When You Will Drink Wine and Eat California Fare at Social Bistro & Wine Bar

Social Bistro & Wine Bar now has an opening date at Tivoli Village. The family-style and California-inspired restaurant taking over the former Pizza Lounge space pencils in a Thursday, April 16, debut.

Preferred Restaurant Brands is behind this project and originally partnered with Michelin-starred chef Alex Stratta to create Tapas by Alex Stratta inside this space. In January, the two parted ways amicably, citing differences of vision.

Stratta plans to debut his tapas restaurant in the former Poppy Den space in Tivoli Village on Wednesday, April 8.

Social Bistro's quick changeover was helped by the Stratta-era work on the 2,700-square-foot footprint and Pizza Lounge previously investing "more than $750,000 on tenant improvements and equipment."
