    Awesome club, dealing with Maylik is a breeze, I highly recommend this place! Great night at the Sol Venue! 0

    I'm glad I was able to find this venue at such a convenient location with a great deal. Their package consisted of many things for such a great price. They allowed me to have full creative control from the table layout, the uplighting color, and the cocktail menu. They were easy to talk to, the Shelby venue was spacious, and I had an incredible time celebrating my 21st birthday. I was just curious if I wanted a venue party. During the first meeting, we had a tour and Layton was very informative and helpful. I didn't secure a downpayment yet but I had an idea on the date. A few days later, he told me that someone else was interested in the date, and I didn't want it to get taken so we secured it the next week. I'm glad he knew about my interest and decided to tell me about it. Leading up to the event, our only main form of communications was e-mail and through text with their company's line. Monday evenings were the only times to walk-in and check out the venue for anything/questions. I work every Monday evening so I couldn't make it to any of the walk-in days so I had a friend come there on my behalf to take pictures, submit the rest of the deposit, test out the projection for the birthday signage, and ask any questions/concerns. I think that was my only issue is the availability for me to come in prior to my event. Other than that, there's only one public bathroom for my ~150 guests, but they still enjoyed the night. The bartenders were very sociable with my guests and was quick with their work. I was more captivated by the venue space and the package. The venue had that "upscale nightclub" theme and vibe I was looking for and it wasn't somewhere with heavy traffic like DTLA. It was in the heart of my hometown in Carson and I was able to have my hometown friends, family, and college friends from Orange County to come by. I got the package for the Shelby venue which fits my budget. The team was easy going, they were able to accommodate my ideas with having custom-made cocktails for my event, and the documents with all the FAQs was super helpful. I would definitely recommend this space if you're considering having a venue party that can have a classy, eloquent feel or a trendy nightclub atmosphere.

    Came here last friday for the Yelp CMYE and here it is.... -YES YES YES the venue looks nice and yea it's nice for being in Carson, but are clubs not supposed to look nice on the inside? If you saw this club in Hollywood you would not think it anything spectacular....in fact you would probably call it a lounge and not a nightclub. -DRESS CODE is supposed to be upscale/trendy but there was a girl in there with flip flops?? Also later in the evening there some unsavory charactors dressed in ridiculously baggy clothing that were let in.... -The place was virtually empty aside from the yelpers who stuck around and a fairly rowdy bachelorrette (bday?) party. Clearly some work needs to be done on their promoting to get a good crowd in there. I have faith that will happen as a number of people I spoke to after said they recieved a flyer but weren't sure if it was worth going. -The DJ.....there were two of them and nether played a song for longer then 30 seconds (and 30 seconds was if we got lucky). -The table server girls and bartenders were SPECTACULAR and really made my night! I wish I could remember the name of our specific server because she was just awesome. I also heard the servers were randomly giving folks free shots which I think is pretty cool. -I cannot believe THEY CHARGE A COVER! Seriously if I paid a cover for this place I would probably shed a tear. -oh and THERE IS A SIGN EVERYONE!! However, it was definitely not lit up when we first arrived. All that said I would probably still give this place another chance if they had someone I KNEW was a good Dj (i.e. when they had Dj Feli fell their opening weekend). It is atleast a place where if you brought a great group of friends you could still have a good time. I think this place has a lot of potential just hasn't reached it yet.

    I just had my 50th birthday party at the SOL Venue and I had an excellent experience with the team there. I reserved early because the weekend of my party is quite popular and I was so happy to be able to get this venue on my actual birthday. I have to say they handle their business pretty well, from the contract process, payments, and they have documentation to answer almost all of your questions. When I did have questions the staff was easy to reach and very responsive. The team is also very accommodating. The night of my event everything went so well, people loved the venue, and they especially loved the bartender's. It's the perfect spot for a party, and they have a good air conditioning system. If you're looking for a venue to throw a nice party in a club like atmosphere this is an excellent venue.

