SOHO music cafe cafeteria Review

Fun food and music venue. Good prices on most tickets. Horribly uncomfortable chairs.

Special club to me, always lots of fun, food, great music.

Once again had a fantastic time at Soho. The food is outstanding. Everything was delicious. All the staff are so friendly and attentive. Service here is great and the music had everyone on the dance floor. Thank you Molly Ringwald Project. You sounded awesome!

best place to catch some live music and get some good food

SoHo has hosted some of my favorite artists that have ever come to town. A good blend of local musicians and big-fish names from out of town. A nice outdoor area and a more cramped interior as the place packs out. The acoustics in the building have never been really good so you might not be able to hear the lyrics to the songs clearly but overall its a pretty goof concert experience for what you pay. SoHo only accepts cash or pre-purchased tickets for concerts, just a heads up.

Took 30 min to get fries... garlic and rosemary.. was absolutely disgusting. Sent them back for normal plain fries.. Took another 30 min. Smh smh bar tenders all sitting around looking at stuffing their phones.. while one busts his ass. Took forever to get a drink. I only ordered twice bc why would I go back and wait so long for someone to pop open a beer for me. I can go home and do that myself

Celebrating a Birthday and enjoying Jazz. Fantastic music venue! Great service and food!

Great venue for music or science. Dining and bar area. Great on tap. Good service and food.

Only been here for a show, but I had a blast. Smoking area is nice, with a lovely view, and the sound system is way bigger than the small room that houses it. The lounge area is dope too.

Very fun venue, food and wine expensive on top of entry fee.

It's a comfortable venue, that can accommodate 21 and younger

Soho is great for small shows. Definitely a great spot for a fun Friday night.

My girlfriend and I are first time visitors of Santa Barbara. Several people recommend that we check out SOhO since we both enjoy live music. Upon arriving around 10pm we encountered a line. After waiting 15 minutes in line we were told it was sold out and they moved on to the next people in line. I asked him why there was not a sign posted or why he didn't let people know so they didn't waste their time waiting. He said, "I cannot spend time every 5 minutes yelling at the line saying it is sold out. I presold 280 and just sold 20 tickets. 300 that's it. Go wait over there to see if there are any no shows". There were two couples behind us that didn't realize it was sold out either. After being treated like cattle with no respect of our time, we will never return to SOhO.

Quite possibly the most poorly run bar/club in the western US. All the tables with a view of the stage are reserved for those with "dinner" reservations. Many remained unoccupied while all other seating was in rear with no view of the stage.



Mens room large, but only 2 units, so lines were common. In addition to being seemingly arrogant, unfriendly at best, these people really seem to have no clue about the business they are in. Management is obviously deficient, which is too bad, because the facility is lovely and located in a nice spot.

I celebrated my PhD this evening in this fine place. Well it was a delightful evening and the place was surely one of the reasons for that outstanding event. The waiters helped in a very nice way, the cooking was delicious and my guests were extremely overjoyed. We shall no dout come back again for more joyful events. Thank you very much.

Awesome venue, nice atmosphere, lots of space. There's an outside patio area if it gets too hot inside. I've been to two shows there, The Marias and The Buttertones, and they've played great shows! Their openers were great too!

Attractive Old School Bar & Large Music Room. Good service

Good place for dining and live music. Not overpriced. Very casual.

Some of the best music entertainment in Santa Barbara rolls through here!

Food is fantastic. Service is very fast. But expensive.

Awesome live jazz, nice drink menu and tasty food. And.... they accommodated our group of 8 without a blink

Awsome atmosphere, good food! Wish there were a club near my home in Sacramento that compared.

Great musical venue and the Santa Barbara City College Primetime band was stunning. It is an expensive venue to go to as you must pay $20 at the door plus order food which is on a limited menu. So expect to pay for your experience.

They have a Motown night once a,month had a great time

Most events get crowded, bar is always well staffed to serve. Great music venue because there is room to dance.

Solid bar for solid music. I wouldn't just go here for a drink but the music and the vibe is awesome

Very savory. I'll return with my friends. The prices are well within reason for the quality. My apartment is far from here, so I can't visit often.

