Hey Guys,
I'm trying not to be an old man... but I was trying to go to sleep last night (had to get up early today) and I live over a block away from the new Solo Bar on Cortelyou and Marlborough (next to the Subway Station).

I think it's great they have live music -- I really do -- but I'm thinking that it is VERY loud and ending at 1:00am if it's that loud isn't OK.

1st -- Why is it that loud? It's a small place... I guess they are going for "music venue" and not neighborhood bar, because there's no way you could actually have a conversation in there.

2nd -- Why is it that loud over a block away? Not music in the distance, but pretty much loud enough that I wouldn't have to go there to listen. No sound baffling? Were their windows wide open?

Again, I don't want to be an old man, but this seems a bit over the top. (I actually tried to call at 12:40 when it seemed to reach a crescendo and then continue at that level for another 20 mins -- but no one answered the phone # I found.)

They didn't answer the phone because they couldn't hear it ringing over the loud music....and, yes, you are an old man. Ha! (jk)

OK... i think i'm an old man... but FUCK, it's 11:30 on Tuesday and the bass playing at Solo is basically in my bedroom again

What the fuck?!

Ear plugs dude.

the acoustics in this place are really weird. tile floor, tile ceiling, all conversations sound like they're happening in an indoor swimming pool. weird place, hopefully they will change a bunch of things or something else will come in.

Actually, I thought the acoustics were pretty good, till the band started playing. Not a particularly melodic form of jazz. ..but seriously, I am very glad they've reopened, and that they appear to be competing well in the area. They seem to have just an average variety of booze on the shelf BUT I will keep my eyes open for whatever they do and spend my money accordingly!!

Honestly, I don't care for the live music, but I like Solo. I was locked out of my apartment for something like 6 hours a couple months ago and killed time there. I can't even begin to count how many beers i downed, but my final check was $20. Total WIN.

Yeah, get some earplugs. It's still Brooklyn.
