White Owl Social Club

"One of the livelier spots in the crowded inner east side bar scene, White Owl Social Club customizes its large patio — uncovered in the precious sunny months, covered with a fire pit in the rainy season — making it a welcoming spot all year long. After a series of pop-ups, White Owl’s kitchen is now in the hands of the Chém Gió team full time, offering Vietnamese drinking food. White Owl hosts DJs for both free sets and more prominent ones with cover charges — plan ahead for weekend nights by checking the bar’s Instagram account." - Nathan Williams, Eater Staff

"The “jawn” at this pop-up residency within a Southeast Belmont bar may be one of the most inventive sandwiches you’ll find after midnight on a Friday. A cross-section of Philadelphia and Puerto Rico, the sandwich starts with a house-made sesame seed hoagie roll, followed by a bed of 20-hour roasted pernil. Then comes the broccoli rabe — a play on Philly’s lesser-known classic, the roast pork and broccoli rabe sandwich — as well as some melty provolone, sofrito mayo, and cilantro. It’s hearty and delicious, especially when paired with a pile of tostones and salsa criolla. It’s available until 1:30 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays." - Thom Hilton

"An Instagram post from bar and music venue White Owl Social Club about its new vaccine requirements for customers received many positive replies, but also a number of negative ones." - Alex Frane

"A sprawling patio with plenty of seating and a fire pit makes White Owl Social Club a favorite among dogs and humans alike — there’s even a special canine entrance to the patio. The bar is known for its friendly heavy metal vibe, strong drinks, and vegan and gluten-free options like the hazelnut beet burger." - Michelle DeVona, Brooke Jackson-Glidden
