The Concept
A New Social Option, Now Landing in Lawrenceville
Nightlife is evolving. More people are drinking less, choosing clarity, or simply wanting a different kind of space to gather.
Solace brings a modern alcohol-free lounge concept to Pittsburgh, filling the gap between coffee shops, bars, and wellness spaces.

The Experience
Designed for Real Life
Day to Night, Seamlessly
A focused café by day, a social lounge by night - without the chaos of bars or the burnout of coffee shops.
Designed for Connection
Low-sensory lighting, intentional sound, and seating that invites conversation - not shouting over it.
Leave Better Than You Arrived
No hangovers, no crash, no next-day regret. Just good energy, clear heads, and nights that don’t cost you tomorrow.
The Botanicals
Plants With a Purpose. Crafted Around Feeling.
Kava, speciosa, kanna, and functional botanicals have been used around the world for centuries.
We serve them with modern standards: clear education, measured portions, and a menu designed around how you want to feel, not how hard you want to escape.
Botanical ingredients are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. For adults 18+.
Kava
South Pacific root known for easing tension and creating a relaxed, social lift.
Speciosa
Southeast Asian leaf that connects, calms, energizes, or focuses depending on the strain
Kanna
South African plant associated with mood elevation and emotional openness.
Adaptogens
Organic brews infused with roots and fungi for focus, calm, and immune support
The Perspectives
Why sobriety makes people uncomfortable, and why that’s backwards. Say no to a drink and watch what happens. Not outrage. Not judgment. Just questions...
