Richmond's tallest rooftop bar returns

State of play: The restaurant and bar sit atop the Shamin Hotels-owned Hampton Inn/Homewood Suites in downtown Richmond.

• Shamin owner Neil Amin told BizSense last year that Kabana would close on New Year's Eve to make way for another concept as part of a needed refresh for the 8-year-old bar.
• With Solaire, locals will find a modernized interior and patio with all-new seating, including cozy lounge chairs.

On the menu: An appetizer and sandwich-heavy selection, including charcuterie, loaded tater tots, truffle fries, a mezze plate, a roast beef baguette and veggie wrap ($9-$22).

• Signature cocktails include a tropical negroni, paloma spritz and a frozen pineapple and coconut mojito ($13-$16), plus wine, beer and mocktails.
• Happy hour will be Tuesday-Friday, 4-6pm, and Saturday noon-3pm, with specials like $5 apps, house wine and domestic beer, plus $8 frozen cocktails.

What's next: Solaire, which is at 700 E. Main St., opens to the public on May 15 at 6pm.

• Regular hours will be Tuesday-Thursday, 4-10pm; Friday, 4-11pm; Saturday, noon-11pm; and Sunday 11am-3pm.
