We recently hosted our son's rehearsal dinner for 40 guests at The Social Hall and could not have been happier with the experience. Since we were planning the event from out of town, having a team we could trust was incredibly important -- and Bailey and the entire staff handled everything flawlessly. Even the decorations were set up beautifully and exactly as we had hoped. The food was excellent, the staff was friendly and attentive, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. A special thank you to Bailey, the Event Coordinator, who was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She was organized, responsive, and made everything feel easy and stress-free leading up to the event and the night of the dinner. The highlight was definitely the Rafter Room -- it was even more impressive in person than in the pictures. The space had a great atmosphere for a rehearsal dinner and made the evening feel really special for our family and guests. Highly recommend The Social Hall for anyone looking to host a private event in Tempe. read more

Visiting Tempe for a music festival. This was our first spot and let me tell you it was perfect. Great cocktails and an extensive food menu. The service was fast and our waiter was great. We ordered quite a bit of food, but it was all really good and fresh, not greasy at all! I would recommend the Brussels to share because they give you a bunch! No complaints here read more

Visited for happy hour on Friday with a friend. The presentation of the food was gorgeous, but unfortunately the taquitos were the only standout for me. The mac & cheese had good flavor, but the cheese sauce was extremely runny--more liquid than sauce. The nachos were also a miss: all the toppings were piled on top with nothing layered through the middle or bottom, and most of the chips underneath were broken, which made them difficult to eat. The ambiance was fun and laid-back with games and activities, making it a great spot to socialize. However, if I were rating the food alone, it was a miss for me. read more

The front entrance felt magical with the strings of lights creating such a fun and inviting atmosphere. The food and service were both good, and they had plenty of options for everyone to enjoy. One of the best parts was that they also had games for adults, which made it feel like more than just a place to eat. Definitely a fun one stop spot for food, drinks, and entertainment. read more

We went for happy hour, Chase helped us at the bar he was great! We had some chips/queso/guac/salsa and a steak teriyaki taco, the foods good! The drinks were good, skee ball is free with your ID at the host stand, it's a cool vibe we'll go back! read more

Never trust this place with group reservations! I called to confirm a reservation specifically asking to be inside and they shared they would accommodate no problem. 3 hours before the reservation Shannon Kent called to confirm and reconfirmed seating would be inside. We get there with 15 guests and of course they gave away our revelation. Don't trust this place! They will give away your table! read more

Social Hall, if I were to sum up my experience in 1 sentence, an effortlessly laidback night with friends alongside enjoyable dishes we'll order for the next visit. To start off, you walk into a very open multi-section patio with space for 50-60 people to sit and stand, with games already set out like Jenga to play outdoors of the restaurant and inside there's a few arcade games that are free to play as well. My party was greeted with very welcoming and playful energy from the servers and front desk which set the mood off to an upbeat and fun vibe. From 4 people who enjoy good food, try them out for a slightly sweet teriyaki marinated steak that is cooked just right for tacos in my opinion. If you're a meat lover, 100% recommend the Ribeye because the chimichurri only complements and enhances the meat flavor rather than overtaking in my past experiences elsewhere. Another highlight was their Zero Proof drinks if you just want something tasty with no mind altering, try out the lavender lemonade for a subtly fruity noted lemonade with the essence of lavender. To wrap up my thoughts, don't come here alone if you can help it! read more

This place is really cool. We had our holiday party here. The outside seating was perfect and had plenty of room for all of us. The food they presented for us was awesome and a great selection. The staff was absolutely amazing to deal with. Will come back now and enjoy the place with the family. read more

First time here and I'm obsessed! This restaurant is so big and has numerous different areas for seating! They also have a bunch of games to play and they are all free! We had so much fun playing skee ball! We sat at the bar are the bartenders were really friendly and helpful with questions on the menu! I had the Mexican bowl and my friend the tinga tacos. Both items were super flavor filled and good sized so you definitely won't be left hungry! Everything that came out of the kitchen looked delicious. Can't wait to come back here and play more games! This would be a great location to have an event at! read more

After the Yelpies evemt I had to go back for more. This place is so fun and lively. The staff members are great too. I made it for happy hour tonight with my sister and Sonia was our waitress. She was very helpful and made sure to confirm our order to make sure she put it in correctly. April also stopped by our table and was awesome. She made us feel right at home with superb hospitality. I ordered the nachos with no roasted corn or beans, but added chicken. These were so good and the portion was enough for two people. It was a mountain of nachos that I tore up. Eerything about them was on point. I aslo ordered bbq wings, but I was so full from the nachos I just had to take them to go. I'm looking forward to chexcking out the covered patio that's an enclosed outside game area with pool tables, giant Jenga, and ping-pong. Looks so fun. So glad I have a new Tempe hangout. read more

Amazing service! Good food ambiance is amazing. I love the games outside and inside. The whole restaurant feels very lively.

