As football season reaches its peak, a downtown Fayetteville entertainment venue is preparing to host one of the city’s largest watch events for the 60th Super Bowl on Feb. 8.
Sol’s Arcade + Taproom, located at 421 Maiden Lane, is planning a game day experience centered on large-scale viewing and community gathering. The venue features two 130-inch projection screens and an additional 75-inch screen, designed to provide clear sightlines throughout the space during the Super Bowl.
Opening last year in time to catch the baseball season, Sol’s Arcade + Taproom slides into football season without a hitch. The arcade and tap room has a capacity of 380 and has steadily expanded its offerings since launching. In recent weeks, the business has added canned drink options, karaoke programming and pool tables, complementing its existing arcade game selection. The venue also offers private event rental and is available for community and corporate gatherings.
Sol’s is owned by a small, close-knit ownership group. Cameron, one of the owners, is originally from California. He is a retired veteran and self-proclaimed former lumberjack. His wife remains active in military service, a connection that has shaped the business’s focus on integrity, service and community engagement. The owners emphasize direct, person-to-person interaction and a welcoming environment rooted in trust and accountability.
The business faced early challenges tied to a government shutdown, which had a noticeable impact on local commerce in a community with strong military and federal employment ties. Despite the disruption, Sol’s remained open with support from local residents, reinforcing the venue’s relationship with the Fayetteville community.
Since opening, Sol’s Arcade + Taproom has positioned itself as an active contributor to local causes. The business supports initiatives related to veteran suicide prevention, pet adoption and the Fayetteville Police Department. Community involvement is treated as a core component of the venue’s identity rather than a secondary effort.
Customer response has been strong. Based on Google reviews, Sol’s currently holds a five-star rating, placing it among the top-rated arcade and brewery-style venues in Fayetteville. The venue’s leadership attributes this performance to consistent service standards and a staff focused on guest experience.
Staff development and retention are a priority for the ownership team, which has emphasized internal culture as a driver of external success. Employees are described as engaged, professional and aligned with the venue’s community-first mission.
As Super Bowl Sunday approaches, Sol’s is seeking local partners interested in collaborating on what is being positioned as a premier game day event for Fayetteville. Partnership opportunities may include food, beverage and promotional collaborations designed to enhance the viewing experience and broaden community participation.
Additional announcements related to Super Bowl programming and special events are expected as the date approaches. Sol’s Arcade + Taproom continues to expand its role as a community-focused entertainment destination in downtown Fayetteville.
The Super Bowl teams have yet to be determined, but the big game kicks off at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 8.
