Great place to grab a bite in a Big Bear! It was really cold so we opted to sit indoors but there are heated lamps and a fireplace outdoor. The service was quick and friendly. The Mac and cheese was delicious and the wings were crispy and fried but not greasy! The burger was simple and delicious. It is a little pricey though at least for the quality of food.

Everything was great—the food hit the spot and the drinks were super yummy. But honestly, the service was the real standout. So good, it almost outshined everything else. Friendly, attentive, and just made the whole experience that much better. Definitely coming back!

Loved this place! The atmosphere was super chill and comfortable, and the owner was honestly one of the nicest people. He came over to our table just to say hi and even brought us a free drink, which totally made our day! Definitely plan to stop by here if you are visiting Big Bear Lake!

Food and atmosphere was great! We loved the dog friendly outdoor patio - it was so cute! We ordered the food at the indoor bar, got given a number and sat outside. But strangely throughout our meal servers kept coming by to ask if we had anything else we needed or if we wanted to order more food and drinks - it happened 4 times. It was nice but it was confusing because we had gone in multiple times to order more so it wasn’t clear what the protocol was.

Excellent food! The owner Carlos was so gracious and hospitable. We had the wings, which needed no sauce and they were very delicious and even had a little kick to them. The pizza was OUTSTANDING!!. The atmosphere was amazing and we were entertained by Amber and Smoke. Fantastic singing. I don't come to Big Bear often...but I highly recommend 672 Social kitchen & lounge.

We walked in on a hot summer afternoon and found great seating right away on their huge outdoor patio. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy the day. Bonus points—they’re super dog friendly! The staff absolutely loved our half Bulldog, half Husky, Hugo, and treated him like a VIP. My lady went with the mussels and was beyond satisfied. I went with the bacon burger and fries—hit the spot and couldn’t have been happier. What really stood out though was the service. Every single staff member was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Can’t recommend this place enough if you’re in Big Bear!

Really great. Really fun place in the heart of big bear. Outdoor seating indoor seating lots of staff, constantly helping out and delivering stuff and cleaning up great seating areas outdoors. Great environment live music on the weekends. Great food, great cocktails. Everything was A++, right in the middle of all the great little shops and the ice cream shop. Everything is right there. Plenty of parking close
