Sports & Social Cary

Sport and Social in Cary is a huge restaurant/bar and is great for accommodating big groups or parties. The place is nice and clean and has a wide open layout with huge TV screens and a bar section. I feel it almost has a little bit of Vegas in it. Top rating for open layout and cleanliness. The food however was just OK. We ordered the burgers and they came out after another order was placed. We were thinking they probably forgot to submit the first orders of burgers. The service was really slow and while they checked on us a few times in the beginning, we had to flag them down a couple of times at the end. Overall, this place is great for hosting parties, being entertained, watching the games or playing trivia. For food you’re probably better off going somewhere else. The customer service could be improved.

Great sports bar and hang out spot. The food is definitely your typical bar food. The drinks were decent. The pretzel had potential, but the cheese sauce was cold. The shrimp appetizer was ok. The chicken tenders were a little on the dry side. The appetizers and the meals both took some time to come out and the place was pretty empty. It was 9pm on a Monday night. The atmosphere is great though! Just make sure you eat before you go.

Holy movie theater screen at a sport bar. Had to pick my mouth off the floor when I walked in and saw the hurricanes players where basically life sized. Nema our waitress was a absolutely wonderful. Super attentive and very cherry. Great waitress! Food was great. Love the massive pretzel to go with the massive screen. Arancini was good. Lots of fun games to play here and very large bar. Outdoor area was beautiful just too chilly today.

The food was great, the atmosphere was relaxed, and our server Connor was phenomenal. He was attentive, friendly, and on point from start to finish. Highly recommend Sports & Social Cary!

Sport and Social is a fantastic spot! The food was delicious. The atmosphere is perfect—great vibes that make it ideal for a night out. The service was top-notch; the staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. The rooftop is definitely a highlight, offering stunning views and a great place to relax and enjoy. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and an good overall experience! I just wish they have more food and drink options. Will definitely come again here with my friends.

Today I got off work early so I can catch a couple of the ACC Tournament games.. a very nice gentleman named John was my server he was very professional very nice he answered any questions I had about the menu he was very knowledgeable he checked on me frequently. I hope each time I come in there I hope to get him. John did a fantastic job...

I recently had the opportunity to get a few individuals together to network for a social. I’ve been here a few times and definitely recommend the food. However, this time provided a different atmosphere. With a change in location due to unforeseen circumstances, Jennifer provided superb and efficient service for scheduling the event, organizing a menu and ensuring staff was present. It’s a nice and spacious location that provides necessary accommodations for various crowds.

Let me just start by saying Exceptional, Exceptional!! We had my daughters college graduation party Mothers Day weekend on the Roof Top (AVA) and it was AMAZING! The staff was on point with everything that we asked and did not ask… Customer Service was a 10 + and everyone did a phenomenal job. I will definitely recommend Sports & Social to everyone I know. I know my daughter Caylah had a great time because all she did was laugh and smile. Special thank you to Davin, Jaxx, Jennifer and the AVA Staff. May God continue to Bless this establishment. Thank you again, Charla Quarles

The southwest salad bowl I had was outstanding. Generous portions make this to be more than two meals The service was quick and very stellar in that the waitstaff didn't even write our orders down and remembered them correctly. It is a sports bar so don't try to have intimate conversations. It's loud as such type places are. Many BIG screen TVs with various sports playing; as well as, smaller ones to accommodate folks sitting at the bar.

I wished I lived closer to the Fenton area because this is definitely the type of sports bar that I like. It's high energy and plenty of screens all over the first floor. I didn't get a chance to visit the second and third floor but they host different types of events on each floor. With football season right around the corner this is a great place to catch games. I had Baja shrimp tacos and they were very flavorful, the cabbage pico mix was perfectly pickle-ly. The boneless wings were lackluster, a little dry.

A+ grade for watching sports. Super-cool and modern; big interior with lots of seating options and multiple bars; great for a big gathering and GIANT screens along with dozens of other screens. B- grade for food. We've ordered Several entrees and starters. Nothing really stands out. Have had a few (way-) over cooked beef burgers, and chicken items. Service can vary. Generally excellent service though.

