Church Street SOCIAL Returns to Bengaluru, Reimagining the First-Ever Outlet of the Brand
Church Street SOCIAL, the first-ever outlet of the SOCIAL brand, has reopened in Bengaluru following a complete renovation. Located on the iconic Church Street, the outlet returns to the location where the SOCIAL story first began, bringing together its original spirit and a refreshed design inspired by the city’s evolving character.
The reimagined space draws inspiration from Church Street’s architecture, culture, artistic expression and counterculture. The renovation aims to reconnect the outlet with the street outside, creating an experience that blends Bengaluru’s urban identity with SOCIAL’s distinctive grunge aesthetic.
A Design Inspired by Church Street
The renewed outlet features large façade openings that blur the boundaries between the interior and the bustling street outside. The design incorporates art deco-inspired elements, terrariums, brickwork and expressive walls, embracing the imperfections and individuality that define the street.
The interiors also showcase retro Kannada hand-painted advertisements, Nazar Battu-inspired elements, a street-side arcade station and references to South Indian comic culture. LED lighting adds colour and energy inspired by the city’s festive atmosphere.
Carrying Forward SOCIAL’s Original Spirit
Speaking about the reopening, Riyaaz Amlani, Founder and Managing Director of Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality Pvt. Ltd., highlighted the significance of Church Street in the brand’s journey.
He emphasised that SOCIAL’s identity has always been shaped not only by its interiors but also by the street, its people and the freedom for communities to make the space their own. The reimagined outlet carries forward this original philosophy while creating opportunities for a new generation to connect with the brand.
An All-Day Dining and Community Destination
Church Street SOCIAL continues to cater to Bengaluru’s diverse dining and socialising needs, from coffee and work sessions to lunches, evening gatherings and late-night experiences.
The food menu features familiar favourites such as Fully Reloaded Nachos, Ghee Roast Masala Paneer, Chaats and China Boxes, while the beverage menu retains popular SOCIAL signatures, including L.L.I.T. and Banarasi Patiala.
Beyond food and beverages, the outlet will continue to host music, artists, cultural programming and creative collaborations, reinforcing its position as a community-driven urban destination.
The reopening marks a new chapter for the first SOCIAL outlet, combining its legacy with a contemporary interpretation of Bengaluru’s street culture and creative identity.
