He Said: this review is not about the beer, because we don't review beers at breweries/brewpubs. We know too many in the industry and know how hard it is. The location right up against the Anacostia and across the road from Nats Park is really great. It's a breezy spot, with huge opened walls, which must be great when it's hot, but was dang chilly this evening. We ate just the pretzel and enjoyed the quality mustard and the very good beer cheese. The pretzel itself leaned a bit oily, but we scarfed it down and enjoyed it. Service was pretty good with friendly and helpful bartenders. With Champions League on the TV our seats at the bar were perfect. She Said: I think He summed it up perfectly! Potty Points: 4/5 plenty of stalls, clean enough especially considering the traffic, but I would have liked some paper towels since we came in from a downpour and I was drenched and needed to towel off a little bit. read more

Service was terrible. Bartender had a major attitude. Server looks like he'd rather be anywhere else but there. They were out of the first two beer types that I ordered. I thought their beer at my local Safeway and I like their beer but definitely would not go back to this place. read more

Great place to watch sports in Navy Yard. Last time I was there with a group of friends to watch the Washington Spirit in the playoffs. The place was at full capacity but it was still easy to order since they have QR menus coupled with digital ordering from your phone. Also easy to get around the restaurant despite it being at capacity. They keep a sports sized igloo filled with water for a serve yourself experience. Plenty of screens and even projected on a large wall so you don't miss the action from any seat. Full service and size bar, not to mention some great bar foods; their loaded taters are a hit but the plain taters were not good. Giant pretzel is a must order. read more

Extra fees are a blight on DC. Auto tip, ok but make it easier to adjust. 3% credit card fee tucked away in there. And on and on

Such a big fan of this place! I've honestly never sat inside because we always bring our dog and sit on the patio. It's a huge space, inside and out. You order with a QR code at every table/space. You check out with each order rather than running up a tab and accidentally forgetting to close out then getting charged for not closing out. It bothers some people but I think it's fine and easy. I love their food selection almost as much as their drink and beer selection. My favorite go to bites are the chicken thighs, wings, and corn dog bites. They have a lot of other great things but I love these so much and all the dip choices, from regulars like ketchup, mustard and ranch, to a sweet and spicy dip, citrus ranch, and bbq. My go to beers are Party Cloudy and Lucy Juicy, always delicious! It's a really nice spot along the river and great atmosphere. read more

We had ridden our bikes past Solace and that it looked fun so we decided to return on another day to give it a try. We're glad we did! Here's what we liked: - It wasn't a Nationals game day and the Spring weather was perfect, so it was a great place to hang out and enjoy the view! - They have several of their own beers, as well as a lot of guest taps. Their Hazy IPA was excellent! - We ordered the crispy chicken thighs, which really hit the spot... It came with three sauces which we liked. Bottom line: We were going to check out a different place nearby to have our second beers, but we liked the beer and vibe so much at Solace that we decided to stay there...that says it all, right? read more

Not my usual stomping grounds, but I made my way to Solace Outpost in Navy Yard for a networking Happy Hour. The atmosphere was lively, and the drink selection didn't disappoint -- plenty of craft beers and other creative libations to choose from. I didn't get a chance to try the food myself, but everything coming out of the kitchen for my colleagues looked seriously good. I'll definitely be back to explore the menu. read more

Ate here before going to a soccer game at Audi Field. This little brewery has quite the open and roomy setup, as it was nice to have the option to sit further away from the bar or close to it. The food here is not very good, for the price you pay for it. Had the cripsy chicken thighs, a caesar salad, and the frenchie burger w/ tots. The chicken thighs were overdone, the salad didn't have enough dressing, and the burger was more bread than anything. The tots weren't plentiful for the extra $4, so that was quite the disappointment. I also don't appreciate being forced to order through an app, and then get stuck with a credit card convenience fee. People still have cash, so at least give people the choice. read more

Great vibes. Food is always delicious, though I highly suggest you order from the bartender versus using their online ordering system as it only works about 50% of the time. They have a great selection of beer. There are plenty of tvs for catching a game. Indoor outdoor seating. It can get rather crowded during sports events but I've always found standing room or a table. read more