Great spot for small and large groups. Spacious, multi-floor indoor and outdoor seating, eclectic menu with fair pricing, and plenty of parking. High entertainment value with numerous big screens, evening trivia, skeeball and other games scattered around. Service was abysmal; 1 guy taking care of our large group of 30. Most adults ended up getting their own drinks from the bar all night; guest in our party took food orders for all, wrote them down, and gave to server. Only other knock was game areas aren't well monitored by staff, which creates overflow chaos within a large group section. Several drinks on our table were spilled because of unattended children (not in our group).

Service: the hostess left without telling us to follow, she then stopped to talk to her friend leaving us standing in the middle of the room. I know they were not talking about work because the dude said "u missed it, it was dope". Finally got to to be near the table, she dropped off the silverware and left before we even got to the table. Our server saw us 3 times: got the drink, got the orders, got the check. It was Not busy at all. We were there on a Saturday 1230pm. It seems like every time we go (this is the 3rd) we have bad luck: the draft Beers were not working. This was not their fault. But really? What bad luck for us. Food: my Philly cheese was all bread , dry and tasteless. little meat. Horrible. Don't get it. Burger also lacked taste and flavor. Chicken tenders are prob the best thing on the menu. Fat and crispy! Great for the kids. Ambiance: loud, like any other sport bar. We'll lit and very open. Been here 3 times. Gave it 3 chances. Food quality never improved. Service is okay but Quick. I would recommend this place for sports night and beers, skip the food don't waste your money. Would probably never go back

The food and overall vibe were great! After eating, we went upstairs to dance, and my wife loved it!

I've been to Sports & Social a couple times now and really liked it. They have good food and good drinks. I think it's a fun place to go to watch a game, since they have a lot of tvs. The food is great. On a recent trip we just ordered drinks and hung out. The drinks are delicious and the juices they use in them taste very fresh. Our server was tentative and continued to check on us throughout the evening.

This place was fun. A great place to watch a game. Our food was great. Our server was great and even though the kitchen was really busy and our food took forever, she checked in regularly while we waited.

First time coming here. I wanted to relax somewhere while I was exploring the Fenton shops and a friend referred me to this establishment in particular. I searched at the menu and I was excited that they also have a non alcoholic selection too which was the selling point. This place was packed too with March madness in full swing. Staff here was friendly. I ordered some food here and I can say you get your money's worth here. I absolutely enjoyed how the food was presented! My only complaint is that I do think it's a bit criminal to charge $8 for a liquid death.

Isaiah M was friendly and attentive and provided great service everytime when we needed our drinks or had a question he was fast and answering it for us thank you isaiah

