Solar Myth

Bar, Coffee$

As the Boot and Saddle, this South Broad Street spot was a country bar back in the day and rock club in the 2010s. As Solar Myth — named for a Sun Ra record — it’s a stylish wine bar and coffee shop with a steady rotation of jazz and avant garde artists on that cozy backroom stage and a matching selection of records for sale up front. But you’ll still recognize the place by that giant neon boot hanging out front.
