Solstice Tavern

Omg. If you eat one thing at Solstice, eat their tater tots and their lunar wings...ok maybe two. But man, just the idea makes my mouth water. I've been coming to Soltice regularly for about two years now and I always find myself ordering tge same thing. The waitressing can occasionally be a little slow, but at least they're cool people who tell good stories. Plus the music there is great.

Great place in Noda. I recently went to a friend's get together and we eventually ended up here. Large outdoor space with lots of tables. The bartender served the liquor generously and the environment was casual yet young and fun without making me feel like I was the oldest one there, which I probably was. Great place for summer drinks with good company.

I'd heard many good things about this bar so I decided to check it out. The staff is decent, nothing great about them, but nothing bad either. It's the patrons who make this place unpleasant. I would give 1-star for the atmosphere and 3 for the service because the bartender was chill. Solstice is your average little dive bar. The reason I am giving such a low rating is because my date and I were harassed by two older patrons. We are young- 21 and 22, but are both young professionals and mature for our ages. But still, I guess the babyface still showed. First, a pretentious 30-something year old greaseball artist-type came up to us and said "I'm much older but blah blah blah," then proceeded to tell me I look 12. When my date kindly asked him to leave us alone, he took offense and started whining to us about how WE offended him. The last straw was when a similarly pretentious lady around the same age came up to us and insulted my date. The bartender turned a blind eye (but I didn't expect him to do anything.) We then left and ended up at NoDa Brewing Company down the street and had a positive experience there.

Just heed caution if you're not a regular. The yuppies will eat you alive.
