Dopest place in SB for a show--tiny, packed, & full of energy. Beer selection is a little meh for this day and age, but reasonably priced. The bartenders are amazing to watch, and they don't ignore you!

Lots of great music live music. They only accept cash at the door for cover, they don’t advertise this. They also told me they were sold out and then when a group of 3 men walked up, they said they miscounted and had room. Limited seating in the back where you can’t see the main stage.

it's a small place for a small group of performers, but that's the worst I can say about it. there is a small stage at one end - maybe 10 to 15 - and great music whenever they choose to perform.The space is long and narrow - the back half is pretty quiet. the whole place is on the end floor...enjoy!

Been coming here for a long time. One of the few places you can see live music besides the SB Bowl. Not a lot of big big names, but definitely some great artists. Recently saw Katchafire there. They were really good. Lots of drunk and loaded people. I guess that's typical for concerts, but it was very apparent here. The music was way too loud though, when I walked out my ears were ringing and I thought, oh I've never hear that wavelength again. Wear earplugs if you're going to a show. I've never eaten there but the drinks are good.

Soho always provides an excellent venue and meals.

First and last time coming here. They charge you $25 to get in the door only to leave you among hundreds of sweaty people in a disgusting sauna. No AC, and the security tried to kick people out for opening doors or windows. Any women with an ounce of class - you’ve been warned.

Dilemma on how to rate, I could have given 1 to 5 stars. Excuse my long review to explain:If you order food, you get to sit near the stage and I'd give it 5 stars, great venue, fabulous performers.We had already eaten, so you're sat in the bar area at the back. Either watch proceedings on a TV screen ?!, or we sat in the front bar seats, where new arrivals and members of bands not on stage like to congregate and chat. To improve: move the erratic cash machine out of the area and move the first bar area loudspeakers forwards one beam so front bar area seats can hear even when people are talking. I'd go 3 star for bar area seating.A bigger concern came at the end of the evening. With 50 people in the bar, the outside lectern for taking money was moved inside and blocked one half of the main fire exit. A big no-no. I asked the bar tender to raise this to management, I trust this was inadvertent and will be addressed.Improvement suggestion: make clear on website that those dining get best seats. Then people can prebook, and the great bar will keep people happy and make more money.

What an amazing venue to watch some live music. Great setup and overall vibe. The staff was super cool and the talent they book is off the charts. Great sound and love the video monitors in the different sections of the bar.

My friends and I were in town and dined at a nearby restaurant. We were told SOHO is the place to go for live music. Luckily, we didn't need to pay a cover since the manager at the other restaurant escorted us. Great!!!We got a drink and waited for the show to start. We ended up leaving after a few minutes. It was just too crowded. Looks like a great spot, just not for me.

Amazing place for live music! They really know how to make the most out of a relatively small venue. The sound quality was exquisite! Beautifully equalized, all ranges were very clear. Cool video tech so you could still watch the stage from the bar in back and the outdoor seating. Great atmosphere. You can tell that they care about the experience if both the guests and the performers! Looking forward to the next time I'm there!
