Still pouring

Checked October 18, 2026.

Overview

Different rooms with different music on different floors means that there's always somewhere to escape to if you don't like the vibe where you are. It's a good place to bring a large group with disparate tastes.

History

Different floors, different music, same address

Solas dates itself to 19981, and it's still at 232 East 9th Street2. When we listed it, we liked it for big groups with disparate tastes: different floors played different music, so there was always somewhere to escape to. On Fridays and Saturdays it stays open until 4am2.
