The Social

Awesome place to see live music with a great friendly staff and reasonably priced! Plus my 13 year old daughter was a loved in to see the tribute to the Smiths!

Watched Ryan Caraveo perform at The Social on April 9th. This place was the perfect vibe. The music and acoustics sound perfect, and the way the stage is setup allows you to be right there with the artist, which makes the experience that much more amazing! I will definitely go back to enjoy future concerts. My only grip is that the drinks are wayyyyyy overpriced. Two drinks cost us over $50.00, and we didnt even order anything fancy, just the house rum with coke and a gin and club soda. (Both were singles) Other than that, that it was great experience! Definitely recommend

**EDIT** thank you John (the owner) for reaching out and connecting. I did really appreciate that you listened to what happened and took it as seriously as you did.Incredibly irresponsible bar. Went there with friends last night and wanted to get some water before we continued drinking. Not only was the bartender rude and dismissive, but she flat out refused to get us water and then the rest of them proceeded to ignore us. I get they want to make money, but refusing anyone water, especially in this heat and when theyre out drinking, is so irresponsible. The disregard for their customers safety and their focus on what may bring them more tips over anything else is why Ill never return.

Cali and Angelica at the bar were incredibly friendly! They had a warm demeanor and genuine smiles while being attentive and engaging. They set a high standard for music venues. Their commitment to their craft and the business was evident in every interaction.Venue was extremely intimate. Highly recommended!

The staff was very sweet and the atmosphere was great but over all the venue is pretty small, especially for the concert I went for which had around 400 people attending. People standing so close that you barely had elbow room wasnt great. From what I could see, there wasnt a lot of seating either, no bar stools, just a few 4-person tables.

Nice little chill spot. Good vibes, drinks are reasonably priced. They have bucket drinks too! Bathrooms are clean. Definitely beautiful women on Fri and Sat nights.

What an amazing intimate venue for live music. I’ve hardly seen such a great place to catch a show. Even being behind the rail in the upper floor feels like your right with the band. We came from Hawaii and noticed that Touché Amore was playing while we were in town. My daughter and I had such a great time. The venue is clean, staff is friendly, and the whole experience was amazing!

This is the best venue Ive ever been too. It is relatively small, giving you a very intimate experience with the bands. If your favorite artist comes to The Social you MUST go see them here. These are some pictures of the Mdou Moctar show I attended.

Ive always been recommended to come here for a drink, but never gave it a shot. It was my boos birthday and everyone in our party had just found out Ive never been inside The Social/Beacham - so this was the spot to hit up. We walked in after 10pm on a Saturday night and the music was blasting (in a good way). The a/c was also blowing which is a plus. The bars downtown are always warm.Saturdays are of course, busy. As we were fighting our way to the bar and finally had space to squeeze us in, we were immediately taken care of by our bartender, Cali. She was friendly, patient, and knew everything and anything about the bar. We ended up just grabbing beers to-go and shots. Prices are affordable.Just want to give her a shout out for not making us wait long. She also chilled our tequila shots without us even asking! Now thats A-1 service. Im only going to The Social if shes working. I wish they had day hours too, but they only open early for their shows. Thank you, Cali for a great night!

Stay away from this nightclub if you don’t want to get pickpocketed. The very first night I visited this place my phone was pickpocketed as I was walking through a very crowded floor so it was impossible to tell who or when it happened. What’s worse is that I was not the only one this happened to, there were at least a dozen other girls who also had their phones/other belongings pickpocketed. The employee and staff were made very aware of this situation and did nothing to help us or resolve the issue. I had so many things that I lost on that phone, not to mention the fact that my ID and debit card was stolen with it so I had to file a police report and everything. Never ever going back to this place ever again. BEWARE!!!

Saw Arrows in Action live here. It is an amazing venue for small bands. Drinks were good, too.

Better venue second time around and they had much better staff this time around. Still a little cramped lol but youll have a great view no matter where you are in the venue.

I think this is the best venue to have an intimate show. It allows for the artist to make a connection with the audience and its regulated in such a way that you dont feel like a sardine.

No Reentry is the worst! But this venue does bring in some phenomenal bands. Somehow, this is the spot in Orlando for shows cuz it seems like everyone has or will play here. Sound man wasnt the best, but the air is much better in sucha tight venue with smoking being outside only. Oh & bartender have us damn good pours. So, clearly theyve given us reason to break our 5year theSocial-strike. Always memories to be made here!

Brought my Daughters to see Joywave. For one of them it was her first concert. The venue is so intimate shes going to be spoiled for life. It was an amazing experience. Kudos to The Social for doing live music right!

Great way to get an early start to the weekend. Good drinks and live entertainment. Tonight featured a really good local band, The Button Down Collective. They play a wide variety of music.

Awesome venue....saw Fly by Midnight last night! Very intimate. No tables or chairs though...standing only. Would return.

