The Social in Glasgow City

Had after-works drinks here in a group of 20 people, with a tab set up. Eilidh was an absolute star looking after us, and our glasses were never empty for long! Nothing was too much trouble for her 😊 t Thank you!

Sadly I didn't get to stay - but shout out to Jessica at front desk who helped with a difficulty around a booking. We will get there one day.

Amazing friendly service by Cara S. Made me an outstanding caramel latte, perfect start to the day :)

Cocktails were great! Ava gave such lovely service!

Hard boiled eggs instead of pouch.

The best service from Ava!! couldn’t ask for better staff.

Aimée was a great help and very attentive when I had questions. Overall a great experience and would happily go back.

Ava done our masterclass and she was amazing! Great package, so much for the price. 5* x

We had a cocktail masterclass and Ava was amazing 🤩💜

Lovely lil place and Sky was absolutely amazing :)

I Came in for a couple drinks with a friend - I was served by Ava and had an amazing time overall!❤️

We came here for a birthday meal and drinks. We were approached by waitress 3 times within about 10 mins to see if we were ready to order. (Did feel rushed considering it was empty) we'd picked the toasted sandwich this was tasteless, we'd ordered side portion of chips and onion rings. The onion rings were like a deep fried ball, certainly was not the shape of a onion ring. They were dripping with oil. We also waited a while for the food to come out. It was certainly not value for money.

Cara was a fabulous host, thank you so much for making our visit special ♥️

Great cocktails made by our server Ava. She was very kind and had great customer service

A Go-to-Place became a major Disappointment yesterday. Although I was there with my husband, I felt unsafe in the vicinity. Socials authorities say-“Socials operate- a policy where any patrons entering the venue in the evening must be accompanied by someone. This is in the interest of safety.” The security/bouncers were extremely rude and used swear words with us, misunderstanding our Anger with our intoxication. When we reported the incident of mistreatment (I was inappropriately touched) by a man inside Socials, their way of handling the situation was appalling. The security/bouncers should be able to differentiate whether a person is drunk or angry. The security guards’ behavior is unacceptable; I felt we were the victims of racism.

Hidden gem of Glasgow! We had decided to try this place when over for a weekend break and we were pleasantly surprised! We knew this place was classed as a 'cocktail bar' on Google but did not realise that the food would be as amazing as it was! We loved the food here and it came out in a timely manner, just our sides were forgotten but corrected. Our food order was varied including a pasta and burger dishes and both were amazing with loads of flavour and great portions. Our desserts were also a surprise as it was a twist on the traditional banoffee pie and it was incredible. We got ourselves cocktails also and they lived up to the hype, especially the solero! Will definitely be back! :)

Amazing food and cocktails. Great atmosphere and amazing staff, would recommend to anyone

Sandwich was lovely hubby had fish n chips however batter was burnt I feel they batch cook then reheat reason batter was burnt/ overcooked and hubby not one to complain. You buy drink and food which is included in the service - how3ver they added on 10% service charge! Why? As service is included in the price you already paid for re meals n drinks. I asked for it to be removed which they did. For that reason I will not return

Drinks are amazing but the bar tender was very very rude, seemed very inconvenient for him to make us a drink. :(

Popped in for lunch drinks, very attentive staff, food was excellent

Came here with my friend for some drinks, we were served by the best bartender Romano. Drinks were amazing and atmosphere was great!

This place is always rammed. Gr8 location and formula. Recommend a visit but be flexible about the perch you find

This restaurant is just a barbecue bar, and it is not expensive, this is a personal discrimination and racial discrimination!! The waiter told me that I was alone so I was not allowed in, but there was a woman sitting at the door who came alone. I asked why she could come alone, and the waiter told me that I was not allowed to come alone after six o 'clock. When I asked where the rules came from, he started rolling his eyes at me and then ignored me. It's ridiculous！Shame on you！The management must be mean people to make these unreasonable rules, many people complained this rule and the dress code rules, you just a cheap restaurant, I have been many fantastic luxury restaurant, never have seen such a ridiculous rule. Please stop emphasizing your absurd and rude rules to guests. These rules are completely unfounded. Have you seen how many negative reviews you've received because of them? It's ridiculous. Your security says that no one is allowed to dine alone after six o'clock. This rule clearly restricts personal freedom and is a violation of rights. If every restaurant had such an unintelligent rule, claiming it's unsafe for someone to dine alone, does that mean people dining alone have no right to eat in restaurants or walk the streets at night? I am not here to drink alcohol. I am a working adult. Even if I were to go to a bar alone in the early morning hours, I would not be refused service. What gives you the right to refuse me? You are a bunch of discriminatory people who do not consider human rights. I've seen many complaints about your rules in the reviews. Why are you so harsh? If you truly cared about your customers, you would consider their feelings and why they might be hungry. I am very curious about the basis for your rules. I asked your security guard, but he couldn't give me an answer and instead rolled his eyes at me. I have never encountered such a stupid rule. This is not only about the rule itself but also about the attitude of your security staff. I simply wanted to know why others can dine alone inside, but I cannot. I strongly suspect racial discrimination, as your security not only refused me entry but also ignored me, rolled his eyes, and impatiently told me to leave.

