If you're looking for a place to immediately feel at home, look no further. I come here for craft cocktails, delicious dinner and tantalizing talks with the handsome staff. read more

Let's be blunt, my view of Solo ain't great but I will say this - both times I have been there it has been just to eat. I hear great things from people who like to hang out at Solo, play Rock Band and get drunk and silly. So all I can say is maybe that is what you should go to Solo for. Don't go for the food or you will not be impressed. Awhile ago I went to Solo for brunch and it was fine...just fine. Last week, a fine young man took me there before we went to the Intiman Theater. Proximity to the theater was great, however the food was highly mediocre. Not to be snooty but their menu falls into the realm of faux-tapas. It is happening a lot in Seattle. Also, the menu online is already different from what we had one week ago so maybe they are trying to make changes. Thank you Solo, please do. The Frico (fried crispy Manchego cheese) was such a disappointment. Manchego melted down until it is not really recognizable is no bueno. So go to Solo to drink, just eat somewhere else beforehand. read more

What you need to know about Solo is that they have $4 cocktails at HH including one of the best Sangria's ever, staff are super friendly and the tacos are great. Happy hour prices all day on Sunday and Monday make this the killer Sunday afternoon chill spot. So comfy. read more

I am new to the neighborhood and stopped in last evening for Happy Hour. The bartender ignored me for a long time and then was outright hostile to me and I have no idea why. I am a middle aged brown woman and he carded me but not the white woman who sat at the table next to me who was clearly younger. He literally threw my check at me. I tipped $10 for a $10 bill just so I could get away from his bad energy as fast as possible! I will not be returning. read more

They serve food but apparently not if anyone is under 21. That's cool, but the server doesn't have to be such a*** about it.

Upgrading Solo to 4 Stars. I had such a good time last night! The bartender made me an awesome drink with Ruby Red Absolut, yummers! I still think they could use a waiter, but it wasn't too bad, especially considering the place was full due to Bumbershoot. Also, that weird shallow bathroom sink is one paper towel away from a massive flood, but I guess that'll be their problem when it happens. Still haven't tried the food but some friends had cow brains awhile back so this may be your kinda place if that sort of thing excites you. I just looked at the online menu and it looks, um, adventurous. Def not your typical bar food! read more

Shrimp and cheesy grits!!! This my favorite Queen Anne spot. Service is amazing, food is always stellar and the cocktails are always on point. read more

Went here for the first time last night and it's just the peachiest place. Our server was so lovely and the food was great! Cheesy grits are where it's at. I can definitely see myself hangin' here all the time. read more

To sum it up, Solo is the anti-Pesos bar in Queen Anne. The interior is very open and airy. I love the comfy couches inside. Check it out as your Pesos alternative if you're in Queen Anne! read more

If I'm in the LQA and need a libation, Solo is one of my go-to spots. The atmosphere walks a fine line between sophisticated and casual, and it's usually pretty mellow. They've got a fantastic happy hour! It's all day Sunday & Monday and from 5-7pm other days. Try their Diablo cocktail--only $4 at happy hour! This is also the first place I ever had a "Scottish Mule" (basically a Moscow Mule but with Hendricks gin--amazing). read more

Great ambiance, but too bad they don't have any visible signs saying that you need to go to the bar to be served. It's weird considering that most (all?) other drinking establishments I have been to with tables and couches have floor service, ESPECIALLY when slow. If the bartenders are standing around behind the counter, or wandering the floor, or clearing plates off your table, and not asking what you want to imbibe on, and still expecting you to come to the counter, something is seriously wrong. I don't know if this is a branding strategy, but after sitting on the couch for 30 minutes with no service (and a bad headache at that), my friend and I decided to leave. We went to Moxie and had amazing drinks and a freaking incredible chocolate piroshki dessert thingy. It's too bad because I thought I liked the place (Solo), until I realized you have to stand in line at the bar to get served. Is it me or is this unusual? Note to the owners: provide table service and you won't get the bad reviews! I'd even come back, lol! read more

It's a storefront bar with no ambiance. Tap beer is warm from the kegs. Doubt I'll ever be back to try the food. It's clean and service is pretty good though. read more

I ended up here Friday night and it was like I fell into one of those old twilight zone episodes where everything "appears" normal, but you just know something is off. When I first walked into this small bar I noticed a large bronze statue of a naked man in the corner behind a lounge couch. The walls where painted white and there where black and white paintings on the walls. The place seemed fairly busy, but staff seemed to be just hanging out at the bar. We seated ourselves at a small table close to the bar and waited for someone to help us. Over walks a woman who was just standing behind the bar. I think, "OK, that was good service." But.. I thought too soon. Instead of even saying, "hello" or "I'll be right with you." She proceeds to check that all the candles are lit on all the tables. When this VERY important job is finished she proceeds to walk back to the bar and start a conversation with who I think was the cook. As my self imposed 30 minute wait for service neared the end a fellow who I swear to god may have been Iggy Pop finally got around to walking over and asking us what we wanted to drink. After that it got a little better once they realized we where there. Service was still on the slow side and the one woman never stopped talking with the cook, so I guess either the food isn't that good, they were not in a hurry to provide service, or no one was hungry. Gimmick note: They had some black and white movie playing on the wall with the sound down and loud rock music blaring. I didn't get the gimmick, but I'm giving them one extra star for trying. read more

Great little happy hour spot if you're staying in Lower Queen Anne at The Maxwell Hotel. The bar has a pleasantly divey feel, but not in a gross and dingy kind of way. The bartender was extremely friendly and attentive and you can't beat the happy hour prices on draft beer and wine/sangria. Quirky food menu, but lots of good happy hour snacks including some gluten free options like deviled eggs. read more

