Customer Reviews

Stopped by here to check out with family, lots of options for anyone here and any age. There were lots of board games to choose from, video games, axe throwing, golf and lots more. They host different in house events during the week as well. Full bar and great food options, love the fact there are vegetarian ones as well.

Social Latitude hosted a business event for us and we had a great time! Stephen and his staff did an excellent job of coordinating and providing exceptional service to my team and everyone had so much fun with the simulators, games and arcade. We will be back for another event for sure!

Thank you so much for hosting the Eastside Lady Eagles Soccer Team for our end of season celebration! Highly recommend Social Latitude for your group events!

Social Latitude is where it's at! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is welcoming, fun, and full of good energy. The staff is super friendly, the drinks are amazing, and there's always something going on?live music, games, you name it. It's the perfect spot to unwind, laugh with friends, or even make some new ones. Whether you're there for a night out or just popping in for happy hour, you're gonna have a good time. 10/10 recommend!

We had our sons and daughters birthday party there and it was amazing. The food was hot and tasty, the atmosphere was perfect, the games were a hit with everyone and the live music was outstanding. Everyone is still talking about it. Thanks Social Latitude !

It's a fun place to go with friends for trivia, night or salsa dancing. A quick drink or even spend the day playing golf or x throwing. Staff is really friendly.

I Never give a 1 star because I don't feel its ever that bad! The place was not crazy busy but was steady. The bar however was not busy at all. This was possibly the worst bar service I've ever encountered. We sat there in front of the bartender only to be ignored for 12 min before asking us what we are drinking. No greeting no nothing. Almost as if we were a nuisance for being there. I think people tend to forget in the hospitality industry you work for tips. I hope the bartender didn't because s

So I played a round of golf which lasted 1-1/2 hours, had 3 beers, 1 shot and nachos and it cost me $128. So I learned that they charge the same for 1 person as they do 6 for the simulator which is outrageous. I will not be going back that's for sure and will make sure to bad mouth them to everyone I know and on social media. I could have played a round of golf for less than the $75 they charged for golf. I am livid . I do not recommend this place to anyone

I was in town visiting family for Christmas and came across this jewel. Too cold to do anything outside but I must say, if I lived here, this would be my favorite fun hangout spot, rain or shine, cold or hot. First off, when you walk in, you know this is a classy place. The games are great. Digital pinball machines that offer more than just a mere variety of pinball games... I got over 100 million score on Back to the Future. Dare you to come in and beat mine..prefer old fashioned arcade games? They got 'em

Awesome spot. Great atmosphere, plenty to do. Food is bomb, and drinks are perfect. Perfect to get out with friends or family. Even solo, you will have a blast.

THE hottest new place for adults to play and the food is top notch! Their elevated menu is beyond your "typical bar food", fresh, delicious and so many choices. It is obvious the amount of attention to detail the owners put into it and there is something for everyone to do including Top Golf Swing Suites you can reserve for the evening. If you haven't been, you are definitely missing out!

Nice little place with games, ax throwing and a full bar with food. There's a Latin dance night on Saturdays.

There was a live band when we came it was awesome. Love the atmosphere and the vibe. The bartender was super nice and awesome. Definitely will be back.

????? I had placed Social Latitude under a personal lifetime boycott for not accepting cash, even though it's one of the closest pubs to my house, and they offer great entertainment, games, food, and live bands. It was a matter of principle for me. After two years, I learned that they changed their policy about six months ago, so I decided to give them another chance when a band I love was playing. I'm glad I did! The staff was welcoming, and they set up comfortable chairs for us to enjoy the evening. The

I pass this place all the time. I finally went in, and I'm glad I did. The owners were great and the atmosphere was very cool. The food was delicious.

Great place! Cool staff. They've got axe throwing and a top golf virtual simulator. Karaoke on Mondays from 7pm-11pm

Had the best time today!! You have got to check out the Speak Easy Experience!! Was happy to be part of the test run!! I was incredible!!

Came here with friends and had an absolute blast! Zombie dodgeball was hilarious-- our group was laughing, clapping, and cheering the entire time. The golfers in our crew LOVED the Top Golf swing suite, and this was the first time I felt 100% safe ax throwing indoors. The bar and lounge area are spacious and beautiful, and the music and atmosphere were fantastic! Overall, a really great, memorable night. There's nothing like this place in the area. So fun and unique! Already looking forward to going back!

