Solas

Celebrated a birthday here in the upstairs lounge. It was spacious and worked out great. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Drinks were reasonably priced. The DJ was spinning some good music - very eclectic - a little bit of everything. Pros: Great music, reasonably priced drinks, and helpful/friendly bartenders and cocktail waitresses Cons: ?? more

The DJ was spinning some good music - very eclectic - a little bit of everything. I would definitely have a party here again or just go to hang out and have a drink while listening to some great music.

Went here for a bday party...and it was actually a great space...but I left deaf. That decibel level is just unnecessary. Really. Bring earplugs. more

We used the private room upstairs - great for a group or a private party. The staff were really helpful and we'd definitely go back. A good experience, overall! more

I just had my party here Saturday night and it went off without a hitch. The manager, Kevin, was so nice and helped me thru the whole planning process. When I got there, the staff was very accomodating and they hooked me up with my own section for my guests. The music was bumpin' and everybody had a good time. After previous years of bad bday party experiences, Solas was able to give me a great bday. Pros: music, service, location Cons: it can get too crowded at times more

I've found this place to be a friendly environment, good service and awesome staff. Especially the nice and handsome bouncer (Julio) at the front, he is so dreamy, I love going just to see him and have pleasant conversations with him. Me and friends are in competiton with him, we make plans every week just to see who can get his number, I dont understand why they have that ugly big nose bouncer (Fouad) working with this fine handsome dominican, I would go any day just to see this one handsome and intriguing bouncer, and I would recommend it to the girls but you will be in competition! Pros: Handsome Julio Cons: Ugly Fouad more

I was with a group of 12 friends last night and they wanted to go to a fun bar. I said, ""let's go to Solas,"" having had a good time there before. Pros: Multiple rooms, upstairs Cons: Bouncers, Management, Bartenders, sometimes very empty more

I was with a group of 12 friends last night and they wanted to go to a fun bar. I said, "let's go to Solas," having had a good time there before. Well, we turned out to be half of their customers on a Friday night and despite our increasing their business, they were continually rude to us. We wanted to go into the bar, and the doormen kept wanting us to go into the dancing room. It was a totally awkward moment with bouncers shuffling us around at the door. I mean, honestly, let us walk in and buy your alcohol! Then, later that night, my friend and I went over to the bar. It had a couple empty glasses sitting out on it so my friend stacks the glasses and moves them to an area that's easier for the bartender to reach. Now, I would consider this a nice thing to do so that the bartender, who was lazily sitting on the counter behind the bar, didn't have to walk around the bar and clear the glasses. But instead, as we lean on the bar, watching our friends dance, the manager walks over and says to him "Don't touch the glasses. Don't break them." My friend points the glasses and says, "They aren't broken. I was just moving them." The manager again says, "Just don't touch them." My friend says, "Ok man, sorry." Then the manager says to both of us, "In fact, don't stand here. Stand somewhere else." I jump in, having done nothing, and say "Whoa, what's the problem. He apologized and obviously wasn't trying to do anything wrong. Why can't we stand here?" The manager just says, "just go stand someplace else. You're blocking the view." WHAT VIEW? Of the bar? Dear Manager, - Don't take a nothing situation and turn it into something. Management is not supposed to escalate problems, not to mention CREATE them! - I brought a party of 12 people to your bar that had NO business that night. Guess what, in the future, I won't bring them. Keep acting like a moron and people will continue to not return to your bar.

My friend and I had our 30th bday party there. We had a blast. They were so accomodating! Melvin and Julio (the bouncers) were great. They were so friendly. I would recommended this place to anyone that wants to have a party/ They reserved a room for us with no charge. I had a blast! Thank you Solas! more

I had a wonderful experience at Solas this past weekend; I threw a surprise party in the Red Room at Solas, and everyone had a great time. From the very beginning of my planning processes right up until we all went home, everyone was extremely friendly, helpful, and professional. The Red Room is also a great location - cozy and comfortable, and it's right next to the bar! I want to extend my heartiest thanks to everyone at Solas who helped to make my party special, and I highly recommend Solas to anyone thinking of throwing a party in NYC! Pros: Private setting, great service, helpful staff more

I had my birthday party at Solas last month and I was completely satisfied with their service. Nobody had a problem at the door, the bartenders were friendly and were very generous with the alcohol. The private room on the side where I had my party was very classy, clean, intimate, yet with enough room for dancing. I highly recommend this place. more

Literally about 10% girls and guys everywhere else - my friends and I had a great time, spacious, decent music, cheap drinks, cute guys. Definitely worth a try. Pros: guy count, spacious, cheap Cons: none really more

I went to Solas last weekend to celebrate my birthday with a full range of friends (richer/poorer, uptight/laid back, girls/guys). It seemed like each of them had a good time, as at least one of Solas' four or so rooms had something to offer each person. The drinks were good and moderately priced and the service was fairly quick. The bar was full of people but not overly crowded. As a single guy, i definitely appreciated the plentiful girls (although the ratio isn't like the type of place that lets in only one guy for every 4 girls). I'll definitely go again. Pros: inexpensive, fun crowd Cons: line at door more
