The atmosphere and drinks were great, but what made our experience spectacular was our bartender, Chirag. My fiancé and I were celebrating our new engagement at ROSO, and Chirag went out of his way to make our night memorable. He was attentive, hilarious, and incredibly kind. A huge, genuine thank you to him for making our experience at ROSO so special. We'll definitely be back :) read more

So was out this way and stopped in because it always been on my list of things to do. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Stopped in for a drink or two, but stayed a little bit longer for the music and The vibes. I was there on a weekend night, and it was super chill and had a really good performance situation happening on stage. This one is a little bit weird because you have to do certain things to be able to get in. It's not like it's an escape room situation, but at the same time, it's a little active. Not overly active to where you would be taxed when you get there. But you have to go follow some instructions and once you get in it's all gravy! There's a lot of space for table so you can sit in front of the stage or you can sit in the back or the bar is which is also very pristinely kept. Or their ceas behind that. And there's even a bowl of alley somewhere in the cut. It is a really really good spot. The entertainment was on point. They were playing a lot of hits, lot of old school which I appreciate it. Loved it. The drinks were fired. The bartender had a lot of personality and it was super engaging. Just what you want from Superior customer service. I would 101% go back. It was a lot of fun and a really good vibe. We just happened to walk in off of humbug, but I actually might remember reservations next time. Actually sit in the crowd to enjoy the music. Loved it. read more

This was my wife and I's first time at Roaring Social. I honestly didn't know what I was going to expect upon coming. I knew it was like a speakeasy kind of place, but that's all I knew. Upon arriving, we were asked if we knew the secret passcode. I didn't realize we needed to know a passcode, but the guy gave us some hints, and we eventually got it. We were instructed to go downstairs with a paper slip and "deposit" it into a deposit box downstairs. Upon doing this, we were granted access inside! It was pretty cool honestly! We sat at the bar upon arriving and ordered some drinks. They have a really nice drink menu with different cocktails and all the other liquors. They also have a full food menu too. Some people around us got food, and honestly, it looked really good! Our bartender Joey, was awesome! He was friendly and answered some of our questions about the drinks. He even made us espresso martini shots!! Hats off to Joey! The vibes inside are very prohibition-y. They had live music when we went, and I think they have live music most days during the week too. Roaring Social is located in downtown Decatur, so not too far of a walk from many other shops/bars/restaurants. We ubered, so I am not too familiar with parking, but I think there are parking garages nearby and street parking. I would definitely come back here in the future! read more

Did a triple date here recently with friends, and had a nice time! When you walk in, you are greeted by a host who confirms your reservation and escorts you to what looks like a bank vault downstairs. You slide a "deposit slip" with your reservation information into a fake bank drawer and another host behind the vault is supposed to let you in. It was kinda cool to be honest lol. Once you enter the actual restaurant, you can see the "roaring 20s" theme throughout, from the servers' outfits, to the old black and white paintings on the wall. We sat in the bowling alley area, which was a nice separation from the other part of the restaurant. We ended up coming on a Thursday evening, which is apparently karaoke night with a live band. I love karaoke but opted not to participate this time. As a table we ordered a variety of items. I got roasted brussel sprouts and a cheeseburger with a side caesar salad. The food was good, but not too memorable. I think I want to come back when they have a live jazz band and sit in the other part of the restaurant. Overall, the service and atmosphere at Roaring Social were great, and I would recommend others give it a visit. read more

My girlfriends and I dressed up for a cocktails, dinner, and music at Roaring Social-Decatur. When we arrived, there was no line, however we were quickly greeted by the host and he even took some nice photos of us. Our server was friendly and our food/drinks arrived quickly. The live music artist, Jacob Blazer, was so entertaining and talented too. We will return again. read more

This place was amazing! I can very much see this place being the to-go for folks celebrating something or just go have a good time! It definitely has the speakeasy situation down pat as you need a password and some other items before you actually go in. The space and ambiance is amazing; all the staff was very friendly and my drink was magnificent! I had a smoked old fashioned and I don't think I have ever been asked about how much I want my old fashion smoked but it was very good! I cannot wait to go back on purpose (as this visit was very random). read more

This place is everything that other speakeasy spots WANT to be. Met up with friends on a Saturday evening. Live music was great, not too loud so you can actually HEAR conversation. Menu offerings were pretty tasty and "normal" enough for the pickiest of eaters. Drinks and table side service were even BETTER! We all agreed that we will return again. read more

Chris (treble) is the funniest and most reliable bartender. He's so attentive and the atmosphere is that of obviously the 1920s. If you have to ask you don't know. The food is delicious but the drinks are even better. Chris makes the most delicious drinks and I definitely recommend coming here. Oooh ohhh oahhhh. read more

This new speakeasy in downtown Decatur is truly one of a kind! The prohibition 1920s theme came through in the various decor and actors/staff. Entering the speakeasy was pretty easy even though we realized we didn't know the password. Once we realized we needed to "make a deposit", we were led to a replica bank room and into the bar. The vibe was really cool! Lots of interactive opportunities such as bowling and a photo booth. The food and drinks were a little slow to come out, even with not many people visiting. The food itself was yummy! The steak was tender and well seasoned. Wish the sauce came on the side because it wasn't my favorite. The music was also very loud and didn't really match the aesthetic of the place in my opinion, but did have a good vibe to it! Overall, I think they're still settling in, but would love to try it out again sometime in the future! read more

