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.

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

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.

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!

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

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

Had great time on Halloween

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.

Venue is small, but it is awesome to get that close to the bands. Loved this place and would visit again. Great experience!

Great intimate venue. If your favorite band plays there dont miss it.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

Great small place for bands together acquainted with their fans

Nice play to go dance if you are hispanic lol

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!

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!

Its very small HOWEVER, super intimate. Gave my girls up close and personal experience with a band they love. Gnash

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

Ive been here to see BJ the Chicago Kid and Bas on another occasion. Its next door to The Beacham. Its a small intimate spot to catch a show.

Great intimate spot to see live music!!

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.

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.

Great venue. We went there to see the church and got up close and personal.. very nice

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

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.

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!

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

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 place is small. If you are short, get there early so you can get a good spot. Very intimate. It is standing room only.

Had an excellent time and the bartenders are on point!!

Saw the Australian band The Church put on an amazing concert in such a small place!

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

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.

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.

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.

Great, intimate place with some incredible bands coming through. Some of the best bartenders in Orlando.

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!

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.

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.

Love the specially priced deals during certain week days. Taco Tuesday is a must!

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.

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

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

Great venue. Courteous staff. Will definitely be going again!

Great intimate venue to catch national acts

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!

Great venue! Bar staff was fast and friendly.

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.

Great, intimate, historic venue, but Im afraid youre just too darn loud.

Great venue, small but plenty of dancing room. Friendly staff.

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

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.

I always have fun seeing new bands here.

Great place to see a show. One of my favorite venues in town!

Big improvement since last time Ive there. So much cleaner and thanks God no smoking.

It’s okay, just realize it’s a small venue. There is very limited seating which sucks for us old guys with finicky backs and knees.

Nice place, good sound

Great space for concerts and chill vibes..love love

Cool venue to see a show.

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.

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.

Always a great time at the social

We just saw JD McPherson and his band. Badass show in an amazing venue!!

One of my top favorite venues of all time!

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.

Bartenders are only trained for the most basic drinks and arent even allowed to make a classic long island... Its a premixed lemonade tasting drink

Excellent layout, great drinks. Best place to see your favorite band in Orlando!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Gtreat venue love the remodel... love it to watch live bands

Great live music venue! Recent renovations that made nice improvements to bar and rest rooms.

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.

Great small venue for all kinds of concerts

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.

AMAZING venue. Nice staff too. I highly recommend The Social.

Great club, Danielle, the bartender, was amazing and on the top!!

Decent drink prices and it leads to multiple bars. Try it out if youre in the Downtown Orlando area!

One of my favorite concert venues. Great acoustics, close bar and the setup gives an up close feel to the music

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

Great place to see concerts

Pretty cool place. I went for a metal show, but the pit wasnt big enough. Still haven some pretty bangin people there.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great small venue with great talent

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.

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

Vibe was nice & the DJ played good 90s RnB

Such a fun spot to hang out with your friends whether a favorite band is playing or youre just looking to relax

Saw Pianos Become the Teeth. Great acoustics!

Smallish place but very cool place to vibe out...

Pretty nice place but a little too crowded for my taste...

On of the best venues in town to see live shows. Intimate but larger room with good sound and stiff drinks.

Orlandos #1 intimate concert venue. My favorite place to catch a show for 15+ years!
