Description: Yaletown's Most Unpredictable Dining Lounge. We all love the feeling that anything can happen. And Society is a totally unexpected kind of Yaletown dining lounge. Here, opposites will come together to create all-new pleasures. Comfortable meets chic. Warmth meets undeniable cool. Light humour meets dark sensuality. This is a place where anything can happen.

The manager came around and made sure everything was good he was super friendly. I don't go to Vancouver very often but I would go here again in a minute. It was a little chilli and they... More

I planned a stagette and made a reservation at Society. The only time that they were able to give us for a party of 18 was 9 pm. We were fine with that, until we got there... Our party was split into two - two different servers took care of our long table. The one table got their drinks and... More

We've been to some of glowbals restaurants and decided to check out Society. Caters to a younger crowd then their other restaurants. Good place for a 20 something bday. Fun food and drinks. The service was excellent. Our servers name was Megan and she was wonderful.

My friend and I just came in for a couple beers. The place was packed with beautiful women and the French manager treated us like royalty. Couldn't be happier. We are still here drinking and don't plan to leave any time soon.

We visited Society recently with our Stagette group and were blown away by our experience. I love the décor of Society, the pink chandelier are my favorite… The drinks were great (a round of vodka blueberry-mango Mojitos) and the managers, Joel and frenchie, were super nice and the staff was great & interacted with us to be a part of...

It was such a shame, this place tried hard to be trendy, but they should focus on the quality of food. We went with a group of girls for a stagette, and most of the food was awful. 4 of us had very raw salmon and over cooked veggies, sent it back and the fish came out with an awful... More
