There are certain bars
out there that are only fun when you're the one who brings the crowd.
Solas is that kind of place. A bi-level lounge, Solas is a little
too big to have much of a personality of its own. Sure the low-lighting
and the separate rooms with different colored bulbs give the effect
of two places in one, but the up-down, front-back setup also keeps
it from having any sort of cohesive feel. Add in the fact that there
are often rude, private party guests upstairs, and you get yet more
confusion--unless, of course, you're the rude party upstairs. The
back of the upstairs section is available to rent out, but the problem
is that the back section and the front section aren't really all that
separate. So you inevitably get some asshole blonde girl yelling at
you because she thinks you're going to order drinks on her party's
tab. Who the hell would do something like that? Well, I would after
being yelled at like I'm a two-year-old. Thanks, Sally Jerkface for
the Ketel One and soda and the round of Jack and Gingers for my buddies--you
rock! [MF] |
