John & Rachael Cato

The Corner Social is the vision of local entrepreneurs John and Rachael Cato, whose passion for hospitality, entertainment, and community has helped shape some of Downtown Perry's favorite gathering places. Building on the success of Oliver Perry's and Main Street Social, they wanted to create something new—a place where people from all walks of life could come together to relax, celebrate, and make lasting memories.

More than just a patio bar and event venue, The Corner Social was designed to be a true community hub. Whether you're enjoying live music under the lights, sharing handcrafted cocktails with friends, attending a private event, experiencing one of our rotating pop-up kitchens featuring local restaurants and food vendors, or simply spending an evening downtown, our goal is to create an atmosphere that feels welcoming, exciting, and uniquely Perry.

Supporting local businesses, musicians, chefs, and entrepreneurs has always been at the heart of what we do. We believe that when our community thrives together, everyone benefits. That's why The Corner Social was built as a place where collaboration is celebrated and local talent has an opportunity to shine.

While John and Rachael may have envisioned The Corner Social, they know this dream would never be possible without the incredible people who help bring it to life every day. We are deeply grateful for the dedication of our general managers, partners, leadership team, and staff across all of our businesses. Their passion, commitment, and belief in our shared vision are what transform great ideas into unforgettable experiences.

As our restaurants, venues, and teams continue to grow together, we're excited about the future and the opportunities to create something even bigger than ourselves—a connected hospitality family where every guest feels like they're part of our community.

From great food and handcrafted drinks to live entertainment, special events, and genuine Southern hospitality, The Corner Social is more than a destination—it's a place to gather, celebrate, and build lasting relationships.
