SOMA SAN DIEGO

Small venue where you can see bands up close and personal. People complain about the laxk of air circulation, but you can go outside easily. Great merch prices and water is $3. Great employees! Everyone is so nice. Plenty off parking if the show is small.

The show was awesome the venue is okay. Big open space but the lights could be updated. Sound was decent until the head liner went on then it was cracked way up and distorted the person rapping.

My daughter invited me to go with her, she bought our tickets. It was my first time being in the place. In the past, I have picked my kids up out front.We saw her favorite band, actually 4 bands played that night. Great lineup, great sound system. The place was safe, and people were having fun.

Extremely hot venue. Sold out shows are packed with people. Dress light and stand by the right side doors for a cool breeze. Water is not allowed in but they do sell bottled for $3. The stage is not very elevated and the floor is flat so its hard to see if youre short. However, some performers use the screen in the middle, as pictured. It also gets very loud inside. I recommend using ear plugs. Parking is free at the venue and theres free overflow parking at the sports arena next door.

Had my first show at SOMA - San Diego this past weekend, and it was a great experience. Overall a really neat and fun venue.What stood out the most was the exceptional security team! Every interaction I had with security there was amazing, from the ones at the door to check us in answering all the questions we had and guiding us before going in, the security at the barricade being friendly, bringing waters, andmaking sure we were okay, to the security closing out the night making sure every fan was able to talk to the artists that were out there with no rushing. An amazing security team, that truly made the experience and our night.

I recently attended a live performance at Soma and was thoroughly impressed by the entire experience. The show itself was absolutely fantastic—each act delivered high-energy performances that captivated the audience from start to finish. The sound quality and lighting were top-notch, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the event.One aspect that truly stood out was the exceptional security provided by the experienced staff. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that safety was a top priority. The security team was professional, vigilant, and courteous, ensuring a smooth and secure experience for everyone. Their presence was reassuring, allowing us to fully enjoy the concert without any concerns.Overall, Soma exceeded my expectations with its stellar performances and outstanding security. I highly recommend attending an event here for an unforgettable and safe entertainment experience.

Very good venue for artists presentation. The staff is very friendly and the events are well organized. Nice experience on August the 3rd with Buddha Trixie.

I made the rookie mistake of not researching the venue before buying tix to a show. ALL THE ONE STAR REVIEWS, BELIEVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!Absolutely NO VENTILATION at this venue. Like how is it even possible for this place to be in business 😭😭😭i got lucky and read to stand by the exit door cus they open it to get SOME air but then kept getting VIOLENTLY SHOVED EVERY OTHER MINUTE by security trying to get through the crowd to rescue the girls that kept passing out im sure from the lack of air. (I get they’re doing their job but if the venue had any type of HVAC, security would not have to be so aggressive)i would never come here again, not even FOR FREE. parking is limited so if u risk on coming, get there early. I saw many purses of all sizes so i don’t think there’s a policy on that.Idk how people rated more than one star lolyes you get to watch your fave artists in an intimate setting but you’re for real risking your life, don’t do it 😣 this venue is not iti learned the hard way and the worst part is i drove from LA 😂 smh

Good venue and most shows are all ages. There is a bar inside the venue. There is also free parking and a lot of free parking. Usually doors open an hour before the opener starts. They also have a lot of opportunities for people to see the performer with meet and greets.

Solid venue for the right size crowd. The box office girls were super nice and patient with me and my friend when she couldn’t pull up her ticket. Easy process to get in, security guards were accommodating.

San Diegos leading all-ages venue for punk and alternative-rock concerts.basement area, known as The Dungeon (Which was the actual freezer room for the slaughterhouse)that held approximately 100 people. It was in the dungeon that many local San Diego bands got their first opportunity to play at the club.In 1994, SOMA moved to a former warehouse at 5303 Metro Street, just south of the University of San Diego. Major artists such as Faith No More, Fugazi, Pavement, Radiohead, The Ramones, The Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer and Oasis performed here, as well as many local bands. The venue closed in 1999.In 2002, Paul reopened SOMA at its current home, a former multiplex movie theater that was renovated into a concert venue. Walls dividing individual theaters were torn down to create one large area for the main stage. It can hold up to 2,300 occupants in its main hall, and the side stage can accommodate 500+. Many of the theaters old production offices have been turned into dressing rooms for the bands which overlook the audience. There is a snack bar and merchandise area in the lobby.On September 22, 2016, SOMA served beer in the side-stage room for a show by the band Descendents. This marked the first time in the venues history that alcohol had been served. The first person to ever order a beer inside of SOMA was lead singer Mikey Carnevale of The Frights

SOMA is by far one of the best venues in Southern California. Came to see the SIR show and had a great time. Plenty of AC and the staff especially Security were very accommodating and made me and my partner feel safe. I recommend this venue to everyone.

The worst venue I have ever been to. They do not run the AC even when full to capacity. Two people fainted and got carried away before the main act even came on. The crowd was begging the band for water. Reading other reviews, it legitimately sounds like someone faints at every show. How is this legal?I also witnessed a security guard verbally assault a younger attendee for saying “Yes ma’am”. Unreal behavior.Since it is an all ages venue, most of the crowd is very young so expect to deal with rowdy people. People were pushing their way to the front and complaining that no one was moshing. At one point, a group of girls spilled their nail polish on the floor leaving a horrible stench.Between the agonizing heat, rude youngsters pushing through the crowd and general bad atmosphere I had to leave the show after 30 minutes for my sanity. If you are a concert goer, go somewhere that is 18+ and has ventilation.

Its standing only, and they do serve beer, but the place is actually pretty big. I was surprised in a good way. The concert that we saw was excellent!! Light show, no matter where you are in the venue, youre right there, and you can see the performance up close. I preferred this interactive experience to being in a big stadium far away from the performer. Will definitely go again.

Worst venue in SD if youre over 21. Drink list of things you couldnt give away at a house party for $11+ lol! Show up feeling good. Else your just in prison. Aside for that the music aspect is good

Limited bar options at 2-3x retail price, but bar in the lobby has lower priced water soda snacks but cash only. You can use the ATM for an extra convenience fee then still be asked to tip. Sidestage is just mainstays farther back with no incline for different/better viewing and no A/C in GA.

