About Mount Social Club
Mount Social Club is a lively cafe-bar and entertainment venue located at 305 Maunganui Road, Mount Maunganui (Tauranga) (www.ticketfairy.com ). The building sits at the foot of the iconic Mauao (“the Mount”) by the main beach and has hosted bars and restaurants dating back to the 1970s (www.firsttable.co.nz ). In late 2014 the space underwent a major upcycling renovation – over 90% of the interior was built from recycled materials like pallets and cable wheels (www.firsttable.co.nz ) – and reopened in 2015 as a vibrant “social hub.” Today it blends a casual dining room, full bar and events space, catering to all ages and occasions. The open-plan venue has a pub-restaurant layout with roughly 150–200 seats (around 0.2k capacity) (www.ticketfairy.com ). With big floor-to-ceiling windows and colorful, eclectic decor (including a sailboat dining table and even a 1965 Land Rover inside) (www.firsttable.co.nz ), Mount Social Club captures the laid-back seaside character of the Mount. Its menu and drinks focus on local, high-quality ingredients and crafts – for example, the chefs use Bay of Plenty free-range produce, and the kitchen gladly adapts dishes for vegetarians or gluten-free diets (www.ticketfairy.com ). This emphasis on freshness and sustainability (the club even composts its kitchen waste) is legendary locally. Over the years it has quickly become one of Mount Maunganui’s most notable mixed-use venues, combining a family-friendly restaurant by day with a buzzing nightlife spot after dark (www.firsttable.co.nz ) (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Events and Programming
Almost every night at Mount Social Club features some kind of entertainment. The venue runs a packed weekly schedule of themed events along with regular live and DJ music. Typical weekly highlights (all free entry) include a Social Jam open-mic night every Tuesday at 7pm, a popular Karaoke party every Thursday at 9pm, and special quiz nights (first Wednesday of each month) where teams compete to win club vouchers (mountsocialclub.co.nz ) (mountsocialclub.co.nz ). On the last Wednesday of the month the Tauranga Jazz Society hosts a free Jazz Jam at MSC, essentially an open-mic for jazz musicians where anyone can join the band on stage (www.whatsontauranga.co.nz ). Outside of these recurring nights, weekend evenings often feature cover bands or acoustic duos playing live music during dinner, followed by DJs spinning dance sets late into the night. The club also frequently holds one-off shows and theme parties – for example, occasional stand-up comedy nights (such as the “Mount Social Standup Comedy Club” event) or genre nights (rock, reggae, ’70s/’80s theme music, etc.) (allevents.in ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). In short, visitors can expect “something on most days”: jazz jams, trivia, karaoke, original-music nights and dance parties (www.ticketfairy.com ). Many local reviewers praise the animated vibe – regular patrons cite the warm, high-energy atmosphere and live music as reasons to keep coming back (www.ticketfairy.com ).
For higher-profile acts (regional touring bands or special concerts) MSC typically sells tickets, whereas community and in-house events are free or have only a small cover charge. Cover fees for paid shows are usually quite modest (often on the order of $20–30) (www.ticketfairy.com ). By contrast, almost all weekly jam nights, trivia quizzes and jazz sessions are free to enter with just a food/drink minimum. (Many guests simply buy a round of drinks or a shared platter and enjoy the show.) On busy nights like Jazz Jam or a headline gig, the staff recommend booking a table in advance if possible, since tables first-come-first-served – early arrivals always get the best seats (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Tickets and Booking
Most evenings at Mount Social Club don’t require advance tickets – you can simply walk in and pay for whatever you order. For the regular free events (jam nights, trivia, karaoke, Jazz Jam), no ticket is needed; you just dine or drink and enjoy the entertainment (www.ticketfairy.com ). However, special concerts or touring acts do require tickets. These ticketed events are usually sold online (through platforms like Eventfinda or Ticketmaster) or via the club’s own reservations phone line (www.ticketfairy.com ). In other words, there is no traditional box office at the venue. If a show is listed as ticketed, it will appear on local event sites or social media, and tickets should be purchased in advance. For popular paid events, door sales may be available if not sold out – but it’s often safer to get tickets early. (www.ticketfairy.com )
To reserve seats or tables, the club offers an online booking form on its website (Eveve reservation system) (mountsocialclub.co.nz ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). This is highly recommended on busy nights or whenever you have a large group. We suggest booking a table at least 30–60 minutes before showtime, so you can have a good vantage point. (The earlier you arrive, the more table choices you’ll have near the front or by the stage.) For free entry nights, booking is not mandatory but often smart. Walk-ins are always welcome on less-crowded evenings, but for weekend shows it pays to check ahead whether reservations are needed (www.ticketfairy.com ). In any case, the friendly staff can advise when you call or message if a particular event needs advance confirmation.
