The Social in Cebu

"We have always had a great experience there. Good food, friendly staff and comfortable outside seating.and we have no favorite dishes because they are all good!"

"Great vibes, tasty food, and perfect service! The Social is a fantastic spot to chill, eat, and enjoy drinks in a lively atmosphere. The food was delicious and came out fast, and the cocktails were well-made. The service was excellent — friendly and attentive staff made everything easy and smooth. The ambiance is modern, energetic, and perfect for both casual nights or meeting people. One of the best places in the area for good food and fun vibes. Highly recommended!"

"Tucked inside Ayala Center Cebu at Cebu Business Park, The Social is a vibrant café-bar-meets-music spot that knows how to keep the energy high. The interior is stylish with dim lighting perfect for evening hangouts, and there's often live music or DJ sets on select nights--one of their recent posts even teased a "music night" lineup that drew quite the crowd. Drink-wise, their cocktail list doesn't disappoint, with creative twists and craft beers that go down smooth late into the night--they're open until 1AM, and weekends stretch to 2AM . With a 70% recommend rate from over 3,400 reviews on Yelp, it's clear people love the mix of laid-back social vibe and upbeat scene. The crowd is eclectic--office workers, couples, friends--all enjoying the central spot in Cebu's best business hub. Prices lean a bit higher ("$$$$"), but it's worth it for the ambiance and consistently good service. Whether you're winding down after work or gearing up for a night out, The Social hits the sweet spot between chill and festive--definitely a go-to in Cebu City."

"I had a night to kill in Cebu City before I flew back to the UK. I went on a Thursday night and found it to be quite busy. Half is indoors and the other half extends out on to the roof garden of the Ayala Mall (4th floor). I wasn't eating and just wanted a beer. The beer is more expensive than most places if you buy them individually but there was a good deal on the ice bucket with 5 beers which was a very reasonable 520 pesos. There was a live band and they performed a good version of Deep Purple's Highway Star which was something I didn't expect to hear. Service was good and they even put fresh ice in my bucket after I had drunk 2 or 3 to keep the remaining ones cold. Cold beer, live music, I couldn't really ask for more. Just wish I had arrived earlier to hear a bit more of the band."

"Located in Ayala Mall rooftop, it offers relaxing atmosphere with inside and outside dining or just for drinks. The big draw here is the people. You will meet people here from all over the world. They also have very good live entertainment. The food is a mix of a little of everything. Come here for the atmosphere and music but the foods not bad either."

"I have been a customer for years. I enjoy the weekly bands (7 days a week) Food and drinks along with atmosphere is amazing! Kevin the owner is present and involved which makes for great management!"

"It's a place full of life and fun. You can enjoy the performance of a high-quality band in a pleasant space. The band's performance starts at 8 to 8:30pm on average. Above all, all the crew members are kind and serve quickly. I had a minor problem yesterday and they actively solved it like a female manager at The Social. It was a kind response that I've never experienced in Cebu. Thank you so much."

"The food was very good and the experience was relaxing because the music was NOT blasting in our ears. We had salmon and grilled chicken sandwich. With a Greek salad to start. Just a little on the high end as far as cost, but I think it was worth it."
