The Social Lounge at Crystal Ridge Distillery
Where Good Spirits Meet Good Company
Some visits call for more than a tasting. They call for settling in, ordering another round, and staying a little longer than you planned.
The Social Lounge at Crystal Ridge Distillery is exactly that kind of place. A relaxed, welcoming space at 455 Broadway where the drinks are always the main event — and the food is there to make the evening last a little longer.
Pull up a seat. Pour something good. You're in no hurry.
The Drinks
This is a distillery first and foremost — and the Social Lounge keeps it that way.
Everything we make is available by the glass, by the tasting flight, or by the can. Our Moonshine Experts are on hand to walk you through the full lineup — from our 14 moonshine flavors to Arkansas Vodka distilled 10 times to the full selection of The Pack RTD vodka cocktails.
Not sure where to start? Our $10 tasting includes guided samples of our moonshine, Arkansas Vodka, and The Pack. It's the best first step for first-timers and a great way for regulars to revisit old favorites or discover something new.
The Food
Every great drink deserves something worth eating alongside it.
The Social Spread — our in-house kitchen — serves handcrafted pizzas, jumbo wings, and crafted starters made fresh to order. Arkansas-inspired, Crystal Ridge approved, and built specifically to pair with what's in your glass.
Handcrafted Pizzas — 12" pizzas available in hand tossed, thin crust, or cauliflower (+$3). Choose from eight Arkansas-named pies or build your own starting with The Moonshiner.
Crafted Starters — The Holler Fries and Back in the Stix. The kind of starters that pair perfectly with a round of tastings.
Still House Wings — Bone-in jumbo wings in your choice of Arkansas Dry Rub, Buffalo, Hot Honey, or Maple Bacon BBQ. 6pc. for $12 or 12pc. for $20.
Full menu available in the lounge and on our website.
Please note: The Social Spread is a dine-in experience. To-go orders are not available at this time.
Pair It Right
Every item on our menu was built with one thing in mind — the drink in your other hand.
The Holler Fries alongside a Mule Kick shot. The Bootlegger pizza with a cold can of The Pack. Fire in the Still with a Cinnamon Moonshine tasting. The combinations write themselves.
The food is here to complement the experience. The spirits are the reason you came.
The Setting
You already know the building — the F.C. Stearns Warehouse, hand-built between 1910 and 1920, exposed brick walls, original fire doors, and over a century of Hot Springs history in every beam.
The Social Lounge lives inside that history. Warm, unhurried, and unlike anything else on Broadway. The kind of place that feels like a discovery the first time and a second home every time after.
