Local tips
- Aim for Thursday or early evening Friday if you want a more relaxed atmosphere with easier access to bar seating before the late-night crowd builds.
- Combine your visit with dinner from the surrounding Street Food stalls; order food first, then settle by the bar where cocktails and beers pair well with most cuisines.
- Bring a light layer even in summer, as the large former theatre building can feel cooler in shoulder seasons, especially near entrances and the covered courtyard.
- If you prefer conversation-friendly volume, choose a table slightly away from the main bar counter, where music and bar noise blend more softly.

An urban cocktail hideaway in an old theatre
SoHo – Bar & Cocktails occupies a corner of the atmospheric Esbjerg Street Food hall, housed in a converted old theatre building on Kongensgade. The space retains a touch of its theatrical past: high ceilings, exposed details and a sense of volume, now filled with the low murmur of conversations and clinking glassware instead of stage cues. Here, SoHo acts as the grown-up anchor of the complex, designed as a relaxed yet refined bar where drinks take centre stage. With its own identity within the larger food-hall ecosystem, SoHo manages to feel like a standalone bar even as it shares the building with multiple kitchens and communal tables. You step from the bustle of the pedestrian street into an indoor world where light, sound and design are curated for lingering over a drink rather than rushing through a meal.Cocktails, craft pours and a focus on the glass
The heart of SoHo is its long, well-stocked bar, backed by shelves of bottles and softly glowing lighting. Classic cocktails, from sours to long drinks, share the menu with contemporary house creations that lean into seasonal fruits, fresh garnishes and modern twists on familiar recipes. The bartenders work theatre into their craft, measuring, shaking and straining with a calm, practiced rhythm. Beyond cocktails, there is usually a considered selection of spirits, including gins, rums and whiskies, alongside beers on tap or in bottles sourced to complement the wider Street Food offering. The drinks list is designed to pair with everything from loaded burgers and pizzas to lighter Asian dishes from the surrounding stalls, inviting you to mix and match flavours across food and bar.Design, mood and corners made for conversation
SoHo leans into modern Scandinavian bar design: clean lines, a muted palette, warm wood, metal accents and deliberately dimmed lighting. High stools at the bar encourage interaction with the bartenders, while more intimate tables and lounge-like corners are set up for small groups or couples. The focus is on atmosphere rather than loud entertainment; music tends to sit comfortably in the background, leaving room for conversation. Because it sits within a 2000 m² former theatre, there is more breathing space than in many city bars. You can slip between the livelier communal tables of the hall and the slightly more cocooned feel of the bar area, choosing the energy level that suits your evening. In warmer months, drinks can often migrate towards the covered courtyard or out to the pedestrian zone, bringing a hint of outdoor café culture to cocktail hour.Part of Esbjerg’s social living room
Esbjerg Street Food has become a broader cultural hub, hosting live music, themed events and informal gatherings, and SoHo is woven into that social fabric. On some evenings, the bar serves as the natural focal point before or after performances, talks or casual meetups that animate the hall. Groups gravitate here to raise a first toast before sampling the food stalls, or to extend the night after plates have been cleared. Despite the lively setting, the bar maintains an approachable, unpretentious character. It welcomes a cross-section of Esbjerg life: colleagues ending the workweek, friends meeting in the city centre, travellers exploring the Wadden Sea coast and locals marking small celebrations. The shared seating and flowing layout mean it is easy to blend into the crowd or quietly people-watch over a carefully mixed drink.Planning your night at SoHo
SoHo typically opens from late afternoon into the early hours from Thursday to Saturday, catering mainly to evenings out rather than daytime visits. This makes it a natural choice for aperitifs before dinner in the hall or for a compact night out that does not require crisscrossing the city. The central Kongensgade address places it within easy walking distance of Esbjerg’s main square and neighbouring bars, yet it offers enough variety under one roof that you can comfortably settle in for several hours. Inside, you will find restrooms, plenty of seating and covered spaces that make the bar appealing in all seasons, from dark, stormy winter nights to bright Scandinavian summer evenings. Whether you come for a single, well-executed cocktail or an entire evening woven around drinks, food and music, SoHo provides a convenient, city-centre base with a distinctly urban, grown-up feel.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