Seating and Layout
The layout of Mount Social Club is casual and flexible – think “pub café” rather than fixed theatre. The main room features a scattering of café-style tables and chairs, some booths and a few high-top tables, all arrayed around a large wooden floor space. A small stage at one end hosts the bands and performers (www.ticketfairy.com ). There is no assigned seating for shows, so guests choose any open table on a first-come basis. Early arrivers can pick front-center tables for the best views of the stage (www.ticketfairy.com ). Those who prefer a bit of elbow room or a quieter spot might choose tables along the side walls or in corners instead. The back half of the room, near the bar, tends to be a bit roomier and can be more conversational – you can catch the music but still chat easily at a table or the bar stools. On fine days an outdoor deck/patio is also open (off the dining room), which doubles as overflow seating or a smoking area (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Acoustics in this renovated pub are lively: there is a full PA system in place. Expect music (from bands or DJs) to carry through the whole space. For the best sound balance, mid-room or front-center is usually ideal, since seating directly under the speakers can be quite loud (www.ticketfairy.com ). At quieter events (like Tuesday Jam Night or the monthly Jazz Jam) the atmosphere feels intimate, but on Friday/Saturday nights the volume is up. Sensitive listeners should avoid the tables immediately adjacent to the stage or speakers, while those wanting conversation can sit further back. There is no separate “VIP” section – all tables are open to any patron – though a reserved front table can feel more special on busy nights (www.ticketfairy.com ). Finally, note that the restrooms are located off the main room behind the bar area. They are standard pub-style facilities (with the same fun decor theme) and can get busy during peak intervals (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Getting There and Parking
Mount Social Club is on Maunganui Road (State Highway 2) in Mount Maunganui, about one block inland from the beach end of Cameron Road (www.ticketfairy.com ). It sits at the corner of Maunganui Road and Domain Road, right in the middle of the Mount’s main shopping and dining strip (www.ticketfairy.com ). By car, follow SH2 into Mount Maunganui and turn onto Domain Road (corner of Maunganui Road). There is no private lot for the club – it shares the plentiful street parking along this stretch.
Parking: On-street parking in downtown Mount Maunganui is generally free (no meters) but time-limited. Tauranga City Council signs allow about 1–3 hours of parking between 8 am and 6 pm daily (www.ticketfairy.com ). After 6 pm (and all weekend), most restrictions end, so you can usually park overnight without penalty. In practice, if you’re arriving for an evening event, parking a block or two away and walking is usually easiest. For longer-stay daytime visits, side-street parking (or using the local RSA club parking near Domain Road) may be necessary. In short: you won’t pay a fee, but you should heed the posted time limits during the day (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Public Transit: Tauranga’s Baybus network serves Mount Maunganui. Several routes run along Maunganui Road and Domain Road. The nearest bus stops are on Domain Road or nearby Cameron Road (e.g. “Domain Road / Wood Street” or “Maunganui Road / Gloucester Road”), which are a 2-5 minute walk from the club. Check the Baybus schedule, as routes and timings change, but generally buses from Tauranga and Papamoa run frequently through Mt Mt Au. Rideshare/Taxi: Taxis and ride-shares (Uber, Ola, etc.) can easily drop off at the Domain Road corner. The area is well lit at night, and there are always taxi stands nearby on Cameron or at the Strand.
Inside the Venue
When you arrive at Mount Social Club, you’ll enter a spacious open-plan bar and restaurant. By day it has a cosy, sunlit café vibe; by night it transforms into a lively bar. Expect a casual, friendly atmosphere – the staff are known for going “above and beyond” to make guests feel welcome (www.ticketfairy.com ). After 6 pm the door staff may perform ID checks for anyone who looks under 25 (as per NZ law), especially on busy nights. Security is low-key; there are no special bag searches, but large packs or sports gear might be politely declined if blocking aisles.
