Very small and intimate club. Was able to see a band here I’ve wanted to see for over ten years and it was awesome! Great layout, sound was spot on all night. Great, great time!

This place is awesome. If you are near by you need to come by. Best place downtown Orlando 9/5/20 12:26am

Brought our son here for a concert. Awesome place. Everyone was so nice. Had a great time! Made some new friends! Definitely will be back.

Love this bar! This is a great place for concerts and small enough that everywhere has a great view of the stage. Its newly renovated to have a bigger stage and better sound. Two bars makes it easier to grabs drinks during the show.

Ive been to about 10 shows at SoundBar and its always great. The stage is pretty big for how small this venue is, which means you can get a good view no matter where you stand. The sound is always good which isnt always something I can say about The Social or Wills Pub. It can get hot but thats true of every small venue Ive been to in Florida. Definitely one of the best places to see live music in Central Florida.

It was great, love the energy! I saw many talented upcoming performers. I would totally recommend if you like to have a great time and hear something new :)

I went to the sound bar on Valentines Day to see sumo cycho, Wednesday 13 and the 69eyes. I was in a wheelchair because I have a fracture in my back that makes it painful to stand or walk for any length of time. The staff was very, very accommodating, friendly and helpful. The gentleman guided me through the crowd to get me to a spot in front of the stage. I was safe and happy. When the three bands were done. The staff made sure to guide me through the crowd and safely to the front door. I would definitely recommend the sound bar to anyone and it was definitely worth the hour and a half drive.

Went for a show with my family and service dog. A staff member at the front harassed me for having service dog and said they did not allow dogs, even when I explained it was not a pet. He was very rude and condescending and asked for its ID to prove it was a service dog. If he actually knew the law, he would know that service dog IDs are not a legal thing. I also do not have to disclose personal information like medical conditions or disabilities to a stranger. However, if he was respectful I would have no issue with informing him about the law, what my dog was trained for, and why it was necessary for me to have her. I would have even showed him my personal medical ID as proof of condition. But the way this situation was handled was absolutely demeaning and inappropriate. He left little room for reasoning as he became increasingly belligerent until two other staff members had to step in and explain to him how he was breaking the law. Without correction or apology, he relented and let us in. It ruined the entire night, we ended up leaving early because it left such a sour taste. Horrible and embarrassing experience. Read the ADA or talk to the authorities about the law before you enforce something you have no clue about.

We came here for the first time to see a Math rock band (Delta Sleep). The employees were friendly and the stage was large. I am surprised the venue doesnt do a better job of advertising. Their website banners were a few months out of date (so make sure you check the calendar when looking for events) and the only sign outside they had was a sandwich board that someone wrote Delta Sleep on really small. Not even bubble letters.The sound and lighting was A+. The lighting person synced well with the bands and added to the experience. The sound was well balanced.There is plenty of floor space, and its very wide so you arent too far from the stage no matter where you stand.There is a small mezzanine space for people who dont want to be packed into the crowd on the floor.The bathrooms were clean.

It was amazing totally would go again

Cozy Venue with a complimentary bar on the side dish(if youre of age) right around the corner of the dance floor. Saw Plini, Javier Reyes, and Dave MacKay all at once. Super cute girls that are already taken, all around me. Not a chance, Joe.

Great environment, super chill people, and accommodated my friend in a wheelchair without any issues.

Small venue. Place was packed for the Ice Nine Kills concert. Holds about 300-350 people. They had free ice water for everybody. Awesome little place. Convenient pay to park parking lot on the corner right across the railroad tracks. Not even a 5 minute walk away. Definitely needs to expand and add more fans. Highly recommended

Have been to many sold out venues, but none as crowded as this one, hard to believe its not a fire safety issue. It was extremely hot inside also. Drink prices were decent.Would be a very nice small venue if adequate AC was added and they cut the capacity down.

Awesome Live VenueWill definitely return.

Absolutely dreadful place to see a show. They cram far too many people in a space thats too small and EXTREMELY poorly ventilated. I had to miss the headliner for the show because the entire venue became unbearably hot after an hour or so. The staff was great but nothing was going to fix how miserable the overall experience here was. I dont care whos playing here in the future, I wont be back and Ill be sure to tell any bands I like who book there that they should reconsider.

Amazing venue its very small but you get close to the bands. You often get to see them walking back and forth from the stage and get the chance to talk with bands. Always have a great time and they book sick bands.

Good sound during concert. Fast drinks during concert. Good time

Nice venue, decent stage size and sound was pretty decent compared to many similar sized venues

Awesome place. Awesome staff. Great environment its always the first place I stop at.

Neat little venue with great beer prices for a show venue. Will definitely keep this venue in mind.

Incredibly friendly staff, amazing environment. I came here for the first time and it was an amazing experience; you wont regret the fun you have here!

