Soul Bar

This place is great, best part is the fine a$$ bartender Kellie. Shes on top of everything, quick with the drinks, quick with the food, everything is clean as whistle. She even threw out some punks that were disturbing the peace as it was. It was some of the best entertainment Ive had in quite a while 🤣.

This is one of my favorite places ever to tour. The town, this venue, the people. Everyone and everything about it is just awesome. The room is legendary and the vibe is awesome. You gotta check our Soul Bar if you get out to Augusta!

Its a wonderful place to have fun dance and drinks

Very much a hole-in-the-wall spot that felt incredibly welcoming. Its the perfect place to encounter an eclectic mix of quirky individuals. Their drink selection hits the mark, and the live music/DJ sets add a vibrant energy. Definitely a go-to for anyone looking for a unique, lively atmosphere.

The bar sales drinks only. No food. Overall, the atmosphere is a vibe. On Saturday, they had a d.j. playing. Music was good!

Great place to go and immerse yourself in all things James Brown. Stage for live acts or a D.J. depending on the night. Not a lot of seating, but its adequate. Go and have a good time.

Great vibes. Bartender was amazing..she wanted to make sure I had a great time. I just moved to Augusta and been feeling kinda low. Thanks for the High frequency!

My first time here in Augusta and first time at the soul bar for first Friday of the month. I had an outstanding time

Nice atmosphere, great assortment of liquid courage. They have a few benches that could possibly be converted into more comfortable seating. Otherwise a great spot, oh and they do have a pool table.

Everyone seemed very nice. And I would say its a very safe environment

This was actually my first time attending this bar and atmosphere alone I wasn’t at all impressed. However my friend selected this place therefore I was definitely going to do my best to enjoy it. Due to some extremely disrespectful events I found it immediately necessary to depart very early. In doing so my friend hadn’t made it therefore I asked the bar ladies if I could leave her birthday gift and balloons as she would be arriving soon. They stated of course but she never received it even after inquiring about it. I don’t have a contact for the owner nor staff and the business number going straight to vm. Therefore I’m going to sit this right here in hopes that mgt cares enough to get to the bottom of this and right this major wrong!!

We always come here for bday shots!☺️

Wasnt for me. Nice little hole in the wall bar. All were friendly. Security and staff. Drove downtown to meet a friend. Couldnt even get parked and out of my truck with being approached by someone needing money. Theyre everywhere begging. Our sheriffs department need to clean this city up and business would thrive even more downtown Augusta

Go here for a great time. Funky little spot with a whole lot of history. Bartenders are super friendly and they book so many amazing bands and DJs. Its a com- as-you-are kinda place with an eclectic crowd of the best people. One of my favorite spots.

Can be busy our dead but its a must on special holidays add events.

This place is great. Park behind on Ella Street between the big blue building that used to be Club Hollywood. This is a good place to park if youre going to soul bar and skips the doors from the back side. If you are going to Stillwater this is the place to go regarding parking. You can walk in through soul bar on the back side and all the way through while getting a drink at the bar before going to Stillwater or nacho Mamas. Never sleep on the shows they have come into town here. I got to see Malachi which includes Courtney Gaines and the bands are always willing to hang out and talk. Also never sleep on the open mic nights or DJ chaperone events. Ladies dancing, pool, great drinks! Plenty of seating! Definitely took the bartender and the band!

The Soul Bar is locally owned and operated. The bartender was attentive to our needs and knowledgeable about the drinks we ordered.

The bartender was awesome and quick to help. The atmosphere is friendly and casual. Even the other patrons are friendly and welcoming. Although it is a non smoking bar, there is a cute patio outback for us die hard smokers. I would easily recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing drink.

Cool place. Lots of different kinds of people. Very diverse crowd. Everyone seemed to be getting along... go figure.

I love this place its your neighbor bar with the awesome bartenders you cant help but 💕 love. Boomer the bar tender is my favorite he is always kind to all and lets us borrow some of his lotion. 😂 Overall good music affordable drinks good people.

The OG Downtown Augusta bar!! Before ANY other bar/restaurants were dt at all. Surprisingly good (if youre not in the know) musician play here unannounced on a regular basis. Maybe the coolest dive bar in GA -- good vibes, stiff drinks, and killer music

Love this place every time we come in from Atlanta we hit this spot and even though it has changed several names we have had the BEST time there. Music and drinks prices are on point. Thank you Augusta

One of the showcases of The Downtown Augusta Experience. The bartender (Alex) was amazing, the drinks were ice cold, and the bar stayed moving for the hour I stayed.The music was good, loud enough to hear from outside but low enough to not drown out the customers from talking to each other. The decor personifies the city perfectly: its not the newest, nor the shiniest, but it has character in itself, and it accentuates the Downtown Augusta Experience, rather than cheapen it with novelty and nostalgia.Highly recommend.

