When you age out of the college coed set at Madam's Organ, you'll feel right at home at Solly's, with its rickety floors, cheap beer, and over-it bartenders.
Troy Fernando MitchellSeptember 26, 2013I had a great time here on my birthday is September the 25th 4 custom karaoke there is even a website for the karaoke music a lot of music so there are no excuses LOL.. Bit.ly/12TiTDf
Katie RunyanFebruary 16, 2017Always love the vibe here. Great neighborhood spot to hang and have a drink. Also some cool events upstairs--kareoke on Weds and standup Tues nights!
Great karaoke and trivia nights, salty bartenders who’s love you earn, a wonderful place to have your own glass of whiskey.
Serious EatsOctober 1, 2013Loyal to Ohio State and the Miami Dolphins, game nights at this divey sports bar are a cacophony of shouted commentary, cheers, and jeers.
Easy Figure InternationalSeptember 26, 2013Bring a pair of earplugs, dance and have fun! Sign in early to sing. Karaoke list here: http://quinnell.us/wiki/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Karaoke

DaveOctober 27, 2015Unassuming decor, but the kitchen produces some fan good bar food. If unsure what to get, go for the bacon grilled cheese
Tara TownsendJuly 6, 2011Come in for happy hour, drink cheap beer (yum, Eliot Ness) and order food. Yes - you can order take-out or have food delivered to the bar. Enjoy some Chix at Solly's? Don't mind if I do.
Washington BladeJuly 21, 2011Come see Eric Himan, Sunday 7pm on his way to the SiriusXM to record some of his tracks live. Himan has been featured in The Advocate’s 40 under 40, Out Magazine’s Out 100 & LOGO #1 Click List Artist.
NightSceneNovember 24, 2010This little dive bar has a great atmosphere, usually a younger crowd, and is a great place for a neighborhood drink or chat any day of the week. Come weekends and you might be fighting for the bar
See Sam!!!! She will rock your world!! Best Kick Ass bartender!!! Don't mess with her She'll get you happy and kick your Ass!!!
Chris HigginbothamDecember 1, 2016Great place if you want a good crowd, solid atmosphere, and a jukebox.
Tien NguyenMarch 17, 2013They do have food now. Hot dogs and nachos and chili, that kind of stuff. Shannon is a great bartender!
Jessica LippmanFebruary 17, 2013Best bartenders ever. Also, Porkchop. Those are the only reasons to come here. Mostly for Porkchop the bulldog
Sree BhandaramSeptember 7, 2014I love Solly's to death, but the bartender in the back room tonight...she just didn't cut it. Really rude and I had abad experience!
Rob PitingoloNovember 3, 2010If you're from Ohio, you'll feel at home at this chill bar. Drink a delicious bottle of Great Lakes once you've warmed up on a few $3 PBRs.
There's no food, so get something across the street at Chix or Greek Spot, they rule
It's laid back and and great for a drink in the middle of the week. Sometimes shows upstairs and karaoke too!
Shannon is awesome behind the bar. Awesome all the time, really. But even more behind the bar.
Christin VerkaikJune 12, 2011Keep an eye on pat r. He tends to pee on buildings, in corners, etc. He is german. He can't help it.
- Justine AdelizziOctober 24, 2009Show up on the second or fourth Wednesday of the month for Kostume Karaoke on the second floor - best karaoke night in DC!
Excellent place to grab a couple drinks before seeing a show at 9:30. $3 Miller Lite during happy hour.
The most chill place in DC. If we had a bar named 'Cheers' like the TV show - this would be it!
KathleenApril 6, 2013Double check your tab before cashing out. I definitely got charged $18 for a drink he told me would be $11. Unfortunately I wasn't in a frame of mind to argue it when I left...
