came by last night and had a blast!! if you're looking for a dive bar with good drinks and a great vibe this is the place for you!!!

Do you like dirty dive bars with cheap drinks, good music, and odd people? Then this place is for you! Come to Lola's play some pool and... well you know how it goes, it's a dive bar. read more

Lola's has secured its spot as one of my favorite dive bars in Houston. Pool tables, cheap drinks and a patio? What more could you ask for? Then they spoil us by playing alternative and rock music into the late night and early morning hours. I'd like to leave a special shoutout to the bras hanging from the ceiling. If you're looking for an interesting night out in Montrose add Lola's to the list. read more

This spot has the rough-around the edges charm that dive bar fans usually appreciate. It delivers a laid-back, no-frills atmosphere with loud music, casual drinks, and a crowd that feels genuinely local. At the same time, some aspects lean a bit too far into the gritty side, which may not work for everyone. While the vibe can be fun and memorable on the right night, it could benefit from a little more upkeep to make the experience consistently enjoyable. Overall, its a solid choice if you know what you're walking into and don't mind a little chaos mixed in with the character. read more

I haven't been to Lola's in ages, but this place, like Numbers, is a Montrose institution. Sometimes, I think of all the places which no longer exist in the area, and the fact that Lola's is still around makes me happy. It's definitely time to go back. This is an important dive bar in Houston, whether you want to play pool, hang out with friends or have a drink. read more

We checked out Lola's Depot spontaneously on a Sunday evening. We were looking for a speakeasy, and Lola's Depot came up, so we made our way. We later found out that this isn't a speakeasy, some people on Google reviews have just said that it has a speakeasy vibe. Not Lola's Depot's fault at all! Located in Montrose, we found street parking a few minutes away from this casual dive bar. Once you enter, you'll find pool tables and a pretty spacious patio. This is a no-frills type of place. A little grungy. But I will say that there's one big thing that stands out: cheap drinks. We ordered beer and I was shocked at how good of a deal I got. Not what I was expecting in Montrose but much appreciated. Service was standard. If you're looking for a casual spot without breaking the back, you know where to go. read more

Its really good for what it is. Strong drinks for not a steel price, a fairly diverse crowd, great spot to hangout and have a good time for not alot of money read more

Came here awhile back but still remember it like I was just there. (Hint: That's when you know it's good :) ) By far they meet the TextBOOK definition of a dive bar. In the best imaginable way possible. Hole in the wall, you got it. Excellent atmosphere, you got it. Diverse, friendly fun crowd, you got it. Never any dull moments here. They nailed every mark in the book for 'that hole in the wall bar over there..' friendly & down to earth in its great service and accepting atmosphere. Lola's Depot is the way to go! I highly recommend if you're looking for something new and different. I had a club soda and still had an amazing time. Drinking isn't what makes this place fun It's Lola's magic dePOTTTTT brewin fairy dust of grungy galore and pool table scores. Take a dive See for yourself and explore. read more

Women with blonde hair and glasses bigger women bangs was very rude she expected a tip after black mailing me and my friend saying if we bring a certain sum into her place we have to tip her more or she will kick us out but my friend was just pulling his money out so he wasn't trying to pull out that certain thing everyone had it but we just walked in and she was very rude and childish definitely won't be going back after that !!!!! read more

Total dive bar, great ambience though. I used to go here on the regular when I was younger.

Neat spot to have a beverage and knock back a few, hang with your buds. It's an interesting, diverse mix of dive bar meets patio party vibe. Inside has the dimmed lighting, pool table, accumulation of stickers, and other pieces of flair. The fenced in patio is spacious for more back yard shenanigans. We stayed mostly to the bar area because there was a sea of people out back on a Saturday night. Bartenders were great. Friendly and attentive, taking care of thirsty patrons. If I was working in the area again, I would keep Lola's in the rotation. Cheers! read more

This is one of my favorite dive bars in Houston. It is also conveniently close to other bars and restaurants. They don't serve food but sometimes there is a food truck that sells food. read more