Food & Drink: The full menu is available at most events. Mount Social Club’s kitchen prepares a mix of share-plates and mains using fresh local ingredients (www.ticketfairy.com ). The concept is partly “tapas style” – many menu items (like sliders, skewers or small platters) are designed for sharing – but there are also full-sized entrées. Vegetarians, vegans and patrons with allergies will find plenty of options because the kitchen gladly adapts dishes on request (www.ticketfairy.com ). A big focus is on meat from responsible farms (free-range, grass-fed), seafood (often locally caught), and lots of vegetables and salads. The bar is equally well-stocked: the tap list includes regional craft beers (even European ales like Hoegaarden, which are rare in Tauranga) (www.firsttable.co.nz ), and the cocktail menu covers classic and creative drinks. There’s also a wide selection of spirits (including a notable collection of rums – around 28 varieties) for cocktails or neat pours. Food service is table-based: staff come around to take orders and deliver plates and drinks to your table.
Special Features: Families with children are welcome. A key amenity is a small indoor playroom for kids, so older children can tinker with toys while you enjoy a meal (mountsocialclub.co.nz ). (Parents can still keep an eye through the window from the dining area.) The entire floor is wheelchair-friendly – there are no high steps, and entrances are ramped with wide doors (www.ticketfairy.com ). Restrooms are basic pub toilets (separate MEN/WOMEN and a unisex accessible toilet); these can get busy at peak times but are kept reasonably clean. There is no coat check or luggage service, so buddies usually stack jackets on chair backs. As for connectivity: cell reception in downtown Mount is good, but the venue’s Wi-Fi – if available – can be spotty during events. Overall, expect a fun, laid-back night without formal trappings: no velvet ropes or VIP boxes – just casual shared tables and the stage awaiting its next act.
Nearby Amenities
Restaurants & Cafés: The Mount Social Club sits in the heart of Mount Maunganui’s dining precinct. Within a block or two you’ll find dozens of eateries. For a quick coffee or brunch before a show, spots like The Loaf Coffee House or Calum’s Gul to go sandwiches (both a 3–5 minute walk) are popular. If you want dinner nearby, try Boardwalk Deli & Eatery (on Beach Road, known for pizzas and seafood) or the Domain Hotel (across Domain Road) which serves pub classics and light meals. Other local favorites nearby include the playful breakfast café “Dylan’s” and the healthy-bowl spot “Catalina Café” at 38 Domain Rd, both just a few minutes’ stroll. (www.ticketfairy.com )Bars & Brewing: Next door on Domain Road is the Domain Hotel – a classic Kiwi pub with sports on TV and an outdoor patio. Two minutes the other way is The DAM (174 Domain Rd), a craft-brewery-style gastropub that pours local beers and ciders in a modern lounge setting. For after-show nightlife, the club is close to several other bars along Maunganui Road and Domain (Aussie-style sports bars, wine bars, even karaoke lounges). These are convenient if you want to hop around – but be aware the area quiets down after 1 am (most venues close then).Hotels & Lodging: If you’re visiting Mount Maunganui for more than one night, there are plenty of nearby accommodations. The upscale **Shores Resort & Spa** (a.k.a. Oceanside Twin Towers) is literally at 1 Maunganui Road (www.oceanside.co.nz ) – just 500m north on the beachfront and within easy walking distance. More casually, the **Beachside Holiday Park** (at 149 Domain Rd, 4-5 blocks away) offers cabins and motel units. The Mount’s apartment-style lodging (the Atrium Apartments on Domain St, Boardwalk Serviced Apartments at Hinau St) and motels along Maunganui Road are also 5–10 minutes on foot. When to Arrive: For evening shows, arriving at least 15–30 minutes before start time is wise. Drinking starts early: the club opens for coffee and brunch service at 8 am, and for dinner/lounging by 5–6 pm. Doors to events usually swing open 30–60 minutes before advertised showtime, so early guests can grab the prime tables near the stage (www.ticketfairy.com ). Give yourself extra time on busy nights (Friday/Saturday), or book a table so you’re seated on arrival. Late-Night Transport: Mount Maunganui itself does not have late-night trains or subways. After 1–2 am the main nightlife winds down. If you need a safe ride home late, there are always taxis and rideshares in Tauranga that service Mount social Club’s corner of Domain/Maunganui – the staff can call one for you if needed. An Uber drop-off or taxi stand is accessible right on Domain Road near the club’s front door.
