I've had a soft spot for Lava Lounge for years. It's a great bar/club that's a bit off beat. The punk/alternative crowd dominates the clientele here, but anyone outside of that demographic need not feel intimidated. I've been here in ratty jeans and a t-shirt as well as in business casual attire and was treated the same. If you want to just drink and/or spend your time however you please then you'll be treated fairly; it's a pretty cool crowd. Thumbs down for the smoking.
