What our guests are saying

Always a good time when I visit. Been a patron for years, so I’ve seen bartenders come and go. But the vibe has still remained and lately I love how much the drink selection has evolved over time.

Visiting DC and had the best drink of our entire visit here! I'm not a Gin fan but the bartender switched it up and it was incredible. She definitely knows what she's doing!!

Food is amazing. The customer service is consistent. Lola's provides a safe and friendly environment. If you need to wind down after a stressful day come to Lola's to eat and drink your troubles away.
