History
Social Hour is the inspiration of Karen and Eric Baymiller, a fun-loving couple with a passion for entertaining. After relocating to Carmel from the Bay Area in 2020, these energetic empty-nesters are embarking on a new adventure with the opening of a unique cocktail-focused retail store in California's iconic beachtown, Carmel-by-the-Sea. Avid travelers, Karen and Eric have sought out local treasures and experiences everywhere they've gone. They envision Social Hour as a can't-miss stop on anyone's checklist -- a place to discover unique products and experiences around the ritual of sharing cocktails and gathering together.
Specialties
With all the essential tools and inspiration to help shake up any gathering, Social Hour's offerings span glassware, bar tools and accessories, serving pieces, cocktail ingredients, and spirit-free provisions. Social Hour is an experience for both locals and travelers...a place to find artisan-made products, a new favorite cocktail syrup or shrub, that essential bar tool, the perfect gift.