Overall chill place… could’ve been better with the drink service but it was good. I’d come back again.

Have only been here for one show, just recently—Magic City Hippies 12/30. Intimate show. Drinks were only $4 each, spacious enough to get to the front, bathrooms, or bar when needed, even once the place was filling up. Cold inside even while it was pretty packed. Kind workers. Downtown parking sucks, but that’s not the venue’s fault so all in all, great venue in my opinion.

Good concert venue, gets really loud and when shows are sold out it can be hard to move. You cant get much closer to a band though. Drink prices are reasonable and Ive never had a bad time there.

Great place for a concert! Amazing atmosphere, small hole-in-the-wall feel. Loved it.

Great atmosphere and drink specials ($3.50 calls and beer). The venue is small (200?) but youre up close and personal with the bands. We saw the FIXX there last night and it was fantastic.

First time visit for a comedy show. Staff did a great job with the crowd. The show was fabulous of course! Thanks to The Social for hosting this super special day of the year for all of us to get together and have a night of fun!

This place was small and very nice. My son actually got to meet his favorite singer and he also got an autograph .

Intimate club with a great vibe, bar & staff! You are right there with the band! I saw the Afghan Whigs here & it was amazing!

This venue does no accommodate for deaf and disabled folks of the like. They refuse to have the decency to reply to people who reach out multiple times over more than a month who are asking for accommodations that they are legally supposed to adhere to. Very sad to see that they do not care for patrons especially ones had been attending for a while. Disabled people have the right to attend concerts and have fun like anybody else, failure to provide accommodations or even a simple response is ableist.

I would describe The Social’s layout as being folded hotdog style rather hamburger style, which is an odd layout for concerts. The pit laying a few steps lower than the floor provides a good area for people who want to mosh and jump that keeps them separated from people who don’t want to dance/want to order at the bar. In the pit, my only concern is that someone could be thrown into the pit walls or the rails of the staircase. The bathrooms are located down a long hall but they are clean! Overall, the layout is weird but it doesn’t stop this place from being a decent venue for small bands.

Performers and enjoyers of the arts beware! This venue is ABLEIST and does not accommodate the needs of their deaf venue goers per ADA regulations. 0/10 would not recommend.

Awesome venue for live music. Bartenders were friendly, the space is very intimate, and lighting was awesome.

Great atmosphere and lovely mixture of people dancing to Latin melodies. Got to Go to the bartender in the back of the club if you want your drinks faster. Wink 😉

WORST bartender ever. Music is good, but this bartender did NOT want to serve us despite us trying to order our FIRST drink of the night. She said she couldn’t serve us and for us to ask someone else at the bar with no reason. She was very disrespectful and rude to us

Nice club to see a show

As a lifelong Orlando resident, I have seen several shows at this venue and I am incredibly disappointed to hear about their complete disregard for accessibility when it comes to Deaf and HoH patrons. After hearing from a friend about the managements horrible handling of this very important issue, I would not recommend anyone chose to see shows at this venue. Management, please recognize that accessibility services are NOT an optional. Do better.

Tried to go with friends to see a band we love. One of them is deaf and requested an interpreter. After being told to provide one herself, which violates the ADA, there was no further communication until the day of the event. The same manager told us “sorry, it’s above me.” If you need an accommodation for any reason or support those who do, do not patronize this venue. Talk to your favorite acts and ask them to book at other venues.

The Social is a great venue in downtown Orlando. Have been going there for years whenever in town. Ive seen some amazing artists there as well as some underground, industrial and independent bands. Its a good size, you get to be very intimate with the band while playing. One of the best intimate venues in town if not THE best!

Great customer service. Awesome music and beautiful atmosphere.

If you, or anyone you know and love, has a disability, do not give this place your time, energy, or money. If you are looking for potential venues, and you or anyone you know and love has a disability, give this place a pass.They do not respect Deaf people, the refused to find a (legally required) interpreter, the went radio silent at every turn. They blatantly ignored an ADA law when they were given SIX WEEKS of lead time. I cannot imagine the vile class of monster that comprises the management and supervisory staff here, but every single one of them involved in this situation should be ashamed and issue a public apology.

DO NOT GO HERE! I am pretty sure there are multiple criminal operations being ran out of this establishment. The first one being a cell phone stealing ring. My phone was pick pocketed from me here last week. I was not inebriated in anyway, when I started looking for it I realized it is how there security and staff make extra money. I was outside with a woman that it was her 2nd time in one week getting her phone stolen from The Patio/The Social. I am doing a private investigation on this that will then be handed to OPD. Dont say I didnt warn you!

