This cozy lounge is just off the lobby of The Vinland hotel. They offer a nice cocktail menu with a selection of small plates. We tried the Danish meatballs and the deviled eggs, and can see why they are considered favorites. A huge shout out to Rick, the bartender- he is a true mixologist and also a pleasant conversationalist. He was also offering seasonal cocktails separate from the menu offerings and I went with the peppermint bark martini- so delicious, it's a holiday dessert in a glass. Fortunately, we are guests at the hotel, making it easy to return, because this place is truly a gem. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This a lounge area in the Vinland hotel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were staying there and ordered at the lounge. No complaints.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]They are open late too which is nice because things in solvang close pretty early.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

V Lounge - New American Near Me - Solvang, California

We were staying at the Vinland Hotel while in Solvang and the V Lounge is across the lobby. It was a Thursday night. After reviewing the menu and seeing that there was live music, we decided to drop in for dinner and entertainment. Our server was very friendly. The deviled eggs were delicious. We enjoyed the salmon lox in addition. We also had the spinach salad (the walnuts were outdated). We places the walnuts aside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music was a nice addition to the evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We enjoyed this place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Surprisingly good drinks, food, and service from the lounge of a small boutique hotel. There's a daily drink special, standard and late night happy hour, and snacks. Kid friendly meals too. Rick, who runs the bar, is a super nice guy. Very convenient if you're staying at or near the Vinland. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We stayed in the hotel and the V Lounge was by far THE best part of the entire experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would stay here again just for the V Lounge. Rick's drinks are the bomb. Tested the Danish meatballs and they were excellent. Almost but not quite as good as mom's Swedish meatball recipe. Theirs are hand made in house too! Hubby recommends ordering double gravy!!! Rick's service ROCKS! read more

V Lounge - Keylime martini! - New American Near Me - Solvang, California

We had the most delicious shared plate meal here, along with a nice bottle of Laetitia pinot noir. We couldn't get into other full dining restaurants in the Solvang area so we decided to check out V lounge, the bar/lounge inside of our hotel (Vinland). It was very low key and quiet when we were there, versus everywhere else that was booked up and crowded. The decor is modern and comfortable. All of the plates that we shared were absolutely delicious: deviled eggs topped with bacon, smoked salmon flatbread, spinach salad with feta and walnuts in a light dressing, and Brussel sprouts. The Brussel sprouts were sweet with salty bacon bits, a nice change from a tangy balsamic vinegar version. I definitely recommend V Lounge! read more

We noticed the lounge as we were checking into the hotel. We decided to go explore the town and come back later. When we arrived to the lounge, I was very impressed with the decor and all of the seating areas. My husband and I sat at the bar and were greeted by Jacob. He told us about the offerings on the menu and different drink options. My husband opted for an old-fashioned and I ordered a martini. Both drinks were fabulous. Jacob is a great bartender and conversationalist, which is super hard to find these days. It really seems like he cares about customer service and representing his employer in a positive way! We will definitely be back here when we visit Solvang! Thank you Jacob! read more

The V lounge is a hidden gem for locals in Solvang. It has both early and late happy hours. The cocktails are well prepared, the small bites are both good and reasonable, and the service is great. Rick has always been there when I went. He takes pride in good service and a quality offer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The V Lounge is a great place to meet friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have good music, one a week if I remember but I do not know the schedule.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The place was closed when it was supposed to be open. There were no signs anywhere. I checked with the front desk, they said they were closed due staff shortage. Updating Yelp would be great if you get customers through Yelp. At least put a sign at the front. read more

Rick, the bartender is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! He went above and beyond with the drinks we ordered. We are traveling and found this hidden gem on Yelp. IT'S A MUST! We loved the Danish meatballs as well & will definitely be coming back! OPEN TO THE PUBLIC TOO! It is located inside the VINLAND HOTEL. Check it out & ask for Rick! read more

The V Lounge is inside the Vinland Hotel at the west end of Solvang. We were staying at the hotel and were looking for some drinks and appetizers in a nice comfortable place. The V Lounge was perfect. The service was friendly and attentive. I had a Manhattan Cocktail ($14 + $2 for using Maker's Mark) which was well executed . The Danish Meatballs ($13) were great, with a delicious sauce. The sauce was so good that we ordered extra bread to dip in the sauce. The only regret about the meatballs were the number of meatballs were fewer than expected. The Caramelized Sprouts ($11) were very good and enjoyed by all. read more

Not quite what we expected from previous reviews. Microwaved frozen food. Expensive drinks. Bartender was nice and did warn us. Our bad! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lounge seems very nice inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

V Lounge is an Incredible experience. The bartender Rick was knowledgeable, efficient, and had great recommendations based on what we liked. Drinks were balanced and beautifully made. Excellent service from start to finish. He even recommended things for us to do while we are visiting! I will stop in here every time I'm in town now! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Amazing food, service and ambiance![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely return next time we are in Solvang!

