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.