This venue refuses to abide by ADA laws, and will completely ghost disabled people when asking for accommodations. The manager stated its above them, and completely disregarded a deaf woman when asking for an interpreter. If you are deaf, disabled, or know someone who is, do not support this business. Im extremely disappointed in the abilist mindset that this venue has adopted, even when being emailed the laws on ADA compliance WEEKS in advance

Small so anyplace you stand will put you close to the band. Get there before the band starts and its 3.50$ for a drink [albeit small].Very solid music club!

1st I enjoyed myself at the rnb only event. Only issue I had was after a certain alot of people the ac is non existant lol.

Very intimate. Well worth experiencing concerts here.

I’m an avid concert goer, so take it from me when i say to skip this venue. The management here does not care about accommodating for those who need it. you’re deaf? that sucks, be prepared to wait weeks and never receive any sort of reply about an interpreter. need to contact management for anything? good luck, they must have hamsters answering the phones and gerbils replying to the emails.

A disgusting lack of accommodations for the deaf and hard of hearing community - The manager would not respond to multiple requests for an interpreter for over 6 weeks. Upon the event date, the manager said it was above her and it was not her responsibility to give equal access to customers - she advised the deaf event goers to google the lyrics and stand to the side while reading them. IF YOU ARE HARD OF HEARING, DEAF, OR OTHERWISE DISABLED - THIS ESTABLISHMENT ISNT WORTH YOUR TIME. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT ADA GUIDELINES!!!

Awesome smaller venue. Great bar too.

Blatant ignoring of ADA accommodations. An interpreter was requested 6 weeks in advance for a deaf friend. Ignored. Night of show, no interpreter. This venue does not care about disabled patrons.How can you have your website ADA accessible yet refuse to accommodate when they purchase tickets.

First time there Latin night saturday it was great dj was on point come 11pm he started slow music but picked it up as the night went in.

Lovely service from the fast and friendly Danielle, who made me feel like a regular, despite this being my first time at this venue. Quick service during a concert is a huge plus and a rarity these days! Fair drink and event prices and a guaranteed intimate experience with the performances! Cant wait to come back!

This place is not DISSABILLITY FRIENDLY. They held a concert recently where the deaf audience was DENIED an interpreter. Pretty sure this is against the law, and will be contacting all appropriate authorities. Do NOT go here and support this ableist establishment.

Great small venue for a concert. Get there early for good drink prices too.

For some reason, my review was taken down, so Ill add some venue-specific context: Weak drinks, dingy, ill-maintained venue.Additionally:Venue had 6 weeks to reasonably accommodate our deaf friends, but chose to ignore them, instead telling them to “Google the lyrics” when they arrived.Venues like The Social are legally obligated to provide interpreters when requested under Title III of the ADA. This is federal law - not an optional operational expense.Disgusting, dismissive, and dehumanizing behavior.

Gotta love a business that doesn’t follow ADA guidelines and then publicly defames the person trying to get those accommodations by saying they’re lying and that the issue was “solved in private”. We love a business that treats its disabled clientele like trash!

Great concert venue for smaller acts, no complaints.

Good place for live music, just need more staff behind the bar

DO NOT GO HERE! Phone was stolen from my pocket. Spoke with security immediately and they said they get 4-5 stolen phones each night! Why not have security inside watching people!

The same drinks went from 7 to 13 to 20$ throughout the night. The bartenders would ignore questions pretending they didn’t hear us or didn’t understand the accent. Shameless upcharging showing nothing on the bill - just “charge”. Yuck

Best place to see a show in Orlando. The nicest bathrooms in any downtown bar

Went to The Social last night. My first show there since the pandemic. It looked like they have done some upgrades! The place looked great. They staff was friendly. Its an intimate venue that always sounds great!

My and I went for a comedy show.The show was great but drinks are too pricey and they give it in a small plastic cup.

Any business who willfully violates ADA should not be in business. Shame on the leadership at this venue for not providing the requested reasonable accommodations when they were given more than enough time to do so.

Super fun it had been awhile and i had never been to a Latin night and we had a blast

Great small venue/bar! Saw Trash Boat and New Found Glory here last night and it was so great. Drinks were good - happy hour was until 8 pm and it was You Call It for $3.50, which was sweet. Bathrooms were clean, even after the concert had been going for a while. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Just so you all know, they don’t allow backpacks. Also, bartenders can just change the prices when they please! It gets hot as heck in this place. There feels to be no type of ventilation. So it starts to smell really, really bad. The security at least are nice and courteous. Management, not so much. Save your money and go somewhere else! Somewhere with better service and better drinks! I ordered a vodka red bull and it tasted like sugared water. The only thing that saved it was the band playing. Their regular music sucked!

Love this place. Small, intimate with a great sound. If you want to get up close and sweaty go in the sunken area by the stage. Want to be more chill, stay by the bar. The bartenders will take good care of you.

This venue refused to provide accommodations for a dead patron and completely ignored ADA laws and regulations. they were given 6 weeks notice. i refuse to give my money to a business with discriminatory practices.

