Day to Night: Summer Dining & Drinks at Back Bay Social

Summer in Boston brings longer days, warmer nights, and the perfect excuse to spend every free moment outside. Whether you're grabbing a midday lunch or catching up with friends over evening cocktails, Back Bay Social is where Back Bay locals and visitors alike come together to eat, drink, and enjoy the best of the season. Nestled on Boylston Street, right in the heart of Back Bay, our two-story neighborhood gem transforms with the sun. As the light filters through our open windows and the energy of the city buzzes just outside, there's no better place to enjoy the summer vibe, whether you're in the mood for something casual or ready for a lively night out.

Lunch, Dinner, and All the Good Stuff In Between

Back Bay Social's menu offers approachable comfort food with a seasonal twist. Join us for lunch and savor favorites like the French Dip sandwich or our satisfying Social Burger, stacked high with all the right toppings. If you're in the mood for something lighter, our Social House salad with grilled salmon or the classic wedge is the perfect midday pick-me-up. Come dinner, things heat up. Share a few small plates with your crew or dive into entrées like our mustard-grilled salmon or the fan-favorite steak frites. The atmosphere shifts as the evening rolls in, with dimmed lights, upbeat music, and a social buzz that's hard to resist. Whether you're seated at a cozy booth or our lively bar, every bite is made better by the laid-back energy that defines us.

Cocktails That Keep the Vibe Going

Our bar program is all about fun and flavor. From spritzes and classics to creative originals, there's a drink for every part of your day. Start the day off light with a refreshing Aperol Spritz or a blackberry lust cocktail to cool off during the afternoon. As the sun sets, transition to bolder options, such as our Espresso Martini or Social Old Fashioned. Our bartenders are always happy to recommend something new if you're looking to change it up. Don't forget to check out our seasonal frozen cocktails and cocktails of the month. Whether you're on a casual date, catching up with coworkers, or kicking off a night out, our cocktails are designed to set the tone.