Here recently for a show and door staff allowed drunken friends into the show and they were insanely obnoxious and kept interrupting the show. Security eventually kicked them out. Bar staff was awesome and the drinks were great. Management needs to do something about the staff before Ill go back for another show.

Soundbar was great. I was there for an open mic type of event held by Mercedes Streets. It was ten to get in and i seen live performances that was amazing. Im on tour right now but if i was back in Orlando i would be there.

For the most part the venue is cool, but theres a huge issue with people smoking weed.

I love how small it is. I saw Mushroomhead there and am planning to see Combichrist there soon.

Amazing, courteous, HILARIOUS, respectful staff. I attended the Gamby/Jennifer Vanilla/ YACHT show and I felt very welcome. 10/10 would recommend

Was a cool place, bit small, though that was probably just because there were so many people there for the concert

It was awesome i saw microwave here and it was awesome good bar and they make it good

The stage is set up weird. Hard to get a good view. Drinks were cheap. But the air went out during a sold out show

Great ownership. Good shows fair drinks.

The place is good, well located, great service at the bar, but the sound quality is very poor, you can not even understand the lyrics and very distorted instruments, it would be nice to have an investment in equipment if it is a Concert place.

Love this place, hole in the wall kinda feeling and good local bands.

No AC for a sold out show. Glad we showed up late because there was no way I was going to sit through that whole show in there. It was at least 100 degrees. People were passing out initially because I thought they were drunk but it was probably from the heat. The tips of my fingers were shriveled from wiping my sweat all night. Not worth it in my opinion. Especially since I drove all the way from Tampa.

Cancelled show and no notification what a joke drove four hour to find the doors locked dont waste your time

Fun staff, great venue!

The only reason it’s getting 2 stars, is because the bands were decent. This place was not even busy, but the temperature was about 87+ degrees inside. It was so hot that I nearly passed out and I hadn’t even had a drink yet. The bartenders looked like they had some cool air, but even they had bad attitudes and were rude. I would never go back here again. I paid at $10 cover charge to be drenched in sweat and feel sick from it. The last band to play, the singer had to take off his shirt because he was so hot. He made several comments about it during their set. This has been a great place to see bands over the last 25 years, very intimate place with decent sound, but the temperature inside made it unbearable.

First time seeing The Forum, they were great!

Just saw Randys Cheeseburger Picnic there. Staff is super friendly. The only bad part was the bathroom. Brutal.

Dont expect seating! super intimate venue (as all the reviews say); AC worked quite well when i was there, never even felt hot until everyone started jumping. the bartenders are attentive, kind, and accommodating, and the sound system is fantastic. all around great experience if youre prepared to stand for a while.

Was pretty fun for halloween. great drinks. long lines but great drinks and decor.

Tiny, great place to see an intimate show but youre going to be packed in like sardines. Could have been designed better.

Kind of grew with this venue. Performed here several times, and probably will a few more. I remember when it used to be called Backbooth, and one of my colleagues’ dad bought it out and renovated. (Don’t know how true that part is.) Nonetheless, it’s ALWAYS a good vibe at this venue, no matter the event. Sound system is always on point. Not much can be done about the spacing, but it makes for a more intimate show. Gave four stars because the restrooms could be way more cleaner!

Very small place to see a concert, but cool how accessible the bands are to meet after the show.

Great shows , the bar tenders are will get you quickly and just overall a great place to have a drink and relax with friends

The Doobie concert was great. Good atmosphere

Love their venue, been there thrice

Come see Hottest In The Hood shows

Went to see Ari Lennox here and the place was say too packed. It was so hot, a couple people fainted. They did pass out water but it was only worth it because I Ari! Needs stronger vents, colder A.C..

Very close and intimate venue for music. Really cool location as its downtown and close to a big food scene. A cute little place with a nice bar. This is a fun place for a small concert where any seat is a good and up close seat. The sound is great and its pretty organized. Definitely a cool place to go if a band you like is touring there.

So dope checc out MR.KNOX PREFORMING SOON SHOUTBOUT TO CORY HILL

This place is such a great small level venue for concerts, its so intimate and you can get right up close to the bands. The sound and view are good from anywhere because of the venues size, which is also nice. I always enjoy coming here, the only thing that consistently drives me crazy is that the floor is always super sticky. But thats nothing new for a venue that rocks hard and causes people to spill drinks I guess. Cest la vie! Ill always come back here anyway.

This venue is great because it is so intimate. I was a little anxious because of how packed it was, but the second bar in the back and upstairs area alleviated the need to move around in the crowd too much. Good selection of beer. Great acts. What else could you ask for?!

Saw Grayscale tonight, excellent show, intimate venue, awesome bartenders, and superb security.

I went tonight to see my little brother play... hes the drummer of Deadland! And they and the other bands rocked the place! But my brothers band was the headliner so Im really proud.

