We arrived at our condo late Saturday and found this as a suggestion from our hotel binder...it was convenient. Sat at the bar and had a beer, glass of wine. The bartender (the owner) was absolutely terrific and helpful. The beef tips and burger were cooked exactly as ordered...the tater tots in particular were great. Came back Sunday for the brunch and once again we were not disappointed. Service was great and the breakfast tacos wonderful.

Waited over 5 min to be seated, (the place wasnt busy) due to the many signs saying too and never got seated just ignored by multiple staff members.

Great food and beer list. This is somewhat of a hidden gem in Solana solely because it should have a line out the door 24/7

This is a great little sports bar. They have at least half a dozen TVs in their cozy main bar area and you can see them all from just about every spot. The last NFL Sunday we were there, they had every game on plus a baseball game. There's also an outdoor patio area. They have a Sunday brunch menu for the games.

What sets the Pillbox off from most places is the food which is absolutely fantastic. We'd come back for the food alone

First time in here. Nice little place with an inside bar, seating, and then patio seating outside. Service was nice, food was very tasty, and reasonably priced. Fish n chips was excellent as were the tacos. We will go back!