This place has all the makings of what a good sports bar should be and yet it misses the mark completely in 2 huge areas that count the most and bc of that I don't consider this location a win. PROS: PARKING: Fenton offers lots of parking and there's a garage literally across from the elevator access to S&S Cary. The area around the elevator should be cleaned a bit because that's your first impression and you didn't cut it on this one. AMBIANCE: Sports vibe with ample seating room for tables and high tops. Bar seating was very nice and clean. Great lighting and anywhere you sit, you have a perfect view of the massive screen that offers multiple sports views unless there's a big game on and then you're really happy about the magnitude of the screen. SERVICE: Was greeted warmly by the hostess and joined my friend at the bar where the real crown jewel of S&S Cary, Madi, promptly helped us. She was friendly and smiling and so sweet and you felt like you were seeing an old friend. She gave great recommendations and some tips about sports nights and was on top of her game with taking everyone's order without missing a beat. S&S Cary has some beautiful friendly bartenders so they definitely did something right there! CONS (oh, lord! The cons): MUSIC: I don't know where they found this alleged "DJ", but he needs to be returned and returned ASAP. I can spot a wedding DJ when I hear one and this guy was it. His playlist was all over the place and the songs were all at least 10-15 years old. For example, he played a 50cent song that I don't even think 50 listens to anymore. I was fully prepared to hear the Cupid shuffle or the chicken dance come on at any moment. The music absolutely ruined the vibe. Update your playlist and quit being such a lazy "DJ." FOOD: My friend and I were both very hungry, but once we looked at the menu and the photos online, we quickly realized that the food was sub standard and in desperate need of a Gordon Ramsay shapeup, but what I wasn't expecting was how easily they could manage to screw up the easiest of orders which is apparently their signature fries with old bay seasoning and side of "cheese" sauce. It's FRIES. How do you mess up fries? Bland salt free fries in a bowl dusted ON TOP w old bay seasoning. I'm assuming the person making the food back there is the kind of person who puts raisins in their potato salad bc no one who knows how to season would just season on top and not toss the fries to make sure they are all coated. And this was just the start of the disappointment in this simple order. It is clear that S&S Cary's kitchen/management/owners are pinching some pennies. Perhaps they overpaid for the rest of the bar and now making up for it by taking shortcuts elsewhere like WATERING DOWN THEIR CHEESE SAUCE AND RANCH. Who does that? Sauce is suppose to attach itself to the food you are dipping in it and not dribble down bc of how watered down it is. In fact, if you just tasted the sauces on their own you could tell that there was barely any flavor bc of how watered down they are. Reminded me of when grandma would pour water in the jar of ketchup or mayo and get every last bit out or cut it open to finger clean the container. How are you so bad at something so simple? Epic fail and we changed our mind about ordering any food there. I'd go back to watch games and have some drinks, but I'd definitely eat beforehand and wear ear plugs.

We cozied up to the bar and loved our experience at Sports & Social! This is the spot for game day. Hard stop! They have all the screens you need and the food is tasty also. The service was a bit slow as our orders took quite a while to come out, but friendly. The bartender took care of us as best he could and checked on us often. The fries, pork belly Bao, cookie skillet a la mode, and cocktails were all great. I switched the gin and enjoyed the Lavender Haze and the hubs enjoyed his smoked old fashioned. All in all, we'd definitely return for the vibes (great music) and game watching!

Isaiah was an amazing server! We will Come back just to have him as our server! His device was excellent and his personality was phenomenal!

Your average bar food in a very large space with a ton of screens. I'm sure it will fill up during football season. There are at least three floors with a rooftop patio (didn't see it), and they also open the doors on the first floor between the outdoor seats and inside. My friends and I shared a nacho plate (again, pretty typical) which was a good size portion. I ordered a house margarita ($5 on Thursdays) and pimento cheese burger. The burger was ok...not very juicy despite asking for it to be cooked medium. This place is fine if you're looking to watch the game with friends and aren't too picky about excellent food.

Our server Jenna was outstanding. She was knowledgeable about the menu and very upbeat. She was attentive to our drink needs and brought a fun atmosphere to our meal. The nachos we ordered were huge. Two of us split the meal, then invited the other to help themselves

Lexi the bartender was awesome last night! Knew the menu top to bottom and I never waited on a drink. 5 stars.

So been to SSC twice now and each time it seems to be the same results...... 1st off... stars are for Server and Vibe .... but other than that... it goes down hill. Vibes are cool and lively for game days ... Having a DJ to break things up during game breaks and half times are cool .. Lots of screens everywhere to watch the games . If you are in the main first floor area.. i would highly recommend the bar seating away from the mega wall ... your neck will be sore after looking up at it if you sat closer.. My server for both times that I have come here goes by the name of "DC" ... she is mad cool and pretty attentive .. Now onto the bad .... the food ... it sucks here period .. Have had the wings, chicken tenders, nachos, old bay fries, beyond the meat burger... Wings are dry as fuk ... flavorless unless you drown them in Sauce. The tenders also the same way ... dru and flavorless... Burger... damn it's just like they were like .. people will just enjoy burgers with no seasoning of flavors! ... come on folks... a lil seasoning and flavor doesn't hurt. Fries are soggy and limp. Nachos are good but skimp on the protein on them ... like you charge us extra for protein ... so where is it ?? Think they just get their basic Sysco food products delivered and serve as is... no doctoring to make it their own or nothing ... Just here .. heat it up and serve it .. Overall just come here for drinks and vibes ... skip the food....

