| - Can I really review a place where I spent less than 30 minutes and had just one drink? Well, when then drink was tasty, the bartender was very nice, and the decor was surprising (er, not what I was expecting), I suppose I can and am.
We stopped by Lolita's late one weeknight for a drink. The place was pretty empty and there wasn't really anything going on. I have to admit that the poor reviews had kept me away. Upon walking in, it was not at all what I was expecting. It was small-ish with a very modern and hip decor. Black tablecloths covered the high tops in the bar area. (Tablecloths on bar tables? Neato!) The bar itself was trendy and inviting. Though, admittedly, the atmosphere was a bit lacking as there was just nothing happening.
The bartender welcomed us immediately. After asking for drink menus, we were informed that they were going through a renovation or whatever and didn't have a drink menu at the moment. However, he did list off several tasty sounding margaritas and mojitos. He had my heart at "coconut margarita". And that coconut margarita was delicious!
To further outdo himself, avocado ice cream was mentioned by our group during conversation. The bartender then disappeared and re-appeared with a complimentary bowl of just such ice cream. Now that is some nice service.
It's pretty hard to really judge the place just based on one drink, but I was certainly enticed enough to want to come back here earlier in the evening for a full experience with food and everything.
