Great Live Shows

by muzika89 at Citysearch

From the outside, S.O.B.'s doesn't look like much, but once you enter through the doors and the music starts, there is no way a person can't enjoy themselves. From Jamrock Haitian music to Hip-Hop artists, there is music for everyone. Solvillage with Eric Roberson hosting was a great experience because he is upbeat and knows how to keep the crowd entertained between acts. The acts themselves, while very different, worked well together without seeming forced. Going to any performance is a great way to spend the evening, especially considering there is excellent food and drinks as well.

• Pros: Music, Atmosphere

Thank you again for your patience and hard work.

Hi Lourdes,

I've already mailed a thank-you card, but wanted to follow up with an email as well. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you and your staff for making my birthday party Saturday night soooo special. From the minute I walked in, the SOB staff not only welcomed me and my guests warmly, but remained attentive and accommodating the whole night. Everything was perfect. I had suuuuch a wonderful time, and I'm so glad that I chose sob's for my celebration. I'm definitely recommending you to anyone who needs a great place to have a party. Two days after the party, people are still emailing me to tell me how great it was. It was fantastic and I owe it all to you and everyone at SOB's!!

Special thanks to:

Lourdes (event manager)

Peter (the manager)

Jane (our waitress)

and all the security staff.

Thanks again!!!

There was a MARCHING BAND at our Birthday PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!

by rachelbff at Citysearch

I have to tell you… that was one of the most fun nights that I have ever been a part of in NYC EVER!

We had the best time, and I owe it to you... Lourdes. S.O.B's is incredible

Everything ran completely smoothly, we had about 40 people there total for our party…but then they started inviting friends as the night went on. We had an amazing dinner, sparklers on our birthday cakes, a full marching band come out and play, beautiful dancers, awesome music, and the best memories made.

All in all, we stayed there until you closed, and cannot wait to come back again.

I still cannot believe there was a marching band at our birthday party, sparklers on our cake, and those mojitos… oh my god good.

• Pros: the marching band, the dancers, the drinks, the food, everyt
• Cons: that we had to go home

Great place for large parties and dancing

by lostinthecity1234 at Citysearch

My friends and I decided to celebrate a birthday at SOBs on Saturday and we were really pleased. The place was pretty crowded but the hostess was friendly and sat us immediately. The service was really great. Our server Monica was really energetic and fun. She made great recommendations and knew a lot about the menu. She also had another large party to take care of and was always pleasant and attentive. The food was pretty good and the drinks were strong. We really enjoyed the music and the energy of the crowd. Definitely the place to be on a Sat night. When our bill came, we didn't notice that gratuity was automatically included and tipped anyway. Monica came back and let us know that the gratuity had already been included. We were so impressed by her honesty, we ended up leaving her extra anyway. The only complaint is we spent a lot on dinner and drinks and a $7 (per person) music charge was added to our bill. Seriously?! Didn't we spend enough on dinner. Overall, service was great, music was amazing and we will definitely be back!

• Pros: Service, drinks and music
• Cons: $7 music charge after spending $$$ on food and drinks

Delicious Brazilian food!

by ilovebrazil84 at Citysearch

I came down to S.O.B.'s for my 25th birthday, I know over the hill! Haha! I had such a great time. My friends have never been before so it was a treat! they loved it. It's like a secret oasis in the city for wild dancing to Brazilian and live world music. And the food was delicious. My tongue was dancing too! We ordered appetizers of Empanadas, Ceviche, Coconut Shrimp and a pitcher of Mojitos. Fabulous, all of it. Cannot wait to come back for Salsa night.

Best birthday party ever!

by mauimindy at Citysearch

I had my 40th birthday party at SOB's last weekend and it was amazing. The food and service was excellent. The featured band "Alo Brazil" was exceptional. It was the first time my guests attended SOB's and they loved it. If you're going to have a group of 10 or more definitely contact the Special Events Manager, Lourdes Perez. She was very helpful and gave me a good price. Overall, it was a very memorable event. I highly recommend it.

• Pros: music
• Cons: small space

Best spot for Live Music

by Marley7 at Citysearch

I've been to SOBs three times now and I must say that this is the best spot in NY for live music. The club has a nice look to it and I like that the artists onstage feel accessible to the crowd. Overall the place is popping and always rocking. They had a night where Kanye, Common, Mos Def and Swizz Beatz all shared the stage...it was INSANE!!! And the food is also tight, they have a good menu with dishes from a lot of different places. Overall a good place to check out if you're into tight music and good food.

-Kevin Marley

• Pros: Tight live music for a good price...

Cool Brazilian Spot

by mestre18 at Citysearch

SOB's is the name that usually comes up whenever people start talking about experiencing

Brazilian dance/culture around the city. Great place to do just that, dance your legs off. Food is okay, but there are much better Brazilian restaurants in the city if you want that.

Unfortunatelly the place has been diverging from the pure Brazilian rithms so make sure to call or visit the website before going there. Keywords to watch out for 100% Brazilian fun: Carnaval, forro, samba.

Still going strong!

by surenh at Citysearch

SOBs has been around for a while and it's still going strong. Peter, the general manager, is really friendly and helpful. I had to organize a birthday party for my wife a few months back and he made sure we were well taken care of. I didn't have to worry about a thing. We had a great time dancing and drinking and the staff was awesome!
