Description

Part Pac Heights crew and part Fillmore folks, Solstice brings in a chill mix of thirty-somethings looking for an intimate spot to unwind. The ambiance gives off a laid-back Southeast Asian vibe, with leaf-shaped wooden fans, amber lighting, Buddha decor, and palm plants. In a parlor partitioned off from the main room, a stained glass sign misleadingly says "Smoke Room." (Nope, can't smoke here.) Keeping with that mellow mix of the Fillmore and Pac Heights, Solstice uses the lounge to host free live jazz on Wednesdays. Drinks are moderately priced, so you won't feel put out picking up the tab: eight bucks can fetch you the Sol Provider, a ginger, cucumber, gin, and vodka cocktail, but the El Diablo, a tequila, crème de cassis, ginger, and beer medley, will also do you solid.
