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.
