What People Are Saying About Solo

Featured Review

Anna Roth

Contributor

In Short – This cozy spot in the bottom of an apartment building is everything a neighborhood bar should be--varied, comfortable and affordable. Any given night might feature well-dressed operagoers mingling with scruffy hipsters at the white plastic bar or watching projected indie films from candlelit tables. The drink menu offers a small-but-solid selection of wine, specialty cocktails and other Spanish drinks like sangria, Kalimotxo (red wine mixed with Coke) and Clara (light beer with grapfruit juice).

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
Live music and DJs are in the bar most weekend nights.
When to Go:
This is a great spot for a pre- or post-theater nosh--but if you don't have tickets, make sure to arrive after 7:30pm to avoid the rush.
On the Menu:
There's a wide selection of tapas, ranging from bocadillos (sandwiches) to items like Frico--strips of fried cheese with a sun-dried tomato and cream cheese dipping sauce.
Happy Hour:
Sunday and Monday nights feature all-night happy hour, with cheap wells and pints of Rainier.

I enjoy Solo.

by jimbolah at Citysearch

I go to Solo at least once every two weeks. The drink selection is very nice, I really enjoy the staff, and the food is good. The food portions may be a little lean but it seems that Solo not meant to be a place you go for dinner, but for drinks and semi-exotic appetizers. And they are good. I give Solo big thumbs up and that's why its one of my most frequent stops.

  • Pros: Friendly and artistic environment.
  • Cons: Would like more live musical variety.

Great bartenders, good food

by randizzler at Citysearch

Solo is a great neighborhood bar! It's a great place to go before or after a show, on the way to a movie or just to hang out.The live music and d.j. nights are always a blast and the staff are hilarious and inviting.

I recommend checking out their food menu too. They have some tasty meat and cheese plates (amongst a ton of other menu items) and delicious hummus!

Check out Solo if you get the chance, it's definitely one of my favorites!!

Terrible customer service

by joshbell74 at Citysearch

Solo has a very rude staff, weak drinks and bad food. Very dirty too - the bartender was outside smoking more than working the entire evening. did not wash his hands before serving.

  • Pros: Goood Sound system
  • Cons: Dirty, rude waiters with bad, overpriced food and drinks.
