The Hampton Social
The Hampton Social features some of my absolute favorite girl’s night out treats. The Hampton social is in the River North neighborhood of Chicago. Rosé all day is an understatement. The Hampton Social transports you to the east coast with their delicious sea food and cozy beach atmosphere. The nautical beach themed décor makes The Hampton Social pretty dang aesthetically pleasing. The waiters even dress in nautical stripes and wear Sperry topsiders.
Grabbing drinks with friends or eating dinner is essential! Rosé is the only drink that matters at The Hampton Social. In the restaurant, there are different themed sections. My personal favorite place to dine in at is the “Rosé all day” room. The Hampton Social is known for their iconic rosy pink “Rosé all day” neon sign. This room is full of white and copper accents and some very cute dainty string lights. If you don’t Instagram a photo of your frosé in front of this sign, did you really even go to The Hampton Social? This photo will be the perfect addition to your summer Instagram feed, I promise!
You can opt for a glass of rosé of the day or indulge in the ridiculously trendy frosé at The Hampton Social. Frosé is a boozy wine -based slushy that is both refreshing and delightful. At The Hampton Social, the frosé is pure deliciousness. The rim of the glass is coated in sugar, the frosé is infused with peaches and you get a cute little mint leaf in your drink! 10/10 would recommend trying the frosé!
I will also recommend the “The Surf Lodge” which comes in a big beautiful copper pineapple tumbler. This instagrammable cocktail contains cucumber-infused Absolut elyx vodka, pineapple, lime, sparkling wine and surprisingly jalapeno juice! I personally am not a spicy food or drink lover, so if you are like me just ask the bartender to nix the jalapeno juice. You can definitely share this drink with a buddy, it’s pretty big!
The dinner menu is absolutely huge, from burgers and fried chicken to crab cakes and oysters. They have entrees from the land and the sea. The brick oven pizza surely won’t disappoint. I am biased to the margherita pizza but friends of mine swear that the spicy BBQ chicken pizza is delicious choice too. Don’t forget to try the Maryland jumbo lump crab cakes. You should definitely order these two huge crab cakes as your starter.
My favorite dish is the steak frites. You get a great cut of marinated hanger steak that is drenched in a red wine herb butter sauce. I clear my plate every single time I order this dish. The steak cuts so smoothly and it truly tastes like a little slice of heaven. Did I forget to mention you get a bed shoe-string fries under your steak? Shoestring fries are quite possibly my favorite french-fries.
If you are not hungry for a bite then head on over to the bar and grab a cocktail. The Hampton Social often features live music throughout the week. I truly enjoy live acoustic music. The bands and singers that perform cover a wide variety of artists like Kanye West and Whitney Houston.
Don’t forget to make a reservation before going to The Hampton Social. It can get very busy! This restaurant takes you away from the city life and brings you straight to the seashore. If you feel like treating yourself or grabbing some gorgeous cocktails, The Hampton Social is the place for you!