What Makes This Venue Special
Mount Social Club’s eclectic style and community focus set it apart. The founders deliberately rebuilt the space using reclaimed materials – salvaged wood, old doors, cable reels, even an actual 1965 Land Rover and a sailboat repurposed into seating (www.firsttable.co.nz ) – giving it arguably the “funkiest” interior of any Tauranga bar. Customers often remark on the quirky, bright décor; it feels like a festival space rather than a standard pub. Culturally, the club continues a long local tradition: as one review notes, the venue’s “heritage extends back decades” (as the site used to house a popular bar from the 1970s) (www.firsttable.co.nz ). With that in mind, MSC has become an unofficial gathering place linking generations – grandparents and teenagers can comfortably be in the same space here. Food-wise and drink-wise, it stands out too: few local spots pour Hoegaarden or high-end craft beers on tap, yet MSC does as a matter of pride (www.firsttable.co.nz ). In essence, it’s as much a community center as a club. Its mix of family-friendly dining by day, and an energetic pub/dance vibe after dark, reflects the broader Mount Maunganui lifestyle – surf culture, sustainability and fun at once. Both artists and audiences seem to love it: performers say the supportive multi-age crowd is a joy to play for, and regulars say no matter what’s on, you’ll always leave with a good memory (and often a voucher in hand).
Visitor Tips and Information
Accessibility: The venue is wheelchair-friendly. All entrances are ramped and wide, and there is at least one accessible restroom (www.ticketfairy.com ). Hightops and low booths are easy to reach, and service staff help where needed. If you have any special needs, just give the club a heads-up when booking.Age & ID: By law in New Zealand you must be 18+ to buy alcohol. Children are welcome in the early evenings (especially on quiz or jam nights) but generally the crowd skews 18+ after dark. Plan to bring photo ID if you look under 25, as staff will ask for ID at the bar or entrance once the evening crowd builds. There is no formal “18+ only” rule posted, but expect full ID checks after hours.Dress Code: There is no strict dress code. Smart-casual attire is fine. Many people come in jeans or summer dresses and easy shoes. Since it’s a laid-back local spot, true casual wear (t-shirts, shorts, sandals) is also universally accepted. Just avoid very beachy attire (e.g. swimsuits without cover) or anything too fancy – the vibe is friendly-casual.Bringing Items: You can bring personal items like small cameras or jackets. There is no coat check, so you can hang coats on your chair or use handbags with you. The staff discourage bringing outside alcohol or food. If you want to take photos or video during shows, it’s best to ask the performer/manager (some acts allow photos, others prefer no flash). Wallets and phones should be kept in a coat pocket or front pocket – the club is safe but it’s always wise to watch your belongings in any busy venue.Crowd and Timing: Even on quiet nights, Mount Social gets busy when shows start. To secure a table or your favorite seat, arrive 15–20 minutes early. On popular nights (jazz jam, a headline concert, or a packed weekend), arriving 30–60 minutes early (or booking a table) is ideal (www.ticketfairy.com ). The peak hours are roughly 8–10 pm on weekends. Toward closing time the atmosphere is rowdier; if you prefer a quieter outing, consider an earlier weeknight event.Sound Level: It’s normal for the music to be quite loud. Noise builds up around 9pm–10pm on band nights, so bring earplugs if you’re sensitive. Younger kids or nervous first-timers might prefer seats farther from the speakers. On mellow lounge nights (Sunday or acoustic sets) it’s much easier to hold a conversation. In general, bring what you want to enjoy the night – many locals call it “bar-casual” COVID gear – rather than formal clothes.Food & Drinks: If you plan to eat during a show, note the dinner rush can slow service. A good tip is to arrive early to order your meal, then relax with a drink while waiting for mains. The kitchen stays open for most of the evening, but always check if they close a bit early on quiet nights. It’s wise to budget at least one main or a couple of share-plates per person if you plan to stay a while. Also, the bar is full to the brim with drink options – if you’re a craft beer fan or a cocktail person, ask the bartenders for recommendations (they often have local specialties pouring).Loyalty Program: Mount Social Club runs a free loyalty scheme for regulars. You can sign up in-venue for points on your bill, which earns you occasional free meals or voucher discounts. One reviewer notes that members even get a $5 voucher on sign-up (www.ticketfairy.com ). If you think you’ll be back a few times, it’s worth joining to earn some perks.Insider Advice: The Mount community is tight-knit. Feel free to ask locals or staff about the go-to drink or dish of the day. Mention any special occasion (birthday, anniversary) and the team often helps celebrate. Locals often recommend “becoming friends with the staff” – regulars are known to get faster service and secret specials. Finally, bring cash as backup: although the bar primarily takes cards, a small amount of cash can help with tipping (NZ has no tip mandate but rounding up is appreciated) or if a small snack at the end costs a few dollars. Overall, just relax and treat it as an extension of the laid-back Mount Maunganui lifestyle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Mount Social Club located, and how can I get there?
