Reservations and walk-ins
Do I need to reserve a table?
Walk-ins are welcome at both bars. Weekends fill up after 8pm. Weeknights and earlier evenings, we usually have space. If you want certainty, reserve a table.
How do I make a reservation?
Through our reservation form, which sends a WhatsApp message to the bar of your choice. We confirm within an hour during open hours.
Is there a deposit or cancellation fee?
No deposit. No cancellation fee. We do appreciate a heads-up if you can't make it.
How far in advance should I book?
A day ahead is plenty for weeknights. Two to three days ahead for weekends. Same-day works most of the time, though we can't always promise the seat you want.

Drinks and dietary
Do you have non-alcoholic options?
Yes, real ones. Our coffee mocktails (Black Honey, Floral Mango, Peach Blossom) are built with the same care as the cocktails. We also pour our own kombuchas when ready, plus loose-leaf teas and proper coffee. More on our mocktail philosophy here.
Can I customise a drink?
Yes. At Soluble Solids, customising is the default since there's no fixed list. At Dissolved Solids, the menu is short but the bartender will adjust most drinks if you ask. You can also use the drink builder to design something in five taps before you arrive.
Vegan? Gluten-free? Allergies?
Most of our cocktails can be made vegan (aquafaba in place of egg white). Most can be made gluten-free. Please tell the bartender about allergies before ordering.
What snacks do you have?
A small kitchen menu. See /snacks/ for the current list.
Pricing
How much do drinks cost?
Cocktails are between RM 35 and RM 60 depending on the spirit and the build. Mocktails between RM 25 and RM 35. Coffee and tea between RM 12 and RM 22. We don't list prices on the website because they shift slightly with bottle costs, but we keep them within Damansara Kim and SS2 ranges, not KLCC ranges.
