Vinyl Night
Bring Your Own Vinyl Night
Spin it. Share it. Hear it differently.
Join us at socialbar for an evening dedicated to your records and the stories behind them.
Whether it’s a cherished classic, a dusty B-side, or your latest crate-digging gem, bring your vinyl and we’ll play it on the bar’s turntable.
No DJ skills needed — we’ll provide those. Just bring your vinyl, your taste and a love for music.
Drop in, drop the needle, and enjoy drinks, snacks, and good company while the records spin.
No tickets, no fuss — just come.

Gentle Jazz
Sunday Jazz at socialbar
Ease through your Sunday afternoon with relaxed live piano and flute, as Sophie Riga de Spinoza (piano) and Jayne Head (flute) present a gentle jazz set inspired by Claude Bolling’s melodic style.

Sophie and Jayne head up Pomegranate Music Therapy, supporting their remarkable work in bringing music to communities and mental health settings.

New-world wine tasting with Graft at socialbar
Globe-trotting wines without leaving your seat.
Join Nico from Graft Wines for a guided tasting where the conversation flows as easily as the wine. Together, we’ll explore six natural and biodynamic bottles from South Africa, Australia and the Americas — talking about what sets them apart from European styles, hearing the stories of the winemakers and swapping thoughts on flavour and style as we go.
Light snacks will be on hand, the atmosphere will be lively and informal and you’ll have the chance to pick up your favourites with an on-the-night discount. Just 25 places available.

Dress Up '80s!
Dig out the shoulder pads, neon legwarmers, and double denim — it's 80s Night at socialbar.

Talk About Loneliness
Join us at socialbar for an evening of reflection, conversation and connection — with discussion led by Steve Peck, Human Givens psychotherapist and socialbar co-owner.
This free workshop-style gathering will open up honest dialogue about loneliness: why it can be so difficult to name, how it appears in different phases of life and what helps us move toward deeper, more satisfying connection — with others and within ourselves.