I really enjoyed coming to this venue to experience a concert from one of my favorite artists. The venue is more intimate which makes it great for general admission tickets. I personally paid for a VIP ticket when I visited SOMA and I’m thankful that I did because the audio/sound was a bit off at several points during the performance. I also noticed that the acoustics of the building aren’t the greatest which provides a challenge if you want to hear the concert clearly. I still recommend this place because I think it’s a great opportunity to view your favorite artist in an up close setting. Additionally, this venue is family friendly so you don’t have to deal with pot addicts and alcoholics ruining your experience. The staff was very organized and cordial, they gave concert-goers waters during the performance which was an absolute lifesaver. The venue was also pretty clean by the end of the night, which showed that the staff care about maintaining the venue in a good condition. I’ll be coming back to SOMA, I still had a magical night!

Great experience seeing Sevendust, it was my first show at this venue. Had a great time! Good acoustics and sound, lighting, etc. Large open standing space with breathing room between people. A couple fights broke out, and security kicked the initiators out quickly. Security was in the pit with people which was cool to see. If I had one feedback its that drink selection was limited to Bud Light products - this is hardly craft beer as advertised on their website. Still, the venue sounded great for a rock show, which is what matters most.

Sound is good, but the venue gets so insanely hot to an unsafe level, I couldn’t believe it. People in the front rows were begging the band for water, and the band was handing people water bottles!! No one was dancing even though the music was great because it was too hot to move. They’ve got to get some AC in there.

Soma sidestage has got to be the best place to see up and coming artists. Livingston blew me away. His show was so awesome and to be so close mind blowing. So intimate a concert setting, I loved it, would definitely go here again.

Ive been coming to Soma since I was a teenager and now Im in my 30s. I have seen so many great artists here. If its a bigger artist youll wanna get here early. Parking is free but limited and there is overflow of free parking in the sports arena. Outdoor security is amazing. They remember me every time I come, theyre so kind. Since the beginning of time air flow has been a problem. It gets hotter when more people show up. For the safety of artists and guests I wish they did something about it. Sound is better up front than in the back so of course getting here early is important for a lot of reasons. There is a ledge on the left side for those who want to sit, like I said space is limited. Sidestage is awesome. Its really intimate for artists and their fans compared to mainstage and it gives people and opportunity to hear new music especially from local San Diego bands who cant quite make it to mainstage yet. Overall this is a great venue besides it being a little outdated and air flow situation.

Great venue overall! Free parking which is amazing. They have a pretty poor beverage selection if youre not into IPAs though. There was only a Bud Light seltzer as the only non-beer adult beverage, ugh...

I feel discouraged to go to concerts at SOMA because its confined, dark, hot, slightly hard to navigate and just one same level flat area to see. Im not in my 20s anymore either haha. But, the acoustic is unbeatable (loud and clear, recommend to bring ear protector), theres free parking, the last concert I attended started sharp on the clock (love it for that) and security was giving out free water in the front (much love for that too).

Always a great show at SOMA because this is a great venue! So many positives experiences I dont even know where to start. From easy free parking in a great size lot. Easy and fast security at door. Once inside youll find merch area off to left side and bathrooms down the hallway to your right. Bar inside was easy to access. The staff and especially security are nice and friendly. The acoustics inside are fantastic. One of the more positive good-feel venues in San Diego. Some of the best concerts Ive seen have been here. Cant wait to be back!

Nice venue. Easy parking. Easy entry. I will definitely watch for other upcoming shows.

Most UNPROFESSIONAL security ever! Bald guy harassed me hardcore because I was drunk, just standing, chilling and watching the show I paid for? Legit manhandled me out, might as well take away their liquor license if they dont want people having a good time. I think the security like to manhandle women and its gross. Neither I or my friend did anything wrong. Get some new security staff.

I’ve been to this venue three times and every time the artist performing had to stop what they were doing to check in on someone who wasn’t feeling well. This place is NOT well ventilated and even in the winter when the temperatures are cooler it still gets much too hot in there. The floor isn’t slanted at all and the stage isn’t very tall, so it’s pretty much impossible to see if you’re not tall. It takes a very special artist to get me to go to this venue, there are so many better, more accessible venues in San Diego.

Saw LP last weekend. Other than sticking to floor due to a lack of washing the venue was good. No bad viewing spots! Great sound!

I love this venue, always a fun concert. Security was super friendly as always and so were the concession people. Will be back for sure.

Great local spot, huge bands play there. Easy ticketing experience, good security & easy parking. Cash only for water, red bull & earplugs. Small selection of craft beers; pay with card or cash for beer.

Not super fancy or anything. Its actually fairly simple when it comes to venues like this but I personal liked that it was on the smaller side a good bit. Overall less people and I managed to get really close up to the performer! The food bar only takes cash which is annoying but what can you do? Overall solid. I would definitely go back if there was a performer I really liked.

Probably the worst venue. I could not see a single thing for the entire show. I stood in several different places, and not thing made it better. I am above average height. this was such a disappointment. I drove from out of town, and it really ruined the experience. I would not recommend a show here.Also there was no airflow, and I am pretty sure someone passed out during the show.

This place has kind of an industrial vibe to it but thats kind of a classic feel for a venue like this. This was my first show here but the acoustics were great and there was a good view from most spots on the floor. Cant say I loved the line management for the swag counter but thats a minor gripe. It checked all the important boxes and Id definitely come back for another show here.

Couldn’t buy a water unless i had cash. beer and white claws we’re literally $15. They scammed me buy giving me a tall can the first time then my second beer came in an 8oz cup. upon saying something about it I was told, that’s how it is.

Came here for a Pierce the Veil concert on New Years Eve. The venue itself is relatively barebones, but that’s not to say it’s not a great place. It is just one large stage for the most part and a single standing area, i.e., there is no separate area for VIP or any seats anywhere. There is a small platform though off to the right of the main stage for handicapped persons, and the view from it looked to be pretty good. Bathrooms got pretty messy pretty quickly, and nothing got restocked so they were out of soap and paper towels. They could also stand to add another restroom, particularly a women’s restroom. Line gets pretty long. But overall, it was a great experience and the venue itself was capable of putting on a great party!

SOMA is a venue that’s been around for years bringing incredible talent and amazing people to San Diego for us all to enjoy. The venue is loud sure, but isn’t that the point? Tickets are well priced, there’s always something going on, and I can’t recommend it enough for what it is. Go and enjoy why don’t you? You won’t regret it!

It gets hot in the MainStage fast. The A/C is hardly ever on. I went to see the kid Laroi here for memorial weekend, even he kept complaining to the crowd that it was hot. Nothing was ever done.There is a security guard that searches people at the entry. The 3 times I’ve been here, she is so incredibly rude. If you want to have a condescending conversation, she’s the one to have it with. I never got her name, all I know is she’s African American, and completely insufferable.

