We’ve had some pretty serious complaints lately.
Too many games. Too much sport. Happy hour making it impossible to leave. Staff being suspiciously friendly. Outdoor tables turning one drink into an entire afternoon.
Honestly, we’re not sure what to say for ourselves.
Come experience the problem for yourself at Silverlake Social.

Not every catch up needs a dinner reservation and a three course plan.
Sometimes it’s sharing snacks, cracking open a b**r, battling your mates on the arcade and seeing who actually has the better score.
Find your spot at Silverlake.