I went for an Indie concert. It is a small place with a bar and a stage. Drinks prices were amazing but it couldve been because of the concert. The concert was nice, very intimate and everyone had a good spot. My only complain is how hot it was in there. Super hot. Its not like we were all jumping around. The music was very mellow. Just standing there made me sweat.

Love this place! Intimate setting and reasonably priced drinks. Recently saw Helmet and Local H - amazing!

We drove 5.5 hours to see a show at this venue. This place was awesome! It was a sold out show, but we didn’t feel too packed in. The show started early, which for us was EVERYTHING. The guy at the bar was really nice and quick to help. We would definitely make the drive again to come back! The only complaint my husband had was, he was a little wierded out by the “towel” guy in the men’s bathroom 😅

This has been the coolest venue Ive been to. The bartenders were super chill, and I didnt wait an eternity to get my drinks. The crowd that night was more mature, so everyone, EVERYONE was very polite. Even the security wasnt obnoxious. We saw New Found Glory, and I would love for them to come back to the social.

Visited this place often from fall 2016 to fall 2017 to see amazing artists such as Said The Sky and EDEN. Great space as there is a lower-level area when you walk in, and the upper-level area has a railing to distinguish the two sections besides the ability to walk down the stairs to the lower part. Good location with the rest of the nightlife in downtown Orlando. I would usually attend concerts at this venue, so I do not remember if they require a cover fee. The crowds were always fun to be around at The Social.

This venue is dismissive towards disabled patrons, and management is just as bad. Please never play here or attend shows here until they learn that breaking ADA laws and being awful towards disabled people isn’t okay.

Great downtown venue for interesting bands. On busy nights, it is a bit tight moving around. Drink special this night was really good. Was a bit disappointed they kicked us out between concert and club after. But still, been going to this place since it was Sapphire Supper Club, good times.

Intimate, great acoustics, good staff. The beer taps were off/broken when I was last there so it would be nice to get that taken care of... Still, there was a good selection of canned ones, wines, and liquor available. A great spot for smaller/lesser known acts. GA for most events due to the smaller size - so if you get there early enough you will likely be able to reach out and touch (or be touched by) your favorite performer. A good venue overall, and a credit to downtown Orlandos thriving music scene.

Local H was fantastic but afterwards had to get out of line because I have bad feet from being on the army. Instead of just letting me wait for my friend they kicked me out of the venue. Turns out all their atms are busted and so was the card reader so Venmo was required for merch. My friend doesnt have Venmo but I do. I show them the texts and ask to go in so we can pay and leave and was refused entry. To a venue I had already paid for. That I wouldnt have left had they not kicked me out. Great show and bartenders but the other staff have to do better

Great little venue for up-close performances, amazing atmosphere. If you know a band coming through here, make sure to get a ticket quickly, as the number of people allowed in is surprisingly low, and gets you within feet of the artists. Can get very loud due to the confined space and amazing sound system, so if youre unsure bring a pair of earplugs just in case.

This place is great! For very intimate shows and a great time with friends, this place has an awesome guy. They have a nice older building with breaks which gives a nice smell of field to the place, theres all kinds of nooks and crannies to find a place to sit, and the drinks are reasonably priced. Theres also access to other places around town so if you want to wander around and go for a walk youll find entertaining things to do. I recommend this place and plan to go to a show again in the near future.

Good sound system, well prices drinks

Enjoyed the Strange Love concert. First time to the Social. Its a bit tight on room to move around. Was quite a crowded night and we were all packed into different areas. Just saying, COVID didnt seem like a concern for anyone and there were still tickets available to squeeze in more 🤔 (yes, COVID should still be top of mind)

Intimate venue with lots of ambiance. Smoking area out front. You will be lightly frisked upon entering, but it wasnt unreasonable. Saw Hinds and Mustard Service here and had a blast! Loved both bands even though Id never heard them before

Good drink pices before 8, and the place is small but nice

The blond bartender at social is really rude and arrogant not feeling like working and telling people to go to the other bartenders even though she clearly was just sitting there and having conversations with costumers instead of taking orders. definitely do not recommend her . I saw her turn away people just to be lazy.. I usually do not leave any negative reviews but what I saw and watched was not cool. laziness should be gotten rid of..not the first time she has done this .

Super uncomfortable with a business that doesn’t follow ADA laws/ guidelines. Manager is unreliable and flakey.Very disappointed and disgusted at the blatant disregard for human rights.

Great place to see a band not a bad seat in the place

It is ok for what it is. Saturday was a Latin night with a DJ for the stage performer. Music was played and videos for the music was displayed on large monitors. A place to dance, smoke hookahs for a fee. Liquor, beer. Similar layout to the Sapphire Supper Club from times past.

