Went to Lola Bar on a date yesterday and sat at the bar....I'm so glad I did! The bartender, Carina, was fantastic. She was friendly and attentive. She made wonderful suggestions for drinks and definitely knew how to make you want to try something new ! The drinks were over the top...in the best way. We tried the Sugardaddy and Paloma Brulee. Beautifully made, creative, and you could tell there was a lot of care put into every drink. Great bartender, great drinks, and such a cute vibe. Definitely a spot I'd come back to whether on a date or with my girlfriends. read more

Had a very disappointing experience tonight. We picked Lola's because it looked like a decent menu and we liked the vibe looking over the water. We ordered drinks, felt duped after ordering a "medium" Moscow Mule that turned out to be about 40 oz. with an undetectable amount of any alcohol. When we told our waitress we couldn't taste alcohol she took the drink away to "fix it", but the second drink tasted the same, like watery ginger beer, oh by the way for $30. After our drink orders were placed, the waitress returned to the table to tell us that over half of the food menu was not available because they were redoing the menu. We wish we had that information before ordering drinks. We then ordered dinner: croquettas and churrosco to split. We were told the croquettas were 6 pieces for $16, then as the waitress delivered us only 3 croquettas, she said "I'm sorry I forgot it was only three". The churrasco looked like a fraction of the picture in the menu, but tasted fine. After finishing our food, we were ready to leave and asked for the check. The waitress brought the check and we were charged $57 for the churrasco that was listed on the menu at $46. When we raised this issue, she said the menu had changed and $57 was the new fee. After complaining and the price was adjusted to reflect the menu price of $46, we were told what the check total was without showing us the breakdown of tax and whether gratuity was included (as it has been in many Miami restaurants). We asked if gratuity was included and the waitress said "18% but that's split amongst everyone and it doesn't go to me." We didn't tip any more than 18% and were told that we "weren't tipping." The waitress started to criticize us for taking issue with the cost of the churrasco, and told us to not get mad at her. We simply told her, we're not mad at you, we're frustrated that basically every item we ordered was delivered to us as much less than we were led to expect. The waitress then insulted us twice for not tipping her more. This experience violated standards of service at every turn, and is one of the worst dining experiences we've had in many, many years. Save your money, do not eat here. Stay away from this place....we felt completely gaslit and preyed upon. read more

Located in the bayside market place, this little bar front was decorated beautifully for the holiday season. The music was good and was an attraction to pull you off the path to stop in for a drink. The drinks were cute and nicely themed, but they were mostly sugar bombs rather than anything carefully crafted. Mostly Spanish speaking, so there will be some struggles with ordering if you dont take the time to figure things out. There was also some confusion about how to order from Hummus--- I'm still not sure if they are a part of the same business or not. read more

Had the best time at Lola's on Christmas Day! Our server was so helpful and friendly and the drinks and our meals arrived quickly. We ordered the chicken tacos, beef tacos, meatballs and Caesar salad w/ chicken. The food was delicious - so good we forgot to take pics - we started to dig in as soon as it arrived at our table. Since it was Christmas we also opted to try their delicious cocktails and went with the sugar daddy and the large mojito - which was huge!! It was a perfect day to sit on the patio and watch the water taxi and people watch. Can't wait to return and try more items on their menu (especially the cocktails) read more

Make sure you take picture of the menus, get a receipt of what you paid. I paid a different amount and they edited and submit a different amount which is a lot more. I am very unhappy of their dishonesty. read more

Absolutely fantastic.....we had the chicken and the tacos, ohhhh boy, to die for. The service was great...we had somewhat of a language barrier but we made it work. The ambience reminded me of being in a beach cabana. Relaxed and invigorating.... read more

This is the absolute worst bar I've ever been to. I retired from writing reviews, but this experience has reawakened my need to report my findings. Not only were the drinks disgusting, but the service was one for the books. A couple coworkers and I were in Miami for business and decided to have some cocktails here. I blame our bad experience on our waitress, Meli. Although it's written on the menu there's a 18% service charge for all purchases, it's common courtesy to inform the patrons of such when selecting the tip amount. Every other restaurant/bar I've been to has done so, but this one. We were courteous enough to buy her two shots, but she couldn't let us know about the service charge or drop one of the untouched cocktails from the bill. The ambiance was subpar, and ultimately this place is a hard pass. read more

Lola Bar is a fun place to hang out and drink with your friends, which is exactly what I did. We ordered a few Patron Towers, Fish Bowls, Beer Buckets, and Hookah. The alcohol content in the drinks was strong, which is a plus for me since a lot of bars are known for watering down their drinks. I loved the Patron Tower because each one was a different flavor and was so good! The bar is also so beautifully decorated and I thought the little Clase Azul vases were super cute! The only things that took away from my experience was the price and the noise level. I understand that bars are normally loud but the music was so loud that it was difficult to hear the person talking across from me (and we were sitting outside too, hoping that the volume would be a little lower). I can't imagine sitting inside. The price was also unexpectedly higher than normal so be prepared to spend a few hundred, depending on the size of your group of course. read more

