Solace Outpost

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.

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 choicesdespite 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

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 location1 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

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.

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.

Great beer at a great location. It's convenient to several things near the stadium and Navy Yard. It's a great place to watch a game with several huge TVs. The have QR code ordering and the service is quick! I'll be back if in the area.

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!

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.

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.

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.
