SOLERA

Prohibition ended in 1933, but almost a century later, speakeasies – now operating under lower stakes – represent ultra-hip bars across the country found in not-so-secret locations. Solera, the adjacent lounge to South Osborne’s corner spot, Tabula Rasa, is the latest in this city. Enter the building’s side door leading to the secret bar. Like its relative, Sous Sol in the Village, decor is delightfully playful, but elegant Mediterranean touches and sumptuous seating takes its cue from its street facing, address sharing sister, Tabula Rasa. Offers not only an extensive cocktail menu but an excellent food menu as well. Details are not publicly available online, but expect oysters on the half shell, burrata and beet salads and luscious pappardelle. Go for the alluring ambiance and under-the-radar vibes.
