The Social - Tisch reservieren

The Social really lives up to its name. Carnival After Party listening to Ska, Rocksteady and the golden oldies from the 60’s. Great atmosphere and nice people. The Social opened in the summer of 1999. A two floor bar right at the heart of London evolved out of the legendary Heavenly Sunday Social club nights that ran in various venues between ’94 and ’99. Rather than act as a bricks and mortar extension of those nights, the Social quickly developed a reputation as a free-thinking, boundary pushing destination for open minded drinkers, keen listeners and late night thinkers. The Social is a stone’s throw from Oxford Circus. For the last two decades, it has been one of central London’s most loved getaways – somewhere between a modern day speakeasy and a home-from-home local. Originally designed by renowned architects David Adjaye and Will Russell and now being re-imagined two decades on by the original team that built it, the two floors offer their own unique takes on the perfect night out. Upstairs is an intimate, music-led wooden room while downstairs is a newly redesigned event space that’s just as likely to host frenetic live shows as literary events or packed out DJ gigs. Over the years, The Social has played host to everyone from the Chemical Brothers to Edna O’Brien, Wolf Alice to Adele, Horace Andy, Bon Iver, Young Fathers, Caitlin Moran, Four Tet, Kae Tempest, Cold War Steve, Jack White, Black Country New Road, Black Midi, Irvine Welsh, Jeremy Deller, Flying Lotus, Fat Boy Slim, Fat White Family, Laura Marling, Beck, the Avalanches, Andrew Weatherall, Michael Kiwanuka, Kevin Rowland, Super Furry Animals, the Charlatans, Aphex Twin and Lily Allen (to name a few). A 2019 campaign to Save The Social saw huge support from the public and bands, artists, promoters and DJs and eventually led to a new partnership with Venue Group. One of the last venues left in the West End, The Social remains – two decades in – one of the very best spaces to lose a night in the U.K. 2020 saw the beginning of the coronavius pandemic and the venue shut it’s doors in March. The venue quickly turned into an online magazine blog featuring friends, family and more writing for us as we all featuring daily afterwork drinks DJ sets through twitter and facebook.

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).

Another secret location in London that you don't know exists until you arrive. Drinks are a little pricey, but the atmosphere is friendly and going to see a performance is a great way to experience it.
