SOMO Village Event Center — Local services in Rohnert Park

This place has lost its meaning to care for our County & Locals as well as it's class to care about paying their artists. A friend of mine Brian Francis Baudin was extremely mistreated, treated unfairly, & the place did not advertise & failed to pay him. He's playing with the Blues Traveler's & Real Country artists in Nashville this Fall. So Stoked for him Sonoma county is failing in various ways & has been. Geudice WTH are you & your staff doing. Hell look at all the lacks of service to care for RP & it's citizens. Hell look at debris in the creek beds to over flooding during the rain storms. This place has went downhill. Get it together. Just cause you are in Wine Country & thinking your place is on top doesn't it mean it is. Last time Somo was Great...

Nice small outdoor venue. Food vendors and booze throughout. Sound was good and the show is intimate. You don't here words like, "intimate" when describing an outdoor show, but this place is really small. I had to drive the night we were there, so no drinking for me. I noticed that the bar booths never stopped pouring drinks. They continued to serve people that were already hammered. Tons of people left there loaded. The cops were outside the gates and giving sobriety tests to several people that I saw, I'm sure there were many more arrests that I didn't see. If I had to give a corrective criticism it would be to shut off the alcohol at the seventh inning stretch. Kind of messed up to get customers that wrecked and kick them out...

The quality of our experience at SOMA from years past has notably decreased (2022). We parked in the very back instead of the front where we have parked in the past. We had to wait until long after the show to get out. No beer to the left of the stage this time, and very long lines in the back. And the worst part of all was the VIP area in front of the stage. It's one thing to have VIP on the sides and easy access to the bar, but to section off the area right in front of the stage was so very ugly. Especially at a reggae show that is all about the people and you chose to promote...