I had a great time seeing a show at the social. What wasn’t so great was the bathroom attendant who called me out for not tipping. I did not realize I would have to pay to pee and very rarely carry cash on me

This has been a favorite venue for years because how intimate it is. Last night I took my 10 yro old to his first show there. The staff was over amazing in making sure he was good. They offered him ear plugs, gave him a Gatorade, and then security let us stand inside the back stage area and watch the show with a unobstructed view the entire time. Seruously cant thank the venue enough for making his first concert so amazing.

Strange setup for live music with stage on side wall and questionable mix of sound, but good venue to see bands up close and personal. Plus, provides easy access to the bar! Have had plenty of good times there.

Great place, amazing service. Danielle, the bartender is by far one of the best servers Ive ever had. She remembered my name, drink, my friends names and drinks and so efficient and quick. This made my experience 100000x better. You go girl!

Had a nice time here! Not a lotta space but now with the current situation, I dont mind that plus the limited occupancy...I do however want to give a special shoutout to servers Cali and Brooklyn for serving the best cups of water! LOL I dont drink but their attitudes were way too awesome to pass up on adding them to this great experience :D it didnt hurt that theyre both gorgeous too!

Went to the Social for a concert on July 9th 2022, there was a line that stretched out of the door and around the building that was moving very slowly. Turns out it’s because the two young women working the front door were literally face timing friends and playing on their phones. Amazing

If you are or love anyone that is a part of the disabled community you will not visit this establishment. They do not provide reasonable accommodations as required by law. Absolutely shameful.

Fridays they have great Latin music! Was not disappointed at all, completely made our night and danced all night with a variety of Latin music! Will come back again

The bar area was Extremely messy, and even the back area where the girls were serving was mess as hell too. Waited nearly 30 mins just to get a drink. Others would walk right up to the bar and the girl would help them immediately. Drinks a very small and kinda spendy. Music was good tho.

The premiere venue for live music… Always great national acts playing…. The absolute legendary venue in Downtown Orlando. So many great shows and such great memories. This is Orlando’s Whiskey A Go Go….

This venue refuses to provide sign language interpreters, a direct violation of federal guidelines laid out by the ADA, denying Deaf patrons equal access required by law.

Small intimate venue. I came here for the first time to see iseestars and Crown the Empire a few weeks ago. It was really hot inside, but it was a sold out show so thats kind of expected. The bar tenders were great at having ice waters lined up on the bar so people could stay hydrated. The security guys were serious about no crowd surfing (even though the singer of Crown the Empire was telling people to crowd surf him a shot from the bar) and kicked a guy out for it but overall I would come back to see other bands here.

My favorite concert venue in Orlando. Great location in downtown surrounded by bars, restaurants, etc. Its a very small venue where you are essentially right on top of the stage. The tiered design makes for good sight-lines anywhere. The sound has been good for all of the shows Ive seen. Bar prices are fair with some decent specials on occasion, and service is good. Security is security, not any meaner or nicer than any other place Ive seen a show in my life.

Blatantly neglected their obligation to obtain an ASL interpreter, as mandated by the ADA, even though the guests gave ample notice and even offered to assist them in finding said interpreter.

This is a great little venue. Its a little weird that their shows always start so early - doors at 6 and bands at 7? A weekend is ok, but some weekday shows are a PIA to get to if you dont live *in* Orlando the city.Also, no dedicated parking, but plenty of $5 or $10 all-night lots nearby, and easy to get into if youre trying to get to a show at 6-8 pm, since the club scene doesnt really kick off until after 10pm.The venue is small. Pro= the band is no more than 10 yards from anywhere. Which makes it a little tight. Getting to the main stage bar is a difficult, but the back stage bar is usually pretty open and it even has a live cc feed of the stage, even tho you really can see it.They also book some decent acts here, but ymmv based on tastes, but it goes towards good management of the place.

Great small concert venue in the heart of downtown. Went to see Destroyer and the venue was not overly packed. After the recent shooting in Orlando, they have very strict security, including a metal detector wand and a pat down, which made us feel safer.

Its intimate. Full liquor. Clean and very historical. Small venues are a staple for music so please support these venues.

Smaller live music venue great for a more up close and personal experience

I was attending a concert with my boyfriend who requires a wheelchair. The staff were unbelievably friendly when we stayed afterwards to get pictures and an autograph at the end of the show. Its wonderful that they have a unisex bathroom, we didnt need it, but when with someone of the opposite sex who has a disability, who may or may not need help in the restroom, its so nice to have that option.

Will not follow ADA compliance *laws* for their *Deaf and Hard of Hearing customers. Are cowards when confronted in person. Garbage establishment.

Some bartenders were awesome. Way to small of a venue for having big bands there. Security is a joke. A man was punching women and security was being called for help and did nothing. Staff was extremely unorganized with tickets. My email said that tickets will be picked up at will call. They had no tickets. Just a list of people who bought tickets. I wont go out of my way to attend a concert at this venue again.

