balance of upscale and inclusion

by carlosAperez

After reading some of these other reviews, I felt like I had to speak up for what I consider to be the best bar in down town San Antonio. It has the upscale feel of some of the more expensive bars on the northside or in the higher end hotels, without the price tag. Although Soho is not that old, it has a naturally classy, aged feeling to it. I'm sure some of this has to do with the building, the experienced ownership, and the fact that they don't appear to be "trying too hard" to make an identity. This is especially refreshing as my beloved river walk is becoming more and more sterilized by the many chain restaurants and bars.

When I go into Soho, I can expect intelligent service, craftsmanship in the drinks, and a unique experience every time.

• Pros: upscale, non-touristy, friendly, variety
• Cons: parking

Highly Recommended!!!!!

Ok PeggyStanton...not sure what bar you went to? This is the best bar I have been to in my 28 years! I'm not an alcoholic but I've been known to throw a few cold ones back. It is the perfect place to take a date, hang out with friends, hell you can even take your mother there to get a nice glass of wine after church at St. Mary's. Hey us Catholics start drinking at Mass! You can go dressed up...dressed down. Awesome service...Great music...they DO have a good selection of music. Maybe the voices in your head are louder than your surroundings peggy! even though you seem to be anti-NFL!!! (GO COWBOYS..THAT'S FOR YOU JERRY!) It's my cheers! The staff makes the best drinks downtown at good prices! Go in have a seat...drink a martini or an ice cold beer..most likely you will find me there! ah you like that! If you don't drink...hell at least go in to learn some history....or stare at the good looking bar staff! It's a win-win situation! Come back Peggy...I'll show you a good time!

Easy on the palatte and the eyes

This cozy =nook of downtown is nestled between the Watermark Hotel and Club Rive on Crockett street. The bar has a classy, laid-back, lounge feel to it and the staff are just as laid-back, but still provide the best in service. Lutfy, Ron, Jerry, Eddie and everyone there make it a point to make everyone feel welcomed, at home, and amongst family. Their personal touch of service and comraderie is what gives Soho that edge above all the bars. They have a great drink selection and a great selection of wines and cigars. I recommend the house wines.

I do wish they sold more wines by the glass instead of the bottle and that they had a better selection of Mexican imported beer.
