About this space

Upstairs Bar is an intimate, music-led wooden room originally designed by renowned architects David Adjaye and Will Russell. Our booth seating and tables allow for great nights with friends and the perfect sport to enjoy our top floor bar.

For the last two decades, The Social has been one of central London’s most loved getaways – somewhere between a modern day speakeasy and a home-from-home local.

Birthday Party · 50 guests
Graeme and the team at the social were so incredibly helpful / thoughtful. We had very clear communication in the weeks leading up to the party. The venue provided a DJ and bouncer for the night, and they did their best to make the money we'd put down stretch for the duration of the night

About The Social

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.