This is a great venue to see live music. Cheap drinks. Friendly bartenders. You can see the stage from anywhere. Perfect.

This venue refuses to follow ADA law and discriminates against deaf individuals. The manager takes no accountability and diverts blame.

I went on a Friday night to see Big 10-4 and had a great time. The space is wide open with a lower level in front of the stage and a huge bar on the opposite side. The Social is a great club for Concerts or a good night out in Orlando.

1 star is being generous. The Social is BY FAR the worst concert venue Ive ever been to. I saw The Church here on 9/23, crammed in like sardines, and no air/AC. Easily over 100*, and the staff were charging $4 for water. The conditions were so bad that an Australian band cut their set list in half, walked off and didnt come back. Ive never wanted a concert to be over so bad. This venue was a complete disservice to a great iconic band.

Imagine not following ADA accessibility laws. Dont go here. The manager refused to get an interpreter for a friend and had to refund tickets. I am not happy. This place sucks.

Overall, a nice place....HOWEVER, the front door screening process leaves a LOT to be desired!Entry with a PREPAID ticked was difficult, if not awkward, at best. Not sure why the person at the desk had such a difficult time with the idea of a PREPAID ticket (for a sold out event), but it took much longer to figure this out than was reasonable. In the end, everything was OK (after a couple of other staff members assisted in the effort).THEN... I made the mistake of stepping outside for a phone call. When I attempted to go back on, I was (rudely) informed there was no Re-Entry.I would chalk that up to s policy decision, except that I had asked if Re-Entry was an issue, and assured it was not!Suggestion: .DECIDE WHAT IS/IS NOT A POLICY, AND FOLLOW IT VENUE-WIDE!!!Please!

Frequently host to bands of various quality ranging from good music all the way down to background music I was almost killed in the bathroom here in 2011 during an unprovoked attack while seeing The Drums. Following this I had an emergency craniotomy and spent 3 years in physical therapy. The club lawyered up immediately and refused to release any information without a court order. Do your best not to get hurt, or die here- as your family will never receive anything even remotely resembling closure. Furthermore management will suddenly become unaware of what the club is, or does.

Refuses to work with or respond to my deaf friend. She just wants to be able to enjoy her time out. Why does The Social shun deaf people??

Nicer than your typical music venue. Clean bathrooms Good acoustics. Very intimate venue. First time here and I will be back.

I went to see Silverstein here on February 16th. The show was great and I had VIP tickets to get in early and find a good spot. The venue itself is very intimate, close in and not a very large crowd can fit into such a small place. That being said, its hard to have a bad spot in here during a concert.My only issue with this venue, and it is the biggest issue, is the lack of professionalism in the bartending staff. After the show was over, the bar had complimentary water, which is completely normal. However, one of the bartenders, a blonde woman specifically, was extremely rude and vulgar when I had politely asked for a water.Because of her lousy attitude, I will never see another show at this venue again.

Great place to see a show. I loved seeing Moose Blood there! It can get kind of loud and crowded which is nothing compared to how close you can get to the band. Bar staff are extremely kind and quick.

Cool little music venue with great sound. The drinks were a little pricey and the bathroom attendant guy is really not necessary, and makes for awkward trips to the bathroom.

Literally breaking ADA LAWS for accessibility for disabled people and now slandering someone who had an issue with this and voiced it publicly. 10/10 do not recommend.

The DJ sucks… hopefully they be changing them.. this one tonight doesn’t know how to mix nor get the people hype.

A small venue. It’s a nice place but it was extremely over crowded for the Too Many Zoos show I went to. Shoulder to shoulder and nearly impossible to travel to the bathroom. The venue is fine, but overselling tickets sucks

Great venue. Great place to see your favorite band. No matter where you are standing there is not a bad view and the sound is great. Bartenders are quick and courteous.

How is the social not apart of 64 North, you have to pay 10.00 dollars for Spanish music … 64th north is connected to Aero, The Patio but no longer attached to the social. Honestly this is just disappointing— the clubs listed above play ever genre of music but not Latin….. I’m not understanding the concept, for so many years the social was apart of all the other clubs/bars listed above. . Highly disappointed

My favorite music venue, hands down. Size and acoustics are great, and you always have a view of the stage no matter where you stand. Bartenders are top notch, too.

Went here for Marauda and was really satisfied. The sound system was insanely good (not sure if that was supplied from the club or him), either way bar service was nice and easy with friendly bartenders.

Great venue for a show in that its intimate however it felt like there was no air conditioning. Website said cameras allowed and I was forced to leave mine at door since Id uberd from hotel and band had own policies.downtown area so pricy parking or parallel which I wasnt comfortable in.

Nice cozy venue, drinks were small, expensive, and strong.

