There was a DJ that was playing music that appeased to all audiences, which was a fun touch. Food was decently priced for what we got, excluding the avocado toast that was a very good deal for the portion!
Great food. Loved the live DJ. Awesome experience.

the bouncers and staff allegedly laugh at girls getting roofied and also did NOTHING to assist my friend who was almost sexually assaulted right in front of their own eyes. WOMEN STEER CLEAR!
perpetuating rape culture in 2025? be so serious. can’t see this place staying open for too long.

Went there for Halloween this past Saturday (November 1st) got there at 7:30 pm and was given a blue bracelet and was allowed entry. The bouncer NEVER told us they expire at 8pm. We end up leaving and bar hopping for a while before we decided to come back around 11pm we waited in line for so long, my friends started to have to use the restroom really bad and I had met some people in line and because I had already gotten a blue bracelet earlier in the night I thought I was allowed to get in, so I told them to go find a restroom and I'd wait, the line had been barely moving so I figured they'd be back before I got in as well. Well of course as soon as they leave the line starts moving fast and suddenly I'm at the front and the bouncer tells me he needs my ID, and that's when I realized I did not have it nor did I have my phone. I showed them my bracelet and they kept telling me those expired at 8 and if I had no ID I had no entry. So I stood by the bouncers and waited because I'm not from the area at all, and I didn't have any way of finding my friends and I wasn't about to try and go find them, I figured I was safest there. I had asked someone while I was standing there if I could use their phone, but they said their phone was in the DJ booth and they didn't have it. So then I turned to the bouncers and asked them another question and I explained my situation and they just kept saying no ID no entry. I could've used a manager or they could've offered me some kind of help or smthing, they clearly did not care, and I did not know what to do, so I just kept standing there and waiting for my friends to come back. Then this guy comes up to me and starts making really uncomfortable remarks about my body and starts touching me and making me super uncomfortable. I asked him if he had a phone and he said he did not, I asked him where the bar was that my friends were at and if he'd take me there because I felt like that was the only option I'd had, looking back I know it was dumb, but I was thinking I guess I'd endure the creepiness for some help at this point. As we started walking he got more handsy and wouldn't let me go and kept trying to get me to go to his car. Luckily, some kind bystanders stepped in and the guy immediately took off. I'm not sure who the bouncers were that night or if they work for this establishment outside of this, but it's extremely disappointing that they cared more about not letting people in than anything else. I wasn't rude, I was extremely nice and very scared, I could've used some kind of help I didn't need to be allowed in, but they could've done something for me and they did not. I was in there earlier I had shown them my ID and I was not told that my wristband expired or else I definitely wouldn't have stayed waiting in that line. If this is how business is conducted especially when it comes to nightlife, then you need to do better.

I was so glad we stopped at The Social House for lunch while we were at ArtPrize. The food was surprisingly great—I had a wonderful chicken quesadilla, and my partner's birria tacos were a big hit, too. It's a spot worth checking out.

Our experience was fine—nothing terrible and nothing outstanding. We did appreciate the small brunch plates and all the tvs with the game on.
Just ok.
Very unwelcoming. Servers always have an attitude. Ive been here a few times and get the same experience. As a business owner I can’t recommend this place to anyone nor to the chamber.

My bridesmaids and I were in a wedding and decided we wanted to go out after! We were denied entry (in our ball gown full length dresses) because one of our bridesmaids was wearing crocs. They did how ever let the lady behind us in line in wearing Birkenstocks and sweat pants :) would never recommend this place EVER. It’s super ratchet.

Horrible service. The bartenders there haggle with people at all times. Horrible service. I will never go back to this place. I heard that a new club is opening in Grand Rapids and I only go there!

Food was very good. Great location for food and drinks prior to a show at Van Andel Arena.
They’ll let a girl in if she’s wearing a borderline bikini but if you’re a guy and you’re showing your shoulders? I suggest you pack it up bc they won’t let you in