I cant for the life of me understand why this place is still open. It is the worst concert venue in San Diego. Youre essentially packed into a dark, slanted, thin room with bad acoustics. If youre short and want to see the concert, youd better be in the front row.

Great venue.Lines go very quickly, easy to navigate, staff is very kind and on it!

We had a great experience seeing The Interrupters and Hepcat. The staff were polite. We did not use the restrooms.

Great show with Ricky Montgomery (and Noah Floersch!): well ventilated, plenty of standing room, nice atmosphere. Ricky was awesome, as usual!

Amazing venue been to this location many times for other concerts, but Ken Carson was definitely the best!

Went here for Armin. Not very a suitable venue for the king of trance but not all are bad!Pro:-Friendly staffs and surprisingly even the bouncers.-ID check for alcohol wristbands during the line does sped things up.-Bass is strong af (can be a con if you stand right in front of it tho)Con:-Restroom is bad from open to close. (and that doorless stall, you can watch the bathroom line while you poop!)-Stage area could really use some AC.-$9 for a tiny cup of beer :)

It was a decent sized venue. It looks a lot smaller on the outside because it’s in the corner next to a couple of other shops. Parking is very limited (~200 spaces). Overall a good experience for a concert.

To be transparent upfront, I have yet to attend the show Im considering. I just want people to know that it is very difficult to get accessibility details that arent just about wheelchair access. I emailed them a few days ago and tried to call this evening when the box office should have been open, but neither got any response. I just want to know if there is any way to have any seating at main stage shows, because after being hit by a truck a few years ago I cannot stand for 2+ hours without serious pain.To their credit, at least the wheelchair details ARE listed clearly on their website.

The venue was extremely hot, with no air circulation. Also, the sound system wasnt ready when the performer went on stage. So, the artists started singing and had no sound on the microphone. The singers were great, but it was so hot, half of our group had to go outside and listen from there.

Not just the worst venue Ive ever been to, this place can be dangerous. I overheard one of the merch guys saying the fire marshal wanted to shut down the show because the merch lines were blocking the exits. Parking looked like it could be tight if you dont get there early. Also there were plenty of broken glass bottles in the parking lot and I was there too early to blame it on rowdy concert goers. They dont take cards for beverages/water so bring cash because this place seems to operate the same way it did when they opened their doors.Aside from that, the floor is flat so good luck seeing anything unless youre near the front. For some reason, whoever handles the lights kept shining brutally bright white lights into the crowd. I left early even though I love Cannibal Corpse because the extremely bright lights gave me a headache. During the first bands set, the vocals were inaudible, during the second bands set, the vocals and guitars were inaudible. I cant imagine a worse space to hold a concert.

Great venue for all sorts of genres. My only knock would be the lack of bathrooms! It gets hectic even for the mens restroom.

Great all ages venue! Cash only and you do have to get there very early because the main stage gets crowded easily, especially for a sold out show.

Zero ventilation, no food, horrible acoustics, only serves beer, and you can’t buy water without cash (but you can buy beer), no water fountains, just bad. someone fainted during the opener!

If you have anxiety or have trouble regulating your body temperature I recommend bringing a hand held fan if you can because it is EXTREMELY hot inside. Even in the fall and winter. there were a couple times I had to step outside because of the heat and I went in November. Another iffy thing is security, they’re pretty rude. Was screamed at because I had forgotten I had hand sanitizer in my jacket pocket. Was pretty intense over some hand sanitizer. Getting in was pretty quick and seem-less, was able to find a spot inside within a few minutes. I had early access because I bought vip tickets so I don’t know what general admission would be like because this was my first time going. Everyone who played was amazing and sounded great inside since main stage is so open. it was just those two things that made the experience a little less than what it could have been. Overall was a nice experience. Mother Mother killed it and were awesome!

People faint left and right at this venue.They pack you in really tight and there is 0 airflow. I also asked for water and the security guards were awesome and brought it to us, however, they said that they We cant give water out to just everyone. I proceeded to share the water with like 10 people around me because they were exhausted.Just after that, people started fainting and they proceeded to spray the audience with water...wild. They passed like 10 water bottles back also and thought that was enough.Also, you have to have cash to buy water. I think that was also a massive issue and a really easy problem to fix (take credit card).Also, one of the women security guards outside was harassing a bunch of young women. She was being horrible to women and just kept yelling at people for no reason, making them feel bad.I probably wont come back just because how much of a safety issue this place is as well as the woman security guard. Kindness doesnt exist here. :(

Great show but venue is way too small for the amount of people. Literally only barely standing room. No room to breath.

Id rather go to any other music venue than here. The sound is awful and has not gotten better over the past 10+ years, which was the last time I was here, until last night to see The Descendents. Its also hard to see the stage if youre shorter. Btw, they dont adhere to their no bag policy or requirement to have a clear bag thats bigger than your hand. I saw kids with backpacks and plenty of large purses. Beer line went fast so theres a plus.

Worst concert venue I’ve ever been too. It was over crowded. Security was no help. You can’t see the artist if you’re in the from mid way all the way to the back. there was no screen. The floor was flat instead of slanted. The parking lot didn’t have any designated parking spaces. People were parked all which way. Seems like the perfect place for a dance hall or a quince, not a music concert.

I took my niece and her friend to their first concert last night. We saw Bryson Tiller and he was amazing! I really just wanted to come on here and give the Soma security team a big thank you! My niece got a little nervous when the crowd got a little tight and so I decided to pull her away and walk out for a minute. Security saw us right away and saw that she didn’t seem to be okay. They took such great care of her and helped her calm down, got her water and let her pet their service dog. They also managed to find us a section that wasn’t as crowded and the girls got to enjoy their first concert. They all worked as a team and made it such a great experience for us. Thank you so much! You guys were awesome!

Venue is good for its size but the ventilation is terrible. This could be upgraded for sure. They did pass out water but it was way too hot.

My girlfriend and I went to see Sabrina Claudio and the venue was alot bigger then I imagined. We got a good spot and the people were nice around us. All in all a great concert and good vibes. Price for tickets was a steal for what we experienced. Thank you Soma and Sabrina.

