Silver Social

Silver Diner Brings Classic American Fare and a Rooftop Bar to Navy Yard | Eater DC

"Upstairs, Silver Social — the brand’s first true bar and a 21‑and‑up, 121‑seat perch set to open Wednesday, October 26 — targets millennial and game‑day crowds with small plates, booze, and bottomless brunch. I found the menu designed for sharing, with executive chef and Chopped winner Ype Von Hengst likening the approach to “an American way of eating tapas;” daily offerings include scallops with pea and goat cheese risotto, tenderloin medallions with wild mushrooms, flatbreads and sliders, and brunch items such as churro French toast and a meat‑free ranchero hash with a vegan egg substitute, plus sides like latkes and maple bacon. The bar features a substantial wine, beer and cocktail list with twists from beverage manager Richard Torres (Maui Mule, Old Fashioned Cherry Cigar) and drinks highlighting local distillers — for example the “DC Reviver” with Green Hat gin and an orange‑liqueur/absinthe note and a “Strawberry Limoncello Spritz” using Seven 16 vodka — and Silver Social’s hours vary through the week, including late-night weekend service." - Emily Wishingrad
