SoHo Room should not be confused with now closed, superb, (exclusive) beer & wine bar The Room that was literally down the block on Sullivan, nor (I believe still open) its great sister bars The Other Room and Another Room!!!! This SoHo Room is a nondescript sports bar that's a tad short on items like a pickled onion for a martini. (They did have one alcohol beer option for me.) My brother, sister-in-law and I ended up there while waiting for our table at Sugarfish across the street. One drink was really enough. There are so many other great places to drink in the city, including throughout this neighborhood. Definitely recommend The Other Room and Another Room, but don't know why someone would go to the SoHo Room!!! read more

Worst experience with a female bartender with a deep voice. Made our whole party feel so uncomfortable by talking about us to other customers saying she cannot stand tourist. The other customers felt uncomfortable as well as one of them looked over to us and said "don't let her get to you guys, enjoy the city" read more

SOHO Room is absolutely NOT a bar you would like to go too as a tourist. I decided to check this place out since it looked interesting, wondering what drink would be good & was received by a rude women. When I say rude I mean RUDE. No respect, towards customers nor her job. As customers, it's not our fought that you dislike your job. She was looking at some type of way non friendly & was making small comments that I was unclear what she was saying to customers but were giggling. So I stood up and left. If you the owner of soho room is reading this, I advise you check on your employees attitude before your business worsens for the people's experience. read more

The lady working in the morning/afternoon super rude. As soon as you walk she greets you very aggressively not friendly at all. She will talk about you with other customers in front of you. read more

The waitress/bartender was VERY RUDE & DISRESPECTFUL !!! She stated she hated tourists & continued to complain to other customers how annoyed she was, while the customers proceeded to tell us to just ignore her. Very unprofessional. I won't be going back & I wouldn't recommend any tourist go either due to her having such an ugly attitude to paying customers ! read more

It's a difficult place to describe. SoHo room is quasi-dive. They play a loud and eclectic mix of music including hardcore rock, adult contemporary and Mexican pop. I enjoyed the martini. read more

SoHo Room - Gin Martini - American Near Me - New York, New York

Neighborhood bar with darts and tvs which is a welcome respite in Soho. Perfect happy hour bar-though I don't know what their specials are.

Place is definitely a little divey, they recently remodeled the place after being closed for a little bit. They remodeled everything but the restrooms and back of house which honestly they need a little upkeep on. The food here is bar food. Nothing fancy. The beer and service is usually pretty good so that's why this is riding out a 4 star. read more

Came on a Friday night while waiting for a table at a nearby restaurant. The bar was full but the bartender was attentive and quick. Drinks are cheap considering the location with well drinks running $9. We sat at a 3 top table in the main room. Music was good and not painfully loud. Mixed crowd. Would recommend! read more

Came to the Soho room with my boyfriend as he loves this spot everytime he visits NYC, the atmosphere is welcoming and the bartender Jimmy made the visit and cocktails that much more enjoyable, if anything we would come back just for the personality of Jimmy alone. read more

The regular bartender is always polite and attentive, but the young woman bartending tonight was clearly wasted, so visibly drunk that she had no business being on the clock. My friend and I remained patient but unfortunately her inebriation affected her ability to do her job. We ordered two drinks, she promptly forgot about us. The regular bartender tried to serve us and she interrupted him, explaining she hadn't forgotten about us when she was clearly at the other end of the bar watching football. She then got combative and defensive, asking us why we were in the bar and where we'd come from. She eventually served us and bizarrely demanded that we weren't allowed to yell at her when both of us were just sitting there chatting with each other. Half an hour later, she's showing videos on her cell phone of a man masturbating to two patrons at the bar. The women she was showing the videos to were mortified. I love dive bars, but this bar has some serious staffing issues they need to address. read more

I came in for happy hour with my girlfriend. It so good to finally have another lesbian bar to go to. A real gem to the lgbtq community. Thank you Soho Room read more

