Add to that a bartender that never forgets anything and awesome music...what more could you want. That's right, Thursday nights include an awesome open mic. Lots of local artists and some visitors (I met a performing couple from Virginia) show up to entertain us all. You're sure to hear songs that you know and love as some of the musicians play acoustically and some with driving electric tones. Don't forget to visit the restrooms upstairs. The men's room is interesting and quite tight but nicely appointed down to the guitar-shaped mirror. I hope to see you there!

It is with shame in my heart and tears in my eyes that I must admit I have been in Augusta for over…read more13 years and not once stepped foot inside Soul Bar. Was it proximity? Of course not. It's on Broad Street! And it's near Stillwater Taproom, Nacho Mama's, and now The Book Tavern. Was it the appearance from the outside? Of course not. It looks so cool in the front windows and I knew there was a billiards table in the back. I also knew the history of (circa 1995), but somehow my feet and love for all things bourbon and rye did not draw me across the threshold. Until that fateful afternoon. Thankfully I have a mentor who spoke of its greatness (and his nostalgic connection from years gone by) and knew he must right the wrong that was my lack of patronage. We met up during Happy Hour and within moments I had entered a new world. Movie posters (authentic, not cheap replicas) everywhere. Art from front to back. The bar was lit up and one of the televisions had Mortal Kombat (the game) setup. We walked the length of the place, which will surprise you the first time you venture inside), and I learned more in depth the history of this bar. As if the assorted seating, plethora of drink choices, and the presence of an actual dance floor wasn't enough we went out the back door. There I learned about the "smoking section" that holds about 30 folks. Tables, umbrellas, and benches all await. But honestly it looks like the cool kids table I remember from school. I'm told the place can get packed when a DJ is onsite or a popular band. After a couple of drinks and good conversation, he asked me what my thoughts were on the place. I explained it like this; this is the kind of bar you go to regularly or not at all. Like, I don't see a bunch of new people wandering in every night. Just the usual crowd. And downtowns need more bars like that. Just as a coffee shop has a unique vibe from the others, so do bars. And all reach a certain demographic. So the more we have, the more people come which is just plain out good for the local economy. I'll also add that the bartender seemed to be having fun. I only mention it because some bartenders are never having a good day. Just saying.

The burger was cooked very nicely and the wasabi mayo was def the highlight of the meal. For an Americanized restaurant the Curry Katsu was actually wonderful. The gyoza could have been a bit better, but not a bad appetizer by any means. It's just your typical bar/restaurant, so the vibe is pretty normal/okay. Would go back for a nice lunch.

The workers were polite and willing to answer my questions.

They have their signature cocktails or you can ask them to make something. Nonetheless, prices were surprisingly good compared to what I had expected. I ordered 3 drinks and spent $31 without tip. The inside is very cabin-y and cozy. They have an upstairs which is small, but the outside is cute for a group hangout. I will say though be aware of parking. It gets full fast! Their lot gets filled up quick, the side parking lot by the florist also fills up, and also the place across the street fills up too. It may be smarter to uber for the sake of parking. Overall, definitely would come back here for the drinks and the attentive service I got here!

You can tell them an idea if the type of drink you would like and they'll make you one of the best cocktails you've had. The parking lot is skates clean, there's ample seating outside, and shine lights it may get a little loud, but it's always clean.