Good day and staff couldn't do enough to help and everything was done with a smile especially at this time of year well done guys

Came in last night for a few drinks for Christmas night out . The male toilet seemed to be the place to get drugs !! Two guys in there the whole time night obviously dealing . Numerous bouncers told of this . Nothing happened at all . Will never be back . Sad reflection on Glasgow .

Came in for christmas dinner with my family and i was blown away by the food and service! So accommodating for kids as well with pencils for them to keep busy with. The drinks were delish too!

Had a lovely lunch while Christmas shopping in town yesterday with my friends. The new christmas winter drinks were unbelievable and the staff were amazing! The Manager Hannah was really accommodating and friendly and made the experience extra special by recommending food and drinks that we would like. We wiłł 100% be back!

Had some lovely Christmas drinks at the social, loved the elf! Aimee was very helpful

Fantastic experience, would recommend in a heartbeat. Props to our server Kayleigh for providing such a great service.

“Fantastic Atmosphere and Great Drinks!” I had an incredible experience at this bar! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and stylish—perfect for a night out. The staff were friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. Especially to Kayleigh our server! The drink menu offered a creative variety of cocktails, craft beers, and fine spirits, and everything we tried was top-notch. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick drink after work or spending the evening catching up with friends, this is the place to be. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great bar experience!

Was here on Saturday night with my friends and had the best night. The girl behind the bar, I think her name was Kayla, was amazing and really made our experience even better!!! I would defo recommend this place and have already planned a night out in the new year again!!

Went in on Saturday night for drinks with some pals. Was served by a girl with tattoos and glasses who was nothing but amazing. Class service and great venue

Had some lovely Christmas drinks at the social, loved the elf! Aimee was very helpful

Drinks were all great and service was fantastic !! We had a solero and a pornstar each and they were delicious. Will definitely be back.

Service was amazing! Staff are so friendly and couldn’t be any more helpful. We loved every cocktail we tried and enjoyed the small plates we ordered too! The mushroom tempura and pigs in blankets were our favs! Will definitely be back :)

This is the second time we've been here for festive drinks and again we were not disappointed. The drinks were great and reasonably priced and the atmosphere was fantastic.

Came today for lunch on our Xmas day out with our baby. When met at the front door the waiter had said that before we sit down for lunch we must order a main meal each as we have a child with us and that was the policy. That was ok, we understood this as it was a pub we were in. We then ordered our drinks, were given a high chair for our baby and ordered our food. Although nothing was said to us directly, the vibe and feeling we got was that we were unwanted ?due to having a baby with us. Unsure why as the place wasn’t exactly busy. We then ordered our meals and that was fine. 5 minutes had passed and the waitress had came up to us and said that the kitchen was “busy” and it would be some wait for food, maybe around 30 minutes and they understand if we had to leave. Again, feeling unwelcome we decided not to wait and just leave. Before we even got a mouth out of drinks we were then placed with the bill for our drinks and told “not to rush away” however strange since the food was going to be 30mins? Not impressed. After speaking the ?manager he began to explain that it was due to only 2 chefs on and it being busy due to Christmas bookings? To be honest the vibe and unfriendly manner of the place has put me off returning especially with my child. If they don’t want children in a restaurant then don’t accommodate with high chairs etc. However Di Maggio’s next door was much more welcoming with staff and atmosphere so I would go next door instead.

Was in for my Christmas night out. Truly a shambles. We arrived at 2 and got seated on time, was reminded they required the table back by 4 which was no problem. Didn't get our first course of soup until 3.30. The staff who were getting drinks were very overwhelmed and I genuinely felt sorry for them as there just wasn't enough. Vibe is not one my team or I will be going back to. Very disappointed.

Had poor service drink order wrong 3 times Chicken fajitas inedible chicken was tough. Macaroni cheese very little sauce and then was charged a 10% service charge which we were not informed of and there was no sign saying this would be applied

Had a lovely experience at the social this weekend. Took ma wee mum and she loved it too. Stunning girl behind the bar, kinda looked like maura off the jungle. Think her name was Bella. She was wonderful, gave us wonderful advice on the cocktail menu and gave ma wee mum a mocktail. Was absolutely wonderful. Music too loud tho! Couldne hear me ma

Not what it used to be. Thought there was a smoking/vape ban indoors? And the rest!!!