Great little bar with a pool table. The beer is cheap and SOMETIMES the music is good. The live music performance I saw here was great! I would definitely recommend this place to someone in the Augusta area that was looking for a quiet (on a night without live music) place to drink and socialize.

Typical downtown bar! Drinks are not priced too bad. Bathrooms are terrible, like just two toilets separated by a shower curtain...but after a few drinks who cares?! Overall a fun and safe atmosphere with lots of dancing (if you dont mind a crowd!)

The bartender is friendly and welcoming. The regulars are very inclusive fun to be around. I have yet to experience the music on Tuesday and Thursday nights.

In town for a night and thought a James Brown themed bar would be fun. On a Thursday night, there was a live band and an easy amount of people. Good drinks too. Even with it being a little slender, definitely a good stopping place!

This place doesnt seem to know what it wants to be. Its very dark, but has a dance floor, and there is a pool table in the back. When we visited, the bar tender seemed more interested in watching TV. The womens bathroom stalls only have curtains and someone walked in on me.

Groovy cool little bar. Our bartender, Boone told us he is also a bouncer there late night. Super nice guy, great service... Good cold beer. Stopped for a beer on way to a concert and it was a great place to do it.

Always love the dive bar feel of this downtown gem. Boone always takes such great care of our tribe! If youre looking for a cool local spot with live music and a genuine vibe look no further!

Very cool calm and chilled place. Mix races is what I like the most! Every time I go there, there is never any riff Raff. ❣️

Always a good time here. Nice mixed crowd with the music to match. Fair prices good selection. My friend loves their jello shots

Was pleasantly surprised with the drink prices. I liked the music but the atmosphere wasnt the same to me like underground Joes. Ill be going here for the alcohol then going elsewhere right after,next time. Its too bad aggressive panhandlers high on drugs and angry, are always walking up and down this street right where this bar happens to be.

Great venue for music, and they have billiards, arcade games and old-style pinball too! As a musical artist Ive performed here as well, and their sound technician is top notch, its always a satisfying experience. A+

It gets packed on the weekends but its great for dancing. Drinks arent too expensive. I feel like some nights they have a cover because they cant fit everyone in that wants in but w/e

Waited at the bar for 30 minutes without being served. The bar tenders went straight to the Customers of European decent. I made an attempt to the the female bar tenders attention, she responded with anger and threatened to kick me out of the bar. After explaining the situation to the door man we were lucky able to get a refund for the terrible experience.

Its was turned up in there I will go back

Hit or miss, but always plays good music. Seems like they cycle the music based on how the crowd reacts. Good reasonably priced drinks and very sweet staff. The back area is great for being low key.

Treated me like a wild animal! Asked to use the restroom even though I was a paying customer! The tattoos, pierced, black female told me I couldn’t and hat I could try and go around the back in the bushes because they had turned the lights on. They turned it one about 20-25 minutes before their 0200 closing time. Never will come here AGAIN!!! STRAIGHT RACHET!!!

One of the best bars in Augusta. It is not too busy earlier in the night but around 11:30 - 12 it really picks up. Probably the best bar in the area to dance at.

Had a great time with friends, ok I got seriously poop 💩 faced drunk. Yes it was very crowded and I clearly got my drinks soooooooo no real problem there.. The DJ was spot on with a wide variety of music from various genres and decades. They have a couple of pinball machines (yes we played them) thanks for that. They could make larger bathrooms would help for both men and women. Prepare to take an Uber home.

Went in for a birthday celebration with a large group. The place was so loud we couldnt hear anyone. Also the food was a big letdown for most. Their salmon was completely overcooked, the steaks that were ordered medium rare were beyond well done. People got the wrong plates and the worst was the shrimp tempura-they left the shells on and battered right over them. Very dissapointing over all. Bees Knees is much better!

It is a great place to have fun, drinks, and dance with friends.

In my current mood i would give this zero stars if i could. Horrible experience. My gf and i walked in and wanted something from the bar. The blonde girl behind the bar looked at us to indicate she was ready for us to order. In the split second it took me to confirm my gfs drink she just walked away to other customers. We waited standing there for 20 minutes before finally getting the attention of the bearded gentleman behind the bar. We asked him for our drink and he started making it. Then the blonde girl came back to us and i told her dont worry... He took care of us. I assume she took it the wrong way because she smacked the bar counter several times, told him to throw our drink away, cut us off, and had security escort us out of the building... All for asking for a drink. She didnt even say a word to us. Just threw an attitude over nothing. Ill never come back. After explaining my story they refused to return our cover charge. They just took our money, refused to serve us, and kicked us out without an explanation. Ive never been treated so ill mannered in all my life. As a fellow manager in Augustas restaurant industry... Ill certainly tell people to stay away from Soul Bar on Broad St.

