The Social Description
Book a table at The Social
What were we thinking? Or The Plan Back then, in 1999, our plan was pretty simple. We were stuck. We had nowhere to drink, nowhere to call home from home. We had spent the last few years running club nights, spending every Saturday night on the dancefloors and in the corridors of Turnmills in London’s then quiet Clerkenwell area. Then spending every weekday in the recovery position, moving from s**t house pub to crappy lifeless bar.
Nowhere seemed to play any decent music, every pub was either a pit or had been buffed up with all the same details that every gastro pub in London had, down to
Since then, partly due to the workload that has come with the continued rise of Heavenly recordings and partly due to a high level of perfectionism by all involved (ok, we are lazy), there has only been one more Social opened, also in London (Islington).

“If you don't like music, don't visit The Social because they like it cool and they like it loud, very loud. Thank goodness for the cosy little booths (perfect for squeezing up close to one another). Just make sure you like the person(s) you're sat next to because they're the only people you'll be able to talk to. Unless you want to shout. Decent range of bottled beers and a MASSIVELY popular hip-hop karaoke downstairs. Rad!”

“The social is a good place not the best but a very good. It’s chilled and not pretentious. One thing I did find was that it was filled with a high percentage of architects. The drinks are good value, the bottled cider is great, having been to Saint and Jeruselam i was a little dissapointed in the cocktails. didnt try the food so cant comment on it. The music on the night was not to my tastes but I can definitely see why this place gets busy in the evenings.”
