillmore creamery and would recommend)."
"I always love coming to this place. The vibe inside is always amazing, the staffs are so kind, and has really pretty good drinks. The interior gives a really nice chill vibe to do some work in the afternoon with the brick walls, different seats styles, colorful pictures on the wall, blue leather wall, and more! I recommend the honey latte and bread pudding with whipped cream! I'm not sure if they change their bread pudding flavor but I got caramelized apples when I ordered. I love that it transforms into a completely different place at night with more drinks available on the menu! There are fun games available on the tables near the entrance where you can place as you wait for your order or play throughout your time there. I highly recommend this place!!"
"Amazing concept. Work and study during the day, but after 5pm no computer allowed. It's a cute place for work-life balance. Highly recommend whether you're just looking for a place to chill or hangout with friends. Or even read a book at a table by yourself on the nifty wall seats!"
"Loved the ambiance of this place! Super cute spot to chill and hang out with friends. I got the Sangria which was not good (wouldn’t recommend) but excited to try the other drinks."
"Cozy (brick walls, high ceiling), low-key, comfortable, dimly-lit bar/coffee house, reasonably priced, with a friendly, knowledgeable and helpful young bartender, that is open till 11pm(!) in The Fillmore. Mid-century films are beamed high up on one of the brick walls. The Social Study ceases serving coffee well before 11pm and they do not serve tea, so keep that in mind if a late night coffee is your goal. The bartender cheerfully served up hot lemon water in lieu of tea."
"The Social Study is such a cute, underrated bar in the city! I love their selection of drinks and the aesthetic retro decor. Amazing date night spot and..."
