“ Urban Social is a great spot for a lively night out with friends, offering a fun, energetic atmosphere and excellent drinks. The nightlife here is on point, with good music and a vibrant crowd that creates an exciting vibe. The drinks were solid, well-made, and just what we needed to keep the energy up throughout the night. However, the space is very small and tight--packed wall to wall, making it a bit difficult to move around or find a spot to comfortably hang out. If you're planning to come with a group, be prepared for a cozy, crowded experience. One unique thing about Urban Social is that you have to order food via text, which is a bit unconventional but works out fine. Despite the separate ordering system, the food arrived hot and exactly as we had ordered, which was a pleasant surprise. The only thing I would've liked to see differently was a single tab system with the bar, as the separate food ordering system felt a little cumbersome. That said, it didn't ruin the experience, and the food was tasty enough to make up for it. Overall, Urban Social is a fun place to hang out, but the tight space can get a little overwhelming. It's definitely worth checking out if you're looking for great drinks and a lively atmosphere, just be prepared for a packed house! Four stars! ”

“ If you just finished eating brunch and need a place to go just to drink, then this is your place. It is located in a storefront, so parking can be challenging. It's not a big place so it gets crowded quickly. The drinks are pricy, but they are very strong. The Hennessy lemon drop is my favorite drink here. The DJ plays all the latest hip hop tracks. ”

“ Hello, my name is Ashley B. Let's get to the review. I went here last night for Labor Day and it was R&B night for the majority part of the night, but as the night went on, they started playing more hip-hop./rap, which really hyped up the crowd. You have to get here early because the seats get taken fast and will leave you standing so I suggest wearing some sort of flat shoes. The drinks are pretty good and the parking is free. They also serve food, but to be honest the food can be pricey due to inflation so I would suggest eating something like a snack on the way home. Overall, I really enjoy the atmosphere in here. They keep the lights dim so you don't have to worry about bright lights flashing on you. I do want to point out that they do have an odd restroom area. There's two doors and you could be standing in line and people will just walk up and skip you or ask. Are you in line for the restroom. Trust me I wish they had women/men stalls so we wouldn't have to worry about this type of situation. Anyway, go check them out if you're looking to catch a vibe! ”

“ You can reserve a table to have a spot separate from the general crowd. This is a small spot and space is limited. The music is vibrant and will definitely get you dancing. The DJ mixed songs together that I didn't know would be paired as well as they were. We got to hear some of the local Houston R&B and rap songs, which was a joy since this is the hometown of some major R&B and rap artists. The drink menu is mature and eclectic. The bartenders know what they are doing! Impressive! I was able to chit chat with some very friendly locals. The TVs were showing the Olympics at the time. At one point every one was cheering U.S.A...U.S.A! The bathrooms were unisex and it was interesting watching the men wait along with the women . It worked. No complaints there. All of the drinks I ordered were nicely done. Security was there to keep the peace. I didn't see anything other than good vibes going on. It got very crowded at one point right before we left. We could tell this was a hot spot. Loved, loved, loved this place. This will definitely be a spot I will definitely come back to when visiting Houston. ”

“ With Urban Social, what you see is what you get. It's a bar that draws a crowd almost every day of the week so clearly they have a formula that's working. It's located in a plaza so parking is available after hours. There's always security out front checking IDs and patting folks down so I've never encountered any issues the few times I've been. The space is a bit small so on crowded nights, it can be uncomfortable being in there. The DJs are usually good and the bartenders have a heavy pour. Overall, it's always a good time, if a hip hop and r&b vibe is what you're looking for. ”

“ If you love 90's R&B, meet me here on a Tuesday...lol you won't be disappointed. Great Vibe, Nice people, good drinks. It's not quite a hole in the wall, but it gets so packed in here you would think there is no space to begin with. I would recommend getting there before 7pm or reserve a table. I also like coming here on Thursday Nights, but you can find whatever you need any day of the week. Definitely good for grabbing drinks after work too. If you like cigars check out their cigar lounge next door. ”

“ I love this place! It's turned into my random after-hours spot with great music, great service, and great drinks when I'm in the mood to vibe and cozy up to a loungey bar. They make a mean French 75 that never disappoints! Cheers! ”

“ Overall, I think it's a great bar. Drinks are strong, music is good, and atmosphere is chill. I went early in the evening during the week, so the place was extremely pleasant. However, based on the other reviews and Urban Social's IG page, this place easily transitions to a crowded lounge with a club-like scene on the weekends. So choose your vibe wisely. My drink of choice was the White Gummy Bear. It was fantastic. Sweet but packed a punch. The bartenders definitely know what they're doing here. Food options can be consumed here but must be purchased next door. Parking is shared with the establishments in the strip mall. I definitely recommend taking an Uber or Lyft. ”

“ Overall nice spot. The game was playing along with a good selection of music so there was no way to go wrong. Our bartender was friendly and accommodating as well as the security staff on duty. We were seated pretty quickly, enjoyed a couple drinks, and really enjoyed ourselves. I would definitely return in the future. ”
