Editorial Review

Lola's takes over the spot where boozy Tapatini's once stood. It's only fair to call the new bar a serious upgrade over its predecessor. Diminutive lamps cast an attractive glow over the bar. Chest-high tables can accommodate groups of six at leather-backed stools. Flat-screen televisions ringed with copper frames line the wall behind the liquor bottles.

Nosh on apps like sloppy joe sliders, a pate and brie platter or quesadillas made from shrimp, chicken, prosciutto, spinach, sun-dried tomato and two kinds of cheese. Hearty sandwiches make up the majority of the menu. A steak sandwich comes cooked to order and dripping with cheese and sweet caramelized onions. Other options include a half-pound burger, a turkey sandwich with cranberry mayo and some big "badass" fish tacos. Looking for lighter fare? Opt for the lemony caesar salad.

The bar offers 10 beers on tap including the creamy London Porter from Fuller's and summery brews like Blue Moon Belgian White. Wines by the glass range from $7 to $10.

I love this place for lunch

Posted by lecountdb | Jan 27, 2009 | Mark as Inappropriate

I have been to Lola's several times in the span of a month and I have not been disappointed. The staff is friendly, the food is great, and your meal comes out promptly and the way you asked for it. I highly recommend the beef and bison chili, Joe Joe's sliders, and the Caesar Salad w/ the addition of grilled shrimp. I intend to try other dishes on my future visits.

Definitely 4 Stars All Around!

I live on Capitol Hill and must not get out much because I've missed about 3 months of Lola's! Forgive me! Went for the first time last weekend and the atmosphere, food, and drinks were exceptional. I actually saw the bartender spoon out foam from a freshly poured beer and take the time to feel whether or not a wine glass was warm to the touch! Classssay! I had the chicken/shrimp quesadilla and it was delicious! I recommend it highly!
