The Scene – While this Irish pub doesn't sport a lived-in feel, it certainly lives up to its name--"solas" means "comfort" in Gaelic (a fact prominently painted on a back wall). The street level bar attracts a fine after-work crowd, while the upstairs dining room offers a quiet, smoke-free place to catch up with friends. When crowded, the bar can be prohibitively noisy. – – The Draw – The bar's selection of beers and spirits is nothing special, but the impressive food menu, influenced by Azure chef Robert Fathman, offers up several tasty bar snacks (mac-and-cheese with…

Delicious apps and good beer

by zissoutfloppenkee

I live right around the corner and just wanted to step out for a beer and a snack. Little did I know that I'd get one of the tastiest appetizers I've ever had in my life. It was cheese-based with bacon in it and unfortunately was a special for that day and not on their normal menu. That said, I've seen it there on other days though I can't remember the kind of cheese. It's very typical of some of the pubs I frequented back in London and had the perfect feel for a late-afternoon pint. Three of us got an array of appetizers and none of them disappointed. But if you see some gouda and bacon appetizer you better get it b/c you won't be sorry.

  • Pros: Delicious food, good beer selection, genuine-feeling atmosphere
  • Cons: Difficult to secure a table for eating during happy hour

great atmosphere, good food, better beer!

by jdliveshere

I love the atmosphere here. It is lively, but not too loud. The waitstaff is great. The beer selection was more that satisfying, and the food is good as well. My only complaint would be that one time I went for lunch and got a ceaser salad, and it was pretty bad as far as salads go, but I guess I probably should have ordered one of there other tasty entrees that I know would have been better than good.

  • Pros: atmosphere, beer/ drink selection, friendly waitstaff, good food.
  • Cons: bad caesar salad

Great meeting spot

by tiglesia

This is one of those good spots for meeting friends for a drink before heading out somewhere. Nice place for a quick nightcap if you are staying at the Lenox since it's right inside the hotel. Good service. Not a huge selection, but good prices, nice after work vibe.

The Details on Solas

Parking:

If you're lucky enough to snag a meter on Boylston St., you may find yourself leaving your pint unattended, as meter maids patrol the street until 8pm (except on Sundays). On busy nights it's wiser to take the Green Line to the nearby Copley stop.