What a fun place ... in such a great location! Right on the water and adjacent to both Nationals Park and Audi Field. I came with a few friends to watch a match on their TVs and we had a great time. Of course, there were plenty of libations to choose from. But I was getting hungry and decided to order a few things from the menu. And they were all excellent! To start with (and a must for all future visits) was the Classic Crispy Chicken. OMG! The chicken was sooo tender, with the right amount of crispiness on the outside. Amazing! And it went so well with the various dipping sauces they provided. I could not get enough. In fact, I think we ordered several rounds to share. And a few other notables were the Bavarian Pretzel (Super soft! And went well with the mustard or melted cheese they provided) and the Tots (well, I just love tots, and they go well with everything!). Thankfully, I came in the offseason, so parking was easy. Not sure what I would do during peak. I guess I will have to figure that out. read more

We stopped at Solace for a casual beer in Navy Yard. There are picnic tables overlooking the water. It's a nice place to grab a drink, and they have more than just beer! You can order through the QR code on the table, and the service is pretty quick. read more

I'm always a sucker for a good sandwich and tots. Think I had the chicken bacon sandwich with tater tots. Was very tasty. Received my food pretty quickly. Was here for a going away gathering. I'd highly recommend. This place is at the navy yard and has some amazing views. I have no complaints. read more

We stopped by on a cold off-season Sunday afternoon, so we luckily didn't have to deal with any chaotic crowds- which meant easy street parking-only a quick walk-and ample open seating choices despite the chill, we opted to sit outside, as they did have various football games playing on large tvs & the volume was intensely loud (not the best 'chill atmosphere' since we weren't there for the game, but to catch up with friends) Ordering beer was very confusing- very sad because I did rate our beers 5stars untapped- quality haze and piney dank hops- but experience-wise..... I appreciate the bartenders giving me a few samples from their large IPA selection to try before committing, but oof it was hard to commit- after trying the sample, I knew which I wanted as a full pour, but the bartender told us me had to order using the app- the app wasn't as intuitive, as it was also paired with their food menu, so scrolling was a glitchy pain- clicking on beers to read descriptions & select between sizes was frustrating because it would automatically put beers in the cart-then the app added on automatic fees-convivence fees-and tip- so my first round of beer was right beer, wrong size, and auto everything- I went to the bar to try to ask to cancel it & correct it, but I agree with a fellow yelper, "#grumpypants"- he just kept pushing me to the app- I asked about opening a tab so we didn't have to deal with this beer by beer, but again- he kept telling us to order via the app-which glitched- our second round, the 'order' then 'confirm order' kept spooling & spooling- so being unsure if we actually ordered beer or not we sadly had to go ask grumpy bartender who just rang us up two beers- but now, days later, I'm seeing multiple credit card charges lucky the bar manager has been nice about emailing to help correct-refund charges-and asked us to kindly come back for a better experience & round on him- so I'm hoping the second visit goes better- I absolutely would be weary of the app- I can see the positives if we were there on crazy game day crowds, avoiding creating long lines, but the glitches seems to be reoccurring yelp woes read more

We've been here quite a few times! It's definitely a great spot. Love the vibe, drinks and food. And kid-friendly which is always a plus. Good food menu with many options. My husband leans towards the IPAs and I always go their seltzers! In-laws were visiting so we wanted to take them to one of our favorite spots! The pretzel is by far my favorite pretzel and THE best I've had so far! And the we also love the fried chicken thighs! Pair it up with one of their small salads (still a HUGE portion!) and you have a great meal! read more

In searching for dog friendly breweries, this spot came up highly rated. The good: the views, outdoor area, outdoor game area and selection. The bad: pretzel came out rock hard, and took 25 mins but they were busy. Honestly they prob forgot it in the oven but things happen! When they brought out a second one, the queso was ice cold. So the food part was a fail. The bartenders imán and the guy were super nice. The chef who brought the food out was also cool. I think I would be back to try the burgers bc it was the first thing listed on the menu and looking at others plates it was appealing. I had the juice IPA and it was bomb. My partner tried an ale and really like it. They took the pretzel off the bill and told me to give them another try. I will when I'm back in town!! I'm only knocking a star off bc the pretzel we ended up giving to the dog. Oh and there's TVs outside for watching sports, nice touch. read more

Great indoor and outdoor seating super close to Nat's park. Great IPAs as one would expect from Solace. Check out Lucy Juicy (8.5% ABV) Double IPA brewed with El Dorado, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops. Fruity and dank with some resin. They brew a great brown ale and also a stout as well. This location has bar style food. We were impressed with the brats. The stand out being The Bavaria: with sauerkraut, beer braised onions, mustard, and crispy bacon. The curly fries were decent, but could have been crispier. Service was excellent. read more

