Sweet potato fries -must try . They serve amazing hot dogs and burgers. Also, the decor is really good. Overall presentation is also good. Majorly, loved the food with fries.
Burgers, alcohol and live music all in the one place! What else could you want!?
This place is on the top of my list of places to go when I want a fun night out with the girls. The perfect place for a boogie on a Saturday night but also perfect for a chilled out drink with mates after work during happy hour. Can’t recommend this venue enough!
The staff was so nice and food came out pretty quickly. The chilli cheese fries were so worth my money and the portion was more than enough. The venue is one of the coolest places especially their door.
The soda factory is a pretty cool venue. Most days they have a specials. Luckily for us it was dollar hot dogs. So I got 8 and some truffle tater tots. The place has booths and table around the walls and the bar is in the middle which is good. Although only being a small venue it makes it exclusive with a not so obvious entry, though the bouncer out the front makes a little more obvious. They also have a dj and live music. So if you short for cash or just looking for a cheap eat check them out.
Usually go to Soda Factory for drinks on a Friday (super busy and packed out usually!), but a couple mates and I decided to check it out on Tuesday for $1 Hot Dogs!
We were very impressed by the quality of the hot dogs and although the good hot dogs were slightly more expensive ($2-$5) they were worth it as well for a bit of variety. They also had a live band playing that night to give the place a bit more atmosphere and make it a good overall experience.
The FAT BUBBA FRIED CHICKEN - Bucket !!! Is the way to go! Grab your friends, get a beer and a bucket and get finger licking! The chicken is super crunchy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside.
I LOVE SODA FACTORY! It is my go to place for awesome music (which quite often is live!) , fun cocktails and tasty hot dogs. I love the American inspired menu, and like the fact there is a vegetarian option too. The fries here are a definite luxury for me because I power through them so so quickly. Service here is really great and I've never had issues with the staff. My ONLY complaint about soda is how squishy and packed it gets, but honestly the fact that the music is so so so great really makes for a wonderful night.
I have been a frequent attendant of the Soda Factory and I always recommend it. The staff are friendly and the vibe of the venue overall is amazing. Personal favourite cocktails are the Russian Bride and the Pablo Escobar. The food menu is also very good; the Fried Chicken is always on point, as are the sweet potato fries. Plus, this venue plays the best music in Sydney.
One of the neighbour hood bars that never disappoints on any given night.
The house beers are an eclectic mix and have a great ale on tap.
But be mindful of long serpentine ques on the weekend for entering.
Amazing vibes and a great place to just chill with mates. The cocktails are pretty good and the food is decent too. I love how they have specials throughout the week and awesome live music.
So weird at the beginning, there was not many people when we arrived but there was a long waiting line and only two bartenders, one was so slow. The food was great. Then the Dj started and the party/music was so good.
Shout out to Frankie and his team for helping us deliver a birthday surprise event. The staff were attentive and professional and we all had a great time. Beware that the music gets louder and louder through the night!
Brilliant location. Brilliant staff. Great food at a very good price for the city! Lovely and unusual range of cocktails - always seems to be a great band playing. Try and get a booth - highly recommended
I love this little place, great music and atmosphere. The drinks are good and well priced. Bar staff are super lovely. It's a $15 entry fee and it's well worth it, there is a good mix of music. I always dance the night away. It's not far from Central Station about a 10min walk. The hotel next door is pretty well priced, clean and they have a cafe for breakfast. I have only been on a Saturday night, there is a mix of age groups I never feel like the oldest person lol 😝
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!
What am amazing venue. My friend and I came here for the first time and I had heaps of questions... Nikki who works here gave us an overview of what to expect through the week - thanks Nikki, you were great!
And the bartender was great. He knows who he is :D the ice cream beer guy haha