Super fun place, great food and drinks! Axe throwing, golf simulator, video games, board games and live bands. Friendly service too!

The Wednesday night team was fantastic! They were very accommodating for my group outing! I would use them again for all future team events.

We went to a wedding reception at Social Latitude this weekend! It was amazing! There was so much fun stuff to do. It was not a typical reception. It literally blew me out of the water. Food was phenomenal. Staff was great. I wish I had done something like this when I got married. We will be talking about this reception for years to come.

What a cool place! Fun vibe, neat games, and good food. Excellent customer service all the way around but Dana, the bartender, was especially awesome. They've been open only two weeks and they've already perfected everything. I feel like we just stumbled upon Greenville?s hottest new hangout spot!

Finally, Greenville has a beautiful social space that is perfect for meeting up with your friends to have a little fun! Here you will find *safe* axe throwing, simulated golf, an arcade with old school games, zombie dodgeball and more! Great food. Great cocktails. Great vibe! Cheers!

I love the variety! The variety of activities, the variety of food, the variety of drinks makes this place unique and inviting. Great date night spot that my husband and I never get bored of.

Ask for Christina And Pixie they are the best . This place is nice .drink and food prices are really good ! Lots of games to play Golden Tee axe throwing dart boards pin ball lots of games entertainment and live bands !

What a great and fun place! We went because it was the place for the wedding reception. Food was great, DJ was awesome, and entertainment for everyone from golf to axe throwing to arcade games. Staff was great to work with, very accommodating. Great memories were made and everyone of all ages had fun.

They are typically closed on Mondays but they opened to accommodate our party of about 40 adults and kids as well as another group. They are 100 percent 5 star!

Birthday Party blast at SL! I want to share the secret of social latitudes- they have a hidden back room. It's their speak easy room with a secret code to get in. It was perfect place to host a surprise birthday party with friends. We got the delicious hummus plate, bourbon meatballs and pretzel appetizer. We had 12 people and still had food left over. The staff were excellent too- very attentive and the bartender makes tasty old fashioned drinks!

This placed definitely earned a 5 star review. Low key spot , perfect for family and friends. From beginning to end it was nothing but great service. After an hour or so of axe throwing we chilled by the bar/lounge while the band played. Very laid back spot which is what I enjoy. Everybody working there was very attentive to me my wife and my friends. The bartender knows how to makes some good drinks as well. Definitely reccomend anybody looking for a new spot to go to to check it out. I will definitely be

Awesome hidden gem. We came here for a birthday and the snacks were yummy along with the drinks. We all had a great time playing the virtual games.

My husband and I visited for the first time late Friday afternoon. We loved it. Probably going to make it our new Friday place to be. Angela was the bartender and she was terrific?. Great personality, knowledgeable and made our first time experience there a great one. We're definitely looking forward to going back again.

Great place to hang with a group or just a couple friends. Bar/ stage area can be noisy but of you move over to other areas, it's more quiet. Plenty of great activities... axe throwing, video games, skeeball, golf simulators, etc. Karaoke some nights and Latin dancing on Saturday. Not really eaten there but menu looks good. Easy to park and plenty of space inside. Bartenders have all been very knowledgeable and friendly.

Went there about a week and a half ago for family night with our kids. First off, Solomon was GREAT and made our visit worth while. We got there right @ 4 when it opened, the place was empty which was fine but with more people the atmosphere would've been better, it would've probably felt a bit more welcoming. It felt somewhat cold and cheaply constructed. The games we played on the screen are fun but if the games are not being switched out I am not sure how many times I'd go back. The smoke free kitchen is

Really wanted to love this place after seeing reviews about great drinks and great food. Unfortunately I don't think I will be returning. My friend ordered me a shot, and I ordered two drinks (one for me and one for my fianc?) then we were told it is a ?cashless bar? and that ?everyone is pretty much a cashless bar now days? I did not see any signs or anything posted anywhere about the bar not taking cash. I understand the reasoning but I think it should be posted so it isn't a surprise. The drinks were med

Finally! I've been so excited for this place to open! If you're looking for a fun place to relax with friends, look no further, this is the place! This place has something for everyone (but no kids after 7pm ????).