Saw The Struts here Feb. 2020, and was pleasantly surprised by the location. Reviews werent great, but we enjoyed how the high ceilings made it feel really open. The sound was great and the intimate crowd size = great energy from the performers. Im 54 and stood about 2/3 of the way back where the floor of this old movie theater gently sloped up and could see well enough.Didnt mind the all ages thing, saw a few pretty young kids (

We enjoyed the Stand Atlantic/With Confidence/Cemetery Sun/Census show immensely! The show we were at was on the side stage, so I can’t speak for the main stage, but the sound was great, the bands were awesome and we had a lot of fun!

Everyone at Soma was amazing! We brought our 4 kids to see Vance Joy and the staff was amazing. We had issues with our tickets purchased from vivid seats (will never do that again) and they helped us get it all sorted out. I’ve never encountered such a high level of care and service. They could have very easily turned us away and went on with their very busy night but instead helped us work it all out. The show was amazing and the venue was really fun. Can’t say enough about the staff. Thank you so much for helping us tonight! Our kids will always remember tonight and we won’t forget how helpful and friendly you were. Can’t wait to be back for another concert!

Worst concert venue in San Diego by FAR!!The building is old, outdated, and there are extremely limited restroom stalls for a venue that holds 2,300 people. Inside the concert hall there is extremely limited space, which is a crowd crush waiting to happen. The only way to contact this venue is through email, and they wont even respond. Whoever is managing this venue really needs to do better. What a joke.

This place is pretty cool. There are several detractors. For one, the bathroom capacity is insufficient for the crowd it holds. Additionally they do not serve alcohol -- at least they didnt the time I came here to see Young the Giant. They said, the show was enjoyable and the acoustics are solid. It is also conveniently located adjacent to the San Diego Sports Arena.

Great venue with plenty of space for general admission. Perfect for those that like the pit environment.

Great venue, arrive early for up close experience you wont be disappointed.

Had an excellent time tonight, got to see my home girl perform💯💯❤️❤️❤️☺️☺️☺️☺️

No no no ! The worst venue ever in terms of parking. They do not have enough of parking so if you park in any of the business centers they will tow your car! This is the line to Western Towing! Just take a Ride Share.

Great concert venue for short concerts as their is only seating in VIP area. Women’s bathroom line was outrageously long so they stopped the men from entering the men’s bathroom and let half the ladies in line, use the men’s. LOVED & appreciated THIS!!!

Nice enough venue but just like some of the other reviews have said it gets HOT in there guys.Like PANIC HOT.Luckily me and my friend were off to the side of the venue and people weren’t pushing up against us but a couple people did faint in the middle.The security guards had to throw out water and the singers stopped a couple times because they could see people waving for help or flashing the word “WATER” on their phones.Soma you really gotta do something about getting some better ventilation in there or a stronger industrial HVAC system.I don’t know if you’ve had incidents like this before but tonight was pretty scary since it was a younger crowd and they were falling out left and right.Please try to fix this issue!

Decent venue, very well organized security Team is friendly and funny, especially the African American lady has a great scene of humor! The venue needs more air conditioning and ventilation though ! Overall nice place to go for a concert !

It is an alright venue. It is near a Chick-fil-A and Chilis. The staff were nice and funny!

Soma is a pretty good small venue. Its intimate, but still has space so it doesnt feel too cramped, even when its close to full. Theres an outdoor smoking area, a couple of bars serving standard concert drinks, be sure to use the bathroom before the show starts because a line will form. Bring ear plugs if youre sensitive to loud noises because it gets hella loud depending on who is performing. Ive been here twice, definitely will see more shows here.

Small more intimate venue. Downside is poor ventilation, beverage selection is limited.

Went to a show and the show was great, but there was a very rude security guard. Bald guy with a grey beard. I made it past the pat down security and my girlfriend was next in line to get pat down. I told the guy (he was at the door) that my girlfriend had the tickets on her phone because she bought them as a gift. Security guy mocked me saying “yeah right, nice story”, accusing me of lying. Then when she came 5 seconds later and showed the tickets, the security guy scowled at me, asked my girlfriend if she was okay and told her in a very weird manner, “blink twice if you need help”. It didn’t seem like a joking tone, and it weirded us both out. It was very unprofessional and ruined the first part of the show for us.

Pretty unique and intimate live venue with superb acoustics and sound, against the backdrop of a retrofitted cinema which makes it one of the coolest venues to catch a live gig. Caught Plini here a couple of weeks ago, and it was something else! Highly recommend catching a concert/gig here if you can!

This venue has ventilation, sound and light issues. I could not imagine going to a rowdy show in the summertime here. I came for a mellow artist on a cooler night and it was way way too warm in there. The sound was awful. I felt bad for the artist

The customer service here was horrible. We went to see Victoria Monet. My wife was extremely hot and thirsty so I tried to buy a bottle of water but they only take cash and no card so I asked where I could get cash and they pointed to an ATM that was out of order. I then asked since it is out of order where can I get cash. She said she wasn’t sure and I asked if I could leave to get cash and she responded if I leave that I can’t come back in. What kinda unorganized venue is this. No vending machines or anything, I had to ask a Bartender to give me a cup of ice so my wife wouldn’t pass out. I wouldn’t recommend fans to go here and I deff wouldn’t recommend any artist perform here unless you’re tour is on a budget.

WAY WAY better than it used to be! Thank goodness they serve alcohol now and have opened up the rooms. Need more bathrooms but otherwise so much better!!

Currently here for Victoria Monét and BOY is this an unorganized space. I’m from LA, came to SD because I figured it’d be less hectic than LA. Bar only takes cash. Merch table only takes card. Last minute upgrade was made known to us as the concert started. Left the concert space and went back outside to box office—they only take cash for upgrade (upgrade is used lightly). It is a set of stairs to the exit. They sit you at top of stairs. They have no inside air, but box fans lol. Security is rude, security dogs also here. Just a truly run down not updated place.

Great venue with a great sound stage. Drinks arent too expensive. Only downside is if you need to use the restroom get ready for a relatively long line

Went to see a concert here with 3 acts and the venue was so hot that the acts each stopped their sets to allow patrons who were overheating or passed out to be cared for…each performer had to stop their show because of how hot the venue was…each performer! Even during their sets, each performer had mentioned how hot it was…each act did this! Ridiculous!

Venue is pretty solid from a viewing/sound perspective but it gets pretty hot and security around the pit is absolutely ridiculous and ruins the vibe. I saw like 10 kids get dragged out by the neck from the security guards for doing pretty typical things you’d do at a metalcore/hardcore show - felt like security just wanted to show how big and tough they were.