My friend and I were looking for a place to hang out in and let me tell ya'... this place was CRACCCKINN' LOL Parking was near impossible but was unsure if it was due to a company event that was being hosted there (funny enough, I think it was a Yelp company event haha!). It's nice to know that you can host events.. but just a heads up that even though the parking lot is HUGE, parking may be a little difficult if an event is being hosted here. This is basically an adult playground.. you have drinks, the vibe is great, you have a tiny arcade area, billiards, ping pong, etc.! The food here is GREAT.. actually, it was larger than my friend and I expected so we got full fairly quick hahaha. It took awhile to get seated but I'm assuming it's because of how busy all the employees were with the event going on! Either way, our waitress was great and very attentive. The food and drinks came out quick, and they definitely went above and beyond! I would visit again to re-experience it on a day when it's less crazy. read more

My cousin had her baby sprinkle here last Saturday and this place did not disappoint. We were a party of 8 and they accommodated us very quickly sat us out on the patio. We were put in the shade, seated under umbrellas, and the misters were turned on for us. We had one server the entire time and he was friendly and attentive. We all ordered drinks and food. I ordered the Pollo Asado entrée and a jam packed Capri sun. The jam packed Capri sun was my fave as it cold, sweet, and had the right amount of alcohol. My food was delicious! The grilled chicken was flavorful and grilled perfectly. The risotto was the right consistency and tasted perfectly with the chicken. The broccolini and asparagus were al dente and also well seasoned. Everyone enjoyed their food and service. Checks can only be spilt three ways for big groups! Will be back! read more

Came here on a whim to get some cocktails. This place is nice! So much outdoor seating with fire pits. The inside was super cool, gives a slight bob to the speak easy vibes. Drinks were tasty and loved playing all the games. There was pool, ping pong, jenga, darts, shuffle board and more! Would definitely like to return for food too. read more

Food and all around vibe were amazing. I love the fact that the games are free (darts, ski ball and arcade games!) We were there with about 4 other tables, and the server seemed to be very very flustered. Our order came out incorrect but everything worked out just fine (things were missing and wrong) 4 stars for the service but the place itself is awesome and we would all return!

Appetizers are wonderful. They were out of the ribs special. Atmosphere and vibe is good. Drinks were good except some weird flavor in the espresso martini. Amaretto? Margarita with Habanero bitters was tasty and hot. Brisket on miscellaneous but not as a single item. The brisket is bomb. But can we order just the brisket? Dart boards. Pool. Table tennis. Foosball. Large space and outdoor areas are fantastic. read more

Social Hall lives up to its name! This is a great place to meetup with friends to catch a game or just hang out a bit. Located near the NEC of McClintock and University, it's easy to miss if you're not familiar with the nondescript building. The main entrance is tucked behind another building. Once you've entered, you'll find a large outdoor patio as well as a covered space to relax. If you prefer A/C, the indoor dining area has plenty of seating (and maybe a second floor with even more). Our server was super friendly and attentive. He answered all our questions and happily accommodated one of my friend's special dietary needs. After our order arrived, he checked back twice to ensure all was good ... and it was! We ordered a variety of bottled beer and mixed drinks. I requested the Jammed Packed Capri Sun based solely on the name, given it "brought me back" to my childhood. I audibly giggled when it arrived in a plastic bag with a straw perched inside. So cute! It was fruity and flavorful, just as I expected it would be ... adult style, of course. I also opted for the Buffalo Mac. I didn't expect much, but may I just say "Wow"! The melted pepper Jack made this dish! It was smooth and creamy, making it a cohesive dish instead of a bowl full of individual ingredients. Delish! My friends ordered Bourbon Brisket and El Chapo burgers with (regular and sweet potato) fries and they were just as enamored. Prices at Social Hall aren't cheap, but they are competitive. Given the overall experience, I'd return in a heartbeat. read more

Super cool place to hang. First off, there is a great outdoor area that is quiet for chatting with friends, but has a nice ambience. Food choices are pretty good and the servers are very nice. After eating, you can enjoy all kinds of arcade games for free, ping pong, and other game. Parking is ample and kids can go. Good idea for a date too! read more

Fun place with exceptional food. Free games to play. Plenty of Drink choices. Like the outdoor area of games too.

