Cool place with a cool atmosphere. They have nice bartenders and the espresso martinis were amazing! Will definitely be back in the future.

Thought this place was going to be more fancy from the pictures and more like a cocktail lounge, but it is more like a normal bar. Fridays they have $6 margs tho.

This is a great place to go for a first date between 6-10pm. It's not busy, the music wasn't too loud, and it has a very nice upscale comforting atmosphere. The staff was great, drinks were amazing with an average cocktail price of $12, and plenty of deals on beers, wines, margaritas, etc. They'll turn the music up at 9pm when it starts to get busier, and 10pm is when the main music event starts and it turns into a typical loud fun dance club. Both my date and I were very impressed. I highly recommend The Sofie!

Actually love this place, very LGBT friendly , very cool staff and in a great area. The bartender is always different but they all have something special and can make a great lemon shot.

Went here for New Year’s had so much fun had very good drinks atmosphere was great. Only thing is I got my coat stolen and I’m very very disappointed. ? called the next day, but I had no luck. Was hoping maybe it got left behind or if they had cameras, they could help me distinguish maybe who it

5/5 — Went to the Sofie for a couple of shots and danced for 10 min on the little dance floor. Cool spot & good live DJ music. A mix of people of various age (21-48). I’d come back with my friends.

Came to the Sofie for the first time on my birthday which fell on a Thursday night which is ladies night! They had select martinis for only $5-6 (I forget what it was)! The martinis were all really good, sweet, but I enjoyed that. The vibe in there is very loungey and comfortable! I had reserved a section in the back which was very easy and they had bartenders checking in on us and clearing our table which was super nice. I love the location of this bar and definitely will be back!

My friend got roofied here Friday night. The only positive is that the music was amazing.
My friend and I went to the Sofie for the Thursday $5 martini deal. This was my second time there and (just as I thought) it was wonderful. We ordered cosmos and they had the perfect amount of citrus. The bartenders were quick and attentive. The decor is modern, and the outside entrance almost feels speakeasy-like. Totally worth it!

A hole in the wall bar in downtown Milwaukee. It's pretty cramped at peak times, but the drinks are yummy.

Stopped by on a Saturday night for a drink.When you walk in, you head up straight to the bar or head back towards the lounge section.The Sofie had a great cocktail list but I don't think most patrons are aware as I had two people come up and ask about my drink. I shouldn't have been too surprised as most folks were ordering beer, canned beverages, or shots. I ordered a Chai Whiskey Sour, and my friend ordered Elusive Dreams (tropical vibes focused drink). My drink was well balanced and a very unique flavor profile.If you're in the area, don't skip out on the cocktails and enjoy a great drink!

Kind of a hipster, speakeasy vibe. Dark, moody, a little loud with funky music. They have nice amount of seating for being a small area, and they have couches that let you comfortable hang out with your small group. There's apparently live music there frequently. The bartenders were all sweet and attentive.

The house music on Wednesdays! Awesome vibe and lounge areas.