Service is HORRIBLE! It was a group of me and my friends (about 10 of us) that came to this bar. We were at the far end where we found an open space. We wanted tequila shots but they were out, we then asked if they had fireball shots and they were out. As we decided on what else we wanted to drink the male bartender who was waiting on us left and started waiting on someone else. There were several bartenders behind the bar but they were working the other end of the bar closest to the front door, leaving us standing there for over 20 mins. I attempted to get someones attention by turning on a light on my phone, it worked but the female bartender with black/dark brown hair came over not to take our order but came to give attitude! She didnt apologize for our wait, she aggressively said dont shine that light... What? I explained why but she was still nasty so I gave back what she delivered and told her I would if I wanted to, its my phone. Her reply was I will have you kicked out. If this is the kind of staff that they have then this is NOT an honorable place to spend your time or money. Besides they should probably be kind and considerate to everyone who walks through their doors or at least be able to recognize famous faces because my entire crew works in media/entertainment industry locally in Auguata. It probably wasnt the smartest thing for them to kick us out! Lol ... I can laugh about it now. But I truly do not recommend anyone go to this establishment.

The bartender with the blonde blunt cut hair threw mine and my friends receipts at us because we didn’t tip on the reciept for $4.00 and then $8.00...but she didn’t know or realize we had cash in our hands to put in the tip jar. I never tip on my receipts I always use cash. When addressed she simply said she was offended because we didn’t tip and she doesn’t need the receipt if we don’t tip. When we told her we had cash and were going to do so, and that there was no need for that unprofessional display, it was truly rude. She proceeded to shrugg and said she appreciates it. The worst experience I’ve encountered with a bartender and unfortunately I will not be attending this establishment anymore because no tip didn’t seem to be a problem with other patrons who were served around us. Everyone else has always been respectful and even accommodating when they didn’t have to be.

Grungy, dark music venue/bar in downtown Augusta. Happy hour wells are $4! Best in town.

Low key upbeat atmosphere great looking bartenders and mixed drinks that are not watered down. Highly recommend for a chill fun dive bar ish experience

I truly enjoy the laid-back atmosphere. The customer service was absolutely awesome they treat you like family. And their pasta is the best in the CSRA. You got to go check them out.

Used to be the best bar to dance at. Soul bar is now desperately in need of renovation and security. When you start attracting Augusta’s trashiest people, it’s time for some change.

Good prices and selection. Love the staff and they have live music multiple times a week.

Staff was rude and seemed like they would have rather been anywhere but working. Bar tender was more interested in watching the TV than taking drink order and then charged us for drinks that we didnt order.

For not a lot of money, with a variety of entertainment and smoking hot female bar tenders. Club stays bouncing

Quite small dance floor, though it seems actual dancing isnt that popular in Augusta. Very friendly staff all around though, fair prices for drinks as well. Great place to just read a book.

We had a few drinks nd the atmosphere was very welcoming 🙏 it was definitely a place were gonna try to go back nd visit again.

Very nice bar rotating DJs that play a variety of styles anything you can imagine I may atmosphere is very inviting a lit bar made out of metal and a local bar feel

It’s a Thursday my first visit……GUARANTEED it won’t be my last. Beer is cold, music is hot and attendants amicable and very pleasant

The best dancing bar in Augusta..tho only on Friday and Saturday nights, starts late about 10 ish but when theres a crowd its really good!

Soul bar has its moments of magic. The staff is genuine. Coco is awesome. The bar is smoky and dark. Seats are old. Soul bar is a place you can hang out in your pajamas.

My favorite bar, the music is always on point and the staff is excellent. Really good vibes

This is a fun dive bar with a cool atmosphere. The music with nice service makes this a chill bar to visit. Also, the history behind the bar makes it a tourist hotspot.

I was there last weekend. We really enjoyed it nice atmosphere. The drinks were on point!! My new hang out spot!!!

Oh man... Awesome place. Good environment. Variety of music. Not just rap like other clubs downtown. Love this place.

Only experience at soul bar I recall was first date with last ex girlfriend...she ignored me while getting drunk and talking to other guys, blatantly ignoring me right to my face. I wound up walking back to my friends apt in the rain n was a pretty sad walk of shame, totally uncalled for on her part. One star cuz I had to give at least that to post. Really not into bar scene anyway, not usually.

Great barmaids! Super attentive and friendly. First time in a bar in awhile so it was very nice experience.