I had such a bad experience at this place , I didn't even end up eating , the waitress tried to be slick and tried to charge me for an item I told her to take back cause of my allergies (I didn't even touch the food) she had the nerve to tell me well you still have to pay because you didn't tell me about it before ..... excuse me ??? I understand I didn't tell you but I also didn't touch the food so therefore I won't be paying. I paid for my drink and I left cause sis got me messed up thinking I was going to pay for food I didn't eat. The ambiance is not bad though. Either way I won't be going back ! read more

Initially I was looking for a restaurant inside to get away from the heat, but nothing seemed to have indoor seating. I was happy to find this place, mainly because they had a huge fan! The food was just a great addition to the cool air! I actually ordered the chorizo tacos, but got shrimp instead whether it was by accident or the waitress misheard me. Luckily it still tasted good and I was not allergic! The Pina colada was really good as well! read more

Great Mojito. Ordered a pizza, we saw it delivered from down the sidewalk....not great. Delivered with one fork and knife and one plate for two of us. No follow up service. It appears there is another location down the street so all of the food is coming from there. It is not covered just walked down the street with lots of tourists. Shame on the health department. Hostess was kind. read more

We just had to stop by this very attractive place and have a fruity cocktail! It's so hot outside, and walking around Brickell in the heat makes it a must-stop for a cold drink! I don't know how many men stop by here, unless they are with their girlfriend, but it is a real draw for women with all the beautiful decorative flowers and bright colors and bright lights! We loved it. I'm sure Barbie would've hung out here a lot! It's nice, clean, and well decorated with a happy ambiance. The service was good and friendly. A good spot for a drink on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Brickell parking is not easy, so you may have to drive around a little bit. There are parking garages nearby. read more

Had one "small drink" they did not have water other than a $6 bottle of water to go with the $10 drink. ordered Guacamole and chips and an order of 3 tacos. $92 I went to tip and saw 18% service charge what is this for they say it was on the menu and showed the manager they removed this message on the menu. all of the messages or notifications were cut off the menu. read more

Strongly advise people not to come here due to their bad business practices, of which they'll continue: I ended up paying double for the tip and non-disclosure at the time that there was already a 18% service charge added to all bills. After checking the other low rating reviews for this business, it's something they rely on regularly. Original agument of course is, "it's your fault for not seeing that on the receipt," though since this isn't a standard practice where I live (a.k.a. not Miami), it's not something I instinctly would look out for (service charges are rarely pre-added unless for a big party). Plus it's a bar, they're relaying on people being inebriated enough not to realize it. Then there's reviews saying the little machine they hand you to pay just shows a total amount, not itemized, which was my experience now that I reflect on it. They're purposely skipping to the next screen where all you add is the tip. If you try to dispute, your credit card will just take their word for it because they have a signed receipt afterwards. And ignore the bad business practices. Lesson learned to never hand your card over, or sign anything without an itemized receipt, especially in tourist spots. Which is something I do religiously, though the one time I gave an establishment the benefit of the doubt got burned. Won't be back when I revisit Miami + will encourage local friends not to go to this establishment. Not that Lola cares, because their overall strategy is fooling tourists. read more

Really disappointed in this place. The vibe seemed so fun and welcoming but the food and drinks were very over priced! I paid $20 for a cocktail and couldn't even stomach a few sips of it. Way too strong and unappetizing. We ordered gauc and chips which amounted to about 2 dollops for a big bowl of chips. My friend couldn't stomach her drink either. We left them about 80% full on the table. They also charge 18% gratuity off the bat. Would not recommend. read more

2 stars for being along side the marina. I ordered a spicy margarita and it came out regular. I figured, since I was paying $16-$18 for the drink I would ask her to spice it up. It was a chore to pull her away from the mirror as she was reapplying makeup and checking herself out. It was 11:30am...come on! I asked to tab out two times. When I got the hand held point of sale (pos) card system, it was already on the tip screen, so I gave 18%. I sent the receipt to my phone which is when I saw that she had already added in the tip. Not worth my tip to say anything...she's just a different kind of hooker. Shame on me for this whole visit to Lola's. Stars only for ambiance. read more

Not sure why Lola is classified as a wine bar or food truck on here as it's a full bar... My friend and I were walking by Bayside looking for a place to chill for a bit and grab a drink, and the neon signs and pretty colors at Lola caught our eye. It happened to be happy hour, which is 3-6 pm, so we took advantage of the 2 for 1 margarita hh deal. They also have some hh food deals for pizza, wings, etc., but we were mainly here for the margarita. I think normally the prices here are on the pricy side, but paying $14 for two delicious margaritas was a pretty good deal for me! They have seating at the bar as well as along the water, so after we got our drinks from the bar, we brought our margs to a table outside and enjoyed the nice weather while chatting. read more
