| - My brother loves this place for NFL games, so he took me here one weekday afternoon to get a bite to eat. Located in NoDa, this place fits right in with the taste & feel of a NoDa bar.
We were there in the middle of the day, in the middle of the week, so there weren't many people here. We had probably just missed the lunch crowd so we grabbed a seat at the bar. It was a nice, dark little place, hence the tavern name, but it still gave off a friendly, welcoming vibe. The bartender was nice & friendly, but it probably helps that he knew my brother. I could see this place being a nice hangout to watch a game or to cozy up to the bar & relax one evening.
I wasn't expecting much from the menu, but when I took a look at it, I was really surprised. They have quite a selection, from burgers to wraps to sandwiches. Yeah yeah, most places have these options, but they had some unique choices mingled in. I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap & while I think it's tough to screw it up, it was really pretty good. Better than the bar food I thought I was going to get. Apparently this place has really good burgers as well but I'll have to head back for one of those.
I can see Solstice Tavern being a jumping atmosphere during the late hours, so I can't judge the lack of people there on my limited experience. But I will say the food was much better than I expected & I could see myself hanging out here for a relaxing night during the week, watching a game.