Drinks were great and music was excellent! Will definitely be back

Great atmosphere, great bands, has lots of historic Augusta inside. Jason the owner is a super chill guy

This place was something different.. But it was a great place to be because there were several different cultures there and everyone was really nice to eachother. No arguing or fighting just everyone enjoying themselves..awesome

Bartenders were great, nice music with a touch of 80s and 90s music. Overall great atmosphere.

My favorite bar! Service by the hottest girls !

Always fun. Good music. Different, friendly peopleThe staff is awesome

Love the ambiance. Perfect place to just go chill out alone or with your spouse/ significant other later in the afternoon!

The DJ was awesome. The crowd was too young for us.

A fun little place with drinks decently priced drinks and a overall fun atmosphere with a diverse group of people.

An Augusta tradiiton! Small space but big fun!! Sometimes it takes a while to get a drink, the music usually makes up for that though!

Dance floor , drink, modern hip-hop mostly ...not my scene on a Friday night but overall good place

Game night on Mondays!! Bartenders here - awesome!

This place is the 2nd worse decision youll make the night you go here. The first being to drunk to realize you shouldnt have gone to soul bar.

Please go anywhere else but here. Loud, crowded, nasty floors, weak drinks, just ok music.

Great atmosphere and a variety of music. Awesome bartenders and good priced drinks.

Make sure you dont try to request a song from the psycho dj. He may just cuss you out and put his hands on you, then throw you out of the bar.

My favorite place to go 😃

Good to see that they are one of the only places in Augusta to put on local heavy metal bands.

The drinks are on point but the place is way too small to enjoy and dance. I wont go back.

Nice local bar.

Went there on a Saturday. Next time Ill be back with my coworkers. Food is like a restaurant in Jacksonville I loved.

A very versatile spot in terms of the music and the crowd. It can get packed at times, but its overall very lively.

Fantastic vibes, good folk,great venue.Easy spot to spend a time or two

Great night, good music, very good drinks

A great place to have a drink and dance alittle good time to go is around 10 to 11

Amazing dive bar. I hadnt been back in 20 years. Still the best bar in Augusta!!

Absolutely love this place but they dont sale food. The drinks are great.

Once it was the happening site for entertainment in Augusta. Maybe its just that it was a weeknight is the reason that the audience was thin.

Cool place. Prefer to go during the week or early Friday or Saturday when its more laid back.

Great drinks & good music! 🎶🍹

The drinks were good and the dancing was great!

Great vibe, wonderful atmosphere. One of my favorite places downtown!

Fun place to go and dance. Drinks are strong and well priced.

Its cool spot. Dropped in for a drink and danced a bit...

One of the best bars in the city 🏙️

The Dj and the music was great. The atmosphere was awesome

Very chill bar. Good music. Good drinks

I know people that love this place. To me its just small, crowded and nothing really to keep me there.

Good place. Starts getting busy from 10pm over the weekends.

Laid back atmosphere. Has a backyard hangout spot jive to it.

If you like to dance or just hang back and people watch this is a good spot.

Best bartenders on broad! Ask for Sara!

Very nice place to hang great music great vibes and atmosphere

Great music, nice people, good drink prices

Excellent service and drinks.

Music was enjoyable, friendly place and people! Id go back!

Great small bar for up close and personal shows

Nice weekday spot, if you dont like crowds avoid on the weekends.

Not my type of music for a particular saturday night. And whats up GA with still allowing smoking inaide? Get with the Millennium

Good mixed crowd, late night college hang out. A lot of fun :)

Girls aightFood aightMusic aightDrinks aightNeed to allow dogs so when I get drunk I have dogs to pet.

Great bar in Augusta GA

We didnt stay for too long but we managed to play a few arcade games in the back which is always a plus for me

I love it here, especially on comedy night! Soul bar is extremely soulful!!!

You want go out n have fun go here

I love this place. Live bands and affordable beverages.

Great atmosphere , great bartenders, good music

Too much cigarette smoke, not enough dance floor, and too loud for conversation. That said, not a bad DJ.

Double shot of crown and coke

Best time ever...pretty sure I fell a few times. Lol

Best bar in Augusta.

Great bartenders, okay craft beer selection

Useless rude bartender kept yelling at customers and wouldnt take their orders including ours even when we all had been requested it politely.

My bar right here! Djs be hit or miss tho...

Bartender was super rude to me when i was waiting for a drink and a girl was waiting longer than me and i tried to get them to help her before me

One of the gentlemen that serves drinks, play music from my age group! Big shout out!

So sad its being sold. Always good drinks at good prices.

Its layout sucks but it has a decent feel.

$3 Miller Lite. What more can one ask for?

Good place for live music and drinks.

Awesome!!! If you not having fun in here on a fri or sat night youre lame lol

Great staff , great music, cool atmosphere

This place is legendary and a true landmark for downtown Augusta

Good place to have a drink with friends