    My party was booked at the Shelby, but still within the same company I can not really sum up in words how thankful I am for this venue! First and foremost, thank you so much, Mr.Layton, for all your help and work in making sure my husband enjoyed his 35th birthday! Your team was so amazing and made certain things ran smoothly for the night! Thank you so much, Malik, for all your help as well. If you're looking for an excellent venue, work, plentiful parking, great space, and staff, look no further! The Shelby is the place to be and book! Thanks again, and I can't wait to book my next party!

    Cool decor they have at the bar!

    Came here to celebrate the life of my friend's mom who passed away a few months ago. I thought this place was a great venue to have it at. The place was clean and the people who worked there seemed to be helpful getting everything setup.

    I actually rented "The Shelby Venue" this past weekend unexpectedly due to weather and i came across the venue on Peerspace and instantly fell in love and knew this where I need to have my niece party and I was so nervous about making everything fit and Tyler reassured me it will and she was so helpful the owner came in he was very polite and all my guest was impressed on how good the event turned out they was interested on booking this space and my niece party was exactly what we envision can't wait to the next event and thanks again Mr. Draper and Miss Tyler on providing excellent ser

    Super intimate setting for acoustic set! It was my friend Grecia's first set and it was amazing! Really nice bar, they even had nachos and bomb quesadilla's! Highly recommend coming here to destress after a long week! We came here on a Thursday night after a few meetings and school in Long Beach.. so nice to chill and listen to some good roots music! SOL needs to be put out there more in the scene of venues.

    Happy Birthday Tray!

    Is this venues not opened to the public anymore ? I went once years ago and wanted to visit it in the next couple of weeks but it says on here BY RESERVATION ONLY. Is this not a nightclub anymore?

    We are only open for private events, this is correct :D! Birthdays, receptions, fundraisers, any event worth celebrating :D.

    18 and over right?

    We are available for private events only, and SOL Venue is 21+ :D.

The space has a great layout. There are two large high top booths in the back that are perfect for groups of 8 to 10 people. The bathroom I used was gender neutral, and there is a convenient parking lot right in front. They do not serve food here, so some folks bring their own. We will definitely bring a meal with us next time! To top it all off, the service was very friendly. They were so patient explaining the whole menu to our large group.

The indoor and outdoor seating areas are very spacious, which is a plus for me. Even though it was moderately busy the night we went, the outdoor area still felt spacious enough to offer an intimate vibe while we enjoyed our drinks. The service was nice; the staff were attentive and friendly. You pay at the counter for your drinks and take them back to your seat, just like at a standard bar. I'm not sure if I should be relieved that I didn't order any food that day after reading some reviews. I've seen some people complain about sanitary measures and the temperature/quality of the food here. Hmm... next time I stop by, I'll probably just grab drinks and then head over to In-N-Out lol. On another note, the drinks were good! I forgot which IPA I had, but it was nice. My boyfriend went for his usual michelada, which he enjoyed. Overall, SoCal Vibes is a laid-back, industrial-style brewery that offers a spacious, dog-friendly outdoor seating area. For that reason alone, I'll probably be back soon. I'd recommend this spot to anyone in the area looking for a chill place to grab drinks. Cheers!

We were thrilled to see a few menu options that were marked as vegan. Bonus points for being affordable! I completely missed their attached parking lot when I arrived and ended up parking across the street in the neighborhood, where there was ample free parking. When we arrived, the restaurant was about half full and there was live music occurring on the patio. We opted to sit inside where it was a little less noisy and there was a comfy and cozy booth calling our name. The vibe was great, with fun and eclectic decor. The service was really upbeat and friendly and our server was so kind and helpful. We asked him if the espresso martini had dairy in it (which I just discovered that is a thing at some places) and he double checked with the bartender to ensure there wasn't my dairy in it! I ordered that alongside a falafel wrap I must say, both of these worked so well together. The espresso martini was light and refreshing yet still had a bold flavor. The falafel was nice and crispy with a delectable inside and the tahini sauce was so rich and creamy. The meal felt indulgent yet hearty all at the same time. I left feeling so uplifted and relaxed all at the same time. Despite it being on the noisier side, I was still able to hear my friend well and it was such a great place for us to catch up.

Maybe you get more if they put them directly on the sandwich, but they forgot mine so the pickles came in a ramekin. 6 pickle slices for $1.
