Awesome club, dealing with Maylik is a breeze, I highly recommend this place! Great night at the Sol Venue! 0

Gerald G.

I'm glad I was able to find this venue at such a convenient location with a great deal. Their package consisted of many things for such a great price. They allowed me to have full creative control from the table layout, the uplighting color, and the cocktail menu. They were easy to talk to, the Shelby venue was spacious, and I had an incredible time celebrating my 21st birthday. I was just curious if I wanted a venue party. During the first meeting, we had a tour and Layton was very informative and helpful. I didn't secure a downpayment yet but I had an idea on the date. A few days later, he told me that someone else was interested in the date, and I didn't want it to get taken so we secured it the next week. I'm glad he knew about my interest and decided to tell me about it. Leading up to the event, our only main form of communications was e-mail and through text with their company's line. Monday evenings were the only times to walk-in and check out the venue for anything/questions. I work every Monday evening so I couldn't make it to any of the walk-in days so I had a friend come there on my behalf to take pictures, submit the rest of the deposit, test out the projection for the birthday signage, and ask any questions/concerns. I think that was my only issue is the availability for me to come in prior to my event. Other than that, there's only one public bathroom for my ~150 guests, but they still enjoyed the night. The bartenders were very sociable with my guests and was quick with their work. I was more captivated by the venue space and the package. The venue had that "upscale nightclub" theme and vibe I was looking for and it wasn't somewhere with heavy traffic like DTLA. It was in the heart of my hometown in Carson and I was able to have my hometown friends, family, and college friends from Orange County to come by. I got the package for the Shelby venue which fits my budget. The team was easy going, they were able to accommodate my ideas with having custom-made cocktails for my event, and the documents with all the FAQs was super helpful. I would definitely recommend this space if you're considering having a venue party that can have a classy, eloquent feel or a trendy nightclub atmosphere.

Came here last friday for the Yelp CMYE and here it is.... -YES YES YES the venue looks nice and yea it's nice for being in Carson, but are clubs not supposed to look nice on the inside? If you saw this club in Hollywood you would not think it anything spectacular....in fact you would probably call it a lounge and not a nightclub. -DRESS CODE is supposed to be upscale/trendy but there was a girl in there with flip flops?? Also later in the evening there some unsavory charactors dressed in ridiculously baggy clothing that were let in.... -The place was virtually empty aside from the yelpers who stuck around and a fairly rowdy bachelorrette (bday?) party. Clearly some work needs to be done on their promoting to get a good crowd in there. I have faith that will happen as a number of people I spoke to after said they recieved a flyer but weren't sure if it was worth going. -The DJ.....there were two of them and nether played a song for longer then 30 seconds (and 30 seconds was if we got lucky). -The table server girls and bartenders were SPECTACULAR and really made my night! I wish I could remember the name of our specific server because she was just awesome. I also heard the servers were randomly giving folks free shots which I think is pretty cool. -I cannot believe THEY CHARGE A COVER! Seriously if I paid a cover for this place I would probably shed a tear. -oh and THERE IS A SIGN EVERYONE!! However, it was definitely not lit up when we first arrived. All that said I would probably still give this place another chance if they had someone I KNEW was a good Dj (i.e. when they had Dj Feli fell their opening weekend). It is atleast a place where if you brought a great group of friends you could still have a good time. I think this place has a lot of potential just hasn't reached it yet.

I just had my 50th birthday party at the SOL Venue and I had an excellent experience with the team there. I reserved early because the weekend of my party is quite popular and I was so happy to be able to get this venue on my actual birthday. I have to say they handle their business pretty well, from the contract process, payments, and they have documentation to answer almost all of your questions. When I did have questions the staff was easy to reach and very responsive. The team is also very accommodating. The night of my event everything went so well, people loved the venue, and they especially loved the bartender's. It's the perfect spot for a party, and they have a good air conditioning system. If you're looking for a venue to throw a nice party in a club like atmosphere this is an excellent venue.