Awesome venue. Love that security monitored the mosh pit rather than break it up and they took down the crowd surfers when they could. Worth the 8-hr drive we did to go there!

This was a pretty great venue and I enjoyed the sound and the staff. Its kind of mishaped and makes it hard to get around and have a full bar, but otherwise Great experience

I like the venue. We just saw The Backseat Lovers concert last night. What I like and appreciate the most about the venue is the security and staff. They’re on it and they’re friendly and helpful. Lines went quickly to get in and out of the concert.

Very basic venue. Paid extra for premium viewing and it was a joke. The place is basically a warehouse, premium viewing is a slightly elevated platform with no seating & only good viewing for about half the spaces they sell. Sound engineering for the main act was so bad that it was physically painful. There are so many great venues in this area. Skip the strip mall warehouse & try out Humphreys by the Bay or Music Box downtown. Even if you love the band, skip it. Only upside was nice staff and security.

Soma has been a staple for me for over a decade now. They have a side stage for small venue feel and a large stage, which they ingeniously adjust the size of the room via a back curtain wall depending on how big the show is. I often skip house of blues Anaheim to drive down for a show at Soma. Its just a great venue for the type of shows I go to (hardcore, metalcore), and they dont sell alcohol which is a MASSIVE plus for hardcore shows. Maximizes the energy and removes the possibility of your typical dumb, drunk fights occurring in the pit. Soma + Chain Reaction for life. Thank you for existing.

The main mic didn’t work for the first 5-10 minutes. How does that happen at a professional concert venue? Are they amateurs? Plus people kept passing out. Too many people in the venue, and it was probably some type of safety violation

This place is a dump. I thought it was run down 15+ years ago and they havent done a thing to improve it. The place stinks like stale beer, the carpet in the halls is foul with gum stains all over, womens bathroom was flooded with 1/2 of water (and god knows what else) last night. Ownership must not care about anything here. Hard pass on this gross venue for future events.

Worst venue. Staff is nice but... No air. Hot as hell. Overcrowded. Not enough restrooms. Bring cash or pay the high fees for their ATM. The artists were saying how hot is was even. Seriously this venue needs to be updated. Fire codes? Theres a smoking lounge that basically feeds smoke into the hall where you have to stand for the bathroom. Their phone number doesnt work & they dont answer their email or chat. Seriously hot.

Overbooked the show I went to so it was insanely crowded to the point where I felt it was dangerous. The area around the place is super sketchy and they employ teenage kids to be “security”. The speakers were ridiculously loud (I love loud music but it was way too much even for me). worse yet I lost my drivers license and have tried reaching out to them by phone and by email (of course their phone number on their website has been disconnected) and there is no info on their site about retrieving lost items. So yeah avoid this place, I definitely won’t be coming back.

I was honestly scared to come here because of the reviews. We were so not looking forward to this venue we waited until 930 to come thinking a main band usually comes on at this time...and we were wrong. The headliner came on at 8:30 and played until 10. We missed nearly the whole show. A show we paid $100 to see and had been waiting months for. So let me tell you dont be afraid of this venue. The bathrooms were fine, theres a bar, theres ventilation..The staff were less than friendly but all the other stuff wasnt bad. Uber driver did tell us it was a bad neighborhood and not to walk out of parking lot but didnt look too bad. Anyway learn from us. Go early and dont assume they arent going to be closing at 10pm! Such a bummer

Had a freaking great time here. Pennywise does not disappoint. This was a great concert place for pennywise. Had a blast with all my friends and we had fun

I was given a reservation for Premium viewing in section A but when I arrived to the venue Nicolla informed me that they were not able to honor that agreement but that she would put me in section B. She never contacted me to honor that either. The phone number on the site is not a working number and the only way to get in contact is through email and thats if staff responds. The bar only has beer and seltzer drinks. This place was a big let down, I will not be going back here.

Venue wasnt bad. Show was fantastic. Staff was rude and unorganized. Not enough people running the merch stand, so we waited longer there than we did to get in. Security was overly aggressive, which normally I can get behind, but these employees were power tripping on a crowd that was mostly minors. Id give it another chance though. Might have been an off night.

Great experience! Though kinda crowded and dont got much room to roam around. Pretty much elbow to elbow if its a big artist playing. But if you dont mind a little stranger sweat then this is for you 😅Also the line to go into the venue was surprisingly fast! Even though it wrapped toward the end of the building! Huge thumbs up on getting everyone in

Big venue, gets hot if you’re close to the stage, but pretty clear views from anywhere you stand. Definitely would like if the back was a bit more elevated and maybe some more air ventilation in front, I’ve done both

Horrible experience from standing in line to when we were walking out. The female security up front was so rude to everyone and screaming to the point where she didn’t make sense so no one understood her. The venue was filled with smoke the entire time while everyone was squished together. Then they decided to announce the show will be rescheduled 2.5 hours AFTER it was suppose to start.

Everything was great here except they had only 2 different types of beer.

This space is not accessible and has no infrastructure to support the disabled. I was treated very rudely when I asked if there was an area to sit as I cannot stand for long periods of time. Staff directed me to sit on the stairs- which were sticky with drinks, had no visibility when seated, and were serving as an active passageway for others. This option where I was both a hazard and inconvenience was the only option offered. I tried to ask concert goers if I could sit on the side they refused to give up their seats and were mean to me. Staff didnt help even after being alerted to the situation. It was highly depressing runing my experience and I wont return. I encourage others to not support an inaccessible space.

Came here to see Mac Ayres and loved every minute of it. Just a couple things to note if you want to see a concert here (as someone who’s been to about 10 now):- Get here early, like an hour earlier than the ‘doors open’ call time if you want a nice view of the stage- If you’re short like me (I’m 5’2”) maybe invest in some comfortable platform shoes hahaha- The crowd will be dependent on who you’re seeing, I’m lucky Mac is an RnB artist so the crowd was chill but my brother saw a Rap artist in this same venue and the crowd got pretty rowdy to the point that my brother’s friend that he was with passed out.- People taller than you will push past you to get to the front of the venue- You will be very close, if not body-to-body with other people, luckily security propped the doors open so it wasn’t dreadfully hotOther than these things this was a great venue and I’d return to see another artist that I love as much as Mac. I also would recommend this venue for anyone else wanting to see an artist they really love :)

They tried to murder my ears. I went for a metal show, which is supposed to be loud, but you know its too much when even the teens are wearing ear plugs 😄 Decent crowd. Would maybe come here again, but not my first choice for venue. Sound quality does matter! Also annoying that its cash only to get a bottle of water.