This place is good for a sports bar. I been to the one in Atlanta as well. Nice atmosphere for watching sports and eating.

Bad experience tonight with Sports & Social Cary.....Arrived at 6:15 hoping to grab a quick bite before our 7:15 movie. Were quickly seated and the server was able to say hello and would return to take our drink order and bring out waters (only 2 out of the 3 waters ever arrived...). A bit of delay but took our drink orders and those came out pretty fast. We ordered our food (turkey burger, wagyu meatballs, Philly cheesesteak), and then waited a pretty long time. At around 6:50, we spotted our server and let him know we had to get to a movie at 7:15. At 7:00, 2 of the dishes arrived. Waygu meatballs were cold, so I am guessing they were sitting around for a bit. The third dish came out, but our server was carrying it on top of other dishes on his tray and he asked us to grab it off as he was walking by. I think the kitchen must have been pretty disorganized the way the food was coming out. Anyway, we tried to quickly eat our food and rush out. Oh, and no ketchup offered for our fries.... - Poor timing - Cold Waygu meatballs - incomplete service I should say that this was my 2nd time dining here. The first was a mid week lunch. Both the food and overall service were good.

Fun space. Great staff. Decently priced food! The nachos are actually massive and could feed an army...beware

Great food and atmosphere. Isaiah was a great server. He was very helpful and very friendly.

Isaiah was an amazing server. He was very attentive and super friendly. He made sure we were well taken care of!

Food was pretty good drinks are not that expensive. Service was adequate and far from excellent, but the big selling point is the games and fun to be had at this place. Overall it is a great spot to watch any sporting event.

I dined at Sports & Social last Saturday with a group of friends celebrating their engagement. Shelby and Jennifer helped us with the engagement set up on the rooftop and they were fantastic. However, dining in the restaurant was a terrible experience. Our server was high and extremely rude so our table ordered food from the bar with Jennifer and were told Isaiah, the bartender, would be our server. When our food came and we asked Abby for utensils and napkins, she said "I'm not your server, you need ask Isaiah." After eating, we asked another bartender for to go boxes and were told "you're not supposed to order or eat at the bar so you'll have to wait" while we watched everyone at the second floor bar eat at the bar. The manager was the person who placed our order at the bar initially so we were utterly confused. Our food was given away to another party then remade and still came out cold. The wait staff is extremely rude and needs better customer service training. The service we received was absolutely awful and unacceptable.

I was lucky to have scored an invite to the soft opening, and it did NOT disappoint. This facility is amazing! It's has several bars upstairs and downstairs, and gigantic screens and TVs. This is a perfect place to watch a game, go line dancing, or out for a girls night with good people watching. Sports & Social is located in Fenton, so just be mindful that parking kind of sucks. I like that there are games downstairs for kids, but also an outdoor patio. The food is good, and it gets crowded, so I'd highly recommend making a reservation before you go.

Amazing food! The pretzel is the size of your head! We ordered three not realizing the size.

On travel and decided to go in for some March Madness. Plenty of space and multiple rooms. The Tvs located throughout the venue ensures you never miss a game. We sat immediately and the service was extremely fast. Expected to get some quick bar food, but that was not the case. Everything we ate was delicious. The Birra egg rolls are a must try. Thee rooftop was closed but looks like you can have space for a dj. Great place to lounge and get some great food.

The food was really really good, I got the tenders and it was more than enough. Service was a little slow, but there was only one guy working, and he was definitely doing a good job. The environment is nice as always very quiet downstairs.

