It's definitely the music that puts this on the top our list - SOBs never goes wrong. Everything else about the venue is great! Don't grab a table b/c they're to the side. Stick to the front row! Read more

I must say, Lauriana Mae gave me what the f*ck I needed! She is such an amazing talent and Kwame hasn't aged a bit. The show made up for the late start, so it's all good.

Rent a semi-private space or the whole restaurant at SOB's for your next event ! We love the Bailamos Party Package (open sangria bar !) and the Bassa Brunch : http://ow.ly/7bc4S

My first time there was a pretty special event and I had a great time. Going back for a brunch at the end of this month and I'm looking forward to it.

Kailin Villamar

Great music and drinks. Somewhat expensive but a great time if you want to eat and have a dance floor after. Gets somewhat good after 1130pm, beware

Silvia Rincon

If you reserve a table make sure to do it in the earlier live shows, later the DJs sucks. If this is a traditional latin place then why do you have to play hip hop music ?! It has no sense

Candy Camacho

We had the chicken quesadilla and ribs ???????? drinks were also on point ????

Dee Phunk

Shows can be hit or miss here depending on if the sound feels like behaving or not. No longer one of the BEST live venues in the city but still historic & legendary. STILL supporting hip-hop.

Anthony Vidal

Great vibe, food & drinks were good

Jazzie Chanel

This place was great for live music . Quick service at the bar with an eclectic crowd. Would def go back

Avery Green

Sol Village is amazing it showcases up can coming r&b artists once a month

Washington Square Hotel

Opening in 1982, and known as the “Home of Universal Music ," S.O.B.'s still features the ever popular Brazilian night. Great live music and dancing .

Village Voice

Critics' Pick winner of The Village Voice Best of NYC 2012 Best Place to Catch Acts Before They Blow Up the Blogs!

Gabriel Hayes

Great place to see hip-hop live shows. Can see many acts before they hit it big.

Christian King

Sol Village is dope every 3rd Wednesday. Ask for The dj Urban Philosopher... Cool dude. Great vibes

Ryan Price

Good venue the back area near the bar is a perfect view of the stage.

Stephanie Tan

Love the venue but bring cash. They add 20% gratuity on credit cards on already pricey drinks.

Christi Thegirlking

Security is pretty thorough, and they confiscate writing implements like sharpies, so leave 'em at home.

Racquel

Very nice and drinks were delicious and strong.

Willie Bigs

Great live show 9/2 featuring In Jones We Trust #HowToStartAFire

Steph Ferreira

You have to get the espresso martini ! If you love coffee it is an absolute MUST!

Isaiah Greene

Don't get there early. Shows always start late. Get there 2 hours after start time and go straight to the bar !

Lauren Joy

Go for basement Bhangra, come early $5 cover with one hour open sangria bar !

Sandie Beresford

Love this place! Caipirinha 's are the best

Best venue for R&B Music in NYC

They split the line into 2 and let the group that arrived last in at the same time as those who arrived early. Annoying.

Natalia Quintero

Come here for great latin music & salsa dancing .
