The heart of SoHo just welcomed a brand-new live-music venue, soon to become a staple of the neighborhood's nightlife scene: SoHo Live. The highly anticipated venue held its press preview last week, kicking off its opening in style with a night full of electric energy, live music, bites and signature cocktails.
The evening was an unforgettable celebration, featuring an electrifying performance from Late Guest at the Party, a New York-based electronic band that had guests on their feet, dancing the night away. As the beats reverberated throughout the space, the crowd moved seamlessly to the rhythm, enjoying the high-energy atmosphere that SoHo Live promises to deliver on a regular basis.

The venue, tucked beneath the renowned Live Axe—a popular axe-throwing bar and lounge that Zac Segal, the mastermind behind both spots, opened in 2020—adds a dynamic new layer to the area’s nightlife. SoHo Live boasts a vibrant and modern interior, setting the perfect stage for live music performances, while its proximity to Live Axe adds to the fun factor, making it an ideal destination for a night out in SoHo.
Zac Segal’s vision for SoHo Live was to create a space where music lovers and social butterflies alike can come together to enjoy top-tier performances and a lively atmosphere. And judging by the preview, Segal has certainly succeeded in his mission. Guests were treated to a selection of delicious bites, including large pretzels and truffle pizza, which paired perfectly with the specialty cocktails that were crafted for the evening.
Two standout cocktails included the SoHo Live Espresso Martini, a caffeinated concoction made with Skyy espresso vodka, Bailey's, cold brew, and simple syrup—a perfect energizing drink for a night of dancing. Another crowd favorite was the Maple Melody, a rich and flavorful mix of bourbon, angostura bitters, and maple syrup, ideal for those looking to indulge in something a bit more decadent.
