More grunge then soul, The Soul Bar is a great spot to hang out and mix with the locals. I have noticed that every restaurant, and every bar in Augusta suffers from some sort of identity crisis. In every restaurant the menus seem to try to encompass every cuisine, and here at Soul there seemed to be the same desire to appeal to everybody. The name suggests Soul, the decor punk, the music was a DJ spinning 80's pop and dance. The crowd here was also very diverse, with about every demographic represented, Service at the bar was okay, but not good. A real bar in Augusta, and probably the funnest spot. Lots of fun posters and memorabilia on the walls. The ladies bathroom is very cool. (Don't ask how i know!)
Review Source:Soul Bar is an edgy, quirky place that I was pleasantly surprised to find in a place like Augusta, GA.
I came here once, shortly, on a saturday night around 1030 and found great DJ's and  friendly bartenders. The music was awsome.
My only complaint- the place wasn't exactly packed, which in my opinion it should have been for such a sweet little spot. I guess it has yet to be discovered by most people.
Probably one of the best bars in Augusta, but that isn't saying a whole lot. Augusta's bar scence is lacking in general, but this place can actually make you feel like you are at a decent place. I am not a fan of charging cover unless it is for an event where there are a gazillion people in town. I went on a dead Friday, when there was about 50 people in the bar, and it cost $5 to get in as a dude. That said, it was still worth it as all the other bars in Augusta blow pretty hard.
Review Source:80's night on the second Friday of every month may just be the greatest thing to do in all of downtown Augusta. SO much fun. It gets packed though, so you might want to do some pre-gaming at a less crowded bar.
Other than that, it's hit or miss. I'm not a fan of hip-hop so I generally don't hang out there. They do have some great bands there though so if you're in the area looking for a drink, it's worth sticking your head in the door.
This place is super cool. Â Such an awesome crowd-- really diverse, but everyone seems to blend right in. Â Very unique. Â Good music that really sets the tone for the bar (DJ). Â Lots of people dancing around-- they were fun to watch. Â I just watched them for about half an hour for entertainment. Â
I felt good the whole time I was here. Â It's a happy place.
We wandered in after a long afternoon of rubbernecking the town.  It was early evening, hot and we were glad the joint was finally open.  Having earlier admired the pics in the window of James Brown from his "Famous Flames" days and Miles Davis blowing, the sandwich board now advertising $3 Fat Tires was the kicker.  Promises of excellent, inexpensive beer and of tales of 60's  r&b  and cool jazz  hurried us in the door and into the narrow, dark tunnel mysteriously called "Soul Bar." Mysterious because  once inside, we discovered the joint had as much soul as Dover Sole. And with Augusta being the birthplace of the Godfather of Soul, we expected better.  It does get two stars though, for the atmosphere, the cool  bartender and its vibrant alternative music scene.  It gets a minus three stars because that music scene has little or nothing to do with soul or  Black folks in general. The joint's ethnic "come on" reminded me of the old days when it was commonplace to exploit someone else's culture for a fast buck.
Review Source:I go in here sometimes. Just sometimes though.
As far as bars go, this has got to be one of the most populated of all the Broad Street bars on First Friday. Otherwise, not too busy.
If you dare to head in on a First Friday, be warned of two things. First, there will be lots of people. I repeat; THERE WILL BE LOTS OF PEOPLE. So many, in fact, that the claustrophobic might actually want to avoid this place all together. Second, if you are a guy shorter than 5' 10", you might want to make friends with someone to buy your drinks for you. The bartenders here have a tendency to overlook the short among us more in this place than any other bar on Broad.
This is not a talking inside bar. If you meet someone inside that you want to have a conversation with, head towards the door.
This IS an I'm-so-drunk-I-have-to-be-carried-out place though, so be forewarned: drunk people are EVERYWHERE and this is one bar that the Richmond County Sheriff's Department doesn't place a Sheriff at all the time.
A good time no matter what, just be careful about the ability to lose total track of time and reality while inside.
Ultimately, with an above average selection of bottled beer, decent domestic taps, and liquor, no one goes wrong with a trip to the Soul Bar. It is, after all, the bar that keeps MCG going...
My favorite bar in America. Â Hands down. Â No pretenses, excellent music, excellent shows, and a great crowd. Â Plus, $1 PBR bottles on Monday and Tuesday night. Â If it weren't for this place, medical school would have driven me to insanity.
Definitely hit the Halloween Disco Hell -- one of the best parties you'll ever be a part of! Also, great place to get away from the crowd during Masters Week -- and you can get dinner at Nacho Mama's next door!
Downtown Augusta's dirty punk bar with high ceilings, eye contact and strong drinks. Â No need for golf shirts, ankle socks or sharp baseball caps, but no one cares what you look like if you want to drink and hang out. A nice dirty break from chain bars in new buildings with no one around. Â I liked what I saw, drank and witnessed- holds it down Augusta style, the Augusta style that likes art and imperfection.
Review Source:Am I seriously the 1st to review this gem? Â Really?? I'm honored. Â
Augustans where have you been drinking--and why aren't you spending your liquor allowance here?
The only negative thing about the Soul Bar is the fact that you have to force someone in your party to stay sober enough to drive your drunk ass home.
Good selection of draft and bottle beer (and liquor of course)--good music--good people. Â There's even a pool table.
Watch out for the high school reunion factor kids--if your former classmates aren't at home with their brats (I mean sweet baby children) they're likely here. Â You've been warned--don't go here looking schlubby.
