When Solarium—the pickleball spot from a group that included the Astros’ Lance McCullers Jr.—closed, there were rumors about what the future would hold for the 820 Holman St. property. Now, we know what’s coming next: La Cancha Social Club, an elevated Latin sports bar by day and an elevated Latin nightclub by, well, night.

Co-owners Alex Guzman and Nicole Solano confirmed the news Wednesday to Chron. In the same way the previous Solarium was a fusion concept, La Cancha is aiming for something similar. “Houston doesn’t have something that mixes sports and nightlife,” Guzman said.

Part of that “sports” experience is a soccer field on the premises. Guzman said La Cancha will host games, tournaments and other soccer-related events. It’s perfect timing considering the arrival of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

“We are excited about it and have a few things we are working on,” Guzman said. “We will have amazing events during World Cup and are working with a huge name in soccer that we are securing to sponsor one of the biggest events for World Cup.”

Solano said she, Guzman and the rest of the ownership group brings 20 years of nightclub experience to La Cancha. They decided on the Solarium space despite wanting to be somewhere else previously.

“We were not necessarily interested in that space, [but] we were interested in Midtown,” Solano said. “[The property] was offered to us and that was the one we all agreed upon.”

La Cancha already a social media page up and held a “friends and family” event last week. If everything comes together quickly, the bar should open in two weeks, Solano said.

Solarium shuttered around mid-March, not even a year after it opened in May 2025. The pickleball-meets-restaurant and bar was operated between Rex Hospitality and The Kirby Group, with the former handling much of the day-to-day goings on. Rex is co-owned by Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. Neither party responded to Chron’s request for comment about Solarium’s closing.

For the most part, people remember 820 Holman as the former home of Holman Draft Hall (2018-24), but the property has been around for much longer. The building used to have an all-brick facade and was called the Holman Professional Building. In 2015, it swapped tenants and appearances and reopened as VrSi Nightclub.
