OUR WhY

In a world where community centers have faded and social skills have taken a backseat, we’re left with loud bars and uninspiring spaces that don’t bring people together in meaningful ways. State Street Social Club is here to change that. Launching this Spring, we are a first-of-its-kind immersive playground in Santa Barbara—a pop-up space designed for play, collaboration, and real connection.

Founded by McCailey Grace Contreras, a Santa Barbara-based visionary who has spent the last 11 years weaving connection, play, and experiential design into everything she creates, State Street Social Club is more than just a space—it’s a movement. With a background in experiential event production, and social-emotional learning, McCailey brings ontological design to the forefront, proving that the spaces we shape also shape us.

This is more than a venue. It’s a new way to gather.
