This is one of the most accepting and diverse bars and crowds in the entire Metro Detroit area. A little bit of everything for everyone. To me, it's just a great place to have a drink, well to others I'm sure it's a whole lot more. It's clear the owners care not just about running the business well, but about taking care of the community they service also.

This is hands down my favorite bar in Ferndale. The vibe is amazing—safe, welcoming, and you always feel taken care of. The bartenders are super friendly and respectful, and honestly, the whole staff is just great. On top of that, the drinks are fantastic! My absolute favorite is the SpicyMollea: a fresh, fruity cocktail with a Latin twist that makes it stand out. Totally recommend it!

Two years ago, I experienced discrimination where I was refused a water. I didn't forget the incident, but I forgave the situation and went on my way. I am a professional musician and enjoy spending my time singing with other people. People in the world also demonize me because of my appearance. One month ago, the police were called on me by one of the lesbian bartenders: I asked for a drink. And so refused to the point of screaming in my face. I have little tolerance for disrespect and waited for the police to be called because I felt unsafe by her. Do NOT go to Soho. It is not an inclusive space for anyone; especially Black men and Persons of Color.
All I did was ask for top shelf whisky.

Popped in there looking for a comfortable space while in town, Soho was highly recommended. The bartender was fast and pleasant, nice smile. The other guy wasn't making drinks but was a lot of fun and offered suggestions for places to eat. I'll definitely be back when in Detroit again. Lot's of good shops in the area for health foods too.

I sat down and was insulted at first site by the staff. It was the most awkward restaurant hospitality first interaction I’ve ever had.

SOHO is the best. I’ve come here for years and they are awesome. Fantastic outdoor seating and some of the greatest service.
I would normally not give a bad review to a gay bar since I know we’re struggling, but this instance stood out. 5/26/24, we were having a good time at Soho and it starts heavily raining - heavily enough that the ceiling starts leaking. In of itself, not the end of the world, whatever. But, a second leak started that was falling literally on the barware; not just the exterior of the shakers, but also the strainers and other tools that directly touch the product going to the consumer. I attempted to bring this to the attention of a bartender and his response was (the gist), “yeah it leaks, we suggest you step away”. I specifically pointed out that the leak was falling on the barware and that was the response? It was pointed out to another bartender who did take action.

Soho turned me away because my ID was expired (I’m 25) Its literally my birthday month. My new ID hasn’t came in the mail yet. But I watch them let “other” ppl in, with no ID completely. I thought ID was to check age. I didn’t know they was the Secretary of State. But looking at these reviews I won’t be back. I advise anyone reading NOT GO HERE. It a very small building catered to a certain group of ppl. Not diverse. Very rude. Overpriced. Not clean

Smooth easy going vibe, great place to meet someone. Not much for karaoke… great service.
Why are gay bars so not gay