Bartenders awesome, literally not a single chair in the place.

The music was great, it was packed but you could still dance and sing a long. Witt Lowry owned that stage

Awesome vibes, drinks, cool atmosphere.

Great venue, good drinks, good acoustics. Saw American pleasure club and Last Dinosaurs here

Small but nice place to see live bands

Small venue, so great show capability, but the place is super small and hot

Great little small-forum spot fo being up-close and personal with your favorite band..

Used to be Back Booth, one of the best punk venues in Orlando! Great service and staff, makes the shows that much better! Do yourself a favour, support your local scene and go to some shows!

Too hot during summer ..needs better ventilation

Good place for local artists to showcase talents on open mic night

Went to this place to watch some friends of mine play a show. The bar doors are covered in signs that say no crowd killing yet they allow tons of morons to do it. I ended up getting elbowed in the face when I wasnt even looking. The security took the guy out and I continued to watch the show. Then after a few more songs they came back in and made me leave. Mind you I never hit the guy back the only thing I did is the same thing literally everyone does and push him off me. They were very rude and even after I left I was informed they allowed the other guy back into the club when he was the person hitting people. I will not come back to this venue and I would not recommend this place to anyone. Its tiny the sound quality is terrible.

Soundbar is an awesome venue with a wide variety of beer and liquor options. The beer menu is the most extensive I have ever seen at any place I have seen a concert.The venue is decorated by murals of local artist spread out throughout the venue which give it a great local vibe.The venue has great acoustics which make it an awesome intimate venue for live music.I highly recommend this local gem.

Took my daughter there for a concert. Staff was exceptional; everyone from the doorman to the owner. Great intimate venue.

Very small(but not too small where it feels cramped) and personal venue but something about the sound is off? you can clearly hear every instrument but the singer always sounds muffled.

A fun place to go and the beers were nice and cold!

I have been before but this time was great. Saw Ari Lennix, Baby Rose and others. The venue was lit( as in hott as ) but very crowded. Sound was great, drinks were good as well, security was pretty polite and fast. This venue should think of expanding as this a great forum for artist and djs alike.

This is dope aff

It was fun! Since I didnt want to be in the mosh pit it was difficult to see the band, but I love the venue and the bartenders.

Great sound. Cold drinks.

Winter on a Monday night to check out a few artists from down south heard the most amazing freestyle rapper that goes by the name of Melo I think the song was called melo mode freakin awesome love this place

Great place to have a show. Or even see a show.

The place is just to small for the amount of people they bring in and for the size of the venues they do but besides that everything else is ok. I would go here if you want to hear a live band and have a concert kind of feel but if you want to listen to a DJ and have a more club kind of feel then I would suggest finding a different place.

Small but cozy, great for live music, good sound system, and bar not overpriced.

The bartenders are really cool and make great drinks. Tip them and they will take care of you!

Good sound system. Nice stage area. Plenty of space. The nook upstairs is a nice vantage point for photography

I would definitely come back, they had Barbancourt Rhum!

Great venue for live music. Staff were very friendly. Its especially nice that there was no smoking inside.

Met some awesome people, fast bar service, clean restroom.

This was a pleasant surprise!

I got to see some of my favorite performers Paul I am Barker omniflex and best of all ogHr

Soundbar is a very intimate venue due to the size. You get to vibe with the bands and they feed off of the crowds energy in small venues like this. It wasnt exceptionally dirty. The bars service was good. My gf and I went to see Dave Mackay, Mestis, and Plini. We wont hesitate to return when more cool bands come through

Fun venue. Saw Harley Poe there. Fair beer prices. Nice environment.

Hung out at this bar last night for Halloween with my boyfriend. Drinks were extremely affordable and good, bar was clean, music was cool, atmosphere was fun (awesome lights and smoke machine with dancers) and the bartenders were super nice. Unfortunately, it doesnt seem to be well known enough to draw a real crowd at the moment. Hoping more people begin hanging out at this place - we danced till 3am!

Went for a concert, crowded, seemed to have no AC, which I dont know about you but is a huge problem to have in hot Florida.

Great venue, a little small but the music experience makes up for it

Saw Sick of it All, nice little venue!

Great hidden gem in downtown Orlando. Perfect spot for a live show with an excellent selection of beverages served from a friendly bartender.

Very soundly and I drink a lots of fluids.

Fun stuff

Nice bands

They need to figure out a way to handle crowds a little more effectively; the entire show was cramped, hot, and hard to get a view of in the area. I actually prefered to hang out at the bar just because the heat and humidity of the group was overwhelming during a live preformance.

It was real nice.

Jinjer was woke and shook me....

Tiny venue, great place to see bands. Very hot, literally :)

Had a great time celebrating our one year anniversary.DJs Sideshow and Octopussy plays amaz ing music. we danced for hours