We drop in here periodically for the fun ambience around happy hour. This time my friend decided to try their house cocktail Barrel Old Fashion, and she said it did not disappoint! They have a very cool list of their signature house cocktails. I would recommend trying one! We decided on some apps, so I got the vegetarian tacos and my friend the mesquite smoked Brussel Sprouts. Both were amazing! Check out Social Hall when in Tempe! It has so much to offer! read more

Great Fun but Beware added fees. We had a work happy hour here and the atmosphere was great and the service was friendly. 2 Reasons Social Hall does not get 5/5 1) From 4pm when it opens to around 6 it was great and then at some point it turned into Chuck E Cheese vibe and there were kids running around everywhere in the couch area we were sitting at the back in. Not sure if it's like this often or just happened to be a high volume family night. 2) We did not have table service we ordered everything up from the bar which we were fine with as we were all paying separately anyway. The odd thing was the bartenders, great as they were, added an automatic 18% service charge to SOME of our tabs with no rhyme or reason. Half of us had more than double tipped and half didn't have the charge??? At the end of the day being someone that worked in the service industry for 10+ years growing up I just have never experienced 18% being added to a single persons tab when you are getting your own drinks from the bar? I suppose it's a lesson to me to look much closer at my bill prior to tipping. Several from our party were paying in cash and it makes me wonder if it was being added on every time to their tabs as well. Is the service charge for the "free games" is it because the bartenders thought we were not going to tip them? Not sure but just be aware. read more

Highly recommend Social Hall! We held a corporate event at Social Hall in Tempe, AZ and it was everything we were looking for. They have space to fit any size group. We used the Covered Patio and it was perfect. The food was amazing and the Staff went above and beyond for us. Social Hall earned a permanent spot at the top of my venues! read more

Great drinks and service, fun games to play while you wait! Dylan was fantastic, will be back

This is my second visit and second review. Upon walking in, we were sat pretty quickly. It was a booth right in front of the bar as it was a little chilly outside. It took 10 minutes before someone casually strolled by and said someone will be right with you. No problem. 10 minutes later and waitress arrives with menus and says she'll be right back with waters. That's okay. We go over the menu's and 5 minutes later she appears and we place our orders. The food was delivered within a decent normal time frame for the amount that was ordered. The food was fantastic! I cannot stress this enough. It's what brought me back for a second round. The steak was cooked perfectly. The veggies were just crisp enough and seasoned well. The Brussel sprouts were delicious and something new. The wings were good too. Overall, I was super happy with the food. The server disappeared and we had all the plates stacked and waited patiently as we watched server after server pass. I mean it was so obvious that we were done, even the bartender kept making eye contact with our table. Finally our server stopped by and asked if we needed to go boxes. She came back very quickly with the to go boxes but disappeared for 25 MINUTES. We sat there waiting and waiting until I finally had enough. We had no drinks and our table was cleared but she never brought us the check. I walked up to the host stand and stood there looking weird and out of place for 5 minutes. So many servers walked past me and didn't even acknowledge me so I could ask someone for my check. I felt like I was being punk'd. Finally she comes out of the side door behind the hostess stand and was like "Oh, I was just heading to your table." I advised her that we have been waiting for her for a very long time. Her response was then kind of cold and thank you come again. I'd still recommend Social Hall for the food alone, but if your server is slow speak up quicker than I did. Cheers to the cooks here! read more

I booked the Rafter Room for my Roaring Retirement Party. It was absolutely amazing! Working with Bailey to coordinate the night was seamless. The communication was spot on, and I felt at ease with how the evening would go. We added our own touches to decorate the space and brought in a DJ for the party. The event space was perfect for the theme as the Rafter Room reminded me of a Speak Easy. The food was outstanding, and the staff was super friendly and attentive during my party. I would highly recommend the Social Hall for any upcoming event. I had about 40 guests that have all expressed how awesome things looked and how delicious the food tasted. I was so pleased with how my retirement party turned out and to see all my friends, family and co-workers all having such a great time!!! Thanks for helping all of us have a Roaring Good Time!!! read more

I was in search of a place to have a birthday party for my son's 19th birthday. We had 30 people. I live in CA and have never been to Tempe, so my research was all online with Yelp and the restaurant's websites. I chose the Social Hall for the food options, reviews, games, location, and price of meals. I emailed them to see if they would be a good fit for us. Bailey was quick to respond and circled back around to me each time I took a while to respond. At first, we thought we'd like the private room upstairs, but that was only offered with a minimum spend, and since the kids are young and don't drink alcohol, that wouldn't work for us. They accommodated us with outside tables on the patio. When we arrived, we were greeted at the front by our friendly server, Dylan. He was understanding that some of our party was delayed and assured me that it was not a problem. The atmosphere and service were top-notch. A lot of us ordered the rib-eye steak with corn risotto and veggies. It was sooo good! I always appreciate it when servers use seat numbers for everyone's orders and don't auction off plates of food. They gave us pitchers of water, which was also appreciated. Having the games to play in between eating and after was more than perfect. We were all pleased with the quality and quantity of our meals. When I walked around the restaurant, everyone looked like they were enjoying themselves as much as we were. Kudos to the owners, managers, and employees for running such a nice establishment. *Disclaimer* I was a career waitress for many years. So I do know what a special place is when I see it. read more
