This bar was pretty rachet. The music sucks and the performers looked like they were paid ten dollars to perform awful acts. The drinks are expensive and the crowd wasn’t good

Poorly organized events. The online registration did not work properly. The advertised opening was delayed by about 40 minutes because of late arrival of performers. The crowd was kept outside in the cold. No one was able to provide any information about timing of lesson. The only way to have a seat is to be forced to order food after paying cover charge on entrance. Otherwise, just drop your coats in unsightly pile on the floor and change shoes standing... And continue standing throughout the entire evening... The only good parts were the DJ with decent music choices and acceptable dance floor

Great live music venue. One suggestion: I do wish that concert goers could sit at the empty tables near the stage, even if a drink minimum was required. They end up being empty the entire show regardless

The music itself is great. Drinks also positive. The staff and vibe they put out is... unfortunate. Be prepared to have your coat stolen by a staff member if put down for a second to then force it to the coat check ($6 cash only- really? Can't do an even $5?). Autotip and credit card charge on every check. Overcrowded, not enough space to groove & salsa. Super convenient being right off the train though. Also maybe get someone to help out in the coat check room when people are rushing to check their coats because they'll get snatched up if they don't?

Beautiful show but always starts over an hour late.

I always come to the Kpop themed nights & it never disappoints! The crowd is welcomed to dance their hearts out & the drinks, are uniquely mixed depending on the theme of the event! This is a must see event for anyone in nyc ;)

Fun event, but unethical and money hungry business practices!! Do NOT come here for the free ticket shows!! I came with a group almost 10pm in order to get in by 11pm (the cutoff for free entry). They purposefully held the line up, with it barely moving, only for them to finally move the line slightly before 11pm, and charge us $20-$25 at the door. I wouldn't have minded paying $20 for a cover in general, but absolutely minded the fact we were promised free entry and felt like we were scammed and conned out of our promises. Actual party and show was super fun, but figured this incident took it from 5 to 2 stars, and is important to mention to anyone potentially looking to come here for their free before 11pm shows, which is really a bait to get people to come. Unless they do a cheap show I can buy tickets for under $10, I will probably not come back again after this incident, sad it's now a 1 and done party venue!

I had a great time at SOBS. I went to favela Fridays and I have no complains about the venue. It was 100% worth it.

went for favela fridays and had such a great time!!!
Visiting and caught a great show. Ordered a pitcher of mojitos (4 drinks) and there was no alcohol in it. Tasted like sugar water. Other than that it was pretty good

I was at their K-pop EDM event, and the music was on point! The DJ played all the K-pop hits, and the crowd had so much energy. People go there to dance, so be ready to move! 💃

came here for the kpop edm night and omg the bartender nearest to the restroom was so horrible to us. they have a policy of charging extra for paying by card so we paid by cash. there's an automatic 18% tip added to everything, which is fine but in which case, girl do your job properly. she didn't give us receipts so we don't even know what percentage of tip she took each time. she barely looked at or smiled at us, and I definitely felt like she could be biased against Asians or something. there was no queue so we all stood around trying to get her attention, and all the non Asians got served first no matter how late they got there. meanwhile she'd look at me and other Asian customers then look away to serve others. the drinks tasted watered down too. the bar experience really made the night unpleasant. coat check was expensive at 6 per coat and 5 per bag. I'd come here if you really want the music and not get any drinks.

Love SOBs!! Strong drinks, reasonably priced. Came for a free RSVP event, had no issue getting in — everyone is super nice. Great vibes ❤️
