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 Approach
Plants With a Purpose. Crafted Around Feeling.
Solace is built around what makes going out worth it: a great drink, a little ritual, good company, and something new to discover.
Built with tea, fruit, spice, botanicals, and real bar technique. No alcohol required.
Botanical ingredients are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. For adults 18+.
Taste
Complex drinks first. Botanicals second. Nothing gets a pass just because it’s functional.
Ritual
The glass, the pour, the presentation, the second round. The parts worth keeping.
Company
For dates, catch-ups, solo stops, shared tables, and nights that accidentally run late.
Curiosity
Some ingredients you’ll know. Some you won’t. You don’t need a botany degree to order a drink.
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...
