SoHo Room

Love this place — the bartenders are friendly and the environment is relaxed. Spent hours here one afternoon at the bar after shopping and no one tried to rush me out. In fact, met a few friendly people in the process and had a great time. :)

This is a great place to meet up after work or before dinner or a show. The people that work here are really nice, especially Danny the bartender. The prices are fair and the food is decent bar food. It is full of normal people not pretentious Soho Millennials. Something I really appreciate.

I regret coming here, it seemed like a chill place, but the servers weren’t good and the food was even worse.
To get to the point: I ordered the Soho Chicken, which looked amazing on the menu: Chicken, olives, artichokes, sundried tomatoes, etc… What it turned out to be was a gristly chicken cutlet with ALL CANNED/​JARRED black olives, pickled artichokes, sundried tomates, and sauce. It wouldn’t have been so bad, but it was $ 17. What a waste. I had a few bites and couldn’t handle the rest, only disappointment followed.
The hostess was nice, but the manager and server/​waiter/​busser dude seemed to have beef between them. They were both wearing Budweiser polo shirts, the kind distribution companies give out for free, so it gave the impression of a sports dive bar. The waiter even made us feel bad for not eating all the food we ordered.
Our tab came to be $ 200 for about 6 people with tip and I think it would have been better spent anywhere else.
Advice to management: Serve a smaller range of food; you have mexican, italian, and many others. Focus on some more simple bar food, don’t try to impress everyone because it will only disappoint. Also, be friendly to customers, but don’t make them feel bad for not eating food that doesn’t taste good. If anything, offer them something else if you can tell they didn’t enjoy it. Finally, don’t wear free shirts, it cheapens the vibe and makes me question things, especially when I ordered a $ 17 entrée.

Happy hour not too special. Only a few dollars off and limited to only certain beers. Cocktail was weak. So best thing to get in the happy hour is the house wine.

I’m usually not one to agree with everyone… but I do. It’s a very easy-​going, very unpretentious, bar. The back room– more restaurant than bar– is large and good for groups. As the night progresses, your server may change (we had three), but they’re all friendly, with good smiles and a shared fine sense of humor.
The sliders and wings were both nice, if not spectacular. My only complaint is that, in a large plate of sliders (I think there were a half dozen… maybe 10), you could not mix the meat… all beef. all pork… all whatever. It’s a sample plate that you can’t sample!

– Drink Club is a roving group of NYC drinkers, a different bar every week

Decent bar with space to hang out and talk, right off of the E train. I’m not sure how much the drinks were (since my darling bf picked up the tab), but if you like SALTY martinis, this is the one for you. It’s like dunking your head in the ocean. ALMOST too salty– so may be too salty for some. We didn’t eat, but food looked pretty good. Service was good, they lingered but didn’t pester too much. Chairs were comfortable. Just a nice, easy spot.

I stopped here on a whim tempted by the happy hour sign while I was shopping. Eh never again. I ordered the three tacos. they were dry as heck and a sangria. I had better sangria. I guess it’s a spot one stops in to cool off for a bit but stay away from the food.

The place is cheap considering the area and the servers are good, but the food is too traditional.

Just got cocktails. Beer was great. Martini at 11am why yes. Bartender was personable which really makes the atmosphere. A good local place to just chill out for a drink. Didn’t try the food but around lunch everyone came in for a burger so I’m sure it’s good.

We got drinks with attentive service and the zucchini sticks and quesadilla were good bar bites. There is more seating in the back, bar can get crowded.

Love this no fuss local watering hole. Mike the barman is beyond reproach and there when you need him.
I just ordered and devoured the special SHRIMP CEVICHE– OMG this dish should become a permanent fixture. Delicate, flavorful and generous serving size. I’d eat here every night just for that ceviche.
Make sure you stop by in a Monday night for discounted beers at the bar.

We love this place. I just like to have an occasional martini and theirs are $ 15. Sucks because they are nothing special. Love their food though, still eat there, just order soda now.

An easy going bar, catch up on some sports, take a break from all the walking and shopping in the area. And one of the only of its kind within walking distance of SoHo.
Very unpretentious.
I love the sarcastic, sassy and joyful bartender ‘D’. She made the night.
Typical bar food.

Ok don’t get the lychee martini because the bartender doesn’t know how to make them. I am a bartender back in the Philippines. Alyssa and April are awesome!!! They’re super cool :))) went here for some late afternoon drinks then Pegu but Pegu sucked. This is better. And way cheaper

Didn’t eat here. Just drinks.
Place is really laid back and a bit upper scale than normal pub’s.
People are a little older and the atmosphere is really nice and authentic.
They seemed to have an extensive list on beer and also the food looked good.
Would go again!

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

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.

I come here pretty often (multiple times a week). And I’ve been coming to this location for 20+ years, since it was Nick and Eddie’s.
What I like:
— Half priced happy hour beers
— Lunch specials
— When I come, it’s never too crowded
— You can always get your phone charged
— Eclectic group of locals, tourists, and after work crowd. People are usually friendly and I’ve had some fun times with new people here — like yesterday/​last night!
— One block from my house
— Everyone who works here is pretty nice and friendly
— The very cool icey Stella tap
— The bartenders make good drinks and know what they are doing. Noël is the best!

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!

SO divey. But good and non-​pushy service when we stopped in a touch before last call one night.
The bathrooms are a little sketchy, but nothing unexpected.
Decent prices for the part of town, too.
