RE: Unfair Reviews – Please read every review in the last 6 months. It appears that we are not alone. Something has obviously changed at this place. I do not feel that my previous review was unfair. Everything I said was factual. Therefore, it is not slander. The bartender you mention may be the bartender in the downstairs bar. He was working very hard, and I tipped him well for his service. I spoke (kindly, mind you) with many of the employees that evening, and they were as upset as the patrons because upon the employees ev... read more

Rude staff, freezing cold, no drinks, packed – I will never again return to Solera just because of New Years Eve 2009. I had never been there and now will not go no matter what! I had a lot of fun sitting in the gay bar across the street by myself because I literally could not feel my legs from standing in the cold so long. OH, and I loved the kind courtesy of all the bouncers, NOT. How rude, seriously. Get some manners, I don't even know how you were hired. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Oh, and the girls with the horrible b... read more

The Good w/ the Bad – As I see there are alot of mixed reviews of NYE I would like to say that I had a good time. In perspective, was it a packed house on NYE?...ya. Was it busy and did you have to wait for drinks...ya? But what do you expect when you pay a ridiculous low price of $70 for Grey Goose and Patron all night in a downtown Minneapolis bar on NYE. It was overcrowded and the heaters didn't work on the rooftop when I tried to smoke, but the bartenders up there greeted me with a smile everytime. And I believe for the ... read more

NYE: Worst Party Ever – Don't ever go to Solera for NYE. You've been warned. Management at this place is HORRID; reading others reviews across the web confirms this. I had the same experience of waiting outside for over an hour to enter this dismal place (even after pre-ordering tickets!). Service was terrible (the bartenders were drinking/taking shots) and the only cool part of the place was the 1st floor bar, and even that wasn't great. There was nothing special about floors 2 or 3 (just large banquet rooms; not all that e... read more

Got scammed at Solera – Worst new years ever. Anyone who gave them a five star review must be an employee at Solera. My party waited for an hour to get in, even though we had tickets. Then after waiting an hour to check our coats in ,we went to the bar. At the bar we waited a half an hour to get a drink. I also noticed people with out wrist bands getting free drinks, why did we have to pay extra to have an open bar pass? If Solera sold a certain amount of tickets ahead of time why weren't they prepared to have those people s... read more

Worst NYE Experience Ever We had prepaid tickets for NYE at Solera, which was advertised to be a great time. We got there and had to wait in a line in the freezing cold for over an hour. When we finally made it to the door the boucer didn't check our tickets or ID and ignored us when we asked what the wait was for. We got in and found more long lines for coat check and long lines at the bar. The place was packed with people and understaffed.

The most unorganized event ever!! – I was one of the unfortunate ones who attended Solera's NYE party. Not only was I outside for hours waiting to get in, coat check was a nightmare and getting a drink was a nightmare. I was so mad I left early because I could barely move in the crowd. Doors were to open at 9pm and they didn't even start letting people in until around 9:30. It was so cold out, the girl next to me was crying because of the pain. I still can't believe that they made people stand outside. Awful, awful awful. I ... read more

NYE BUST – My boyfriend and I spent $146 to go to this dreadful event. This monte carlo themed disaster. Apparently there were going to be bond girls and body paint? Where was this? And an open bar pass??? Well, I bought one and had 2 drinks. So pretty much I spent $12.50 a drink. LAME. I could hardly walk through any of the floors because there were so many people. I felt like I was at Mount Rose, MN's prom in the gym. It pretty much sucked. The "bouncers" or whatever they were were total powertripping freaks. "Get in an or... read more
