Description

Lola Gaspar tries its best to evoke the sensation of being in modern-day Spain: hipsters overtaking an old Spanish castle, with gray-faux bricks behind the bar top and ornate chandeliers hanging from above to lend that kind of vibe. But when it comes to cocktails, the bartenders and tendresses practice modern standards of mixology. The Huckleberry is a sweet little libation made with Bourbon, honey, grapefruit thyme and bitters and served over ice. There are plenty of other drinks to choose from, some made with chili pepper dusted on the rim of the glass. If beer is your poison, they also have a small selection of craft brews, including Stella, Lost Coast Tangerine Wheat and Flying Dog Pale Ale. Crowd's completely insufferable, but one nice thing: their "Buy a friend a drink program", which allows folks to buy drinks for a friend even if the friend isn't there. The bar takes the money, then puts the friend's name on a board, allowing the drink to be claimed at a later date.
