The best thing that ever happened to this bar may have been the one-woman show Carrie Fisher put on across the street. The best thing that can happen to you after less-than-ice-cold beer and festival food at Bumbershoot is having one of the city’s best made French 75s here. Don’t let the setting of a new condo complex deter you. Solo has a mellow atmosphere. It works against its surroundings with mismatched furniture and couches on one end; at the same time, the bar embraces the new with all-white and low lounge accoutrements. Oddly, the mashup works. Check out the menu for some affordable appetizers that will exceed your expectations of bar food without overselling it as something trendy. Note for another time: Solo offers a daily happy hour from 5:00-7:00 p.m., featuring its housemade sangria.(Solo, 200 Roy St., Mon-Sat 5:00 p.m. to 1:30 a.m., Sunday 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to midnight.)
