I’m a regular at the soul & fragrant there Fridays & Saturdays I must admit I have no complaints.
I’m 45 & it’s perfect for me and my partner, mature trouble free crowd, great music, happy attentive staff, reasonable prices, friendly security, its open very late & it’s local (so I can get pissed as a fart & it’s a cab away!).
The Soul has a brilliant party atmosphere and the size contributes to that … what ever you guys are doing DON’T CHANGE IT !!
Moved to Walthamstow a few months ago.Heard about the Soul Bar, and went there last Sat night.
Had a great time. Drinks were reasonable, staff were nice and everyone there was friendly.
The music was great, played alot of old skool soul.There was no trouble. It was a great atmosphere.
Everyone there was just there to dance and have a great time.The only downside, the toilets were not great.
But in there defence, they did have signs up saying they would be all new soon.I would defo recommend this place, and will be going again real soon.
I come here often and being 40+ this is one of the best clubs I have ever been especially if you go there on a night James Anthony DJ is playing. Me and my friends dance non stop until as every song played is a hit.
The atmosphere is great, the people are friendly and the door staff very polite. The only down side is the place is very small, but overall you will always have a fab night here and I will always come back. The drinks are also reasonably priced too. The only warning is if you are under 35+ don't come here cos it's for the matured crowd.
We have passed this place before but there has always been such a long queue we haven't been in until last night. We are so glad we finally made it inside, the place was great, the staff were all welcoming and friendly and the DJs had it just right for the tastes of the crowd that were in.
A great place to go if you're 30+, and want a hassle-free, easy relaxing night. Previous reviewer's comments about it being a 'house-party' atmosphere summed it up very well, not many flashy lighting effects, just a dimmed glow and a happy vibe. We'll definitely be going back again soon.
Been to the The Soul many times in the last few years. I agree with the other reviewers that the staff are lovely and a good night is always to be had as fellow patrons are mature and just out to have a good time. You do need to get there early or be prepared to stand outside for a very long time!
However, the lack of cloakroom, and decent toilets (which are forever blocked, flooded or both) needs attention. They have now started charging entry so the least they can provide is proper facilities. The DJs can become boring if you are a regular and their attempts to play reggae fall flat so it's best they leave that side of entertainment to those who have an extensive collection (good thing going by Sugar Minott is played too often).
The Soul in small doses makes for a decent night out - anything more than that becomes monotonous
If ever you want a house party and are thinking twice about the cost and the work and the turmoil involved let alone having a good time! ...well I have a tip for you! JUST GO TO THE SOUL BAR in Walthamstow.
This bar feels like a house party every time I go there, staff are attentive the music is great and full of memories which hark back to those classic clubs of the 80's and early 90's the people are of my time (40+) there is no trouble or bad attitudes ... just people having a good time, and to top it all the choice and cost of drinks are great.
This bar is a gem and I hope it’s around for a long long time.
Take note! ... just like the other reviewer says get there early especially on Fridays and Saturdays.

If you are that "age" and looking for a trendy night out without the hoodies, sagging jeans and tatty G-string revealing crowd, then the Soul Bar is just the perfect place to be. The crowd is sophisticated and mature, the absolute hang-out for professional ladies and gents. The music is a blend of rare soul and groove mixed up with equally vintage reggae and soca hits. I have never had a dull moment at the Soul Bar either in a group or on my own. The only catch is get there before 11pm to avoid standing outside while your favourite tunes play away....!!!Ozzy
Everytime I go to the Soul Bar the vibe/people is nice. The Bar staff are pleasant. So far I celebrate my siblings birthdays there with mind to come this weekend and of course I will be celebrating my birthday with my sister-in-law (we share the same birthday ) this Friday. Keep it up I will recommend to all my friends.
