Social 45 Sports Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Leyden Township

A friend and I visited this establishment on Friday, July 12th around 7:00pm. We had been talking about visiting for a while now and finally got around to it, so we were looking forward to seeing what they had to offer.

Unfortunately, when we got to the restaurant, it seemed a little weird. When you walk in, you'd expect to be greeted by someone to let you know where to sit. That was not the case here. The tables by the entrance were abandoned and the "front" of the restaurant looked completely abandoned. My friend and I had to look around and walk towards the back (which wasn't obvious).

Once we got to the back, we were greeted by a very nice gentleman that took our drink orders and food orders. I ordered the chicken Parmigiana pasta. While waiting for the order, my friend and I realized (fairly quickly) that the A/C probably wasn't working properly as it was hotter inside were we sat than outside. I wish I could say that was the end of our trouble (or so I thought).

Food was fairly decent and the gentleman that tended to us (who was the only one working besides the cook that night) gave us a discount due to being first-timers there. Very cool. 4 stars automatically.

Then that night, I began getting a huge stomachache, followed by the worst diarrhea. Automatically I knew, the pasta had gotten me sick.

Whatever it was, I knew right away that I could no longer dine there again. I am so sad because I was looking forward to leaving a great review and coming back, but sadly, I will not be returning, nor recommending this place to anyone. The 2 stars goes to the person that served us, since he was super friendly and quick to...

We have been here two consecutive Sundays to watch the Bears games, and it has been nearly empty. There is plenty of space with the open-air area with garage-door style panels for opened or closed capabilities depending on the weather. The food is satisfying and cooked to order. The nacho chips are made fresh and paired with the equally fresh salsa verde. It is family friendly and the staff is chill, yet attentive. The buffalo wings are worth coming back for, and the burgers were tasty and not from frozen. This is a hidden gem. I'm surprised that it's not packed during the...

Great place. Everything was spot on.

Good food. Awesome space. Excellent service. Free parking.

The pizza and Cajun chicken sandwich were delicious and the fries were fresh and crisp.

The bar area is really big and there are many TVs for watching sports. I was there to watch a soccer game, but they also had football and UFC...
