Review:
The Box Social was opened in fall of 2011 by Sapphire Hotel proprietor Shannon McQuilkin and has become one of the city’s favorite date night spots, offering high-quality inventive cocktails in an intimate, laid-back environment. The candlelit bar is open seven days a week and features decor elements such as a custom-built mahogany bar by Axium Custom Designs and a mural of the city’s downtown created by Portland artist Maria Joan Dixon. Classic and modern cocktails are inspired by bar manager Michael Rowe’s international travels, featuring unique ingredients such as habanero ginger honey, burnt orange peels, and drinking vinegars. A small but well-curated beer and wine list highlights local microbrewery and winery favorites, and a creative bar bites menu offers selections such as black pepper parmesan popcorn and spinach mousse sandwiches.
