    The atmosphere of the bar is amazing. I went on a Monday night so there was no wait and after half an hour had to the bar pretty much to myself. Jessica is an amazing bartender who helped guide me in making drink choices that I would enjoy and was engaged in conversations with me while continuing about her nightly duties. Overall I had a great experience due to the friendly and welcoming environment and a professional bartender who knew my palette a bit more than I did.

    This is my favorite bar as well as my husband's around the WH area. The atmosphere is always great and I love the theme around the place. There's indoor and outdoor seating available. The customer service is always an A+. The bartenders are very friendly and quick to take your order. Their seasonal drinks are always a hit.

    My first time at The Social, and I was impressed! Loved the live music (we came to see The Reasons) on stage and the relaxed yet upscale ambiance. They have a delicious espresso martini! The bartenders were very friendly and provided quick service. Highly recommend!

    First timer at The Social Lounge in Winter Haven and definitely will be back. Ordered a lemon drop martini and for dessert (as it is a dessert bar) I had a peanut butter explosion. The martini- very well made, good flavor, and nice presentation. The dessert- to die for! Super tastey and hit the spot! I will say that the bartender, Maria, is hands down one of the best and most skilled bartenders I’ve had in a long time. Very personable, attentive, and the drinks are made the correct way. She knows her stuff and very customer service oriented. Next time you come into The Social, get your drinks from Maria! Thanks for a great experience and I enjoyed it in all aspects.

    I stopped by this lounge during a recent trip to Winter Haven and found this to be such a quaint little place to relax. I enjoyed one of the best cucumber martinis! The 1920’s vibe atmosphere is incredible and the bartenders are very personable!
