The venue was so overcrowded that this was my view. A wall that blocked the view of the stage.

This review is for using the venue for a comedy show. It was our first time here and immediately upon walking in, we were disappointed. No seating at all! WTF? I've been to a lot of comedy shows and have never once stood through one until the one at Soundbar.The show was advertised at 8p. We arrived about 7:30 and were told the the doors opened at 8. The show finally started at 9p which is ridiculous as everyone was pretty much inside by 8:15p. Keep in mind, everyone is standing and waiting, so the hour delay made it worse! I don't know the reason, but most of the comedians were wandering around during that time, so they were there. Maybe the main guy was late, who knows.When the show started, it was better! Lot's of comedians and all were funny. Some of them commented and seemed empathetic to the fact we were all standing. By the end, we were sore and couldn't wait to get to the car to sit down!I'm sure the venue is perfectly find for a rave, acoustic, punk rock, death metal, country band (don't you wish one band hit all the marks?), but using this venue for comedy is a mistake. Especially when the show doesn't start on time and you're standing there for 3 hours!

2019 Review 21/100A great space for small concerts! The venue is small and intimate, with a bar near the entrance opening up into a modest concert hall area. They've made some great changes since Backbooth to open up the space a little bit more. The acoustics are great. The whole feel is just very friendly, like you're listening to music in your friend's garage. I recently saw William Ryan Key here (formerly of Yellowcard) and, although I've seen more Yellowcard concerts than I can remember to count, this was one of the best experiences I've had seeing him/them just because of how intimate the space was. Great vibes all around. The staff is friendly too. I'd come back to Soundbar for concerts again and again.

We went to Soundbar tonight to see NAILWOUND and they killed it. Ya that was to be expected because Josh is badass. However the gentleman that affixed the wrist bands was top notch. Not one of my arm hairs was caught by in the wrist band stickieness. Thank you for understanding that some chicks gots hairy arms. Thank you delicate mother fucker. We appreciate you.

Don't see a show here unless you literally want to put your life at risk. Where to even start. They oversell shows, literally stuffing people inside, making emergency exits and bathrooms impossible to reach. Also, they don't turn on the AC!! It's a sauna and one person right next to me actually passed out. Security was nowhere to be found. No one here wanted to do their job and it's actually the worst venue I've ever been to in my life. Miracle I made it out alive

my favorite small venue in all of orlando. i always have so much fun at shows here and the staff/security rocks. the perfect venue to see some punk shows at. the photobooth, two bars, and upper viewing level also add to how great it is here!

Went here for the men I trust show and would never come back. Like, not even if science resurrected all the Beatles for a reunion show and they were performing for one night only at soundbar. The biggest issue was that they oversold the venue. Like, *dangerously* oversold. The crowd literally extended from back door to front door. And on top of that, the AC wasn't on and it was an absolute sauna. So a fire hazard and a heat stroke risk. Great!! In a pandemic nonetheless! I watched one young woman get carried out of the crowd unconscious. Who carried her out? Some random guy, and not the two ogres in security shirts outside, who attempted no crowd control and just stood outside and texted while everyone inside almost died. I've never been to a more irresponsibly unsafe venue in my life. Don't come here. It's a music venue run by complete idiots with no respect for their customers safety.

I went here last September for a underground concert and holy shit was the energy dead at first but after more and more showed up and more had their set lists did it get fun and the energy picked up. Was my first underground show and now I love going to shows and anywhere that's gonna be a blast. Staff was chill and they were just amused at how into it we were.

I'm so shocked the city of Orlando allows this overpacked , fire hazard to continue overselling shows. No air conditioning, minimal fire exits and shows sold well beyond capacity. WHY?
