The wait is almost over for the addition of downtown’s newest attraction. Sol’s Arcade + Taproom is coming to 421 Maiden Lane. The 6100 square foot space located right by Segra Stadium will feature arcade games, simulators, rotating self-pour taps, a sports lounge and food trucks out front. 

The new gathering space is owned by Cameron Carlotti. The business is named in honor of Sol, Carlotti’s first pitbull rescue. At the end of March, Carlotti took to social media to share that their business plans have been approved by the city. Contractors are now on-site and getting to work. 

A mural showcasing the business’s namesake, Sol, decorates the front of the building. Earlier this month, the business celebrated the installation of its sign. As progress continues, community members eagerly await the reveal of the inside of the space as these exterior milestones are celebrated. 

The new arcade and taproom is on track to open this spring. The exact date and further details are yet to be announced.
