    Cute little place we spotted while walking back to our hotel. Beer selections were minimal. As were wines. Odd for a town where you can't throw a rock in any direction without hitting a wine tasting room. Local musicians play to tourists wandering by, filtering in, and it may be a nice way to cap an evening if you enjoy the musician. Cheers! CC

    An intimate spot if you're looking for great live music, a good drink, and a fun time! We were looking for something to do after dinner and this was a great spot! Friendly faces and talented entertainment! Good for date night or a lively spot for friends. We will be back!

    My husband and I really love Lost Chord Guitars and have ever since he first discovered it on our first trip to Solvang many years ago. My husband is a musician and is looking to play here sometime. We've enjoyed many free shows at this venue throughout the years. The bar/shop has wonderful free concerts Wednesday to Sunday evenings and delicious local wine and beer. I've attached the most recent wine and beer list as the gal that works the bar informed me they rotate the alcohol list every so often. My husband and I attended Tom Gastineau's live concert Wednesday, April 16, 2025. He plays soothing, mellow keyboard music. We sat in the back on the comfy couch while petting Tom's dog, Toto and sipping wine. We bought a bottle of the Lost Chord Alto Blend bottle of white wine and it was absolutely delicious to the last drop. I highly recommend attending an evening show at this venue. It's free and they've got great music played by wonderful musicians. You'll really enjoy it and it'll heighten your stay while at Solvang.

    Wine is de rigeur here!

    Bartender Elise took such great care of us. Beer, wine and coffee is de rigeur here! This feels like a cozy mini-theater. Bar on the left, stage straight ahead and coffee shop area back left. They feature different musical acts. Patrons very respectful of the musical craft displayed here and intently listen. Not much loudness from the audience during the acts but the crowd gets louder during breaks. Lots of parking. Seat yourself. No cover charge for the acts but tips are accepted. Comfortable. No need for ear plugs here.

    This place is right next door to the hotel we were staying at which was very convenient. City of Solvang closes super early but this place is basically the only place that stays open until midnight. They also have outdoor tables. We came at 8 and each got a drink. They have a limited list of wine, beer, and beverages. We sat down to enjoy the live performance by Jackson Gillies. Had an absolute wonderful time. This was Friday night. My friend had beer while I had rose. We had a wonderful time and couldn't wait to return. The next day, Saturday, places nearby had live music until 9 and this place was the place to be after 9. We came in and the artist was on break, however the person behind the bar told us it'll resume soon until 11 and $10 cover charge. I looked on the website and confirmed it did say $10 cover charge but we weren't charged the night before. Maybe they meant $10 minimum purchase? I'm sorry, but I'm not going to pay cover for a band I don't know when I'm going to buy multiple drinks with tip and tip the artist. For that reason, I'm knocking down a star.

    Super chill place with live music. There's a cover charge, but nothing outrageous. Beer and wine on the menu.

    Really cool, edgy, authentic atmosphere with amazing music, wine and beer. The staff is super friendly and welcoming and made us feel like we were guests in their home! We'll definitely be back!

    Overdue review!! We randomly came accross this venue during our walk in quaint Solvang. We had just stuffed ourselves with beer and wanted more beer (makes sense right?) The name caught my attention, we were in for a treat. As soon as we walked in we saw a bunch of... chords! Guitars on the wall and no people *sits down*. This venue looked intimate, hopefully we can come back and enjoy a show one day. What we did enjoy was Kelsey's company and conversation. He's been working there during the pandemic, he shared his experience and stories. I definitely enjoyed my time there! So much kudos to Kelsey. I think he's due for a raise. Thank you for making our experience memorable, once we get our children's book going we'll include your name Kelsey (inside joke). So if in solvang, stop by for a beer and maybe a show, if not talk to Kelsey.

    Signs posted at different places so walked in to check it out. They asked us for a $25 cover charge per see so which wasn't posted anywhere on their advertisement signs. Ridiculous amount to pay to go to a bar especially when there was 4 of us. Walked out and spent our money elsewhere.

    good beer

    This place was really fun. We found out about it from a winery that was on the main strip stating that they were going to have a band playing later that night, so we decided to venture there and it was soo fun! The place was packed and they had a nice set up so you could sit or stand and hear the music. There wasn't a wide selection of drinks, but the beers hey did have on tap were good and the bartender was one it. He was soo busy and yet you didn't wait too long for him to help and he had a great memory as well when you got another. The bathrooms were around the corner, which was interesting, that is definitely a theme here in this city, the bathrooms not being inside venues, but they were clean and plenty of stalls and the band that played was soo good! They played some covers and also their own music, the lead singers dad was there cheering and handing out posters, it was cute. We had lots of fun. There was a rude customer, but I mean, there's always one right.

    Great guitars and music
    Vicky L.

    Kelsey was extremely hospitable. A great bar to visit if you're looking for a something after 9m!

    My girlfriend and I had the best time at Lost Chord Guitars last night. Chris was playing, beer and wine were flowing, and Kelsey was making sure everyone was safe. Definitely a must visit in Solvang, especially if there's music.

    Kristianna S.

    The Lost Chord is a stunning venue and tasting room for everyone. Weather you stumble upon this local gem, or if you are seeking a more artistic and musically elevated experience, this space will fill your soul. The Pinot Noir was our favorite, especially paired with acoustic guitar and harmonic. I look forward to coming back!

What was very unprofessional was that he verbalized this to the table next to me, revealing exactly what had happened and who had rated his establishment with low stars.

To say I used profanity, for what reason ?, however I did give a tip .Sir you have a bad temper. I didn't check in with anyone because no one was there and when I asked for a menu, 10 minutes later I was told the Menu for food was Inside. This is when you greeted me with a smile did you not forget. It's ok my review will stay and no I didn't just come to review, I wanted to yelp an eatery and I chose your establishment, I spent well over $40. Your passive aggressiveness shows.

After a delicious dinner nearby, we stopped in for drinks, live music, and a good time and this place delivered. They had a great live band playing fun tunes that really set the atmosphere.

They have all the typical tiki fare, plus fun new ones to try! As a Vegas local, I loved to see the tribute drink to Frankie's Tiki Room too! Of course, everything comes served in a fun cup with a photo worthy presentation. The gentleman that served us was helpful and our service from him was great. I removed 1 star for the younger person who was behind the bar when we left and were trying to pay. To start, he seemed annoyed by a large group that walked in and was deciding if they wanted to stay. It also rubbed me wrong when he was loudly talking with someone at the bar about beliefs that might not be considered kind to some potential customers. Overall, didn't ruin the experience as it was a small part of it, and I would still recommend visiting this unique spot!

Even when the live music showed up, we couldn't bring ourselves to stick around because the food and wine were so bad. It's true, we did receive a story with our order. I don't care how good the origin story is if the wine sucks. It tasted like the bottle had been open for way too long (understandable given the lack of business) and the wine wasn't good to begin with so being stale didn't help. We were really there for the popcorn flight, which we had read raving reviews about. It was unimpressive to say the least. We kept expecting the flavors to get better but they only got stronger and more candle / soap like as we sampled. It tasted like the popcorn was doused in essential oils, so strong it was choking us to consume the soggy popcorn. Just brutal. I can't say one good thing about that popcorn. The one star I gave them is for the bow wow bag they gave my pup - it was a little goodie bag of milkbones which he appreciated!

It's almost like a nondescript main entrance, like a store front where to go beers are sold. But then real through the store towards the back; voila the bar and patio. The vibe is super chill. There are a multitude of other breweries drafts on tap so that's great. Prices are a tad higher than what I've paid but it's a tourist area so it is what it is. Come check their place out when you get a chance!
