SOCIAL Opens Their First Outlet at Hazratganj, Lucknow

India's most popular neighborhood café, SOCIAL, has made its way to Hazratganj, one of Lucknow's most recognizable and active neighborhoods. Known for fusing tradition with modern eccentricities, SOCIAL's 55th location, which can accommodate 500 people, has transformed an old Haveli into a bold and modern setting that pays homage to the city's cultural past.

The modern and the antique are blended together inside the new Hazratganj SOCIAL. Richly restored Awadhi architectural elements such as arches, 4-post beds, and jharokhas, as well as heritage windows and "Lakhori" bricks, give the outlet depth and personality.

 “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 favorite 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,” commented Riyaaz Amlani, Managing Director, Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality Pvt. Ltd.

Adding to this, Arshad Syed, Executive Director, Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality Pvt. Ltd. elaborated, “This is a significant milestone for me, as Lucknow is my home and has been an inspiration in so many ways throughout my life. Hazratganj SOCIAL will bring alive everything that SOCIAL stands for—a vibrant space where people can connect, celebrate, and experience the unique blend of culture and creativity that makes this city so special. It’s a place where the past and present come together, where local stories are honored, and new memories are made, capturing the essence of Lucknow in every corner.”
