Soho brings in lots of fun performances and great bands but they are terrible in every other way. Food is terrible and way over priced. The structure is in decay and dancefloor literally sags. Service is awful and stuff will steal your drink and dump it if you set it down and look away for 5 seconds (no exaggeration - you can experience this yourself if you're there one time.) I wish they'd fix everything else because it could be rad.

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!

Last June I discovered Sandy Cummings at Soho with a friend. Since that surprise introduction I have attended most of her once a month performances. There is a friendly atmosphere between Sandy and the audience which adds to the show. With pianist Woody DeMarco, Hank Allen on bass, and Craig Thatcher playing drums every visit has been wonderful. The only thing my friends and I would like to see changed is for the musical magic to happen more often. Enjoying the delicious lunch offerings paired with the music is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Amazing music and atmosphere! In addition they have the best sound guy (tech) on the planet!

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.

Great local venue

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.

What can I say? This is a fun venue with a great staff. The sound system is exceptional, or at least Son Volt sounded amazing. We flew here from Austin for the show and it was worth it.

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.

Now I remember why I do not care to eat at Soho. I ordered the chicken thigh(s) that came with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Never have I seen a chicken thigh that was 1/3 inch thick and 6 inches round. Also, it was coated with some kind of crunchy breading and was overcooked. It did not have a presentation that said "wow" and the flavor and texture was not good. Do not recommend!
