Iowa City's Craft Café & Bar
From single-origin pour-overs to house-made bitters, every pour at 404 Social is deliberate — because the details are what separate a place you visit from a place you come back to.
Our Story
404 Social opened its doors on East College Street with one standard — every drink, every pour, every interaction should reflect a genuine respect for craft. We source our coffee from roasters who treat each batch like a deadline, and our bar program is built around ingredients we can trace back to their origin.
Whether you're grabbing an espresso between classes, hosting a team meeting in the afternoon, or settling in with a cocktail after dark, the standard doesn't change: we take what we do seriously so you don't have to think about it.

The Space
We built 404 Social to be useful — a place that works as hard as you do during the day and opens up into something more relaxed by evening. High counters for laptop work, low tables for conversation, a bar that draws people in after dark.
The material palette is intentional: warm wood, matte black metal, terracotta tile. Nothing decorative for decoration's sake — every surface earns its place in the room.