Great sports bar with the best atmosphere. Where sports bar meet classy bar for family and friends. Food and drink choices are top tier for the enthusiast of taste buds. TVs galore from every angle. This place does not disappoint. Clean bathrooms. One bathroom stall didn't have a latch so us girls improvised and held the door or just chanced it, by now you've seen them all! Started off shakey. We arrived with a party of four, and expected two more. We were seated with our four with room for two at the upstairs of this spot. Beautiful place plenty of seating, televisions and melting pot of people. As we are sitting and enjoying, our server John, food and drinks around 3ish, we we were told a private party for a banquet was coming around four. We didn't have to leave, but needed to close the tab. He told us we could possible get a table downstairs. One person from our party went to secure a table. At this time we are six deep and we go downstairs we sit for maybe 20 minutes then the new server comes and says this area is closed at four for a private party. Its the holidays so yeah! At this point we are disappointed and with all the shuffling was told we may can find a table. The main hostess came and told us the area will be closed off at four for a party blah blah, she was pleasant, but not trying to help and you could tell she didn't care. Our second server found us an area for four, but an extra table was added that accommadated. We met server three and he was nice and served us for about an hour and he was off work! Let's get to the good parts, plenty of tvs, an engagaging dj, great music, good food and drinks. Atmosphere was amazing best sports bar ever! Also the manager did make up for the shifts and gave us an order of their delicious loaded nachos and a order of their wings. Well worth the trouble! Definitely recommend and I cannot wait to come back!

I've been here on other occasions and never received less than 4-star experiences. Perhaps this is a one-off. I do understand one person does not represent the entire business. Tinsel Tavern review: I made the reservation for two online for the Tinsel Tavern experience. The two individuals at the host station were pleasant and welcoming. We arrived early and the staff said we could sit at the bar until a table was ready. The host never checked in and let us know about the table. The decor was giving holiday vibes for the popup. The decor could use more creativity. I look forward to seeing improvements in the coming years. I know S&S is new to the Cary area. For the underwhelming experience I received from the bartender (Drew) the $5 reservation fee should have been deducted from my tab. Drew seemed unattached and lacked friendliness whenever he spoke to and served me and a friend. I'm not sure what this was about. I noticed Drew was chummy with other people. This was a very uncomfortable experience in how we were handled. While we sat right at the bar Drew never checked in or asked how the dip was or if we wanted another drink. The cocktail I ordered was delicious. The Buffalo chicken dip tasted horrible. It tasted like the kitchen was trying to stretch the dip and water it down. Buffalo chicken dip is something very hard to mess up and whoever prepared this did a great job messing it up. I wanted to enjoy this. Hopefully, there will be better experiences on my next visit. I will be returning to see if things improve. S&S is too close to my home to not visit again.

The atmosphere is good. Fun if you're going with a big group. The food was average and drinks weren't great. I still enjoyed my time but would only come back if I was with a large group. The hostess and waiter were amazing, also!

I can't say I had a bad experience but I can say I was turned off from the moment we entered the location. Visiting from out of town we looked for a place to watch some NFL on a Sunday afternoon. When we figured out how to get into the place we were left standing at the " reception desk" for quite a while. Not that the desk was unoccupied but the two young ladies at the desk refused to acknowledge our presence. We were "kindly" asked " what do you want" I said we wanted to watch the game and get some food. We were then told with attitude that there was an hour and a half wait but the bar was first come first serve. I asked if there were empty seats at the bar ( couldn't really see from where we were standing ) the reply was first come first serve. I said that doesn't really answer my question, but by then she was back to chit chatting with her coworker and I was once again invisible. Needless to say we left and I would assume never to return.

It's ridiculous that I paid a cover charge for the UFC fight and I'm listening to the WNBA. Don't charge people for a cover fee when they have the WNBA going on for everybody to listen to. Bullshit charges!! #WTF

Went at afternoon so not busy but the servers were very slow. Table next to us said the same thing. Food was mediocre and took a long time to arrive. Not worth the money.

Had a surprise 40th birthday for my fiancé here. The experience was amazing from start to finish. Their event coordinator, Jennifer, was extremely attentive and very quick to respond. Beautiful event space, the food was delicious, staff was amazing! Huge shout out to Jaxx, our event manager. I would highly recommend Sports & Social Cary for parties, gatherings, etc.

