Den Social Lounge is a late-night lounge concept inside the multi-use Den Social venue on West 36th Street in Midtown, sharing the building with a karaoke bar and daytime cafe. It draws a weekend nightlife crowd with a door policy that separates general-admission and VIP lines and caps entry at capacity, which is the main source of any wait.
Reported guidance from reviewers points to door lines of roughly 45 minutes to an hour or more on Friday and Saturday nights, particularly once the post-midnight rush hits — with no guarantee of getting in if the room fills. Table service reservations are available and recommended given limited seating, and Thursdays are described as a calmer alternative to the weekend crush.

Damnlines does not have a live camera at this venue yet, so we can't give you a real-time count. Reported guidance from reviewers is that door lines can run 45 minutes to an hour or more on weekend nights, especially after midnight, with separate general-admission and VIP lines and no guarantee of entry once capacity is hit.
The lounge offers table service reservations, and reviewers note that booking ahead is recommended since seating capacity is limited. Walk-in general-admission entry is also available but subject to the door line.
Per the venue's own site, the lounge operates Thursday through Saturday, roughly 11:00 PM to 3:00 AM. Den Social also runs a karaoke concept in the same building with earlier hours (Thursday 6 PM–2 AM, Friday–Saturday 6 PM–3 AM).
Reviewers suggest arriving earlier in the night (before the post-midnight rush) and going on Thursdays, which reportedly draw a more relaxed crowd than Friday or Saturday.
It's at 65 West 36th Street in Midtown Manhattan, near Herald Square/Koreatown.