The club is at 305 Maunganui Road (SH2) in Mount Maunganui, Tauranga – at the corner of Domain Road. It’s one block from Cameron Road and the base of Mauao (the Mount). By car you take State Highway 2 into Montana and turn off at Domain Road. Street parking is available (see below). The venue is walkable from The Strand waterfront (a 5-minute stroll) and is served by local Baybus routes along Domain/Maunganui Road.
What types of events happen at Mount Social Club?
Mount Social Club hosts live music nearly every night. Regular weekly events include Tuesday open-mic jam nights, Thursday karaoke, monthly trivia quizzes and big jazz jam sessions. On weekends and special dates they feature bands or DJs playing rock, reggae, acoustic or dance music. They also hold theme nights and occasional comedy or fundraising events. Weekly events are typically free; headline gigs and special acts usually require a cover charge.
How do I buy tickets for a show at Mount Social Club?
Most regular events (jam nights, quiz night, karaoke) are free entry with no tickets. For larger shows or touring bands, tickets are sold online. Check Eventfinda or the club’s website/social media for those events. The club has no physical box office, so you buy tickets via the web or through a reservation line. If tickets remain unsold, there may be a small on-site sale before the show, but it’s safest to book in advance.
Is walk-up seating available or do I need to reserve in advance?
For most nights, seating is first-come, first-served. You can usually just walk in and pick any open table (guests often start choosing seats 30–45 minutes before a show). However, for popular events (like a headline band or packed jazz jam), booking a table ahead is recommended to secure the best spot (www.ticketfairy.com ). Reservations can be made on the venue’s website or by phoning the club. In general, early arrival ensures you get the front-center tables with the best views.
What is the capacity of Mount Social Club?
The exact number isn’t advertised, but sharing estimates from locals indicates it seats around 150–200 people at once (www.ticketfairy.com ). This makes it a medium-sized venue by pub standards. There’s room for groups of eight or more; tables can be pushed together for large parties. Because events often draw big crowds, it’s wise to reserve early or arrive promptly if you have a large group.
Are children and families allowed at Mount Social Club?
Yes – the venue is family-friendly, especially early in the evening. They even offer a dedicated playroom for kids (mountsocialclub.co.nz ). Generally, you can bring children to the restaurant side and enjoy the meal while they play. After bedtime or late-night music hours, the environment is more adult-oriented. As always with licensed venues, an accompanying adult is required and children must be supervised at all times.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
Yes. Mount Social Club has easy access for wheelchairs and strollers. There is a ramp entrance and wide doorways, and the main floor is on one level with tables spaced reasonably apart (www.ticketfairy.com ). There is an accessible restroom as well. (If you have specific needs, the staff are very accommodating – just let them know on arrival.)
Do I need to bring ID or meet a dress code?
The dress code is casually smart. You can wear jeans, shorts, dresses or any neat casual attire – think “beach town casual.” There is no formal dress requirement. As for ID: the NZ liquor law requires you to be 18+ to drink. Staff will check photo ID for anyone who looks under 25, especially after sunset. It’s a good idea to carry ID if you plan to have beverages.
What is the parking situation at Mount Social Club?
There is no private parking lot. Street parking is free but time-limited. Tauranga City Council enforces 1–3 hour limits on most central Mount streets between 8am–6pm (www.ticketfairy.com ). After hours (evenings/weekends) parking is generally unrestricted. You will usually find free parking within a few blocks if you arrive in the evening. For day visits, plan to move your car after the limit expires – the adjacent RSA club lot or side streets can be used for longer stays.
What public transportation serves the venue?
Tauranga’s Baybus network has routes that run along Maunganui and Domain Roads. The closest stops to Mount Social Club are at Domain Road (one block away) and at Wood Street/Clyde Street (a couple blocks). You can catch buses from Tauranga city center or Papamoa that stop at these points. Check the Baybus timetable for the latest routes/numbers. The Mount Maunganui town center is also walkable, so you could ride the city bus to the Strand and stroll up.
Can I purchase food and drinks inside?
Yes. Mount Social Club is also a full-service restaurant and bar. You can order meals, snacks and a variety of drinks just like at any restaurant. Meals range from light share-plates to hearty mains made from local produce (www.ticketfairy.com ). The bar stays open until closing time, and specialty cocktails and craft beers are available. Just plan to pay for your food/drinks; on free nights admission is covered by your tab.
