SYRACUSE — South Shore Social, 10601 N SR 13, Syracuse held a ribbon cutting ceremony Tuesday afternoon, July 2, to celebrate its opening. And now employees are gearing up to host a backyard barbecue, South Shore style, from 11 a.m. until the fireworks Saturday, July 6.
There will be pulled pork done in a huge smoker, more food, drinks and outdoor lawn games like cornhole, can jam and bocce and live music from teh Olsen Twins from 3-5 p.m.
Jeff Dyson, co-owner, said he wanted everyone to come to South Shore before heading to the fireworks on Lake Wawasee.
South Shore has had many reincarnations over the years, from a higher end restaurant to a beach themed place to the new South Shore Social. The new sports bar offers multi -sport simulators where customers can play golf and other games along with auto – scoring dart boards and an indoor shuffleboard, all geared towards bringing people together to hang out and socialize
Not in the mood to socialize, just want a quiet space for a drink? Need a quiet place for a meeting? The South Shore Social can accommodate that as well in the new martini and bourbon bar where higher end cocktails are served.
Along with drinks, there is also a new menu. Dyson described them as elevated shareables with most of the items made from scratch.
Dyson’s and co-owner Nathan Scherer’s vision for the entire property hinges on the South Shore Social facility being the hub that brings everything together.
“There are things to do in this building,” Dyson said. “What we want to provide is a space where people can come, interact and have fun.”
The fully remodeled building is a drastic change from the previous space. “We literally touched every wall,” Dyson said. “and the community had given us a lot of positive feedback on everything from food and drink to the new games.”
In order to use the golf and multi-sport simulators or the auto-scoring darts, patrons will need to reserve a bay in advance online at southshoresocial.net. Shuffleboard is free. Dyson noted a credit card is required to use both the simulators and the interactive darts. Only those 16 and older may play darts.
South Shore Social is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays; 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday, closed Monday and Tuesday.
