My friends & I came out this Labor Day weekend to support the Nupe Event and arrived at the Social House for the 1st time. It was a small little hidden gem, nice patio area with seating & a super fun Jenga game to play (of course a few of my friends obliged). The bartenders we met were all very nice, personable & kept our glasses fun. One bartender even let me try a new drink which he called an "adult Capri sun." I don't know the full recipe of what he put in that pouch but, let me just say, I plan to ask next time as that was best mixed drink I've tasted in a club in a verryyy longtime! See you again soon. read more

Social House - Fun times at the Social House - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This place needs to clean up after themselves. Parking lots littered with food and empty alcohol bottles. People drink and litter before going inside. Watch where you step. You might cut your feet. read more

We stopped in with our party of 4 for a late 2 PM lunch on a Friday upon arriving into Fredericksburg. The server was friendly, but way too overworked and service was very slow. Split the large Mediterranean pizza And thought it was tasty but I was surprised that this thin crust style pizza had a little bit more to to it than expected. The pizza was flavorful but nothing memorable. Unfortunately it came out rather lukewarm to make matters worse. The sandwiches sounded great so I might opt for a sandwich next time. read more

Charging a 20$ cover fee on a Saturday when there's only like 10 people in there is kind of crazy better off going to homeroom or tipsy

Cool spot. Social House is a bar with a club feel. They have good drinks and a cool staff. The rear patio area is decorated like a residential backyard. Overall a cool spot, I would visit again. read more

I wish I would've gotten pictures to insert. But my friends and I went here to celebrate halloweekend and it was an amazing time! They have an outdoor and indoor place which was nice to have the option on where you wanted to spend time. I also wish I would've gotten the names of the bartenders because they were extremely sweet unlike other bars! Now the music, we went on a Saturday, and the DJ was playing ALLL the good songs from throw backs, to bad bunny, and country! The environment "vibe" is fun with out being overwhelming, definitely consider this place if you wanna do some casual drinking before a night out! read more

Came on a Friday evening! Very well decorated and beautiful place. Has an inside portion and outside patio with Hookah. Both inside and outside have bars. I would be hesitant to order a speciality cocktail since the bartenders took a long time to make an Aviation and were reading the ingredients off a list. But, other drinks were awesome! They put the punch in a reusable ziploc pouch. Perfect for dancing on the dance floor and avoiding anyone spilling drink on yourself!! Drinks ranged from $6-10. Crowd was good! Overall, the service was great. Drinks are strong. Dance floor is poppin'. No cover. They have valet parking OR can park in the lots next door. Will be back! read more

When somone asks your waitstaff how much for a table (after she kicked them out of the table they were sitting at because someone "bought it") You should be honest & upfront about the price, not just say "Our cheapest bottle is $60" leaving out that fact that it's considered "Bottle service" and costs the ridiculous amount of $340. Your waitress & Manager took advantage of 2 young ladies last night & you should be ASHAMED of yourselves & the thieves you hire. Terrible way to treat customers. read more

Went here with a group of friends after a wedding and the ambiance was fantastic! Loved the vibe and am looking forward to returning.

Didn't like this place too much. They didn't have any inside seating available unless you paid for the VIP section. Our friend's drink was skinned in alcohol. You park in back of the business. If you park where their stupid sign is, you get towed. Not a good experience . read more

This place has gone down hill the past few years, which is probably why they charge a cover now. Place was dead on a Saturday & they charged for cover. read more

Unfortunately I would give zero stars but there isn't an option. We ended up there on my birthday and even paid for VIP/bottle service. The DJ plays the same kind of music and doesn't mix it up at all. The dance floor was practically empty. When I made a song request the DJ said we don't play that "kind" of music here. I only asked for some upbeat 80s music or maybe some Maná. I couldn't even get a song request even for my birthday. :-( read more

Great place for great drink and picking up hot chicks. Manscape yourself, put on some cologne, and head on over. You won't regret it.

