The Soda Factory

Great Monday night movies and deals through the week

The Soda Factory is a cute and fun secret bar. We unknowingly came during happy hour and were super pleased with the cheap cocktails and discounted food! Even at regular price, the food is super affordable (Sydney “bar food” wise). It bothers me that they advertise themselves as an “American diner” when they are clearly a bar that serves hotdogs and hamburgers (which aren’t even quintessential diner foods), but I’m American so I’m a bit touchy. All I want is a legit diner and this is NOT it. Anyways, they have lots of vegetarian options which is great. The atmosphere is really fun, especially once the live music starts. The cocktails were affordable and tasty. While it didn’t hit the diner mark, the fried pickles were perfection. I would return!

Friendly vibe and very affordable food. The waiting time for the meal is a bit long but overall I’m happy and will go back very soon. If you’re coming here, I suggest you bring your friends as this is good for group dining

Hidden behind an unassuming entry, with a couple of security staff the only telltale; it's no surprise that few apart from regulars know of its existence. Stylish, imaginative and pumping - would begin to describe the vibe of this speakeasy. Large comfortable booths allow groups of 6-10 to cluster and the bar does a great job of flourishing drinks on order. Add to the list of Beautiful Sydney

The place is fine, secys not too sure

Good food, atmosphere and live music

Been there for friends' birthday. It has a nice atmosphere and very vibrant. The crowd shifted from startled to jumpy and young which was nice. But the music was way too load. The DJ was good even though not always playing something to my taste but he could feel the crowd and did find some good tunes to get people moving. It was fun but really it was way too load, you will leave the venue will ringing bells in your ears for hours if not days.

IF YOU HAVEN’T BEEN TO THIS PLACE THEN YOUR MISSING OUT!!!! SODA Factory is one of the most vibrant and unique bars in Sydney!!! With live music which is out of this world and definitely worth the trip!!! Soda factory bring an exclusive American style diner feel, paired with their famous Soda floats creates an atmosphere you have never experienced before. The hospitality is top quality, I’ve never felt so comfortable in a bar environment with such vibrant and friendly staff!!! Shout out to Rachael who looked after our tables extremely well. If you’re having a birthday here, I highly recommend booking the booths as they are super comfortable and 100% a vibe. The Dj is also top notch bring you the best 80s and 90s hits which will definitely be making you and your friends sing along. The food and drinks are extremely good! I highly recommend the Cherry cola soda float and the Motown Mac and cheese which is too die for!!! One of my favourite bars and will definitely be coming back again!!! Overall soda factory is hidden gem with unique aesthetic which stands out from the rest of the bar in Sydney!!!!

It's an amazing bar, with an even better atmosphere!!! If you haven't been you're definitely missing out and should visit. It truly is a hidden gem of Sydney as they say and I would definitely go back given the chance! I was greeted with friendly and capable staff, who did an excellent job. Shout out Rachael! The music selection perfectly complemented the vibe of the bar! Long story short give it a go, you won't regret it!!!

You'll definitely miss it, if you ain't looking properly! Definitely a nice hidden US-style diner and bar that you must tick off your list of bars to visit in Sydney! The $1 hotdogs that happen every Tuesday is a bargain you don't want to miss out on! And check their website to see what other special events are going on. The Tuesday that we went they had musical bingo going on, which kept the night entertaining! Best of all, it's located just a short stroll from QVB! Would definitely suggest making a booking, as there is always something on every evening, which attracts a crowd.