Awful venue, never coming here again. Was excited to see a band I really like but the experience made us leave early in disappointment. The venue is dirty, smelly, and hot. The sound is too low and is only audible if you’re standing in the first couple of rows. Not recommended if you like to watch concerts from a distance and not be inside a mosh pit.

Really sweet venue! Staff was incredible as well. Id like to give a shout out to Ron especially. Were from out of town, on vacation, and went to see Wavves perform. My brother wasnt feeling too well and almost passed out, shaking and stuff. Not sure what caused it but I can assure you it was not drug or alcohol related. Thats besides the point. Anyway, Ron let us outside to help him cool off and have a little privacy. He brought him a bunch of water, an ice pack and some pretzels. He checked on us every once in awhile because he still had a job to do. But he made sure he was good. He was a really nice guy and genuinely cared about what was happening. Im sure hed treat any other patron with the same care. Thanks again, Ron! Really great vibes at SOMA. My brother started feeling better and we got to see one hell of a show! 11/10 for sure.

Loved my time there for Livingstons concert!

Honestly, I just want to thank the security staff for being awesome this evening! They really did all they could to accommodate for my husband since he is disabled right now with a scooter. They didn’t need to but they helped a lot & we really appreciate the efforts made to make him comfortable. 8 years ago we went to our 1st concert together at SOMA & we returned tonight after a very long time but we loved it. So thanks for an amazing night!!

This will forever be the best concert venue.

A lot of neat shows and artists come through here. In my experiences parking has always been pretty easy. The last show I went to had beer being sold on the side stage. My only complaint, coming from a non-audio professional, is that the audio system seems to be set to be max loudness, which drowned out the bands mids and highs. Missing mids and highs made the music sound super heavy, which was indeed pretty cool and got people moving, but vocals and tight guitar/drumming was hard to discern.

Wonderful show. The Crinson Opera. Thanks, SOMA.

I will never come back to this place. Run down, old. No air flow at all. We were all sweating. The staff were rude. One lady in particular so rude to all of us in line while she was doing her security checks. Yelling at all of us and insulting us. If I wasn’t with my daughter I would of made a scene and brought this up to the management. This lady needs to be let go. We as customers spent a lot of money. Especially us in the VIP section and for her to be rude is uncalled for. She really ruined our whole experience. I will NEVER COME BACK TO THE VENUE!!!!!!

The venue was legitimately unsafe - there was only one way in and out and it was 80 degrees inside. The bars would not sell water and directed you outside which was completely inaccessible because of how crowded it was. Do not recommend and would not return.

Information on a show was hardly available. Venue wasnt what I expected, stick to my side of town, drove out 2+ hours not worth the headache.

Went here for a sold out rap concert. The sound setup was slightly distorted and the ventilation was the worst I’ve ever seen. The security had the emergency exit doors open just to help a little bit, but they’re only on one side of the room so there’s no flow. No overhead circulation. I’ve been to dozens of moshpit/front row rap concerts and festival sets and have never had issues, but I found myself walking to sit on the stairs by the door because I was seeing spots by the time the openers were done performing. Breathing hot recycled air is not the move. Bar, Snack bar and bathrooms were pretty cool but having to stand on the outside of then crowd just to breathe was not ideal. Aminé is touring next year and I will be avoiding Soma and going to the show in Anaheim. 2/5 stars :/

A decent enough venue for a concert, got a free ticket to the Chromeo concert. It appeared a bit run-down with the walls having tatters but it gave the place a relaxing feel for a concert. The sound was good and the parking around the place was good which is always a concern when attending a big event. Pretty crowded for a Wednesday night too! It was an 18+ show so no alcohol which was freaky for me, its been a while since Ive attended an event where booze was not served!

Ac didnt work.. they should have an elevated area so you can see when youre in the back.. but glad they had free parking.

I was talking to my friend about a night I was here back in 2015 to see Rise Against and thought I should come give back to the world a bit. It was basically a perfect set in my perspective, and Ive seen them a ton. The venue is incredible also. It is all GA so my ticket got me all the way to the front. Its also a small venue so its a personal experience to see an act there. Once they go back to SOMA I cant wait to road trip back out to San Diego again to see them.

My first and LAST time going to that venue. It was extremely hot, the stage is leveled with the floor. I couldnt see a thing. It ruined my experience

The location is not the greatest but I really like the security staff inside the Venue.I did not like that people were smoking and vaping.Sound was good and there was food and drinks for sale. Parking was good, easy in-out.

It was my first time there. It really went beyond my expectations for a small venue. Really cool place to hear live music.The sound was really good here, far better than other big venue Ive been to. The staff are always friendly.

This place has the vibe of an abandoned, haunted bowling alley. But the side stage sound was pretty darn good for a venue of this size. It wasnt too hot and there was room to move around. Having the smoking section near the side stage was kinda lame for people who dont want to breathe smoke.Neighborhood is not great for pre or post concert gathering.

Good venue. Affordable shows. Only real complaint is standing on a sloped theater floor for several hours is a pain, Though watching the kids mosh pit tht was constantly going uphill/downhill was entertaining. Stage divers... dont do a flip!

The best Armin concert in SD. It was great !!!

Always been back stage here. Such a cool small venue. You feel really apart of the show. The band hang out area is def seedy and full of history. I find myself wondering what all has gone down on those couches and in between those walls up there above the concert main floor. Such a cool spot to chill and watch a show! Tucked behind the Bigger concert arena so its easy to miss but, private parking lot makes getting to a show here a little easier!

Run down. No air flow. Extremely hot. A few people passed out when I was attending a concert there. Avoid at all costs!

You cannot take sealed water bottles. There is only 1 restroom. They pat you down instead of having better security. They sell water bottles inside for $3 only in cash!

I thought the Venue was good, I went to the HORSE the Band show and it was great. The venue had plenty of space for lots of people, there was an actual stage for the artists and they allow the crowd to mosh. Might not be the best in SD, but one of the best small band venues I know of.

I texted before the Jinjer concert to make sure there was access for wheelchairs. They got right back to me. My son was able to attend and had a great time. This is a fantastic venue for popular and local bands.

This place is awful, my daughter went here for a concert last friday, people passed out, because you cant breath in there, there where minors drinking alcohol(16y/o) and the staff is very rude

Went to the sold out show for simple plan, soma was not it!! was horrible!! the place was so jammed pack that even to stand in the back entrance of the main stage was unbearable.. there was no air flow whats so ever, its was so hot and humid in there... Just from standing and watching, we were soaked in sweat, left not even half way through the show, i love simple plan and was bummed we couldnt stay for sum 41 but that venue was awful, never again..

