The Social Cocktail Lounge — Restaurant in Winter Haven

Review of The Social Lounge

The Social Lounge is a hidden gem that truly captures the essence of a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere. Stepping inside, you're greeted the nostalgic charm of a vintage jukebox and industrial vibe creating an inviting space that feels both relaxed and lively. The drinks here are impressive; they craft cocktails that are not only delicious but also thoughtfully presented, making every sip a delightful experience.

One of the highlights of this bar is its commitment to keeping things fresh and exciting. Whether it’s live music, karaoke nights, or unique special menus, there's always something happening that brings the community together. The staff can vary, but Justin provides top-notch service that enhances the experience, while other new faces may come and go some are still be finding their footing, leading to occasional slow service. However, this inconsistency is often overshadowed by the overall charm of the place. And the stronger bartender

While the space is somewhat limited, the way it's utilized is commendable, creating an intimate lounge vibe that encourages conversation and connection. For those who smoke, there’s outdoor seating available, which is a nice touch for guests looking to enjoy the fresh air.

There are exciting rumors about the potential addition of a second floor, which many patrons, including myself, are eagerly anticipating. This could open up new possibilities for events and gatherings, further enhancing the experience. Additionally, there were whispers of a pizza place next door, and while the building is visible, it’s not open yet. The hope is that this will also come to fruition soon giving a bit to eat after a nice round of drinks

Overall, The Social Lounge is a delightful spot to unwind, offering a unique atmosphere, great drinks, and a lively calendar of events. It's definitely worth a visit for anyone looking for a...

Today's experience was definitely out of the normal. We had great service with A.MA. she was friendly and attentive. We paid our tab with her since she was leaving so she could get her tip. Upon her shift change we had 2 more servers who came on shift. They charged us for our previous 2 drinks and added them to new tab. We explained that we paid previous drinks to server who left. They lied and said my husband ordered twice the drinks with them and refused to take them off our tab. We feel since we were ordering "bougie" drinks according to staff they felt they could lie about how many we have had and charge us for them. They were rude and made it seem as if we were lying. We have always spoke nothing but good things about this place until today. It was obvious that they they took it upon themselves to judge what we could afford based on our drink of choice. I feel they thought we were drunk or stupid. We knew exactly how much we ordered and drank. Yet we were ripped off. I'm waiting for owner to call me back to address...

Had a wonderful 90s hip hop and RnB themed 40th bday celebration for my sister and everyone from management to the excellent service from the bartenders made the night amazing! Thank you all! The space was made available for us to drop any items off early to store in the back or use their freezer even with them being open through the day as well as allowed us to decorate. Also, helped navigate any others that happen to not see that it was a private event on there site or thru text for us, which I know some were unhappy but they made sure we had no worries and it all was appreciated! Drinks were great the space was great and the Dj was great! Thanks again to each of you. I would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to have an...