This business doesnt follow ADA laws and doesnt accommodate their patrons. Do not visit here or hold any events here until they follow the FEDERAL ADA law.

I was at a show which attracts a very calm audience, discontent with the lack of trouble the bouncers began picking on people and ejecting anyone who appeared at all intoxicated. Rude staff and bad acoustics, dont waste your money.

Aside from Wills pub, Tanquerays, and the Plaza - Social is one of the few places that consistently has great live shows in an intimate setting. Drinks a bit pricey though - wanna know what a $4 PBR tastes like? ....a $2 PBR.

I attended an all ages show at The Social. When asked for my ID by a security guard handing out 21 + wristbands I said a simple I will not be drinking tonight. The security guard then stared to yell at me. I did not ask if you were drinking. Why cant you follow directions? You need to do what I tell you to do.After being verbally assaulted and publicly humiliated then the guard yelled What happens if I pass out and need to be identified?This goes against the clubs policy for all ages shows.

Low stage and sunken pit area so youre super close to the band or whoevers playing. Liquor and beer selection is not spectacular. Right in the heart of downtown. Sometimes the sound is iffy but overall good venue.

The concert ticket prominently displayed $4 you-call-its, but after ordering was told that its not happening because they havent updated their system. What? Fix your POS system or dont advertise deals that you cant deliver.

This venue breaks ADA laws. Refusing to provide interpreters for deaf after more than enough provided time.

Great intimate venue. . will definately go next time a band/group I like plays there!

Ive been here, probably, 50 or 60 times. The sound is almost always perfect, the staff is attentive when its busy. Be sure to show up an hour before the show to take advantage of the specials.

Love the intimate feel of this place! You really get up close and personal with the celebrities.

It was good, Dj did a great job for Saturday Latin night! Small lounge-like ambience. Small dance floor. But it was ok

The John 5 and the Creatures were awesome. Just you and about 400 of your closest friends.

Bartenders know how to make a good drink and the venue has amazing sound. Super intimate. Ive been going here for shows since 2009.Always a first choice venue

Terrible service at the bar. Took forever to get a drink and the show wasn’t even sold out. They have this archaic way to keep track of tabs involving keeping your card and your drivers license then writing your name on a log by the register. Unfriendly staff too. I hope no acts I want to see ever come to this venue because I never want to go back.

My son and his friend went here and had a great time at the noahfinnce concert however afterwards my son was in line for merch and was yelled at twice by one of the male staff, this guy even pushed my kid so him and his friend would leave even though there were others lining up for merch and taking pictures, keep in mind these kids are 15 years old, just had the time of their lives, wanted some merch and pics and then they get yelled at ?? Horrendous

Recently replaced flooring, redone restrooms, new bar coolers, & several other improvements make for a much nicer, much better smelling (!!) show-going experience. Be prepared to stand for more popular shows.

Great place to see a concert. Great vantage points from anywhere in the venue. My only complaint is that sound mixing wasnt right as the vocals kept dropping in and out near the stage.

Its a nice little place, but the stage is incredibly small, not great for full band venues.

Zero attention to detail. Bar service requires an ID to hold, as well as, a debit/credit card. Great small bands, but terrible staff.

Have been to The Social 3 times for Emo Nite LA and I always have so much fun! The drinks are fairly priced and the bathrooms are kept clean throughout the night.

This bar will bait and switch on drink prices. Couldn’t even bring in an unopened bottle of water. Security made us throw a whole bottle in the trash. Terrible venue

Blatantly breaks ADA laws and blames the disabled person. If you have any type of disability, Id avoid at all costs.

Love this place Sat night...Latin night is fire and some cuties (men and women). You can also go from the Social to Patio to AeroIt’s nice and you should go enjoy yourself. Very diverse crowd!!!

This is a terrible venue. The redeeming quality is how close you are to the stage no matter where youre standing in the room but honestly theres nowhere to sit and it kind of sucks that you cant leave and come back since theres nothing to do while youre waiting but stand around.

Steer clear if you are deaf/hoh because they are not ADA compliant and ignored requests to provide an interpreter 6 weeks in advance

Whats the Phat chubs deal back in the late 90s. You should play Marilyn Manson the Bootiful People and let everybody wind it UP! Chub Rock much better! Hey all of yall! I love my nub, did ya learn? FU!

Amazing intimate music venue. Be careful of sold out shows, they usually cram everyone inside and its hot and hard to move around, but otherwise its one of the best in Orlando.

Didn’t like this night much. The music was weird and the crowd seemed very young. I felt like I was the oldest person there and I’m 30. The waitress was very nice and beautiful.

Went with a friend to see E Turn and her crew. Great space, great show!

DO NOT ATTEND IF DEAFvenue breaks ADA laws by ignoring request for interpreter 👎🏽

Usually a nice small venue to see good bands. Not many craft beers though :( (at least the ones I like).Been here thousand times, probably going to go another thousand while Im in Orlando.