Very nice folks and a neat atmosphere. I was here for a work function and it was perfect for that. Tasty beer too. I don't know why, but I found their menu very hard to read. Also, I was charged for two beers instead of two, but they resolved it, so just keep track of your tab.

I had my husband 40th surprise birthday party here. It was amazing!! The service was great and the staff Emily and host were amazing. Everyone enjoyed the axe throwing and sports simultors they were a hit. It wasn't that crowded. If you are looking for a place to have a party look no further. This place is a hidden gem.

My wife and I came there on a Friday night and had a great time! Food was tasty. Drinks were beautiful and fun. And the staff behind the bar and around the whole place were fantastic! We are definitely coming back soon and I would recommend to anyone, couple, or group for a fun time in a good environment!

I planned a last minute surprise party for my husband?s 60th and it was exactly what we needed. The speak easy room was awesome and all the games were fun. A must visit, even if it's just to eat - their food is amazing!

Great place to go enjoy fun in a variety of ways with the multiple types of golf/sport simulators, interactive axe throwing games, live music, and tasty food and drink options. Not to mention they are conveniently located off of Woodruff Rd. and always have ample parking available.

Good place to meet with friends. I only sampled a small portion of the menu but what I ate was good. Fairly good selection of beer and drinks. Played golf simulators, threw axes and had a good time!

I popped in for a business lunch and was blown away by the delicious food! Homemade sauces for the wings. There was a mac and cheese flight I want to try. I had the Cuban wrap(which had a fun name I can't remember) and it was delicious. I brought part of it home, and even my picky chef husband approved. There was a group playing top golf, and they were having a blast. I can't wait to bring my staff here for some adult fun!

Loads of fun options for things to do. Golf swing suites, zombie dodgeball, and axe-throwing are all great! I have not had a food option here that I did not like. But in particular, the grilled cheese, the tomato pie sandwich, and the buffalo chicken dip are amazing. Staff is friendly and fun. Don't let the understated signage fool you, this place is a whole vibe.

If you're looking for a place in the Greenville area for a great lunch, dinner or just something fun to do this is your place! The atmosphere, great drinks and amazing food are awesome! I had the Social Club wrap and it was delicious! I especially liked the great music that you could sing along to and still hold a conversation in comfy sofas/chairs. We're already discussing hosting a team building event here and of course date nights! Don't hesitate this place is like nowhere you've been before!

What an awesome experience! Came in and had lunch and drinks. Bar tender recommended the meatballs and a wrap. Delicious food! Then we played just about every virtual game! It was so fun! Football, baseball, golf, carnival games, you name it! Then we had a few more drinks and played arcade games and ?beer pong?. Everyone we interacted with was so sweet and helpful! Overall great time and we will definitely be back!

Awesome place with lots to do, great drinks, delicious food and snacks, live music, and outstanding service! Axe throwing with digitally projected games, arcade games, pinball, virtual ball and golf games - you'll never be bored. This was our first time there and we will definitely be back! Special thanks to Dylan for taking such great care of us throughout the night. You rock, dude!

I was interested in trying your food via door dash until I realized how ridiculous the price gouging was. 14 bucks for a grilled cheese with tomatoes? Five dollars for sodas? It really calls into question if all the other reviews about it being overpriced are correct.

One of my favorite venues in Greenville! I've had a great experience each time I've been? food, drinks, great vibe, great service! Highly recommend for anything from a casual lunch, or for a planned gathering. Will definitely continue frequenting!

This place will add their own tip to your tab. The bar was almost completely empty and we were there for about 20 mins before deciding to leave this ridiculously high priced establishment. Two shots of don Julio tequila for $32. We reached out to Social Latitude after noticing the bartender decided to add a 22% tip, only to be told that there is an automatic gratuity added to "walk outs". This is insane being we provided a card to close out and was never provided a receipt even when asked for one. It's lite

My husband found his first Detroit Lions backer bar in SC!! The staff was very friendly, very relaxed and comfy atmosphere, many weekly events..great family place!!!! Highly recommend!!!