Been to this venue multiple times. Venue staff always kind. Bathroom lines tend to become insane

One of the greatest venues for concerts.

It is a PUNK rock venue so dont expect to have specific creature comforts , if you expect a grungy punk vibe you will have a great timeOverall, Great big ballroom with spectacular spund with 9 dollar beers and 2 bathrooms. Abd a smokjng lounge

The two concerts Ive seen were at Soma. It was alright but it gets REALLY hot in there since there isnt any fans or anything.Also, very sweaty. Its a nice small venue though..Its good for first timer concert goers. Just remember to bring money for water because they wont let you bring any in.

Chill venue lots of parking spacious inside

Because I seen Armin Van Buuren there and it was awesome

We recently went here on a Friday night when Alt-J was performing. We were stocked that a place this small had booked Al-J and were excited when we purchased our tickets for a great price when they went on sale. Thats about where the excitement ended. As our event date arrived I looked up the venue and the concert details so that we could make our dinner plans beforehand. That is when I learned it was an all-ages venue and by all-ages, all-ages. This includes no booze and lots of a 18-21 year olds running around. Once inside the venue, there was a massive line for the womens restroom and women were being escorted out of the venue for using the mens restroom. I get that they have rules, but maybe they should add some more restroom facilities. This was all well before the concerted started. Once we went into the MainStage area and joined the other 2000 people, we quickly realized there is no A/C here (or if there is, it doesnt work)! While we waited for the opening band we were already dripping with sweat. Kids around us were getting high, sneaking their booze and all around getting crazy. Thank goodness Alt-J was amazing to see or we would have left very quickly. We prefer to go to venues that arent all ages, that have A/C and that dont pack 2000 people into a sardine can. Prices for the concert were great but not worth enduring that environment. We wont be back here for a concert.

Went to the Subtronics show on 1/22/22.The women’s bathroom wait was over an hour and the staff wouldn’t let reentry to go use another bathroom and they wouldn’t let the women use the men’s bathroom which had no line. My girlfriend got a UTI because she had to hold her pee for over a hour waiting. This place doesn’t have a liquor license So they only have beer however at doors open we’re sold out of half their selection. The men’s bathroom didn’t have any hand soap during Omicron outbreak we couldn’t even keep our hands clean and the staff wouldn’t help either. All in all this was a giant safety hazard and my friends and I will never go again!

Great old school spot to watch bands!

Update, issue resolvedGreat venue, my daughter enjoyed the show last night. If management is reading this, please provide contact information so I can discuss an issue with a merchandise transaction. I called the number listed and it states not in service.PSA: be careful when purchasing merchandise, I was overcharged. I purchased my daughter a $60 hooded sweater, I found out the next day that I ended up paying $100 by looking at my bank.statement. Always verify your receipts. Managment also has not returned my emails or calls regarding this matter. Poor leadership.

Sound quality is poor, the staff were not nice and the lines for the restroom and the snack bar were crazy! Probably the worst place I’ve been to. The only upside is the free parking place.

Need speakers/ tv prompt in the back where we can see the stage.

My husband and I went to see cuco and it was INSANE, getting in was fine I mean there was a crazy long line but it was moving fast. The place didnt really have the a/c on and that caused the inside to get super stuffy. There were a lot of people and most were young and dumb. I mean dont get me wrong, Cuco was great and is great but I would probably recommend looking up the demographic for the concerts you wish to attend because if a lot of young people like the artist THERE WILL BE PUSHING AND SHOVING. WE LOVE YOU CUCO!!!

Saw Hepcat (kind of) and The Interrupters in late May and the venue was awesome! Easy in and out, great times all around!!!

They were very accommodating of ADA needs.

Nice venue, and they always have great music acts, but I cant stand that they seem to purposely keep the mic sound low for opening acts. You can never hear any of the singers and it sort of ruins the experience.

Great venue, with plenty of room to mosh, crowd surf, and catch your bands close up!Celebrated halloween here and was one of the most fun nights I have had. The metal bands in costume helped out.

This place is AWESOME. I saw Juice Wrld in August 2018 and it was amazing. Everything from sound to the stage location and everything was awesome. I’m coming back January 26th to see Trippie Redd and Im going 7hours early to get the front because we know that’s the best. I’m so excited. I recommend this place to all my friends because to be able to see your favorite artist super close for super cheap tickets, why wouldn’t you want to go here. Thanks SOMA for making my experiences great. It’s awesome to get to have venues who care about the people. I check often for new artists coming and excited for whose coming soon! I will update you on how the Trippie Redd concert goes.

Pitted so hard here inside and outside with fests theyve had. All these yrs Soma has supported small local bands starting out. Mainly only have seen hardcore metal shows here. Such a cool venue! Took my son to his 1st World of Pain beatdown hardcore show here too and all the bouncers were really cool and made sure we had earplugs for him. Merch is right as u walk in outside the 2 stages they have. Big stage is mainly for big popular bands so they can fit a larger crowd like when i saw Blink 182 here. But dont get me wrong, seen sum legendary hardcore shows on the small stage. Madball, terror etc. Worth your money. Sound is great im sur depending on the band and where u are in the venue. Been almost 20 yrs since ive seen my 1st show here and can say Soma will give u a night to remember. Up close and personal with any band u want to be. Gotta see a show here

If your idea of a good time is listening to distorted bass in a poorly ventilated room, then this is the perfect place to go. The only redeeming quality is that there are sometimes good bands/artists performing here.

As always an excellent selection. More importantly the professional assistance in finding a proper fit & style of bra for my wife was exemplary! The best part of this store is the attention to service!

Really cool place to here live music. The sound is always really good here, I mean they must have some great sound guys! The staff are always friendly. Ive been going here for 15 years and never had a bad experience.

I called for two days straight to see the information about the wheelchair access… never got a response and couldn’t make it to the concert without the information i needed🙃

They only took cash! And the place was old and needs some renovation

My kids come here and it always looks safe I have even attended a concert twice here when my son played the inside every one smoking but you cant drink inside or go in and out and my grandauhger went to her first concert Shoreline Mafia on Friday and there are alot of security i fell it is safe its not expensive

Sound system / acoustics are the worst Ive ever heard at a professional venue. BYOB because they dont sell alcohol here either. Amazingly, besides all that, they actually pull good bands.

