Soho

I would normally not give a bad review to a gay bar since I know we’re struggling, but this instance stood out. 5/26/24, we were having a good time at Soho and it starts heavily raining - heavily enough that the ceiling starts leaking. In of itself, not the end of the world, whatever. But, a second leak started that was falling literally on the barware; not just the exterior of the shakers, but also the strainers and other tools that directly touch the product going to the consumer. I attempted to bring this to the attention of a bartender and his response was (the gist), “yeah it leaks, we suggest you step away”. I specifically pointed out that the leak was falling on the barware and that was the response? It was pointed out to another bartender who did take action.

Two years ago, I experienced discrimination where I was refused a water. I didn't forget the incident, but I forgave the situation and went on my way. I am a professional musician and enjoy spending my time singing with other people. People in the world also demonize me because of my appearance. One month ago, the police were called on me by one of the lesbian bartenders: I asked for a drink. And so refused to the point of screaming in my face. I have little tolerance for disrespect and waited for the police to be called because I felt unsafe by her. Do NOT go to Soho. It is not an inclusive space for anyone; especially Black men and Persons of Color. All I did was ask for top shelf whisky.

Popped in there looking for a comfortable space while in town, Soho was highly recommended. The bartender was fast and pleasant, nice smile. The other guy wasn't making drinks but was a lot of fun and offered suggestions for places to eat. I'll definitely be back when in Detroit again. Lot's of good shops in the area for health foods too.

It’s like the gay cheers!! I can’t give it a five star because it’s not a place to hang if you get claustrophobic. However, it’s a really fun place to day drink! Everybody is chill, friendly, and if they aren’t already your friend, they will be by the time you leave. The staff are great and help maintain the upbeat vibe. Plus, it has a nice little patio to people watch while you get your buzz on.

Very accommodating environment, I definitely enjoyed myself and the drinks. Wonderful staff, it was good to hear about the history and community aspect of Soho. Check out our YouTube channel Michigan Streets and Eats

Great local bar ️‍ great drinks and wonderful atmosphere

SOHO is the best. I’ve come here for years and they are awesome. Fantastic outdoor seating and some of the greatest service.

Love this place. This might be a smaller bar, but they have a front and back patio. They also make good drinks at a great price. I recently had to stop drinking, and they make amazing and creative mock tails. Staff is friendly as long as you are friendly. Treat them with respect, and they will return the same. Reminds me of a small hometown bar. I feel like family when I am enjoying my drink. If there is an issue. They address the issue quickly, too. You have a problem. Let them know. Can be rather busy some nights, but the bar staff work hard to try to service everyone as quickly as they can. I feel very comfortable being myself in this bar. Great customers also.
