Great location in the heart of Frederick. Came here on a Sunday between lunch/dinner and had no problem getting a table for a large group. Love that it’s right on the creek too!
Overall, I was pretty underwhelmed. The food was just okay – pretty typical bar food and nothing spectacular. The kitchen was out of a lot of options when we ordered which made the menu more limited.
The tap wall is a cool concept and I really did enjoy the huge amount of different drink options they had! Each drink is on a touchscreen and provides a detailed description of the drink/flavor. However, it’s pricey. Would pour half a glass and was basically the price for a full beer elsewhere.
Service was okay. There are no real servers coming around. It’s all order yourself, get your own drinks, and clean up yourself.
The inside was nice. TVs showing football, kids area, and it was very clean. Outdoor patio as well.

The owners Audi and Mike are very friendly, welcoming and super nice . Involved in the place and open to feedbacks and suggestions.

They have a lot of great drinks options, some priced great and some overpriced. However the food is what I’d skip here. The tacos tasted great, however the “smash” burger was another story. I’m not sure how to describe it other than frozen meatloaf patties. It was not a true smash burger, and I’m not even sure if it was pure hamburger. They loaded it up with toppings and seasoning to try to cover up the horrible patty. Definitely skip the burger and just get drinks.

I really wanted to like this place. Great location, fun space, friendly staff…but the food is not good. The burgers taste like they were pre-made and reheated. Reminded me of elementary school cafeteria burger, gross. The “steak” in the rice bowl was like dog food. Nothing seemed fresh. The pretzel bites were dry and hard. I would never eat there again

My wife and I chose Frederick Social to host our pre-wedding social, and we were absolutely pleased with the food, drinks, service, and atmosphere.
The owners were very communicative, professional, and clear with every aspect of the event. They even made sure to actively host during our event by engaging with our family and friends, many of whom had never been to a place with their kind of drink set up. Would absolutely return for a bite and drinks

As a bartender of 6 years I have an eye for excellent service, and Mike sure blew me away. My fiancé and I came in for our first ever time and he was so helpful and intentional with his knowledge of beer. His hospitality made our stop a very memorable one. This place is worth your time for the beer selection and service alone.

We recently visited a fantastic restaurant that left a great first impression with its unique tap wall—a self-serve setup with an impressive variety of craft beers and ciders, perfect for trying new flavors at your own pace. It was our first time using a tap wall, and the novelty made the experience so fun and interactive! The outdoor seating was a major highlight, with a relaxed, pet-friendly vibe that welcomed furry friends. Situated right next to a scenic trail, it’s an ideal spot for a post-hike meal or a casual evening out. The food was solid, with fresh, flavorful options, and the staff were friendly and quick to help. Highly recommend for a laid-back, dog-friendly outing with a modern twist!

Cool place to sit and chill or hang out with friends. Many beers, wines and cocktails on tap and at the full service bar. Nice limited menu including limited weekend brunch menu. They also have items for kids to eat on the main menu as well as the brunch menu. There is a kids play area as well as longer chairs and table and chairs. You can sit indoors or outdoors during the warmer months. Here is how it works: Upon entering you give your credit card and ID if you want to drink. They scan both. If you are 21 or older they give you a card that you insert into a slot by the tap/s. Glasses are self serve and under each tap. You can touch the screen above the tap for additional information about that tap. You then pour a small or large glass. The ounce and dollar amount will show on the screen above the tap. If you want something from the bar to be made by the bartender just give your card to the bartender. In-between the taps and the bar is the area where you can order food. Again, everything goes on your card. When you are ready to leave, go back to the entrance cashier and give them your card/s to settle everything on your credit card. It’s really simple like 1,2,3. If you have any questions, everyone is super friendly and helpful. The place is clean and has signs telling you to clear your own table. Everything is well labeled where trash, trays and glasses go. The restroom is in the building hall outside of Frederick Social entrance. Restrooms are clean and fresh smelling. Inside and outside are also very clean. Parking is best at the Court Street deck. Cost for parking is $1.00/hour. The parking deck is located at the rear of the building that Frederick Social is in. Frederick Social faces Carroll Creek. Happy hour is Monday through Friday 4 PM to 6 PM:-)

Staff is very nice. You walk in and open up a tab, they give you a card and you can use it to purchase yourself wine or beer from the taps machine. They have about 50 taps! The food is reasonably priced, but took a while to come out, about 30 minutes for the eggs and kids Cheeseburger sliders. They send you a text when your food is ready and you go pick it up. I like the atmosphere, they open the garage doors when it’s nice weather out. They also have a small kids area. It’s a great place for drinks.

Had a wonderful evening with my service dog at Frederick Social today! Staff was super friendly and understanding of my need for a medical companion, they gave her a bowl of fresh water and asked if she could have treats. It’s a nice family place with self serve taps and very friendly staff. 10/10 will be coming back and recommending to others!