Saw the band Cold here. Perfect room for an intimate concert experience. Loved it.

Great little venue that hosts memorable locals and national/international acts. Standouts have been The Revivalists, Dawes, Charles Bradley and his Extraordinaires, and Langhorne Slim and the Law.

This venue does not adhere to ADA laws allowing equal access to the deaf and hard-of-hearing. Shameful.

Good venue for up and coming bands and medium sized alternative music.

Had a great time here. Small intimate club vibe. Great for a show.

By far my favorite venue for live music. I wish i could give it 6 stars! In addition, Daniella is the best bartender ever.

Breaks laws by not providing ADA required accommodations to patrons even with advanced notice. Shame

July 2nd, 2017 (Sunday Night) Worst security service ever.. 2 people in front of me was let in with hats and I as well had a hat (A hat that wasnt a snapback or a fitted) but was denied entrance and was told to leave and I didnt even say a word while in line. When I was told that I couldnt come in I replied about the 2 gentlemen they let in front of me in and they replied they didnt let anyone in with hats when everyone seen them and then on top of it all, girls that looked under 21 was let in as the fat security looked like a dog waiting for meat, being disrespectful to the young ladies. Never will I come back unless real security are hired and trained the proper way for these pick and choose who they let in. The funny part is they wouldnt let me in but was quick to offer the ladies I was with VIP..

I saw a couple concerts here. I like the layout of the bar and stage. The acoustics and viewing of the live music was among the best in Orlando.

Best local venue, hands down. Small, cozy atmosphere, reasonable drink prices. There isnt a bad view in the place.

Great music very fun!

The venue is not in compliance with title iii of the ada. its above them to follow up on their legal obligations.

They hate people that are not typical. If you have a disability, stay clear as they dont adhere to ADA LAWS.

Very cool to be so close to bands onstage. Gets crowded fast, so not a bad idea to get their early, grab some drinks and a table and chill before the band comes on.

Great small venue for all kinds of concerts

Such a cool little venue! I had a great time seeing Loveless!

Looks nice but staffing was incredibly rude and dismissive. I would not recommend and I’m for sure never going back.

A good variety of music can be found here as well as good drink specials. If youre visiting Orlando this is a good place to come if you like the club scene.

I saw Saigon Kick on August 9, 2013. Great intimate venue!!!! I hope more bands that I like play there so I can visit again. Highly recommend!

Smaller venue that hosts a great concert. Bar to one side with a stage on the other with a drop down floor in between to make sure anywhere you are you can see the artist.

Extremely disappointed at the blatant disrespect to the Deaf community and disabled community at large. Do better. Follow the law.

One of the more compact of the big venues. Some great artists have come through there. David Liebe Hart blew the roof off the place.

Small venue. Perfect for those who dont like a huge crowd. We had a blast seeing Built to Spill. We will definitely be back.

Refuses to accommodate to ADA laws and lacks clear communication to those who are trying to work accommodations out with them.

Awesome dive bar and an awesome place to go if you want to close that experience with some of your favorite small-time bands, definitely a place I would like to return once a year.

Great show! The venue is small enough that you can see from anywhere. The bar is top notch too.

Didnt like it at all. No food was served, only drinks. The venue was too small with no adequate amount of seating. I was there for a comedy show. I couldnt enjoy it because I was uncomfortable, standing only.

Great sound for live performances on this venue!

You denied a deaf woman access to a terp… totally illegal and 100% rude. Def won’t be stopping in here again

This venue does not care about disabled people or creating an accessible space.

Fantastic atmosphere! Went on Emo Nite and loved EVERY SECOND of it. Great staff, great dj, great time!

Does not comply with ADA laws and does not respect its disabled clientele. Do better.

Really cool venue, its smaller but works well for most if the acts that play there, intimate environment for sure.

The social doesnt offer accessibility or communication to disabled individuals when requesting aconodations. Do not support!

Small and intimate venue for music and whatnot. Not a bad view anywhere. Good place to catch a show.

I was kicked out of the event for no apparent reason. The Lead security called me ugly names, threaten to punch me in the face. Had me constantly harassed by law enforcement. It was a horrible experience and I will never go back bad business.

Had such a great time at the concert the venue was small and felt really intimate

Small, intimate venue so you can get up close and personal with the band. The two bartenders I spoke with were super nice and helpful.

Great place for small concerts, you get to be real close and personal with the artist. Definitively coming back here for any concert in the future

Not a bad experience. Music was hella loud so dont expect to come here and socialize. But good crowd of people.

Its a nice venue, every day is different music or most time a mix.

Incredibly intimate venue with great atmosphere. If you love music and like to be close to the artists whose music you cherish then this is the place for you.