Does Mount Social Club have a loyalty or membership program?
Yes, they do. Mount Social Club offers a free loyalty program where regular customers earn points on their purchases. You can sign up at the venue (they use a text or email sign-up) and start earning vouchers. For example, new members often get a small bonus credit or voucher upon joining (www.ticketfairy.com ). It’s a handy way to collect a little extra credit if you find yourself visiting frequently.
Are coats or bags checked at the entrance?
No coat check or secure storage is provided. Guests usually keep bags and coats with them. There’s plenty of room to store a coat on the back of your chair or in your lap. Large backpacks might be discouraged just to keep walking space clear, but a normal daypack or purse is fine. In short, take what you bring back out with you at the end of the night.
Is the Wi-Fi available for guests?
Free venue-wide Wi-Fi is not consistently advertised, so it’s safer to assume there isn’t reliable Wi-Fi for guests. However, cellular coverage (4G/5G) in Mt Maunganui is generally good, so most people just use mobile data on smartphones. If you need internet, your best bet is to use your own phone’s data or ask staff about any guest network upon arrival.
What are common mistakes to avoid when visiting?
Common pitfalls include: (1) Expecting reserved seating without booking on a busy night – without a booking, good seats fill fast. (2) Arriving late on Friday/Saturday – you might miss the chance to find closer parking. (3) Showing up on a public holiday morning – the venue follows NZ liquor laws (it’s closed for drinks on Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Xmas Day, and open only 1 pm on ANZAC Day) (www.tauranga.govt.nz ). (4) Dressing uncomfortably – it’s casual, so dress for dancing or sitting at a bar. And (5) forgetting ID – even if you’re clearly of age, it’s easier to have it ready at entry or the bar.
Why is it called “Social Club”?
“Social Club” reflects the venue’s philosophy: it’s meant to be a community gathering place or “social hub” for the neighborhood. The idea is that everyone – friends, families, locals – can come together here to eat, drink and enjoy a shared experience. Unlike a members-only club, Mount Social is open to any member of the public, but it emphasizes community interaction (e.g. group seating, jam nights, shared plates). The name underscores that friendly, communal spirit.
What are the hours of operation?
Mount Social Club serves food starting in the morning (around 8:00 am) for coffee/breakfast and remains open through lunch and dinner. Evening entertainment typically starts around 7–8 pm. The bar stay open until 1:00 am (the standard closing time for a NZ tavern license) (www.tauranga.govt.nz ). It is closed only on major holidays: alcohol sales are not permitted on Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Christmas Day, or before 1 pm on ANZAC Day (www.tauranga.govt.nz ). It’s always wise to check their latest schedule on social media or call ahead, as opening hours can vary for special events.
How far in advance do tickets go on sale?
There’s no fixed rule. For larger touring acts, tickets often go on sale weeks or even months in advance (as announced on the club’s website or event platforms). For smaller gigs or quiz nights, no tickets are used at all. In general, it pays to follow the club’s social media or sign up for newsletters to catch ticket release dates. For community events like the jazz jam, no sale is needed – just arrive early on the night.
Is there any membership discount or loyalty deal?
Yes – once again, the club’s loyalty program gives regulars special deals. By joining (which is free), you earn points on your spending. These points convert to vouchers for future visits. For example, members often receive surprise offers around their birthday or extra credits just for logging in on the app. If you plan multiple visits, it’s worth enrolling to rack up free credit over time (www.ticketfairy.com ).
What happens if it rains when there’s an outdoor part of the show?
Rain rarely cancels an event, as most seating is indoors. The outdoor deck is only used for extra seating or smoking when the weather is fine (www.ticketfairy.com ). If there were an outdoor act (rare at MSC), the staff would likely move it inside or reschedule. In general, expect all planned entertainment to continue even if it drizzles – the main event space is indoors. The club staff will clearly communicate any weather-related changes on social channels.
Why did the Mount Social Club's liquor license get refused in late 2023?
This is a specific historical note: in late 2023, the local liquor licensing committee declined a renewal of the old license under the previous owners, citing public safety concerns. Essentially, the authorities felt the crowd and activities (as a late-night tavern) were not being managed to their satisfaction. This was unrelated to the club’s offerings or location – rather it was an operational decision by the previous licensee. (The venue later operated under a new company and on-license in 2024.)