I started off having a decent enough time: somewhat overpriced drinks but a nice atmosphere. But then a fight broke out next to me. I didn't realize this was the sort of trashy place to have frequent bar fights on the dance floor. It broke out right next to me and a bouncer thought I was a part of it and kicked me out - honest enough mistake, and that situation is so chaotic you can't really blame them for erring on the side of caution on their part - but then, after carrying me out of the bar, this bouncer decided to rough me up in the parking lot to drive his point home and punched me in the face a couple times. So be careful, standing in the wrong spot at the wrong time in this place might get you kicked out, ruin all your clothes by getting them covered in blood and land you with an ER bill for some stitches. read more

The ideal club! Immaculately clean inside and out with an upscale design, great lighting, and warm atmosphere. Friendly staff and doormen who treat you like a VIP, Bartenders who are quick, personable, and learn your name. A great DJ spinning tunes live, and at a volume that gets you to dance, but allows you to hold a conversation. The patrons range in age from mid 20's to 30's and are educated, well dressed, polite, friendly, and respectful of personal space. If I lived in San Antonio, Social House would be my 1st choice every weekend. read more

Social House - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

See all

Great place! I had never been until last night. Bartenders are awesome. I was feeling something with a cucumber taste, but also was feeling like having chamoy. She created a drink for me that was phenomenal. Very chill place. I met the owner last night too. One of the sweetest people. I'll definitely come back. Thanks for a great time! read more

I reserved a VIP table for my party. Eddy who we contacted to make reservation was very pleasant, honest and easy to negotiate. The reservation was painless and easy. We have more than 50 people that went to the club and it was just us and 4 other people easy music but creating a happy atmosphere The hostess was very attentive and provided us service quickly. The attentiveness was amazing from beginning to end. When the DJ arrived - he played great music that we did not stop dancing. I usually request music to play but the DJ was able to read my mind LOl. He played great music. They provided us the bottles we wanted and mix of different kinds including Red Bull. We had several shots- it was cool that they have 2 bars outside of her you can talk and still hear the music. The bar tenders are all great. Thank you for making my birthday memorable. read more

Well, I believe that the right group of people can make your experience anywhere better or worse so I will try to give just the facts on this place...but I did thoroughly enjoy myself here. -It's a little hidden. You have to know where you're going to get here. It's behind a cleaners in a corner...? -It's definitely not a club. It's a lounge. -Bouncers were cool - not douchey like a lot of places in the area -They played hip-hop and house music when I walked in at around 11:30 on a Saturday night. -The drinks were a average size/price for this area but were not very strong. The guys were definitely complaining about the pours. -It's got cool, urban, modern decor and has a cool vibe. All-in-all I enjoyed myself but there was definitely nothing that made this place stand out. I havent been back but would recommend it. read more

Used to frequent this place back when it was Grotto Bar -- always our go-to location when we don't have plans for the night. Went to the grand opening to see revamped decor with the same chill-fun feel. Now, I don't mind casual dress code, especially for my guy friends that don't want to dress up, but c'mon, there were guys in white tees. Maybe anything goes during grand opening, but kind of dampened the stylish vibe. Besides that, there is a great mixed crowd, which is rare to find in SA. Attentive bartenders, specifically outside at the covered patio where we spent most of our night. They also have hookah and great music consisting of EDM to hip-hop. They've always had great bottle service -- hopefully they kept their signature service of complimentary balloons and cupcake! read more

Bartenders overcharged for drinks. They hope people are drunk and they can do whatever they want. We had 3!drinks and they charged us for 8 drinks. Super unprofessional and def never come back. Owner actually took care of the issue. That's how you are supposed to handle things. That's was nice to see that the owner actually cared read more

HORRIBLE. Ever since it changed from the Grotto it went completely downhill. RUDE bartender and staff. Drinks were overpriced and disgusting. Never going back. read more

Great place to enjoy drinks, dance and sit outside in their awesome patio! The service is great and very friendly and the overall decor/set-up definitely does not disappoint. A must try when out in about in Stone Oak! read more

My friends have always been visiting this place so I thought I'd give it a try. Parking sucks. The bar is next to a cleaners which I had to park on the opposite side of the parking lot, which is alright I guess not too far of a walk but... still. Atmosphere is great, they were playing awesome music throughout the night. The vibes and people there were refreshing. Definitely not one of those "ghetto" bars. Our group has bottle service and they definitely made sure we were taken care of. Would recommend this place! read more

Awesome atmosphere! Downfall... the DJ, he switches it up way to much! The minute you get into a song the entire genre changes. It would be One thing if it was the same type of music, but seriously! You can't go from hard core hip hop to EDM! Makes no sense. Needs to learn to transition the music. read more

