"S.O.B.’s, also known as Sounds of Brazil, is a legendary live music venue in the lower Manhattan neighborhood of SoHo.It was opened by owner and director Larry Gold in June 1982. Gold opened the venue with the purpose of exposing the musical wealth and heritage of the Afro-Latino Diaspora to as many people as possible. True to its mission, it has become renowned as the premiere venue not only for World Music, but all genres, in New York City and the world over.Latin legends like Tito Puente, Marc Anthony, Celia Cruz and Eddie Palmieri were some of the first to hit the stage, but contemporary superstars like Drake, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Jill Scott, Justin Timberlake and more have all graced the SOBs stage.

Reviews
SOBs is amazing. I’ve seen a number of legendary general admission performances in this venue over the years. The small space provides an intimate and up close experience for all attendees. Drinks are less than a lot of other venues I’ve visited in the area. Hope to see more great hip hop performances here is the future. Hope
This place is amazing and really really fun.. it had the best vibe and you can have lots of fun.. great selection of music. 2 stars are because 1. The floors are constantly wet from people spilling their drinks..I slipped and injured myself. Then the unexpected happened where we were asked to leave the club which made no sense.. we were a group of girls … 2. The male to female ratio is a bit bizarre.. it’s like a 40% female vs 60%men ratio..
Just saw rising star Danielle Ponder there and it was a grand experience. We arrived early and secured a table with a great view. The place was clean, spacious, elegant with a great sound system. Our server worked hard and efficiently handled our food and drink needs. I’m not sure if it’s a temporary thing but the menu choices were stripped down to main course appetizers. They were all well prepared with nice portions but I hope in the future they include some real entrees. Otherwise we will be back again. Stellar Evening for us!
Went there mostly on Saturday nights since there is Bollywood party, the space is a bit small and you will find a lot of Indians if thats what you looking for, and also 100% Hindi, Bollywood music. The place gets pretty crowded, the dj’s are really good, you will definitely have fun there. The music is a bit loud loud. And drinks are expensive but i guess thats the case with all clubs so!! In short you will enjoy if u like Bollywood music. ; Location: it is located near Christopher street, path is 9mins walk and metro is also close. So there is easy transportation access.
Cool place desi Saturday was good had a nice DJ not sure why the have a nonsense rule about no reentry till 1am after you get in even with a $40 cover
They “invite” their musicians to come play and force them to sell a minimum amount of tickets. Then they take the majority of those ticket sales. So basically they are getting not only free labor, but lucrative labor. I’d suggest anywhere else. Arlene’s Grocery, The Bowery Electric, 3 Dollar Bill these are all cool clubs that don’t have shady reviews.
Like others, I came here for a Desi Saturday Night recently. The event itself is pretty fun; good music with a pretty ok DJ. He's only ok because he will take a portion of time to rally all the women in the club to the front for their social media. I get it but it totally killed the vibe. It can definitely get packed pretty quickly depending on the event but the night I attended, I felt like there was enough space to shuffle around. This of course depends on the night. However, as with many clubs out there, they are a lot more negatives than they are positives that are hard to look past. To start off, definitely read the rules before you come. While enforcement of the dress code was pretty spotty, to be honest, it will be up to the bouncer's discretion. If you are the unlucky one to get called out by the bouncer, be prepared to pay a hefty toll at the door which happened to be paying the price of admission again the night I was there. So in other words, if you were a dude that paid $40 to get attend the event and didn't follow the rules, you will pay another $40 to get in. Also, once you're in the venue you can't leave or else you will not be allowed to come back in. No reentry until 1am. Coat check is mandatory and is CASH ONLY with NO ATM, NO VENMO, ETC handy downstairs near the coat check room make sure you're ready before you stand in line because the line will most certainly be VERY long. The two coat check employees were heroes of the night because expect to deal with incompetent drunken patrons causing delays. Outside of those two employees, the service was pretty disappointing overall. Drinks are overpriced about $17-$20 per drink prepped by disinterested bartenders not caring about how they are making the drink. It'll be a toss-up between ok and complete trash. ALL checks have a mandatory 18% gratuity included so heads up before you end up being broke.
For the Europe people, don’t come here. The stuff is really rude. The don’t listen pushed a girl out. Stupid rule they have, nobody can read that, it’s small and dark. Go to another place, there are a lot oft other very good nightclubs!
This is for the Bollywood Night here by Desi Saturdays. It is my go to place to have a great time. No one does it like these guys. Me and my friends buy tickets in advance and never have issues getting in. I do see that they run a tight ship as far as ratio. Good thing we always have a mixed group. Once inside, it is a full house usually and the music is out of the world. Dj Dharak and Dj Rush are my favorites. They never disappoint. The dhol players there are also top not and bring sooooo much energy. If you LOVE Bollywood music, you will never be disappointed with this place. Simply Amazing.
Mediocre service that is borderline unsanitary. Literally just watched a bartender redo her long haired ponytail at the bar whilst in the middle of making drinks and she didn’t wash her hands. Servers grabbing and serving drinks by the rim of the glass… just no… I also watched 4 bartenders scurry behind the bar to make drinks for the floor tables without acknowledging anyone standing at the bar. So I finally just said can I have a water .. and the bartender delegated it to someone else who poured it with no ice.. and didn’t ask if I want ice or not… smh.. subpar.. glad I’m not eating here
