One of the coolest bars I’ve ever been to. Open til 1am with a basement club. DJs playing non commercial music and bar tenders with personality and flair. Quirky, friendly crowd. Such a good vibe

We went to see the Gabriel's yesterday and this was our first visit to The Social. We had a friend who had an op on her back and has trouble standing for long periods and Graham was beyond amazing and got us a brilliant table and just went above beyond to make us comfortable **THANK YOU AGAIN**. The night was fantastic thanks to the table and seating. The bar upstairs is cracking with cool tunes and nice burgers/cocktails. I would 110% go back the team were really nice and the venue was perfect for live music or just a beer after work. Hope to go back very soon 👌if I could give more than 5 stars ⭐️ I would.

Nice intimate-sized music venue and bar. I liked the style of the upstairs (ground level) bar, sort of cross between American diner and 70s chic. The performance area downstairs is small (I'd guess the capacity is around 60 to 70) but that means you're really close to the performers, making it a really good vibe.

This is without doubt my favourite pub/bar/club in London. Brilliant vibe, real soulful lovely folks who work there that by no coincidence makes for a great crowd. Less like walking into London club, more like stepping into a cool party. Ever opened by Heavenly Records, that ethos of championing an eclectic mix of great music is ever prevalent -from both the best of new to long forgotten classics. Accordingly they often put on a great variation of club nights, performances, quality DJs and top notch live acts. This place has converted many a night into a real blinder on too many occasions to remember (been enjoying The Social for almost 20 years -and just keep on coming back).

In a world where the corporate has ridden roughshod over the individual and the unique, this is an outpost for all that is good about independence. Whether you are looking for a music venue, spoken word venue, club or just an excellent bar - this contains it all. Long may it last charting its own unique course.

Great bijou live music venue with a good bar. Refreshing after the march of the mega venues. All the excitement and intimacy of discovering new music

hey, went to see man/woman/chainsaw they were INCREDIBLE but the bouncers…?!?! soooo rude they were swearing at people and that was not cool telling us to be quiet when they’re the loud ones?? not cool. Think he’s called Lawrence??? He pushed my friend who is A LOT smaller than him then said it was necessary when my friend was stood speaking to him calmly. Pls sort this out

Boiling Hot bartenders (funny as well) great outfits and cool music taste ESPECIALLY Lily and Mitch they were the most sexy (small mention for Harry Sid and Arnie)

I would give it 4 and 1/2 stars. Lovely place, very intimate. They could do a better variety of lagers though.

Saw a gig at the social. What a brilliant bar, staff are friendly, accommodating and make an amazing margarita! Situation near Oxford Street, this place is an ideal spot for people who love music and socialising! Atmosphere is amazing, highly recommend.

Could be a brilliant bar, but bouncers was a complete idiot, even telling us to “f*** off” nice! Bartenders also joined in. This was due to us arguing we had a 15 minute drinking up time at close time (Scottish law to be fair but still, most good bars respect it). Weird flex by a really cool bar for people who were sat just having a good time. Be better.

LOVE the Social. Great staff, great sound, central location, even had security with a sense of humour last week which is worth a star on its own. Brilliant

It was our dream to visit the social and we finally got to do so. Super nice decor and they have merch. A must for any music lover!

The worst dj on new year ? Plays soft house only not even aware of its 00:00 on new year .. waste of money and party

Great venue, amazing atmosphere for a very intimate show featuring Isaac Gracie. I will return 🤟

Small, hidden bar serving cocktails. We were looking for a bar around Oxford street and came across this place. It had a nice vibe with a dj playing music. Great place to go that’s a bit less busy than everywhere else.

A rare one in Central London, fantastic and good sounding venue. Lovely wooden bar upstairs.

Brilliant venue, staff very friendly, good selection of drinks (makes a change), promotor but together a cracking night.

Attended a concert by Stephstrings here. It's a very small space. Good for an intimate concert but too small. You will most likely be standing the whole time
