| - soooo delicious!
ok so it was random night out with my friend, and we both couldn't go out til after 7, but i was hoping to get to a happy hour still. i looked up all the happy hours i could find in cleveland and came across lava lounge! seemed like a random spot but i took a chance on it bc the yelp reviews were so good.
walking up to the place, i was starting to feel a little more iffy. i didn't want to get my friend's hopes up about the food bc we're both foodies so i just told her that the menu looked like bar food. it looked like a typical bar, very dimly lit, mostly empty at the tables but there were a handful of people at the bar.
there were 3 menus that we got - one regular menu, one happy hour menu, and one specials menu. the menu was pretty different from the one online, but the one online does give you a general idea that they have a big selection of random various items.
we were there before 8, so we ordered from the happy hour menu. i think they're kind of lenient with the time of happy hour, because around later 8:15 the waitress came up and asked if we wanted anything else to drink before happy hour was over.
i got a tequil-ya. wow strong dinner cocktail, and yummy! my friend got a guinness. we are both vegetarian and love trying everything, so we split the goat cheese spread and sweet potato fries from the happy hour menu, and the crispy tofu sandwich from the specials menu.
everything came out pretty quick. i was a little worried about how the food at this little bar would be, but i shouldn't have. everything was delicious!! sweet potato fries were just crispy and thick enough. goat cheese is always yummy and the tomato jam it came with was good too. the crispy tofu sandwich was the best though, i hope it stays on their menu. there was mango cole slaw and some kind of bbq sauce on it. the tofu was cooked or fried just perfectly to be a little crunchy on the outside. there was a cold cous cous salad thing on the side which was good. it was so delicious, i'm salivating just thinking about it.
overall, i'm very impressed with the drink and food. price was good too. can't wait to go back!
