SOCIAL, the popular café-bar chain, has opened its new outlet in Hazratganj, Lucknow. The new location, housed in a restored Haveli, combines historical architecture with contemporary design, reflecting both the cultural heritage and modern vibrancy of the city.
The Hazratganj SOCIAL features a mix of traditional Awadhi elements, such as ‘Lakhori’ bricks and jharokhas, alongside modern artistic touches. The venue includes a rooftop area, SOCIAL Chhatt, offering expansive views of Lucknow.
Riyaaz Amlani, Managing Director of Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality Pvt Ltd, emphasised, “Hazratganj is the heart of Lucknow, and there couldn’t be a better place for SOCIAL to make its debut in the city. It’s got that perfect mix of rich history, vibrant culture, and a unique blend of old-world charm with modern energy. Hazratganj has always been a favourite hangout for locals and visitors, and SOCIAL fits right in with its own twist of heritage meeting hustle. It’s where tradition and contemporary lifestyles come together—just like SOCIAL’s vibe of blending local culture with something bold and new.”
The menu offers a range of popular dishes, including Butter Chicken Biryani and Local Heroes selections, designed to showcase local flavours. Hazratganj SOCIAL aims to be a central spot for community engagement and cultural events.