I will never go to this venue again.There is no AC and no Airflow. Its like trying to dance in a sauna for 2 hours. Expect to be completely drenched in sweat....

Such an amazing place saw beartooth and motionless in white here and the sound was just amazing there really spacious. They have bathrooms and served us drinks. We were treated fairly there overrall great place for a concert or a anything else

This place is garbage. They overcharge for shows, the owner goes out and tries to shut down local venues so that he can monopolize the live music industry. I went to a punk show here and tried to stage dive, (there was no barrier) and they had 2 bouncers grab me and pull me outside where I was guarded as to not come back in. I was refunded no money so was basically robbed. Go to local shows and stop supporting this monstrosity.

Packed show, was told I couldnt leave for fresh air and be allowed back in. Ended up leaving because its over 120 degrees in the room. Horrible experience for sure wont be seeing anyone play here.

Been here a few times. Its basically all pit. No seats. First come first serve. Some events have vip tickets and meet and greet yes even with covid. Tickets are super cheap.

Good venue and good atmosphere!

Soma Security harassed me and called me derogatory names for smoking in the literal smoke lounge…

Little messy the organization but Epik High was god

I bought tickets to see paloma faith and ordered two tickets. They gave me four additional ones by mistake and have charged me over $70 for the tickets I did not even request!To make things worse it is impossible to get a hold of them. when I call I only get an answering machine and the mailbox is usually full. I have sent several emails and have gotten no reply what so ever. Soma pretty much stole money from me and are not even acknowledging it. worst customer service ever.

I took my son to see the Suicide boys, while in line the security girl grabbed my brand new unopened water bottle and threw it in the trash without warning. My car was ,literally steps away. I could have put it I. The car. I drove 100 miles from riverside so my son could see his favorite band.Inside the sweltering place, I had to pay $3 each for two cold bottles of water (cash only)While inside, I noticed MANY kids lighting up and vaping and tons of security

This is a great small venue with good sound system. Parking is free but tight, get there early.

For up and coming alt rock/emo/screamo/hardcore/post hardcore bands as well as established artists, SOMA is the only real venue in San Diego. They book some rap and other artists as well, but their focus seems to be post grunge music like Bullet for My Valentine, Escape the Fate, Falling in Reverse, Asking Alexandria, Black Veil Brides, Bring Me the Horizon, Motionless in White (Chris Motionless is an amazing performer and really nice guy. Let us take endless pics and chatted us up!). So if youre into that scene, SOMA is the place to be and be seen.

They dont serve alcohol. The acoustics are pretty bad, imagine yelling into a cavern. The house system or sound engineer isnt very good, it was all bass and treble and no mids. This is bad because musicians are using processors that connect directly to house systems now. Probably wont return unless they host another epic band.

J boog show was amazing. Great venue!

Good venue. Has been updated, but still has that old school playhouse vibe. They now serve beer, but the lines are long and they may run out early.

Absolutely fantastic, I went to see As I Lay Dying and it was the best concert Ive been to by far thanks to the location. The accoustics of the room were incredible, I would come again.

Very rude and they only take cash when selling merch. who the hell has $100 cash nowadays be fr

Couldnt hear the singer singing throughout the whole show. Very disappointed. They also used to have good bands play here, never even heard of the ones that play here now, nor do i care.👎🏼

Theres 1 set of bathrooms, 1 ADA stall you have to fight for(they advertised ADA restroom..lies...its a stall)and 4 other stalls that you share with no locks on the doors, no toilet paper, no paper towels and a line going outside when theres an event. I had to stand in line for 30 minutes..glad i didnt bring the wheelchair because i couldnt have gotten it in the bathroom anyway. 3k people and this is the accommodations. They should be shamed for that

New bands every week come and enjoy the showReasonably priced and its not usually pretty crowded but you will enjoy yourself

Grungy vibe which is cool, but the absolute worst acoustics and poor visability. Your favorite bands will sound like crap, and you wont be able to even see the show.

This place still looks and feels like a garage. I have been coming here for 10+ years now and its exactly the same but just way more beat up, its time for a remodel please!! The tattered up curtains are such a joke, and the holes in the walls, smh!

Awesome venue. Went to a concert in their side stage and that was a fantastic experience. Honestly had the time of my life there.

Pretty hot in there and no adult beverages. Parking is easy. Flat ground pit so if your short its not good.

Small venue and not many people attended the after the burial concert, so it was perfect. Great spot for concerts

The people at the door were completely unprofessional and disrespectful (almost like a power trip over the younger kids) ruined the whole experience and would have been a 5 star if they would have just shown just a little respect..the venue was great and the people inside were completely professional and made the the experience good, but the ones outside brought it down 3 stars according to my daughter and her best friend...

If I had to make a list of things I do miss about San Diego, SOMA would be near the top of that list. Used to love coming to this place. Seen a lot of good shows here and made a lot of good memories here. But I relocated out of state, so I gotta find a new SOMA. (Also In N Out up the street for after the show)

Small venue, no reentry, no crowd surfing, no moshing. Basically limited fun. Consider going to the brick by brick its just a few miles away.

The absolute worst venue I have been to in San Diego. The sound was unfathomly bad. I think it was the worst sounding venue I have been to anywhere period.

Saw JID last night and the main guard Julian was great help. What a guy! I will be back!

Good place for events but serving only alcohol in the venue and non alcoholic is only being served at the entrance is very annoying. They also have no coat check.

Great concert venue! Nice layout & staff was super friendly.

Only one bathroom for each gender which gets torn apart by the end of the night… over crowded when sold out and super hot inside.

People there were kind and the show was awesome. Not very good at cracking down on weed use in the venue though.

I’m literally here rn and feel like i’m gonna die.

Decent free parking. Sound is good and they get great shows but venue is on the older side and slightly run down

Security there is amazing. They let you have fun. They get in the pit and have fun with the people. Big smiles on the guys. Epic location

Went to see AVB at SOMA. The staff at SOMA were pretty chill. Everyone enjoyed the show and had a great time.

Go here if you want your hearing damaged 😅 wear ear plugs!

Rad venue in a totally random old movie theatre.... Terrible parking so get here early or take rideshare 😎

I dont personally know the venue, just dropped my daughter off in the parking lot to go to a concert.The parking lot of scary at night, lots of homeless people around.

Excellent placeTha service its very good

Kaivon killed and it was cool and spacious.

An amazing smallish venue to see bands in a slightly more intimate setting while having the same audience energy as a large venue.