Delicious food, great beer on tap, and lots of space! The staff were friendly and prompt and didn't complain when my toddler was exploring inside. I love that they have a photo booth! It was hard to decide what to order because several dishes sounded yummy. My brother comes here a lot and shared it was some of the best brewery food and he wasn't wrong. We especially loved the fries- curly, tots, and regular. I really enjoyed the crisp pilsner, and my husband loved all the beer options. The outdoor patio is spacious and has water views. read more

Great brewery, not a single beer is a miss here. The food is higher end bar food with their own twist on classics. Everything is a reasonable price. The bar itself is massive with huge group tables throughout. It's a great place to catch a game or hang with friends. They also offer trivia on Tuesdays. Staff is all super friendly and will answer anything you need to know about their beers. Patio is dog friendly. read more

Great new brewery down by the water near Nats Stadium. The place is all glass windows which with the sun feels amazing even if it's a little bright. It got a little chilly once the sun went down, but the drinks helped with that. Looking forward to going back with some friends. read more

We decided to stop by Solace to get a drink in the AC after a warm walk outside, and we really enjoyed our stop. They have a pretty big indoor space, as well as outdoor seating. I was most excited about the watermelon frose, the taste was delicious and it was refreshing on that hot day. We shared an order of Tot-chos, which were so good. The tots had a good amount of toppings on them and the flavors were good. The one disappointing part was that the tables had QR codes but you had to start your order at the bar. When we went to order at the bar, the two people working seemed not interesting in taking our orders. I would definitely come back to this spot next time I'm in navy yard for another order of tots. read more

Bartender wouldn't change the 48-7 Iowa St vs South Dakota game. I wouldn't have minded if I saw someone passionately cheering for Iowa State but there wasn't a single Cyclone in the place. Didn't get an explanation for why they wouldn't change it but just a simple no with a smug look on his face, abusing the little power he has in life. It's as if my words looped straight through his ear gauges, flowed upon his bald head, and were silenced straight into the river breeze. To add insult to injury, the "sports bar" continued on projecting an hour of unheard talk show hosts. read more

Great night for trivia... Trivia Tuesdays! And the pretzels are great! Nice open environment, sports screen and terrific view of the Potomac Rover. Outdoor seating is available. I ordered the bunless Frenchmen burger.. although the burger meat was tasty and nicely cooked, it was awkward and messy. Customer service at the bar was excellent, staff taking care of the business! read more

First time coming here and it's already 1 of my fav breweries! The have a great beer selection and sizing for how much you want. Not to mention, their hotdogs and tots are super delicious! I was full but wanted to eat more, LOL! I'll definitely be coming again to try out their different foods. It's a dope spot to enjoy the water breeze and/or to view sports games. Heck, even if you just want a delicious hotdog and beer to wash it down with, you can't go wrong with that! read more

We stopped by Solance to beat the heat after a walk over the bridge (which I highly recommend - great breeze!). They have a nice indoor space, with different long table seating options and a long bar against the windows to sit and people watch. The tat-chos, essentially loaded tater tots, were excellent. I particularly appreciated the large portion of avocado! We also had the watermelon froze, it took a while to get the timing (the machines were in "making mode" when we originally ordered) but the flavor was worth the wait! I will say the service was just okay. Two different bartenders were working, and they both seemed... inconvenienced that we were looking to order. There seemed to be QR codes scattered throughout but didn't seem to work at certain times/hours. Also... they didn't fill my frose cup all the way, but someone filled my friends completely LOL. Finally... I couldn't figure out the secret on how to request a water jug, but they do seem to have hydration available if you know how to ask! read more

All the bartenders and bar backs are the best. Tonight my bartender was Raul. Raul is awesome. He's friendly, attentive, detail oriented, and knowledgeable about everything the drinks and food here!!! read more

Great location, nice open air feel with good views. The bar tender was a bit rude. You must order from the app, find a table and QR code to order. He was obviously upset we didn't understand this. Then the app says to order at the bar for kids food, but the bartender says 'just type your order in the app. #grumpypants'. We were confused by this. I didn't like the CC Fee and Auto Tip when checking out in the app. I definitely canceled the auto tip to a $2.00 tip instead of $8.00 for 20%. The food did come out fast. But I wouldn't order the chicken thighs or tach-os again. Beer was fine. The salad and dressing was very good. 1 star location 1 star atmosphere 1 star they're trying on the food - Didn't like the food, too complex... season salt had a crazy flavor - Surly Bartender - Clunky App with extra fees baked in read more

