Spring is doing its thing—and we’ve got the venues to match. From a rooftop vineyard to an origami studio, Sofar shows are popping up in spaces that are almost too clever to be real (almost). Here’s a peek at some of the spots we’re extra excited about right now.
1. Blossom Flower Bar | Lakewood, OH, US
Yes, you can build your own bouquet and catch a show in the same place. Blossom Flower Bar in Lakewood is as cute as it sounds—a floral DIY dream-meets-gift shop with spring energy for days. It’s an ideal backdrop for acoustic sets and snapping a post-show selfie with your handmade bouquet. Follow them here to keep up with events and epic bouquet inspo.
2. The Point Paddington Rooftop | London, UK
A rooftop with serious main character energy? That’s The Point. Tucked in the London district of Paddington, it holds everything you need for a rom-com backdrop: city views, good angles, and just enough breeze to keep things a little cozy. It’s everything you need for a spring date night with your boo or bestie.
3. ARTime Barro | Costa Mesa, California, US
Just outside the buzz of LA, ARTime BARRO in Costa Mesa is a pottery studio that doubles as a perfect spot for an intimate show. Surrounded by shelves of handmade ceramics, the earthy, chill vibe welcomes creativity and community. You might come in for the music, but leave with a new favorite hobby.
4. Origami Studio | Toronto, CA
Origami Studio is where art folds into paper cranes, sushi, or Sofar sets. Opened by the team behind Roll This Way Sushi, this Toronto space flips from sushi workshop to intimate Sofar venue with serious flair. It’s unexpected, a little offbeat, and somehow exactly the right setting to discover your next favorite artist.
5. Rooftop Reds | New York City, NY, US
Rooftop Reds: the only vineyard in NYC and the only rooftop vineyard in the world (allegedly). Yes, it’s as cool as it sounds. You get Brooklyn views, rows of grapes, and the thrill of drinking wine made from vines closer to the Sofar artists. Music tastes better with wine anyway (allegedly).