We were here as a group of 10 people that popped I n just for drinks. A gentleman greeted us and quickly said the couches on the raised area would be perfect for our group. We ordered at the bar. French 75, Moscow mule, Pear Collins and pamplemousse were great. We ordered around of kamikaze shots from the female bartender... strong and tart just the way we like. It was a quick but pleasant stop. I hope to come back for hh next. read more

This is my first time coming to Solo. I was on a run and noticed that there was a group inside playing trivia, so I decided to stop by! I agree with the comment below...it's hard for me to rate this bar/lounge because again, it's my first time coming here. I don't think it looks like my Grandmas basement, it's actually very cute inside with a bar, chair and couches (cozy). I ended up getting the house Cab to drink... not good ( it's a house wine for $7...shouldn't be super good, I didn't have high expectations). For dinner, I got the Mac and Cheese with bacon... amazing! I'll have to come a few more times to really test the waters. Great local bar if you live in Lower Queen Anne. The staff was also friendly and attentive. I will be back and I'll bring a friend! read more

Great bar! Awesome bartenders and great food to boot! Used to be my favorite neighborhood bar before I moved from Lower Queen Anne. Val, Michael and all the bartenders are superb. read more

SOLO is fantastic. The best atmosphere and the best staff. My friends and I had a fab few nights with them. We are so glad we found this place. Solo's food is amazing; they use local, organic and sustainable ingredients. Definitely, not your typical greasy-spoon bar food. The drinks are reasonably priced and spot on. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Nice! Great music, friendly and helpful service. I was able to sit on the couch and read a book during the early part of the evening, then I came back later with my husband and sister for more food and drinks. It was more crowded of course but not annoyingly so, although we probably left around 10pm, so I'm not sure how crowded it gets later or on weekends. read more

Stepped into this place on our way to a show. Good drinks and the atmosphere was very mellow. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. We'd stop in again. read more

Extremely good Sangria can be found at 'Solo'. This is a good spot to take a date for an early night drink prior to going out to dinner.

I thoroughly enjoy this place. The interior is airy, open, and perfect for a nice spring day in Seattle (I haven't been at night.) The scallops managed to impress my friend who is be the biggest food critic I know. The bartender was friendly and saved us from ourselves when we wanted to order the bone marrow ($10) He asked if we were going to catch a show in a bit, and we were, in fact, going to catch a show at the SIFF in thirty. Turns out the marrow takes 20 minutes to cook. Late arrival to the movie averted. That, my friends, is a good bartender, and we will most definitely be back. read more

Great atmosphere - we had to rush in and out as we were heading to a play. Next time, we'll bring friends and spend the evening

This is one of the best bars in the city - amazing food, the staff is incredible, AND there is always amazing art to enjoy. LOVE SOLO!

To be completely honest, there isn't a single thing on the menu that I haven't enjoyed. Staff is polite, relaxed, and genuinely look like they are enjoying themselves. 10/10 would go again. read more

Great happy hour prices and laid back artistic crowd. Food and service can be a bit slow but friendly. The food has always been good and interesting (including the desserts!). read more

I don't get to this neighborhood often and was killing some time a few weeks back. Solo looked interesting and I ended up liking it quite a bit. The service was top notch and I liked the vibe there. Nice little bar/hangout. read more

Stumbled across this place, and what a great find! There's a good amount of seating space. There are couches, tables, and the bar. The bartender was friendly and made decent drinks. I'd say the average price of a cocktail is $7 but there are some specials if I recall correctly. What I really liked was the subdued lighting because you can still see your drink. When I was here it was pretty loud so it's probably not the best place for quiet conversations. read more

Solo has been an intregal part of my Lower Queen Anne experience for years. The food is seasonal, fresh, and delicious. The service is friendly, and super fast. I always make a point to stop by when I'm in the neighborhood, and I highly recommend you do the same! read more

So much to love about this place. One of the few spots where you can end up chatting with strangers (so not Seattle haha). The cobb salad is glorious. And their politics are on point too. read more

Woohoo! As good as it gets! Had the best times here. Great food and service. read more

I went here for my buddies b day and had a good time....hobbled in (due to my hurt leg) and found we had a spot on the sofa....SWEET!!!! kicked my leg up had about 5 drinks and 4 shots felt no pain on the walk back to the car and had a good time.....the bill was steep but i think we made that happen not them...I like it....maybe you will too! read more

Serves $4 Peronis and has wi-fi, and the staff's very friendly. Nice couches. Lots of space.

I like this bar. It's in a relatively quiet area. It's a great place to just lounge around with friends and have a drink or two. And they make strong cocktails (at least my friend's was strong). The prices aren't too bad, either! 5 bucks for a beer? Yes, please! read more

Eh. Really mediocre....everything. Kind of blah...no energy.

Worst cosmo and old fashion every! Sat April 16th bartender had to ask other employee lots of questions. Management, if u are charging full price then hire real bartenders. read more

I like this place. Good drinks and a reall chillax sort of environment. It really feels like you are in someone's basement having drinks at their make-shift bar. The crowd was really nice and friendly bartenders. It also wasn't too crowded so no long waits for drinks and the bartenders deliver to your table. This is a true gem in the LQA. Try the Secretarat - very tasty. read more

Great atmosphere along with excellent bar service. Very comfortable lounging in the couches or many chairs. Happy hour all night Mondays which is a great incentive to go every week. read more

Quiet little bar in Seattle. Enjoyed local beers and a great happy hour Sangria.

A nice place to sprawl on a couch and bend your elbow after a play. Music nice and not loud.