We are regulars here and it hits every time. The beers are so good - 2 legit to wit and Lucy juicy IPA are our go tos. The pretzel is awesome, especially considering it's half the price of the dacha pretzel around the corner. The fried chicken thighs (both regular and spicy) are amazing, and the house-made sauces they come with are sooo good. For $11 these are hard to beat, and they feed two. Get a $6 massive order of curly fries and you're set. Youre not here for the health food, so embrace that. The service is always perfect too, and all the guys are super nice every time. Highly recommend if you're in the navy yard. read more

Came here with my wife last month on a quiet Thursday and it was very busy despite no Nationals or United game. There is a great variety of indoor and outdoor seating, very little which was still available but we got two seats at the outside bar stools facing the ins. The beer is all amazing and we got several half pints. We got a Watermelon Salad and the Expos Poutine Tots the latter which is a great tribute to the former name and location of the Nationals. The food was delicious and the portions were quite large considering the affordable prices we paid. The beer took a while to come out and we kept getting the bartenders attention and we understood they were busy. There was a glitch where they could only find the food and not drinks for our order but the manager made it up and gave us another free half pint. We look forward to returning to trying more of their food and great beer! read more

Attended the soft opening and can't wait to see this spot grow over the upcoming weeks. The environment is inviting with friendly staff and the food and beers are amazing. The Bootlegger was my favorite burger followed by the bratwursts. I got The District and The Bavarian. But you can't go wrong with anyone you try. I'm a fan of Solace's Nashville Hot chicken thighs, give that a try. This place is family friendly with kids menu and many TVs to watch your favorite sports, pregame or come through after a game at the park. Super convenient location with great prices that beat Nats Park food/drink prices. Find your Solace now at Navy Yard! read more

It's great to have another option in the bustling Navy Yard & Capitol Riverfront area. Inside and outside, with the unseasonably warm weather, were packed and it was difficult to find a table. No doubt this will be a hotspot for Nats games. The outside area is great, as there are wonderful views of the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge and Anacostia River. The inside area is well thought out, has plenty of room, and is nice and bright. The beers are A+ and enjoyed a couple of food items, including the tasty District brat half smoke. As for the operations, the mobile pay system is not as user friendly as those at other restaurants and bars. As a plus, the staff is great and exceeded expectations since they recently opened. read more

We (my son and I) made plans here on Wednesday night for the #WashingtonSpirit watch party. It was our first time and let me say, the pretzel DID NOT disappoint! It was fresh-baked and drizzled with Parmesan cheese - definitely a top 3 in the DMV area, but personally, I haven't had one better! We also enjoyed the spicy chicken thighs with BBQ sauce and would recommend it as a top choice. We sampled several beers and I settled on 'Little Bit Cloudy' and the 'Gose' as my two favorites. Will definitely be back as the place was chill, the vibe was cool, and the experience was fantastic! read more

Great casual spot, would be good for a date, to take out of town guests, or to watch a game. Spicy chicken thighs were KICKIN. It was so good we ordered another.

Visited Solace Outpost for the first time on Saturday, June 21st. A buddy of mine and I were out riding our bikes and found this spot to grab a bite to eat. View is great. You can see the river from the outside patio. They have the new scan and order/pay feature so many restaurants are going to. Here is my issue. When you order your drink and food you have to close out the ticket which means you have to pay a tip - upfront. Ordered my food around the same time as my buddy but his food arrived much faster than mine. I waited ten minutes then went inside to inquire about my order. The gentleman told me it was still in process. I mentioned I Had order roughly the same time as my friend and he has had his food for a good ten mins. Didn't phase him in the least. My food arrived about 9 mins later taking a total of 24 mins from order to delivery. Oh and no silverware or salt/pepper provided. Asked to see the manager and the young man who came over was not at all interested in what I was experiencing but to tell me that their establishment does not provide silverware if they feel it's not needed with the order. Some people do like to cut their sandwiches in half still. He did bring a set of silverware and salt/pepper but no apology for how long it took to get my food. Tater tots were good and the chicken sandwich was as well. (Didn't taste like buttermilk as advertised). Not sure I will go again but time will tell. Going back to the tip. I would not have tipped $8 for minimum service and a longer than usual Wait. read more