I eagerly came into the bar to watch the World Cup, but didn't stay long due to the atrocious attitude from the waiter. I don't like to give 1 star reviews, but I think potential patrons should know what to expect from this establishment. I was originally seated in the front and scoped the back to relocate for an open seat with a better view of the game. The waiter followed me and with a very snarky, reprimanding attitude said, "you can't just go sit at another table. You need to tell me." There's much nicer ways to communicate this to your patrons. I immediately left because of his rudeness and unprofessionalism. read more

Great place to chill and vibe out. Bartender Jimmy is the best, super friendly, great drinks and a really nice guy!!! read more

I visit NYC often and always make time to come to the SoHo Room to see Jimmy. The bar is a fun spot, meet friendly people and have the best chats and laughs with Jimmy. Thanks for another great visit Jimmy, can't wait to see you again soon! read more

Hosted my boyfriends 30th birthday here and Jimmy and Lola and the gang were so incredible. They helped with the decorations and went above and beyond to make it the most memorable day! Soho room is our new favorite bar and we will definitely be back! Amazing space, amazing staff, amazing energy! Love it there! Love Jimmy! read more

No frills bar that serves decent priced beer in the area. Lots of room in the back for group seating, and plenty of TV's to catch whatever game is on! read more

This place has a special spot in my heart as we went on opening night. Soho room opened right down the block from us, we have been looking for a sports bar in the area without having to trek over across W. Houston to the west village. This bar has a good mix of people, you can request music through an app, and has the most friendliest bartenders. We love Mike, Liam, Jimmy, & Jeremy. They all offer such great & prompt service. This is a great pre-dinner / post-dinner spot. There is a back area with lots of seats if you come with a group. Amazing prices considering it a bar in Soho. We've been there 100x times and love it each time. read more

Decent place - I sat at the table and not the bar. Waitresses were attentive and friendly to my app and drink order. It doesn't have the best quality beverages but it'll do if you want to catch up with people. Definitely better if you want to order a beer at an affordable price. There is a rotating beer though, which was Ocktoberfest when I went. I ordered mild wings for an app and it was fine. All in all - not a bad place if you're in the area and need a place to go. Keep in mind that the place looks a bit old and dim. read more

Love this place! Came here with friends after work for a drink and had the best time !! The bartenders Maggie and Jeremy were so great and I can't wait to come back again soon ! Best aperol spritz ever :) read more

A neighborhood bar with a full menu of beer, wine, signature cocktails and bar food We found this place randomly as we were walking around the neighborhood for a pre-dinner drink. We had no idea of what to expect since it looks like a typical neighborhood bar in NYC. Nice atmosphere and prompt service. Good to stop in for drinks read more

I came here one night after a concert nearby. It was a'ight. I had a few beers. Their craft beer selection was just okay. There was some Germany wheat beer that sounded interesting. I don't think they give samples #rats. I wasn't keen on spending $8 on something I wouldn't like. But I can have Blue Moon and it's fine. Full bar, and their barkeeps were knowledgeable about music. Really good music jukebox selection! read more

favorite place to go during the week, fantastic bartenders staff and now new menu. You just cannot beat the prices,

Great bar for what it is. A casual pub with a good draft selection and always friendly bartenders. Been here multiple times for beers but never food. A few more TV's would be nice, but they have two that get the job done. read more

Love Jimmy. The best bartender in Soho! Had a great time. Go when Jimmy is there and you will have a great time!

The bartender working Saturday night knows how to make an amazing old fashioned. That is all. read more

Went to a friends birthday party here and it was a great time! Went on a Saturday. Jimmy was the manager working and he made sure we had fun. read more

I stopped in here for a snack and was pleasantly surprised by how nice the wait staff was. I'm not from NYC but you hear that everybody is rude and after randomly speaking to people on the street and no one speaking back, it was refreshing to get help from Michael. The turkey burger was really good and the brews were hella cold and sudsy!! read more

SoHo Room - American Near Me - New York, New York

Popped in here for a couple of beers while shopping. Vivacious bartender. Unpretentious atmosphere. I thought the Coronas were $4, according to a table tent. Cheap enough. When I got my bill . . . happy hour. They're $2.50 each. Oh yessss!!! read more

