Really really wanted to like this place since it's the closest bar to me, but I had a few bad experiences that I feel I gotta share. First day was St. Paddys. It was crowded (which is fine) but then the ceiling started leaking like a waterfall right over me. Not necessarily the staff's fault, but not a great experience when ceiling water falls in your already improperly poured Guinness.Second time was very recently where I noticed they advertised a late night happy hour on their site under events (literally the first page that pops up when you search about the bar). Had a few whiskey drinks and relaxed. Then the bill comes double what it advertised. Though the staff was nice, the only thing they said was that "Oh that's old you should have called about the specials - sorry" like it was my fault.I'm a huge dive bar guy so I'm used to some bad conditions, but not false advertising. Staff was nice enough and I can't comment on the food. Recommend if you want a dive bar just go downtown to Slyfox and if you want cheap drinks just head up to Bar Louie or any other chain instead.

Not only are the drinks and atmosphere beyond satisfactory but the bartenders are world class. Ashley gives premier customer service. Hands down the best bartender in the 407.

Found this gem while looking for a sports bar to watch some NCAA hoops. This is a great local little place. Jane was our server and she was outstanding. Food was really good and fresh. The Cubano was crazy good.

We've been here off and on for the last couple of years and it's really improved lately. It used to have a "dive bar that has greasy food if you really have to eat" vibe with bartenders that would ignore you if you weren't a regular, but the last couple of times the food and the service have both been outstanding.Definitely recommend as a laid back lunch or happy hour spot.Late night used to be pretty sketchy, not really our thing anymore so can't comment on if that has changed, but it's super chill earlier in the day.

I’m so sad to write this review because this used to be my favorite place to go to for food and drinks. Went in and sat down and proceeded to wait patiently for 25 mins (they were busy- I understand). Finally I went to the bar where I tried to politely flag down a bartender. Made eye contact with anll three of the bartenders and was completely ignored. Another fun lake Nona establishment bites the dust… hearts my heart.

Scam alert!!!! First of all, when u arrive, no one takes care of you, and then this place charged us items we didn't order. Notified the bartender, and he started to yell at us, "You are lying." While behaving in a rude and disrespectful manner. How Ironic.Will never come back

Beware of scam! Worst attention I have received on a bar: I went on sunday night with my partner, and we were not greeted when we entered the bar. It was not busy either. I waited about 5 minutes on the counter to get noticed. I ordered 2 cocktails. An hour passed by, and upon departure, I noticed I was charged 4 cocktails instead of 2. When I politely mentioned this to the young bartender (mike? jake?) he suddenly changed his mood and got really upset and started raising his voice. He kept insisting that I got 4 drinks and I that I was lying, then he mentioned "you have been sitting on this bar for 4 hours, you need to pay for your 4 drinks" after a very uncomfortable scene of back and forth he said "If I refund you this, you are never gonna ask me for a drink ever again." He turned his back on me, and the manager on duty stepped in and politely helped with the refund. I felt like the young bartender was trying to take advantage of me. He insisted for minutes that I was lying. How can you treat your customers like that? And why the explosive reaction when I asked for assistance? I don't think he had forgotten that I got 2 drinks instead of 4. There was something shady going on. This is the worst attention I have ever received, and as for today, I'm still afraid for my refund, as it is still pending. Never coming back

First time experience and it was Awesome. We just wanted to come to a spot to watch Monday night football and order a few drinks, wasn’t really hungry but we ordered mozz sticks and soon to come “eaglez eye special loaded fries” which is hamburger meat, ranch dressing, shredded cheese, jalapeños, onions, classic pico on top of fries. Something we came up with and the cook executed with perfection, it was good. Our server was Jordan and he was attentive with good customer service. Last but not least the way the drinks were made and serve was really good and strong just how we like it. We most definitely will be back, recommend this bar/kitchen and will let others know about Nona social.
