Social

🥂 National Recognition. Right Here in Fort Collins.

We are beyond honored to share that Social has been named one of USA TODAY’s Bars of the Year 2026—recognized as one of just 38 outstanding bars across the United States and the only bar in Colorado to receive this incredible honor.

To be the sole representative of Colorado on this national list is a distinction we are deeply proud of. This achievement belongs to every guest who has joined us for a cocktail, every team member who has poured their passion into this bar, and this amazing Fort Collins community that has supported us for more than a decade.

As our General Manager, Morgan Reddick, so perfectly said:

“I’m so extremely proud of us, and I’m so humbled. Out of all the amazing places across the nation, it is such a humbling experience to be considered and recognized by so many for the excellence we strive to demonstrate every day.”

Our mission has always been simple: create unforgettable experiences through exceptional hospitality.

To our incredible team—this recognition is because of your dedication, creativity, and passion. To our guests—thank you for making Social what it is today. Your support has allowed a small underground speakeasy in Fort Collins to earn national recognition while proudly representing the entire state of Colorado.

Here’s to raising a glass with all of you. 🥃

Thank you, Fort Collins. Thank you, Colorado. And thank you, USA TODAY, for this incredible honor.

Today we’re celebrating Nathan Robertson’s 12th anniversary at Social.

From bartender, to General Manager, to now Bar Manager, Nathan has worn just about every hat in this speakeasy—and worn each one exceptionally well. A true master of his craft, Nathan brings unmatched passion, creativity, and hospitality to every shift, every cocktail, and every guest experience.

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of being served by Nathan, you’ve felt it—that attention to detail, that love for the craft, and the genuine care he brings to every interaction.

As if that wasn’t enough, Nathan is also putting the finishing touches on Social’s first published cocktail book, arriving later this year—a project that reflects the artistry and innovation he’s helped build.

Next time you find your way downstairs, be sure to raise a glass and congratulate him.

We’re lucky to have you, Nathan. We love you. 🖤