As other Yelpers have mentioned, this place has really changed. First off, there is a narrow small bar area, which is nothing special. The back room used to look like a cool bar, with dim lighting and couches. It was a great date place. When I went last week, the back room was now more of a restaurant. There were a few loungey chairs in the middle, but they worn and ripped. The menu was small, uninteresting, and over-priced. The drinks were also over-priced...even during happy hour. $9 for a dinky vodka and soda was too much for this dump. Also, our server was not very with it. She didn't know the details of the happy hour and had to keep running back to the bartender to answer our questions. She didn't know about some of the menu items. The restaurant also did not have some of the menu items available, according to our waitress. After she told us this, the manager ran out of the kitchen to whisper something to her...At one point they decided to dim the lights, but made it so dark that people had no idea what was going on. One of the waitresses had to complain and even then they only raised the lights a bit. After a little bit, the waitress came by to tell us she was leaving for the evening (it was only about 7:45-8 pm) and the other waitress could help us. After all of the commotion and disappointment, we just closed out and left. By the way, when I went last year I ordered the BBQ chicken wrap, which was just ok. My friend had the burger and did not like it. Not recommended at all. read more

Don't go here for their beer selection because there isn't one. More of a college feel bit the location makes it easy for an after dinner cocktail. I got a pumpkin ale with cinnamon sugar on the rim and it was like drinking dessert - definitely try! read more

SoHo Room - Pumpkin ale with cinnamon sugar - like dessert! - American Near Me - New York, New York

Bar seemed OK on entry - fairly chilled with an average selection of mainstream beers. However they have - hands down - the rudest bar staff we encountered during our trip to NY. Bad attitude, dirty looks, slow service and staff even started an argument with one of our group. Looking at other reviews, seems this is a regular complaint. Do yourself a solid and avoid this place, there are many, MANY better & more welcoming bars nearby. read more

Not happy. I walked in with a large party, which the bartender should have been excited d for. He was not. He was very rude and rolled his eyes when anyone asked for a drink He went far enough as to tell us to shush. It was very disrespectful and I will never come back again thanks to him. His name was Chip. read more

I usually do not post any negative reviews but this one makes me do it. The place is terrible!! Ambiance is awful. No energy. But the barman was extremely rude! I could not believe it and tried to talk to him. He did not care! I left before even finishing my drink. DO NOT GO THERE! read more

SoHo room is supposedly one of the cheaper bars in the area, although I'm not entirely convinced of that. I should really know better than to go for a mojito at a place like this, but all their signs were forcing me to be adventurous. I should have stopped my order when the bar tender mentioned she doesn't like to make mojitos, but I insisted on having my favorite drink only to be hopelessly let down. I should have gone with my gut and headed to Botanica, there was nothing but mediocrity crawling out of SoHo Room. read more

Old decor, only one toilet working which water( I hope) was leaking from the roof. The place needs a major overhaul but service is decent

My favorite neighborhood bar. The food is surprisingly amazing and the staff is so approachable. It's exactly the place you want to go for a reasonably priced drink in SOHO and great food. There's something for everyone! (PS: Great late night bar for just the vibe to have a great conversation and meet some cool people!) read more

SoHo Room - a busy city street at night - American Near Me - New York, New York

Great place! I hosted a small (25 people) retirement party for someone in our company. The food and drinks were great, service was awesome. Pricing was very reasonable for the neighborhood. Even with the holiday approaching SoHo Room had the best pricing in its class and it was everything I needed it to be. Between our Server, Food Runners and the guys cleaning up after everyone they did such a great job. We will be back! read more

This is a fun dive bar! They have decent sandwiches too, the bread is thick and tasty. It's a good place to get bar food paired with a drink. It definitely satisfies that craving. They have a really nice wait staff too read more

Atmosphere: cozy. Hospitality: neighborly, witty, engaged and personable. Michael, the Bartender, makes you feel at ease, objective, non-judgmental, and very witty. Quality: comfort food was satisfying (chicken nuggets and spinach artichoke dip was fabulous). The ambiance was the main reason for an enjoyable evening. -Michelle and Jordan ;) read more