My party was booked at the Shelby, but still within the same company I can not really sum up in words how thankful I am for this venue! First and foremost, thank you so much, Mr.Layton, for all your help and work in making sure my husband enjoyed his 35th birthday! Your team was so amazing and made certain things ran smoothly for the night! Thank you so much, Malik, for all your help as well. If you're looking for an excellent venue, work, plentiful parking, great space, and staff, look no further! The Shelby is the place to be and book! Thanks again, and I can't wait to book my next party!

Cool decor they have at the bar!

Came here to celebrate the life of my friend's mom who passed away a few months ago. I thought this place was a great venue to have it at. The place was clean and the people who worked there seemed to be helpful getting everything setup.

I actually rented "The Shelby Venue" this past weekend unexpectedly due to weather and i came across the venue on Peerspace and instantly fell in love and knew this where I need to have my niece party and I was so nervous about making everything fit and Tyler reassured me it will and she was so helpful the owner came in he was very polite and all my guest was impressed on how good the event turned out they was interested on booking this space and my niece party was exactly what we envision can't wait to the next event and thanks again Mr. Draper and Miss Tyler on providing excellent ser

Super intimate setting for acoustic set! It was my friend Grecia's first set and it was amazing! Really nice bar, they even had nachos and bomb quesadilla's! Highly recommend coming here to destress after a long week! We came here on a Thursday night after a few meetings and school in Long Beach.. so nice to chill and listen to some good roots music! SOL needs to be put out there more in the scene of venues.

Happy Birthday Tray!

Is this venues not opened to the public anymore ? I went once years ago and wanted to visit it in the next couple of weeks but it says on here BY RESERVATION ONLY. Is this not a nightclub anymore?

We are only open for private events, this is correct :D! Birthdays, receptions, fundraisers, any event worth celebrating :D.

18 and over right?

We are available for private events only, and SOL Venue is 21+ :D.

The indoor and outdoor seating areas are very spacious, which is a plus for me. Even though it was moderately busy the night we went, the outdoor area still felt spacious enough to offer an intimate vibe while we enjoyed our drinks. The service was nice; the staff were attentive and friendly. You pay at the counter for your drinks and take them back to your seat, just like at a standard bar. I'm not sure if I should be relieved that I didn't order any food that day after reading some reviews. I've seen some people complain about sanitary measures and the temperature/quality of the food here. Hmm... next time I stop by, I'll probably just grab drinks and then head over to In-N-Out lol. On another note, the drinks were good! I forgot which IPA I had, but it was nice. My boyfriend went for his usual michelada, which he enjoyed. Overall, SoCal Vibes is a laid-back, industrial-style brewery that offers a spacious, dog-friendly outdoor seating area. For that reason alone, I'll probably be back soon. I'd recommend this spot to anyone in the area looking for a chill place to grab drinks. Cheers!

Avoid and watch your drinks…read more On Wednesday 4/29/2026 I went to Slip for my fist time to grab a bite to eat. I ordered a 22oz beer and a chicken sandwich. The chicken was all cut up not a whole chicken breast which I should have seen as a red flag. But I tried to enjoy it, thinking positive and enjoy my night. I finished the beer and ordered a small beer but I started feeling really dizzy during this time. And not from drinking. If you've ever been roofied you know this exact feeling. Things are moving slower. You're spinning. You don't have full control. And you could pass out at any second. Thankfully I got home but it continued in a shower I took to try and wake up, but that didn't work. On my sofa I passed out. And woke up the next day still not feeling good. Still needing to lay down and needing more sleep. Another night passed where I slept early. Like I was knocked out. And today, Friday I finally felt like it was all out of my system. And this all happened because I went to Slip. This is not a fluke. It was not an accident. It happened to me and it can happen to you too. It can happen anywhere maybe, or maybe not. But what's for sure is it happened to me there. If you're with Slip and you're reading this, do not try and make me an offer to return. I won't. Ever.