Beautiful space, decent drinks, casual chic dress code and awesome music. Social House would definitely be my go to place on the weekend if I lived in the SA area. Drinks are slightly above average but worth it for the venue. Coming from NYC one drink could cost $14 so paying $14 for two drinks here brought tears of joy. There seems to be no dress code but I would best describe it as casual chic or pretty simply look presentable. Social House also had the most diverse crowd than other lounges I visited on my trip. The patio is pretty cozy with heat lamps for the cool nights. Patio also has a bar that shares the same POS system as the main bar inside. The music was hands down the best we heard the entire trip. The DJs played a fun mix of pop, hip hop and dance music which is perfect for dancing. Another plus the bottle service appeared professional and upscale. I've been to so many places where bottle service is sloppy, rude and patrons are offered disgusting furniture to sit on after dropping hundreds of dollars. Social House does fill up quickly so try to show up before 11pm to chat and have a couple of drinks. Hopefully Social House remains an upscale evening location and would definitely return here when in San Antonio. The perfect place to have a birthday party and perhaps other special events. Pro tip - Skip the $10 valet parking and use the free parking across the street. Enjoy! read more

All time great experience. The vibe is laid back, professional, and all around awesome. From the drinks, the staff, the music, to the couches and tables. Just total package if you are looking for a great time. The outside is set up with couches, outdoor heaters and great signage. We will definately be going back. read more

Loved everything about this place the bartenders the Dj and the venue. Great dance floor and they even had a patio with a bar. I love places with patios since I smoke. The seating was good and very one was so friendly. read more

What a joke. Waste of time unless you want the $30k millionaires club. Only strip mall I've ever been to that disallowed entry due to attire. Guess I'll stop by the laundromat next door, lol. read more

Night started out fine but then plummeted. Bouncers are way too aggressive. My friend was next to an altercation that broke out into a fight and got kicked out with them. Then the bouncer made things physical to the point where my friend had to get stitches. Not very "social" read more

Man oh man... had me a good ass time here! 5/5 would come again.

I absolutely love this place. The drinks are plush and the hospitality makes you feel like you're a million dollar celebrity. I'll definitely be back to enjoy the lovely atmosphere, top shelf drinks, and dj spinning groovy tunes. Ahhhhhhhh San Antonio I'm finally home. read more

The issue with this place was that when I asked for well drinks they poured top shelf drinks and then threw us out when we disputed the charges. We asked to speak with the manager, but the Manger was immediately combative and had me choked and dragged out when i didn't agree with his policies even though i remained civil. Do not go to this place. read more

I'd been to Social House only twice before and it was always a good experience. The music is good, the drinks are fast and the atmosphere is what you expect in Stone Oak. It's got a fun vibe and you can just go enjoy a drink and chill. The outside area is nice too. It's not too loud that you have to yell and the crowd is a good mixture of people. This past weekend, I mistakenly left my wallet there on the bar and was lucky enough that the honest staff set it aside for me. I reached out via social media and they were so fast to respond and get it back in my hands completely in tact. The staff there is honest and treat everyone so nicely when serving drinks! The owner even went out of his way to make sure I got it back and personally showed up on everyone's day off! I will definitely continue doing business with them when my friends and I go out for drinks. Next time I'll just remember to grab all my stuff! read more

Went on a Saturday, no cover, and it was a mix of house and hip hop. Drinks were priced well and made well-awesome bartenders. The crowd was so so, not sure that it would be my Saturday spot. Very small dance floor and a bit crowded because of that, outside also small. Parking situation was horrible. Be ready to park valet only at $10-kind of silly in my opinion. read more

I went there last Saturday and had so much fun. I don't understand why some reviewers make a big deal about the price of the drinks. They were reasonably priced compared to other bars. The place was packed with great people and great music. Parking was confusing. I paid $5 to park in the back lot behind the Social House. Valet parking is also available. I would highly recommend this place to others and will come again soon. read more

Pleasantly surprised about the renovation. When it was Grotto, it used to be the backup place to go if everything else was dead. A friend who went to the opening told me it was pretty good. The crowd was pretty diverse, good looking and clean cut. Door guy was pretty friendly and getting drinks was pretty fast, (outside) even on a SAT. The main renovations are on the outside patio, and the decor is above average for SA. Not bad. Will definitely come again. read more

Make sure not to wear shorts for men!!! Bouncer guys let in who they want with shorts. So I'm spending my money some where else

Cool place cool atmosphere but HORRIBLE service and waitstaff. The good does not out weigh the bad. Too bad bc this place seems like if they had different staff it would be the go to place for the weekends. read more

This place sucks. Plain and simple... Ok, maybe it's more for couples. But as a single guy, I want to be able to socialize and meet new people... So much for it being "Social House". read more

Have not yet been there and use this app to get a "pre-feel" for a spot.....the majority of negative comes from a money standpoint.....listen up homeboys and girls, if you wanna be partying it up or chillin up in stone oak, um, you're gonna be ready to shell out some cash, or go back to b&n where you belong ... read more
