About the Business

A bar with mediocre cocktails is not a good bar. Over spiced margarita, washed out whisky sour, no tomato juice for a Bloody Mary and no olives for a dirty martini. A bar for a beer I guess. You have to shout at the person next to you to have a conversation because the music is too loud.

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

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.

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

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.

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
