Rye River Social was just a few days into its soft opening when the dine-in shutdown began, but rode out the pandemic and reopened in June.

Taking over the former home of Sammy’s on 5th, Rye River Social offers options from morning till night. The coffee bar serves up coffee and espresso drinks in the morning hours. In the afternoon, it’s time for happy hour and dinner with a menu featuring a modern twist on classic American dishes, with everything from gourmet burgers locally sourced from Butcher & Grocer, to homemade pasta, flank steak, and a variety of vegetarian dishes.

As the name implies, the bar program is heavily focused on American Whiskey, but also dabbles in cocktails, wine and beer.

“We want to offer a space from hustle hour to happy hour,” says Lauren Guzior with Rye River Social. “You can have your morning coffee with us and work from our private loft area upstairs and hang out until happy hour for a relaxing cocktail to help unwind. “