Had a great time doing our company Christmas party there. Stephen and the team are awesome. Great food and environment

Excellent sandwiches. Well-stocked bar. Fun games. Good drink specials. If they don't know how to make something, they'll give it their best shot if you give them a spec. That might sound minimal, but I know a lot of bars that won't do that.

Such a fun place to go no matter who you are. The environment and staff are welcoming to all walks of life. We had so much fun, as a versatile group of over 40 women. Highly recommend.

This was such a cool place. Went for a work gathering. Service was excellent (shout out to Dill Pickles). The only food we had were appetizers but they were also super good. (Pizza-dillas, bourbon meatballs, pretzel bites). And this place has something for everyone. 4 sets of seating areas with virtual sports and other games (we did soccer, hockey, and carnival type games). OG arcade games, and "Jet Pong." Ax throwing. Plus a full bar with TV's to watch sports. I can't rave enough about this place. I will

We visited Social Latitude for the first time today with our kids and it was amazing! So nice and a great set up with axe throwing, seating in comfortable chairs that can be moved to accommodate your party, arcade games, top golf simulators and even a speakeasy! But y?all the food???. The tomato pie sandwich is ?? and the kids loved the walking tacos. They are kid free at night so you can come enjoy the nighttime upbeat vibes without little Johnny smearing COVID on the bar ??. The owners are the best and it

I have been going to Social Latitude and it is so much fun. It is never dull, if you are looking for fun, you've found it. They are also very diverse and everyone is welcome which is another reason I love this place. My favorite are some of the themed nights. The food is incredible and my favorite is the cubitaliano with mac and cheese! The drinks are so incredible and I recently had this shot called "Star Spangled Bangers" perfect for the 4th of July or any given day and need a reason to be patriotic. I al

Got the chance to check out Social Latitude this weekend. We had a great time. Food was awesome and all the games were top notch. Something for everyone. The staff also did a fantastic job. We really enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommend!

Great place! We had 6 people and all had a fun time playing golf and the other games. The food is good however the menu is a little limited. Great atmosphere to just chill with friends and family!

Had the pleasure of meeting Kat! She was kind and super courteous to me and my three boys. Great atmosphere for the kids and just found out they have Latin night. Best believe my wife and I are coming back . Thank you Kat it was fun!

We came here for a soft opening and the ONLY reason why I didn't give them 5 stars is because it was a soft opening and there is always room to improve. Our server Kelvin was absolutely incredible. He checked in on us often enough that we always had what we needed, but not so often that it screwed up my lackluster golf game. This will be an amazing bar for a high class crowd. The only real negative I would give is that the booth prices are a little steep compared to TopGolf or Golf Galaxy. Will be coming ba

Loved the interactive experience and the food was good. As a first time guest some definite changes need to be made. No cash is a definite thing that needs to be revisited. I was lucky enough to have my cc that day. You aren't able to pay for your interactive experience with food and must have a link sent to your email and pay that online. When I was running this idea by friends and family they said that was enough to keep them away. Great people, but without changes could be in trouble.

Came here a couple days before Christmas and had a blast with my 3 adult siblings. Axe throwing is super fun but we can't wait to get back to do the golf simulators which can also be any game simulators including, kickball, hockey and soccer. Food was pretty good too, definitely try the meatballs. GREAT for groups or celebrations.

We had a wonderful evening! The food menu had great options! The drinks were amazing! And the staff were welcoming & fun! We can't wait to come back and play some games! 5 stars!!

We went here for a date night and had a great time. Kaylina checked on us regularly and was so nice! We ate, did axe throwing, and played arcade games. The food and cocktails were delicious. Highly recommend!

Christina is the best bartender! She is great at making drinks and super friendly. I absolutely love her. She provides the best service. In addition, she is the best karaoke singer there is!

Awesome Venue for a wedding! The staff was great, the drinks were good, the food delicious, it was elegant and fun at the same time!!

It's time for this place to receive an honest review. We work hard for our money and deserve to know what we are walking into at each business. We arrived here on a Friday at 5 pm. It was slow and the sign at the door directs you to the bar. We were greeted with a snarky comment from the bartender letting us knows its obvious we have never been here before. Their wine and beer menu is absolutely awful! I ordered a glass of cabernet and watched the bartender pour the remnants of one bottle into my glass an

Surprisingly good! I went for a dancing night and the staff and bartender are great and friendly , good prices. Try the pizadilla ? is a must

We had so much fun at the soft opening! The axe throwing was SO cool and different than I've seen at any other axe throwing place with the electronic boards, golf simulator was super cool, drinks were top notch and food was super yum as well!

