WORST NYE EXPERIENCE EVER – We paid $73/ticket for what was advertised to be a great NYE party. However...even though we had prepaid for our tickets, we had to wait in the freezing cold for well over an hour. Luckily we had on long coats, but that doesn't help much when it's just above 0 and we are in dresses and open toed shoes because we expected to get in right away and not have to worry about keeping warm. By the time we finally made it to the door, the bouncer didn't even look at our tickets or our IDs and ignored us as... read more

I hate to give a bad review, but the event that took place at Solera on NYE leaves me no option. For those of you who had fun, you are lucky! I dont know how you pulled it off, I can usually make the best of a crappy situation- apparently not all of them. To be honest, waiting outside in the cold was the easy part. Between the chock-full establishment (I mean literally butt to gut), the all out brawl to get a drink, the hostile employees, the extensive coat check line, the entertainment that must have been in some secret roo... read more

WORST NYE PARTY EVER! – This party was a complete joke, we prepaid for our tickets and sat outside in 5 degree weather for an hour. This was the most poorly planned party I have ever experienced. After waiting an hour in line outside, an hour for coat check and about 20 min to get a drink we finally started to have a good time at 11:30. I am calling VISA to reverse the charges to my credit card as this was a complete mis-representation of services. Way to go Solera, you successfully made 1,600 people hate your establishment!

SOLERA NYE NIGHT FROM... – My friends and I were very excited for Solera's NYE party. However, it turned out to be one of the worst nights /event experiences. Similar to the other reviewers, we purchased tickets in advance with the expectation of a New Years party to remember. We will remember this night for a long time, but not in a good way. We arrived early, but that didn't matter. We were at least 50 people deep in line when the doors were scheduled to open at 9...which they didn't. After waiting in line for 30 min, the ... read more

NYE full refunds available. – I will agree with everyone on here that the Solera NYE bash was the WORST ever. I called, however, and they are offering full refunds for the horrible experience. This was run by a production company and not Solera, and the restaraunt is trying to make up for it the best they can. The establishment itself is a great place normally and I think we will return, but only because they are so apologetic for the events of Dec. 31st that we all remember so badly. I highly reccomend Solera on any other n... read more

WORST NYE EVER! – TERRIBLE NEW YEARS. As the other people wrote, we pre-paid $70 days in advance and we were excited for the party. Upon our arrival, the doors were not even OPENED (even though it "started" at 9), and we had to wait in the FREEZING MN weather. I was certain I was going to get frostbitten. Once inside, we had to wait an HOUR for coat check (one person working!) and then we only received TWO drinks the TWO hours we were there. The casino tables seemed ok but the decorations were subpar - I felt like I was at p... read more

NYE NIGHTMARE – HORRIBLE PLANNING! I WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN, AND I DO NOT RECOMEND IT. AFTER PAYING $70 WE GOT TO WAIT OUTSIDE FOR OVER AN HOUR... THEN WHEN WE GOT IN THE DOOR (AFTER GETTING PAST THE RUDE BOUNCERS) WE COULDNT MOVE AND IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A DRINK. THERE WAS SO MANY PEOPLE THERE THAT DRINKS WERE BEING SPILLED EVERYWHERE INCLUDING ON PEOPLE. IT WAS VERY UNDERSTAFFED... ONLY 2 BARTENDERS ON THE FIRST FLOOR. WE HAD TO WAIT 20 MINUTES FOR 1 DRINK AND IT WAS MADE WRONG. THIS WAS THE WORST NYE EVER AND THE WO... read more

2009-Worst New Years EVER – Solera's had by far the absolute worst New Year's party ever experienced. Not only did people have to wait outside for two plus hours to get in (even though they had previously purchased a ticket to get in) but you had to wait about that long to get a drink at the bar. What is even worse is because of their poor planning they opened the doors to everyone by the end of the night which meant that some people didn't even have to pay the $45-$100 to be there!!!!!! And on top of that their first floor ... read more

NYE Joke – Have you ever wanted to experience a poorly planned, understaffed NYE party? Solera is your place. Lets begin with an hour wait outside for people who PREPAID. Once you finally get to the door your met by unwelcoming cranky bouncers. Alright, now its time to grab some drinks at the open bar and dance into the New Years right? WRONG. Another 45 min wait at a coat check followed by 30 mins+ to get a drink. Simply a joke.
