About Solas Bar
Solas Bar is a pub that reliably turns into a social-dance spot midweek: a small dance area on the ground floor and a larger upstairs lounge that hosts most of the dancing. The weekly schedule runs Zouk on Tuesday, Salsa on Wednesday and Bachata on Thursday; Friday–Saturday become DJ dance nights.
The shift from bar to dance floor usually happens after 23:00 when the DJ takes over and the upstairs fills. The site lists three spaces — Red Room (30–50), Lounge (75–100) and Upstairs (125) — so if you want space, arrive earlier in the night. It's on E 9th Street in the East Village, so expect a neighbourhood, locals-leaning crowd rather than a tourist class scene; no warm-up class is advertised.
Cover is commonly around $15 on dance nights and the bar stays the focal point, so drinks and dancing happen side-by-side. If you come alone, expect a mix of singles and groups and a casual, bar-first approach to social dancing.
