The Social Bondi

What used to be Spring St Social has now become this new restaurant serving authentic Middle Eastern food in a new ambience. The food was pretty good although I have been to better Middle Eastern cuisine restaurants in Sydney. Would go again for the live music and what the Social was known for, or to get a cocktail - but probably not just for dinner.

What a place! The food was absolutely delicious! Environment was also lovely and they have live music too. 100% recommended!

Recently attended an event where we got to sample the new menu and holy hell are you in for a real treat. The menu was designed by Dining with Kago and it's absolutely phenomenal. The range is huge from steaks to burrata, delicious kingfish and crudo cuts to flaming chorizo an tartare. The setup was epic with live music and staff roaming to provide drinks throughout the night. The venue was awesome, super cool vibe for an undergound bar and perfect for intimate or events. Had a blastand can't wait to attend for dinner soon!

Came here coz it's connected to the nightclub/band space underground stair thingy. Young Gen Z kids were here coz they too broke to pay and go through to the ticketed event in the nightclub space. This restaurant closes at 12am. Anyways The bartender played house Mashups really loud and he is fun. I think he said he sold the place or something. He also was great at making cocktails.

Spring St Social is a pretty cool bar in Bondi Junction. It's not far from Bondi Junction train station and westfield. It's an underground bar with a great atmosphere with live music some nights. The drinks selection is massive and the bartender made me a pretty good pineapple cocktail. I tried some of the food there. The head chef was originally from Hong Kong so there is an asian influenced menu. My favourites were the truffle fried rice and wagyu beef tataki with asian chimmi churri. I'll be coming here for drinks next Friday night.

Spring Street Social is an awesome speakers type venue, hidden underground on Spring Street in Bondi Junction. Enter down the rabbit hole via the staircase, into this basement entertainment space, with a fully stocked bar and a kitchen pumping out some enticing bites. The kitchen is headed by new chef Kago Fong with his inspired asian tapas menu.
Whilst enjoying the entertainment on offer including live music and comedy shows you can savour some delicious snacks including; deep fried prawn and pork dumplings with black bean vinegar, seared wagyu beef tataki with a teriyaki and sesame chimichurri, mini pork sliders with 5 spice mayo and steamed XO scallops to name a few. There are also larger meals on offer and the truffle fried rice was certainly a tasty option. There are some creative treats with cream cheese dumplings with a dark chocolate ganache dipping sauce and Chinese doughnuts with matcha peanut butter. Who wouldn't want to give this a go!
The bar has a good range of beer on tap, wine and list of cocktails to tempt you. A bunch of classic cocktails are on offer with the Spring Street Social touch. There is even a dessert cocktail list, with the naughty nutella or choccy doughnut. Spring Street Social provides the whole package, with a cool venue, great food and drinks too. It's always great to visit another live entertainment venue in Sydney, and especially when they're opening up in places that have been missing interesting spots like this until now.

Nice place, really nice staff. But the night venue wasn't based around the music. If you're not buying dumplings, you're not getting a seat. It was posted as a live jazz event and really it's a mini restaurant with some jazz in the background. Drinks are super expensive and the band didn't seem to be very organized. Disappointing. Won't be going back.

We went for the $30 all you can eat dumplings with live jazz. The jazz was nice (three person band) but didn't last all evening (I think they moved around to a different part of the venue). The dumplings we're pretty good, but better value when you consider they just kept coming to the table. The cocktails we're quite expensive ($20 each) but I didn't have any so can't speak to their quality. The waitress was attentive and kept taking our plates and bringing more dumplings.
