I came here while I was visiting the area. I have never been a fan of the SouthSide. . . it always seemed waaaay too "fratboy" for me. So, I was really refreshed to come into Lava Lounge, and hear some awesome 80s music in a super chill, laid back environment! No worrying about the girl in 8 inch heels and a lingerie piece falling over and puking on you, or the big macho frat boy spilling his beer all over you here. Just a fun, laid back place to have a drink with fun music (!), and cool bartenders.