The cocktails were delicious and the bartender, Rick, made us feel at home. I highly recommend this place for a drink. I bet the food is good too but we didn't try anything. Ava at the front desk was also helpful. read more

The drinks here, made by Rick, are actually amazing. He's an incredible bartender! I had a seasonal Strawberry daiquiri as well as their regular menu Key lime pie martini which tasted like a literal dessert in drink form. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is very chilled and laid back, quiet and relaxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I also tried the bar food- loved their deviled eggs! Wasn't crazy about the shrimp as it was kind of overcooked and tough. read more

I was walking by when I heard laughter and decided to come inside. I was pleasantly surprised to see the place was open on Wednesday. I had a great night and experience. The service was amazing and getting to chat with the lovely girl working, Erika just made my night. I really do recommend this place to anyone out in Solvang looking for a drink and good time. Amazing. read more

We are staying at the Vinland Hotel for a few days and this lounge is just off the lobby. It was cold and we were tired so we decided to just take the easy way out. Wish we hadn't. This is a cute little bar/lounge and a fine place to get a drink and relax, but that's about it. They have a very limited food menu but Swedish meatballs was on there. We thought that the meatballs and a salad would be a passable dinner. Unfortunately, as soon as the bartender came over to take our order he let us know that there was no cook on duty that day but he was going to do the cooking but that the meatballs were off the menu because of it. I happened to see another customer eating what looked like chicken wings and asked about it and he let me know that they were on special that night. I chose the Korean BBQ flavor. They tasted fine but no spice at all, which is usually expected. We also ordered the deviled eggs. Ugh. Such a mistake. The only good thing I can say about them is that the bacon bits looked hot and fresh. Literally THE WORST deviled eggs I've ever had. The outside had a weird sticky slimy-ness and the filling was so bland and dry. Bottom line - get a drink, skip the food. read more

My husband and I had a weekend getaway in Solvang and had a great experience at this place. Being the holiday season, all the restaurants had over an hour wait and we were pleasantly surprised that we didn't have to leave the hotel to appease our hunger. Our server/bartender Rick was warm and attentive without being intrusive and the food arrived promptly. With our red lager we ordered flatbread with cream cheese and smoked salmon sprinkled with some greens that was so tasteful, caramelized Brussel sprouts with crispy bacon crumbles that's to die for, and Danish meatballs in white sauce with garlic bread. All three have big portions and can be shared by 3-4 people. It was Rick who suggested the food we ordered and we were so happy that we did! Kudos to the chef! We left nothing on the plate! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was cozy and the dim lighting with the soft, cool voice of the singer made conversation easy[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. We had a very relaxed, enjoyable evening and would definitely be back if we're in town. read more

Food was delicious, good happy hour and Rick the bartender gave us some outstanding suggestions for things to do around town and places to go, he even knew which spots were dog friendly as we brought our dogs with us. Best hummus I've ever had, hands down. We'll be back for sure! read more

We highly recommend the V Lounge for locals or tourists. Very chill, relaxing vibe and the mixologist is great! The cocktails are on point! No premix at all! Prepared fresh and on the spot. Love it! read more

Dmytro did excellent work for us modifying a cabinet so that a range hood could be raised to a proper level.

Went here for a mid-week happy hour. My husband is good at planning those spontaneous splendid mini-excursions. We had a great time. Nice little place with an awesome bartender who moved a bit ago from Colorado (although his name isn't coming to mind at the moment he was great!) I had the "Santa-Rita" which was perfect! My husband got a non-alcoholic kombucha beer and he enjoyed that as well. Overall, a fun experience and we'll definitely be back! read more

I like this place. The service is great, the food is decent and the drinks are delicious. You have to order food in order to sit in the dining area. But that's ok because they have some pretty good small bite options. We had the Brussel sprouts which were cooked perfectly with a bit of char. The drink menu is fun and I haven't had a bad cocktail here yet. They did a great job with the remodel. It's modern and clean. I'd go back just for the cocktails. read more