Great place to play adult games. I'm a wing guy, and their baked wings pretty much sucked. Gotta be deep-fried or grilled. They were very mushy. Yuck. I will say their Buffalo chicken dip plate was very good.

Had a wonderful night with my wife several weeks ago. Great atmosphere!!! The staff couldn't be nicer and the service was great. Definitely would recommend to take your spouse there or great place to hang out with friends and family.

Celebrated my 50th birthday here, and Jeff, Solomon, and Elizabeth took GREAT care of us! The food was delicious, and we loved the axe-throwing. Solomon took such awesome care of us!!! Couldn't have had it better celebration!! Highly recommend this fun spot! We will be back for sure!! Glenda Tomaszewski

Social Latitude did not disappoint! We did the Top Golf suite and played all kinds of games from golf, hockey, to zombie dodgeball!! Great atmosphere and a definite must with friends! Finally something unique and fun in our area!!

Social Latitude is a fun place to gather with your friends. Everyone in your group can find something they like to do there, and the staff easy to work with. Consider them for your next event!

Really neat place on Woodruff that opened a few months ago. Menu has many gluten and dairy free options available. Comedy night was funny and free to attend. We will be back!

I stopped in this place to check it out for an event gathering and had one draft beer that came to $12.96. I'm from San Diego California and I promise you I would be hard pressed to find a draft beer this expensive anywhere in CA let alone the burbs of SC. Wild.

This place is awesome! Between the event nights and all the game options, I can't think of a better place that checks all the boxes. The staff is amazing and you can tell that the owners put a lot of thought into creating this space to hang out. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone!

The food is top notch, can't explain how much I love the grilled cheese!! The atmosphere is also amazing and they always have some cool event going! Highly recommend checking this place out!

Social Latitude is definitely the place to go with friends to have a super fun time! I'm excited to try out the axe throwing next time I visit & can't wait to have meetups there. It is such a wonderful addition to our community & I love supporting their awesome local family business!

This is one of my favorite places in Greenville to hang out. The service is always great and the axe throwing is my favorite ??

Dillion (hope I spelled it right) greeted upon entry and helped us with any questions that we've had. Super nice and patient, friendly and approachable. The atmosphere is nice for a chill night to hang back. Drinks were also really good. 10/10 recommend

The French dip sandwich is AMAZING. Came with friends and played in the swing suite on a night when there was music bingo going on as well. So many awesome things to check out!

We had the BEST time while visiting family! The axe throwing was so much fun and the food is delicious! I'm GF so it was great having options that may my lifestyle

Neat atmosphere and lots of fun tongue in cheek humor. The Firefox is super refreshing and I covet the wallpaper in the ladies room. Music BINGO was a blast and my quesadilla was perfect. Happy to have a fun bar near five forks!

I had so much fun! The games are amazing. So many options for one machine or suite! The lounge is beautiful and the drinks are great! The staff is so fun! I would 100% recommend!

Visited recently and was able to check out quite a few of the items from the arcade games-Mario! to zombie dodgeball(I'm out of shape) to the axe throwing. It was my first time attempting axe throwing and the set up made it a fun experience! We only tried a few snacks but will be back soon for the sandwiches on the menu!

Great place to watch football. A ton of screens and very cool seating areas. Chairs at the bar are comfortable too. Owners are great and engaged with customers to have a great experience.

Enjoyed all the diffent arcade games and the music was great.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”

Are pinball tables still good in this modern age?

Yes, pinball tables in arcades remain a blast. Their hands-on, skill-driven gameplay delivers a thrill digital games can’t match, blending nostalgia with modern flair. Newer tables from Stern and Jersey Jack feature LCD screens and themes like Avengers or Stranger Things, keeping things exciting. Arcades are seeing a pinball resurgence with vibrant scenes and tournaments like IFPA events drawing crowds. Though less common than video games, pinball’s tactile charm and community vibe make it a standout arcade experience in 2025.