Very nice cocktails! The Solero was delicious. Food was very tasty, especially the chips and onion rings. Good central location and a nice lively atmosphere! The bar area is beautiful. Really nicely decorated for Christmas too! Will be back

Not really for regular looking old blokes. Nice enough don’t get me wrong. Maybe just the wrong person.

Few times had to say wrong drink at table and to many staff coming to table trying to take orders even though we ssyed been served

Food was fine but the wine list is bad and wine glasses cheap. Good service and the place looks nice.

Bella did our cocktail master class for my besties daughters 18th birthday treat! It was a fab couple of hours! Bella was a great host, we all had a hilarious time! Defo recommend Cx

Nice atmosphere, decent prices.

Was nice but a but expensive we only went for 1 brink as it was fully booked

I was there for the second time. I was unpleasantly surprised. I ordered 3 drinks. I was supposed to pay 24 pounds. I asked for the bill but the lady behind the bar said that the bill machine was not working. After an hour I ordered the same drinks and the price was 29 pounds. I don't know what's going on but I have the impression that the barman charges however he wants

Bought a ticket for Cafe Mambo Halloween, turn up at the Social and was refused entry by the rude door staff. Will never return to the place. I have been there on numerous occasions. A total waste of time and money. If I could give it zero score I would have. Avoid at all costs.

So today I booked a table for a night out with my wife, albeit this is for November. But I just wanted to leave this review for the booking process. The booking was so easy to do online, confirmation emails sent. I then contacted through Facebook Messenger. Morgan quickly responded, and can I just say her customer service was nothing short of exceptional. First class service guys, and a special mention again to Morgan for here professionalism.

We stopped here for Saturday lunch and really enjoyed the vibe in the restaurant. It was busy with shoppers and others calling in for lunch, clearly a popular place. The staff were welcoming and friendly and the service great. Would certainly recommend!

The drinks were fine, although service was slow. The toilets are tiny and in terrible condition. Some of the doors don't lock, or don't even fit into the door frame anymore.

Came as a group of 13 for a cocktail masterclass, our host Abby was fantastic kept us entertained and showed us great cocktails to make, food was lovely and we were looked after well. Definitely recommend.

We attended the Beetlejuice Cocktail Masterclass for my 30th Birthday. Abby Smith was our host throughout the evening, dressed as Beetlejuice she was definitely in character! Abby also made sure we all had a great time by keeping everything flowing seamlessly. We had such a great evening filled with beautiful cocktails, food, good music & laughs.

The cocktail making class was so much fun I would definitely recommend it and our server Abby was absolutely amazing and so helpful!!

Came in for a couple of drinks, was seated and served by Jess - she was super friendly - great service! Will be back!!

Did not eat here as popped in to shelter from rain after a red eye flight. Lovely spot for lunch gets busy young crowd later. Great service and friendly in the city heart.

Music way too loud, food somewhat old and stale.

Trendy bar selling cocktails and food with the odd package deal for both. Nice atmosphere, nice staff and love the decor, could be a bit cleaner and fresher throughout. Sure I've had a late night drink in here more than once! Love the mirror cubicle in the ladies and the mirror photo wall.

Avoid here for dinner, service is terrible! Waited so long to be served for drinks and food. Then it just got worse, ignored all night to order drinks. We tried to order a coffee at 19.40 to be told it was too late the coffee machine was closed for the night. Ok place for a cocktail if you go to the bar yourself but AVOID eating here. Plenty of nicer places to eat close by with much better food and excellent service.

Had a great night at the social, big shoutout to Ali on the door 😊

Lovely staff , specially Ali at the door 🤩🚪

Great night out! Highlight of the night is always seeing Ali’s smiling face on the door! Always helpful and so friendly

I came in a few weeks ago with some friends and we were served by Aimee. She was lovely and cheery and gave us recommendations on what to order.

Food and service was great. Lovely cocktails. Server was Skye very helpful. Nothing was a problem. Highly Recommend.

Amy (lovely English girl) was very helpful when I asked about the menu and the midweek cocktails and made me and my friend Shazreen lovely ‘Soleros’! Really made our girly night out and we will be back soon!

Me and my niece arrived at the social in Glasgow last night, we got in without a problem bouncers were chatting away (lovely lads) and let me tell you we loved every bit of it... one of the managers Hannah I’m sure she said her name was, she was a great help in advising what cocktails to go for as with me being over 50, I didn’t really have a clue. Would recommend the social! GREAT atmosphere, GREAT service!

Great time in here over the weekend, Ali the bouncer looked after us and was a standout with the already great staff

Always have the best night, the staff is always friendly especially Ali one of the bouncers

Oh what a night it was, started off with a bang when a handsome fella named Ali greeted us into this fine establishment. With a smile and good wit it really made me feel comfortable inside and relaxed. I’d vape often just to talk to Ali, what a lovely man

Went here and had an absolutely lovely server called Skye made my experience!!

