Solo

03/10/2008 Posted by jimbolah

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.

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!!

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.

terrible service. mean waiters. awful, food. the staff made everyone listen to Steely Dan-what a terrible atmosphere. it is a shame because it is a great space but the employees and cooks ruin every aspect of it.

Pros: It looks nice inside

Cons: Terrible, overpriced food, rude staff, awful music

I've never written a review before, but felt that my most recent experience at Solo warranted it. The first time I went there was right after they opened -- I thought the service was friendly, but a bit slow and the food was so-so. I went back last week to see if it had improved and was sorely disappointed. The place was full, but not packed and the kitchen was super slow -- it took me almost 40 minutes to get a small appetizer. I ordered the risotto-balls which were disgusting -- the risotto was crunchy in the middle, had a gloppy/gluey consistency and absolutely bland, there was more flavor in the vegetable oil it had been fried in -- really gross. The servers are friendly, but that's about the only plus this place has.

Pros: friendly service

Cons: slow service, bad food

I think the ambiance of Solo is charming. They always have an eclectic movie playing with excellent music. I haven't been disappointed by their drinks or tapas. It gets rather busy and the service slows down during that time but it doesn't bother me. Everyone is friendly and I love sitting on the couch with friends. Their menu is delectable and I plan on going in to try the things I have yet to sample. I even adore the gummy candy they put in my drinks!

Best Bar in Seattle. Great Dj's. Cool artwork. The hottest bartenders in town. All you need. And the drinks are strong!

Solo has a very "Cheers" atmosphere, combined with a very cool, trendy low-lit lounge vibe. It is a great place to take a date after an event, or to just go "solo," which I prefer. The art on the walls features local artists and each month they switch it up! You never know what will be featured, but you know it will be cool and different. The bar tenders are friendly and have a very "Seattle hip vibe about then." This bar really encompasses what a Seattle bar should be. I have gone in after work at 5pm for their great happy hour, and gone in on the weekends when they feature great local bands! I love that everybody knows my name and makes me feel at home no matter what day, night, or crowd is there!

Pros: Great cool atmosphere, nice people, great art on walls, makes you feel right at home, very friendly bartenders!

Cons: No outside seating, small venue, one bathroom

I love Solo and everyone who works there! Michael and Val are awesome... they always are friendly and considerate. Drinks are always quality and the atmosphere is fun. I've had MANY fun nights at Solo from the grand opening to a friend's going away party and have never had anything to complain about (except for maybe only having one bathroom... but what an awesome bathroom it is!). Go there for their awesome pita plates and interesting drink selections.

Pros: Great employees, great drinks, great appetizers

Cons: Only one bathroom but well worth the wait!
