In May of 2021, Vocation Brewery launched a pub in a shared kitchen and dining area called Society. Pitcher and Piano used to be there, but the building had been empty for the previous decade. The entrance to the Vocation bar is directly beneath the main door to an office building. There are five vendors selling street food available. On the bar, you'll find four hand pumps and a row of keg taps with 30 more behind the bar. Vocation's food hall seats up to 350 people across its largely long tables and some outside tables in nicer weather; you may place beer and food orders via the app or at the bar. Beginning at 12pm, you can eat in the food court.