Food and drinks were both lovely and service was great - Skye our waitress was very attentive but not overbearing. We all had a great night

Went here recently, had a girl named Skye serve me such a good place to go absolutely loved it

will be coming back. our server skye was great and the food is amazing !

Was served by Aimée , such a lovely girl and making us feel so welcome! Defo recommend to all! Good vibes and a day to remember

Eilidh omg this girl wow! The service! The beauty, the banter! I love this girl! Give her a pay rise! She’s incredible, kind, went way above and beyond! Truly stunning, got the best Long Island ice t ever she is honestly out of this world! Give her a big bonus truly! Made my day! X

Always busy, and cocktails are great 👍

Went to the social today, our server Isabella was great, she was really lovely and let us know about the half price cocktails would recommend !

Such a lovely place had such a good server called Skye highly recommend

We were offered table service on entry and seated right away. Our server Isabella came back to check on us and take our order

Our server Isabella was amazing and food was great. Drink were great, we got the iconic soleri and we loved it. Will come again !

Dropped by last minute without a reservation and despite being busy their manager, Hannah sorted us a table and made sure we were well looked after all night. Food was amazing and so were the cocktails, as always! Great atmosphere and too notch service so we decided to stay all night! Definitely our go-to spot in Glasgow for a fabulous evening. Thanks so much team! Xx

Had a lovely evening in here. Great food and atmosphere with first class service. Will definitely be back!

Service awful food not great wouldn't go back

Recommend. Nice location. Tasty food and cocktails.

We booked two booths for our friend's graduation night. Some of us arrived early and were let in, but the rest of the group, including the graduate, arrived a little later-within 25 minutes-and were told by one of the bouncers that they couldn't enter without standing in the queue, which wasn't moving at all because the venue was already overcrowded. We explained that we had paid for two tables and a drinks package. The drinks had already been delivered to one of the tables, but we couldn't fill it since the rest of our group wasn't allowed in, and random people were sitting at our table with the drinks we paid for. The bouncer repeatedly interrupted me, saying, "Let me explain this to you," in an arrogant and rude manner, refusing to listen to what I was trying to say. Thankfully, the two women at the door were absolute gems and swiftly resolved the situation, but the bouncer could definitely use an attitude check.

I was asked by the door staff where I had been that night (not being from Glasgow) I said what's its name again to my friend and was told i had had too much allready and wouldn't be allowed in! We'd had 3 drinks!! Very very poor!!! Can't help but think if we had half the clothes on we'd be allowed in like those stumbling in before us! Rude and not appropriate, dampener on my visit to Glasgow as well as my friends who had flown in to experience the city.

Had two cocktails here. The pornstar martini was watery and the negroni was very syrupy. There is no table service so you have to order at the bar.

It was busy but Cara looked after us. Great service and personality. The manager was the most happy, positive person I have ever come across. A gentleman. Burger was class. Will be back

The security guards were two men and when he saw my skin color he started shouting before I could speak to him, we are tourists from Dubai who come here not to be humiliated

First time visiting the social. great food. cocktails were amazing.

Music was great barmen we're a great, security were vigilant help over was exceptional

Stayed at the social and had a self service breakfast two mornings. The variety of food was fantastic but a couple of elements of quality let it down, firstly hot buffet food was not hot enough and some options tasted quite stale. Berries provided were frozen and still frozen which wasn't enjoyable first thing in the morning. Coffee was acceptable but unfortunately was machine delivered and not the same as receiving fresh coffee in a pot. Staff were efficient and overall friendly.

Mohammed the bouncer was extremely rude to my partner saying “she is getting pumped inside “ while my partner was outside. Of course this ended in an altercation which I guess Mohammed would have expected. This is extremely unprofessional as a bouncer and pulls the respect for Social to bottom tier. He should be fired and will be reported to S.I.A.

Nice spot for some appetizers and cocktails. There was a bachelorette party taking cocktail class, it looked like so much fun. The atmosphere was off the charts.

Very nice ambience, nice bar, attractively designed interior, Drinnie-friendly service outside - you order and pay online. Special and unusual drinks menu, the menu is also more inspired than boring. But it wasn't easy to find anything straight away. The service was very friendly, everyone we dealt with.

Our pizza & loaded fries were delicious. Food & drink were good value. The service was excellent and our waitress, Isabella, very attentive. Would definitely recommend.

Rude staff !! We ordered a bottle of wine at £26.95 But they wanted to charge £32 we questioned this it came down a little We then pointed out the price of wine on the menu the staff member said it was for the service charge !!!!! of course we refused to pay this not only was the wine glasses dirty but we had to clear the dirty glasses from the dirty table before we sat down

Ava was amazing! Such a great bar tender. Made drinks really fast and was very attentive