I came for the NC State vs Duke Elite 8 game and found a seat upstairs, at one of the many bars. The screens are great quality, especially the main one that's about 3 stories high. I like that they have sections for beer pong, skeeball, and other games. Very clean and classy. Obviously the staff was busy, but the bartender did not provide me with a menu or drink list. They only had about 8 beers on draft, and half were your standard Millers (Liete and High Life) Coors and Buds. I had one beer and was never asked if I wanted another one. So the staff could have been more attentive, but I'm not going to swear them off because I was there on as busy a day as they may ever have, aside from the Super Bowl.

They would not give us a table for 4 and wouldn't serve us food workers we're not kind aswell

Man, the food was not good. Server looked at us crazy when I told them the meat wasn't cooked well. And they had a DJ playing love making music every song during the day while families were there eating lunch. This visit was more annoying than enjoyable. Probably not coming back to this place I'd rather go to Buffalo Wild Wings.

Bartenders are so social and funny. Love this place. Great selection of drinks. Good service. Ate here 3 times this year.

Finally had the opportunity to check out S & S and it lived up to the hype. I was entertaining company during the ACC Championship weekend and we arrived in full force on a wet Saturday. It is located in the ballyhooed, Fenton Cary. Parking is convenient in a nearby garage and they have indoor and outdoor seating. Upon entering, I quickly noticed 2 things: 1) Its enormity (2 floors) 2) subpar Healthscore=92. We were seated after a brief wait and settled in our circular booth directly in front of the BIGGEST Big screen tv. It was streaming the Canes and it felt like we were at the PNC. Our party of 5 hungry alphas was adroitly served by the waitstaff. We ordered Nachos and the BIGGEST hanging pretzel I have ever seen. Both were delicious and destroyed in short order. I ordered a Burger and fries and they hit the spot. The atmosphere was jubilant and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. GO BIG OR GO HOME! PS-NC STATE ACC CHAMPIONS!#HOWLBACK#GTHC#SUMMARILYDISPATCHED

Visited on a Thursday night with my family of 6. Great location in the beautiful Fenton Village. Really cool space with ginormous screens to watch the games. They have a few games, such as Skee Ball. The customer service is average. The food is average. Prices aren't bad. You're paying for the experience of the location. Good meal. We'll be back.

Isaiah is the absolute best!!!! Mimosa fest is awesome. Best mimosas and bartender!!

The sanitation score says it all. The food here is either too salty or very bland...there is no in between.

Food was good. Awesome tv. Brooklyn was a great server, she was nice and updated on food and got everything out fresh.

Recently had a chance to visit one of my favs again for all things sports. I was invited back after a recent experience where I felt that the food wasn't as good as it has been. I want to personally thank Shelby for going above and beyond to get me in on probably the busiest day of the year and making sure that I was taken care of. Between she and or server Clarence I couldn't have asked for a better time. Clarence made sure all our needs were met and kept coming back to ensure that we were ok. Even though it was probably the busiest day we never felt that service lacked. This was my second Super Bowl there and we had so much fun. I'll definitely be back next yr. The music, screens and games made for a perfect experience. Now on to the nachos... The Nachos have been redeemed ... OMG they were so good, I couldn't stop eating them. I also enjoyed the cauliflower wings so yummy... I've always recommended SAS for the total experience and I will continue to... Make sure you get the Nachos!!

Super disappointed in our experience here. We came in two hours prior to the start of the Love Island watch party and the hostess took our names down and said it would be about a 2 hour wait. No problem, that's why we got there early. Upon our arrival at 9, we were told they had no tables except a dirty one in the corner if we'd like that one. The hostess who took our name and number down was the same person who told us there were no tables. Won't be back!

Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else! This place has horrible service, dirty tables while you eat, long wait time, staff is rude ! Sticky floor for some odd reason! Very ghetto trashy place and for the price food is better at McDonald's !

We had a great time. Enjoyed the food, watching the large screen TV from.the second floor was top notch. Our waitress was also pleasant . We enjoyed the vibe and look forward to making this a date night for anytime we want to see a sports game.

Great spot to watch the game. It's also fun to go upstairs and ride the mechanical bull or line dance.