The English Beat great music never disappoints a blast from the past!

Ordered my tickets a month in advance. Still got back seats. Plus they make you by 30 bucks worth of food. Stupid place. Don't go here. Not worth it.

Great place good casual dinner good prices the music was wonderful they make my daughter who happens to have deep autism, wonderful, we definitely are coming back

Had a good night listening to live music, food was good and staff friendly, only giving 4 stars as not many customers so it lacked atmosphere for a live music venue, they need to do more marketing to get people in!

We went here for Motown Monday. Lots of fun and free to enter. Thanks Soho! Drink selection has enough variety for all.

I went to a senior citizen burlesque show and it was only a little bit creepy and disgusting. Still had fun though

Nice place to see a show, never had the food there but it's definitely the spot in SB to see the kind of music I like.

Pretty good service at the bar! Great place to see live music!

Fun way to spend an evening. Great staff, awesome live music by Mendeleyev the night we went. Good food and I really enjoyed the lavander mule and rosemary fries.

Great little venue that hosts intimate shows with awesome musicians.

We saw Gene Evaro Jr open for Moonchild tonight and when I tell you that they were BOTH amazing. I decided to buy my bf the tickets after learning he was a fan of Moonchild. We'd never been to Soho so we had no idea what to expect. We ordered a couple drinks and the vegetable pizza. Although we felt the menu\drinks were expensive..the over all vibe of this place made everything worth it.We had an amazing time and want to go back

Always nice to catch up with great friends here. Really fun to see Flamenco SB!

I love this place, I met the owner of the Restaurant, (women owned) and she was so nice. I loved the food and the service too, Amazing entertainment too..I saw Medicine for the People that blew my socks off and I loved what kind of people this place attracts..It was an amazing time, it felt like family...I highly recommend this place...

Saw a great spoken word performance in the lovely little theatre area. The restaurant is really iffy. The food isn't very good although the wait staff are very nice. Pricey for what you get.

Love playing here. Full house tonight. Great staff, great music!

Watched an awesome Live Show Here The Other Night (Mexico City Blondes) and had an all around Great time. The energy of this place is awesome, and the bar is solid as well. Had a Moscow Mule and came away satisfied. Popular spot in a prime location on State street so it's a perfect fit to include in your night life lineup!

It's a really cool vibe but drinks were really pricey 12 bucks for an adios is usual but for a tall glass not the short one. and felt like not enough ventilation went threw besides being in the crowd feeling something would of been pleasnt lol

Soho, more like so-so. Food was 'ok', service was incredibly weird (didnt take my partners plates but took mine? Had to ask to be served even though it was a sit down restaurant? Drinks were never refilled, etc.) But food came out fast even though it was too salty and a little bit flavorless. Not sure I would come here again of my own accord. Bummer, had heard great things about it. The coconut cheesecake is bomb though, if you're there for any reason, order that and unlike everything else, you will not be disappointed.

Got to see Chelsea Cutler in the front row, awesome concert

Like the ambience and variety of performers. Good food too. Wish we had a similar club in San Luis Obispo.

Great venue for all types of live music. And the dinners are good too!

Be sure to visit Soho when the Jazz Jam with Jeff Elliott is on, Monday night's

Loved it for the live music. Great and intimate venue for that. Food was expensive but reasonably good.

Great place for a small concert, there was a good vibe in there and the equipment was able to shake the whole building which is always great.

The sound here really depends on the music in my experience. I've seen many shows at Soho and the acoustics vary dramatically from show to show. Food was just OK with some exceptions. Service and people are awesome! Great Atmosphere and the staff is well organized.

Simply too much cigarette smoke intrusion from the patio. My wife had a bad allergy attack and we had to leave.

SOhO is a unique music venue, clearly run by people who love live music of all varieties. it also happens to be a place to get great food and drinks.

if you're around on the right night, you never know what legendary music magic you might encounter...

Cool little venue, kinda small, but easy to get a good view
