It is hard to miss Hebbal’s latest watering hole. With neon red lights announcing its name, Hebbal SOCIAL catches your eye instantly. And if you have been a resident of Bengaluru for the past few years, chances are, you are already familiar with one or more of the six other outposts in the city.
Since its first branch on Church Street in 2014, SOCIAL has come a long way in the city. Some would even say they have grown up with it. The college kids who once grimaced through their first taste of beer there now hang out in the same bar and relive those memories over happy hours with their colleagues.
The latest outlet offers the techies, hustlers and inhabitants of the northern locales in namma ooru, an adda to hang out in their side of town. The interiors and vibe pay homage to this part of the city and its commercial persona, making use of raw materials such as steel and concrete in exposed form. The grunge aesthetic gives it a laidback look and it is no surprise that when we head there on a weekday, the place is already buzzing.
