We are not from this area, but we wanted a place that had good food and drinks. This place did not disappoint. We sat outside, and it's a nice inviting ambiance. Our server was great! She was attentive and sweet.

This is a good spot for young adults. There was a ping pong table and billiards to play. We didn't go inside, so I'm not sure how loud it gets in there. We had a great dining experience and would recommend this place if you're visiting the area.

Social Hall in Tempe is a brunch lover's dream, especially if you’re a fan of salmon toast and a well-crafted Bloody Mary. The moment I took my first bite of their salmon toast, I knew I was in for a treat. The toast itself is perfectly crisp, providing a sturdy base for the generous layers of smoked salmon, fresh avocado, and a delicate drizzle of lemon. Each bite was a harmonious blend of flavors and textures that left me wanting more. But what truly elevated the experience was their Bloody Mary. It’s clear that Social Hall takes their cocktails seriously. The Bloody Mary was perfectly balanced—not too spicy, not too tangy, but just right. The mix had a depth of flavor that paired wonderfully with the salmon toast, making it an ideal choice for brunch.

What a chill and awesome place. I’ve driven past it so many times and finally decided to swing in. I’m glad I did. The food is good along with a well stocked bar. The shrimp tacos were amazing! Plenty of free games for entertainment. I think we were in there for 3 hours! I will be back soon.

Fun place. Business crowd early changes to college crowd late. The craft beer tap list is extensive. The food was delicious and the menu has a lot of choices. There really is something for everybody on it. The outside lounge area was great. You can't go wrong here.

I absolutely love this place! The vibes are great and the staff is super nice. I went for my birthday brunch and they were very accommodating. They asked where we would like to sit and they even gave us time to take our pictures. The food and drinks were so amazing, and the prices were great for the portions. They have something for everyone on the menu, and while still being small enough that everything was consent and delicious. I am definitely coming back and definitely recommend!

I hosted a birthday party for my husband & 50 guests in the Rafter Room. From the moment I toured the venue, to the planning, to the cleanup at the end of my event, Ashley (Director of Operations & Private Events) & the rest of the staff took amazing care of us. My party was incredible, and all of our guests were very impressed.

The food (I booked the “University” meal package) was above and beyond what I expected for buffet food. The carved prime rib was delicious!!!! The bar manager also worked with me to create a Featured Drink, in honor of the birthday boy, and I had numerous people comment on how good it was.

The venue is unique & has a very trendy vibe. We had the best experience! I would absolutely recommend the Social Hall for anyone looking for an energetic & fun event space that will have you and your guests smiling the entire time.

(I gave 4/5 stars for “atmosphere” because of the noise, as the Rafter Room is partially opened to the bar/restaurant downstairs.)

We had a company dinner here, about 15 people. We had two tables and a fire pit set aside for us. There were some issues getting the heaters up and running as it was cold but the server eventually got help to get the other 2 heaters up and running. For a better experience two servers probably would have been more convenient but we didn't have too much trouble getting drinks and the server was friendly and gave great service.
A good drink menu, the selection of draft beer was expensive and categorized nicely on the drink menu. To hang out and drink, this place would be pretty decent. The food is where there was inconsistency. We had several meals sent back due to undercooking and the salmon was noted as bland. My burger was ordered medium well, I pulled out the medium well stick and just assumed it was good, but towards the end I could definitely tell it was overcooked due to the dryness and slight char I tasted. The truffle fries were good though.
I cannot speak to the cost as it was a company event but I don't think I'd personally come here for the main dishes. The appetizers were all good and it was a nice atmosphere, so definitely more of a snack and drink place than a restaurant.

I usually do not entertain barbecue burgers but this one nailed it!!
The barbeque itself was one of the best flavors I've had, and the patty was thick and juicy.
To top it off the fresh and crispy onion rings that was in the burger was delicious.
The fries also could not have been better, crispy and full of flavor!
