The Concept

A Different Night Out, Now Landing in Lawrenceville

Nightlife is changing. More people are drinking less, staying clear, or simply looking for somewhere different to spend the night.

 

Solace brings a modern alcohol-free bar and lounge to Pittsburgh, filling the space between coffee shops, traditional bars, and wellness spaces.

The Experience

Designed for Real Life

Built for Day to Night

A place to focus by day, a social lounge by night. Without the chaos of a bar or the burnout of another coffee shop.

Designed for Connection

Low lighting, intentional sound, and seating built for conversation. Not shouting across the table.

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 Approach

Plants With a Purpose.
Drinks You Can Feel.

Most mocktails stop at sugar, juice, and flavor. We had something else in mind.

​

We pair real bar technique with botanicals like traditionally prepared kava, kanna, and other plants chosen for what they bring to the experience. From a brighter start to a laid-back evening, there’s more than one way to feel a night out.

​

Botanical ingredients are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. For adults 18+.

Curious

Try something you won't find behind a traditional bar.

Alcohol is the Only Drug You’re Expected to Justify Not Using, Why sobriety makes people uncomfortable

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...
