Situated in Bedford Place on the ground floor of 21 Lower Banister St, The Social is the latest addition to Southampton’s changing nightlife scene. In the recent past, the building now occupied by The Social was home to RoXX (upstairs) and Aura (downstairs) and for a very brief time Attik (upstairs) and Home (downstairs).

With a number of Southampton’s venues closing down or facing an uncertain future in recent months, the launch of a new venue is just what the city needs. The Social is a dive bar offering a laid back vibe with a distinct, stripped back aesthetic, exposed brickwork and well stocked bar, all arranged with a touch of contemporary style. Launching this weekend with a bespoke cocktail menu, a fine selection of craft beers, and a full food menu to follow, The Social has the potential to make a real impact.
