LOVED this place! We went on a whim on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty empty and super chill. I have not consumed 3 cocktails in a row at a bar probably since college, but these were so unique and so well crafted that I couldn’t stop myself. I had the Pocket Change, the OG, and the Tinto De Verano. The OG was totally my favorite! Definitely going back soon!

Desert Social has been such a beautiful experience each and every time! I have attended events here and photographed them for The Friendship Mixer. I am always so excited to shoot in this earthy, moody, gorgeous space! Great service and cocktails too 20/10!

Amazing and interesting cocktails at a reasonable price with a fun vibe. The staff is all wonderful and Bailey has been great at guiding us through the menu. My wife and I absolutely love this place. The Agua de Casa, Blonde Negroni, Oaxacan Old Fashioned, and Adelita's Espresso have been our favorites so far. We will be back soon and often!

Personally me, super cute date night spot or place for a drink with a friend! Very dark and moody, not someplace you can go with a lot of people since it’s a small bar. But it was so nice as a date spot if you want somewhere to sit and talk without feeling like people are watching you! We went on a Tuesday night so it was very chill and laid back, can’t speak for the weekend crowd!
