What is better than drinking a refreshing cocktail on a rooftop? Eating finely-crafted cuisine with a refreshing cocktail on a rooftop, of course! For a wonderful elevated (literally) dining experience in metro Detroit, Social Kitchen & Bar in Birmingham is a top contender.

Our latest food adventure found us exploring Social Kitchen & Bar’s food and drink menu on a pleasant June evening. To our delight, the libations and culinary creations did not disappoint. In addition to enjoying a few bright and refreshing cocktails — the Slice of Life and Vlad-a-Mule are real winners —  we sampled winning dishes like hearty Gemelli Pasta and a craveable Grilled Cheese.

The highlight of our rooftop dining experience was the Salmon entrée. The crispy crust on the fish was seasoned to salivating perfection, while the filet melted in our mouths. The accompanying braised lentils, crispy kale, and mustard vinaigrette had us scrounging the plate for leftovers.

Social Kitchen & Bar is located at 225 E Maple Rd, Birmingham, MI 48009.
