Sofo Tap is technically a bear bar, but don't let that fool you—it's a laid-back and inclusive haven where all members of the LGBTQ+ community are welcomed with open arms. My favorite reason to go to Sofo Tap is their drink specials. They really know how to keep visitors happy with awesome daily specials and a killer happy hour. And when the weather is warm, their back patio is the place to be.

Dog treat given free on Saturday afternoons. Great place that day to bring pooch. Drink specials too. Also give space to local artists to display art work on wall. Of course for sale too

cute guys, poor bartenders
Generally I have a nice time at this bar due to the crowd, however, the bar staff leaves something to be desired. The bartender asked if I'd like another and I said yes. He then proceeded to chit chat with other people at the bar for a couple minutes, have a shot, clean some glasses, then stand in front of me and take a sip of water. He then saw my empty glass and remembered to refill my drink. I almost walked out on principle.
