social hall
Gathering place indoors
A social hall is a large room or building used for community gatherings, events, and celebrations.
Churches, synagogues, and civic organizations often maintain social halls for receptions, dances, meetings, and potlucks: The wedding reception was held in the church social hall.
The term emphasizes the space's function for bringing people together rather than its architecture.