What a fantastic spot! New to Decatur this location is in the heart of Decatur. The check in is a process in itself( you are given a key which would have to use to open an assigned locker that opens the door to let you in ). The ambience is fantastic! Live music, amazing food, great service... overall a must try! read more

The small bites were very good and drinks to accommodate refreshing! Ambiance is absolutely amazing! My bartender was extremely attentive! I will definitely be back for sure and rotate between the Decatur (this visit and review) and Alpharetta locations!! A freaking "crazysexycool" evening and beautiful people enjoying their lives!!! read more

Really cool entrance that really felt like a speakeasy! Service was quick and friendly! We got a few drinks and some appetizers to try. The fries were really good! We decided to try out the bowling, def should've checked it out before paying cause it was small balls and pins. Not actual bowling. The balls also kept getting stuck and we had to ask for assistance twice. The photobooth also wasn't working. read more

My new favorite Thursday night Karoake spot. The band is great and so is every single person working here. They're all super warm and attentive. I always have a good time and the food is really tasty. I look forward to trying them out on a weekend. read more

My wife and I visited Roaring Social for an early dinner at 5:30 pm on a Friday. The restaurant was nearly empty with just one other couple there. The Good: The entrance experience is fantastic. They've clearly put thought and effort into the bank vault theme, and walking through that vault door really sets the stage. The interior has a nice lounge vibe with comfortable couches and areas that would work well for larger groups. The steak frites special was genuinely delicious. The steak was tender with a lovely chimichurri salsa, and the fries with garlic aioli were fantastic. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, which we appreciated. The Not-So-Good: Unfortunately, the theming breaks down once you're past that impressive entrance. There are two TV screens and a large stage with a big screen behind it that clash with the speakeasy concept. The contemporary music doesn't help, and during our visit, a band was doing mic checks and practice for an evening performance (they typically start after 7:00 pm). My wife and I had to nearly shout to hear each other at times, which isn't what I expect from a speakeasy atmosphere. The cocktails were just okay. Their smoked old fashioned lacked any sweetness and came across as too strong. The charcuterie board was disappointing--the only cheese appeared to be pre-packaged cubes you'd find at any grocery store, and it came with crispy, cracker-like bread instead of the naan advertised on the menu. Overall: Roaring Social has potential, especially if you're going with a larger group and aren't expecting an intimate, quiet speakeasy experience. But between the broken theming and the noise level, it's not somewhere I'm rushing back to anytime soon.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

We spent New Year's Eve at Roaring Social Decatur and overall it was a fun, high-energy night. The atmosphere was festive, the band was excellent, the music and dancing were on point, and the countdown felt like a real celebration. From an entertainment perspective, they absolutely delivered. There was a service hiccup that night around food timing and execution. It wasn't ideal, especially for a ticketed event--but what mattered most was how it was handled afterward. Within hours of sharing feedback, CEO Neal Freeman personally reached out, took full accountability, and clearly explained what went wrong and what's already been implemented to make sure it doesn't happen again. No excuses, no defensiveness--just transparency and ownership. Because of that response, we're confidently coming back--and bringing friends. We already plan to return in February for another live band night and are genuinely looking forward to it. Mistakes happen. Leadership and follow-through are what matter. Roaring Social handled this the right way and earned our trust. Would absolutely return. read more

As a native resident of Decatur, I had no idea this place existed. If you're on the prowl for a hidden gem in downtown Decatur, Roaring Social is your golden ticket -- minus the bathtub gin (though their cocktails come close). This place totally nails the 1920s speakeasy vibe, and walking in feels like you've unlocked a secret vault: sultry lighting, comfy sofas, and whispers of "what's the password again?" in the best possible way. Talk about chill and classy. The velvet-draped lounges and dramatic stage for live music really transport you back in time. Even better -- in the back there's a boutique bowling alley so you can casually lob a ball between sips of your cocktail. Whether you came to whisper sweet nothings or loudly cheer when someone bowls a strike, it's got the perfect balance of laid-back and luxe. read more

We had a great time at the live band open mic night. The venue was super swanky and relaxed. The food was pretty good, especially the double smash burger, which I gave a 8/10. The drinks were also good, and I had a nice non-alcoholic pinapple drink. The service was quick and our server was friendly. read more

Love the theme and esthetics! Cute prohibition era speakeasy type bar constructed from an old bank post war. Great time piece collections as decor. Bands, bar, bowling, big screens, attire. The place is new. We hope it takes off. The GM was very sweet in taking care of us for our friends birthday on the Sunday industry night. It's a little more relaxed. Heads up. Food was delicious! Must try! read more

Went for the first 11/22/25 , had know ideal what yo expect , but live bad. From walking in getting directions down stairs to secret code to be told what door to come though. Music,food drinks. Will our bartender was excellent . He took non alcoholic beverage and made it into alcoholic beverage with the right floral notes.. Will be back with reservations this time. read more

Super fun experience! Went with a work group and loved how we entered the speakeasy and immediately the vibe. Drinks were great, dessert was great, food was good to great, and loved the vibes. Music sometimes didn't match the vibe but it was still a fun night! All the servers were kind and accommodating. read more

Had a great night at roaring social. This place is under appreciated so far. Great music and vibe. Definitely worth the trip when a great party band is playing. Pro Tip: the Margharita pizza is better here than at the Alpharetta location. read more