Dive bar. Period. You either get it and love it or you don't. No matter where you go, don't be an idiot. Never leave your drink unattended. If a vibe starts to get sketchy, leave. Again, this is a dive bar (and it's also the best dive in Houston). read more

I LOVE LOLAS there always unique groups of people and everyone is chill and nice ALSO CHEAP DRINKS

So to me this is 100% a real dive bar. The drinks a cheep the atmosphere is grunge and it has such a mix crowd of people. The inside is really small. I'm amazed that they can fit two pool tables and all the people who get packed up in this place every time I go. The patio on the plus side is big and full of picnic tables. PS this isn't a place to go dressed up you will regret that if you do. read more

Best dive bar. People keep to themselves cheap and there is an outside patio. Best tip is to take cash because you could drink for a while and still be under the min card limit. 10$ Kenny is great!! read more

Lola's Depot - Lame Duck Beer Reccomended - Dive Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm not sure if my taste elevated as I grew up or this place took a nose dive literally as a DIVE bar. Its been a few years. I dont remember the bartenders being rude or the place this dirty. We came on a Thursday evening. There was maybe 10 people at the bar and it took an unusual long time for me to close my tab. I had to wait for them to finish saying hi to everyone else. The bathrooms got dirtier? I did not feel like I should sit on those toilets. Half of the patio lights were out. The beers are still cheap though. Theres a way to be a dive bar and be clean. read more

This is not my scene, for starters, but I am giving it a 4-stars for the smoke vapor since it really was suppressive. I appreciated the neighborhood dive vibe and did enjoy the metal music playing. I do think fire code violations may have been happening when I was there since the place was *jammed packed* Do not come here if smoke smell or smoking is an issue for you. I thought the shot I bought was reasonably priced. I might bring an out of town guest here for a feel of Houston vibes. read more

This is one of the weirdest / most unexpected type of places with so much to look at inside, that you have to go see for yourself. One of the best dive bar spots in Houston, without a doubt. Used to be cash only, but I think they take cards now. Stick to beer and simple well drinks; you'll probably be disappointed if your order has more than 2 ingredients (besides ice). Be open minded, polite, maybe even friendly. You'll walk away with a new experience, if nothing else! read more

Total shit hole. There's only two good bartenders. The rest are rude just a awful awful place.

My first dive bar since moving to Texas, I guess I can say Lola popped my cherry! Sadly but understandably there was only patio service, bar was closed...crowd was smaller and mostly kept to themselves. Drinks were nice and strong, not watered down and hella cheap! The two bartenders were attentive and kept checking in on me so I rarely had to wait for a drink. No food service only bagged chips or pretzels. BUT I took the mandatory drunk bathroom selfie! So yes this was up my alley! Definitely returning once it opens full service so I can give it the five star rating I think it deserves. read more

Setup: late night Just the kind of seedy place you want late night dive dive dive! Know what you want to order or they'll move on quickly. Have little to no expectations ;) read more

Great atmosphere, the bartenders are dope! Ask Lenny about his special shot he created, my girlfriend said it tasted like koolaid. There are bathrooms inside and outside. The drinks are the cheapest in Houston hands down. There are 2 pool tables and lots and lots of seating. Also, added bonus, there are kittens and cats that frequent the bar. No kitchen for food, so eat before you go. Parking is tricky, I parked on the street and got ticketed by Houston parking at 7at night cause I was 5 feet too close to the stop sign, the ticket cost more than my bar tab. Aside from the parking, this place is awesome! read more

this place is super fun dude! your best hole in the wall bar in montrose Leah's service was impeccable!! she's a super cute and bubbly bartender , definitely gonna keep coming back to kick back here. read more

I haven't stepped foot in this bar in 20+ until recently and hands down, i'm still a fan! For years they only accepted cash... but now they accept credit cards. I believe in real dive bars in random locations, with random people, randomly getting my drank on. And this is everything I adore in a bar. Matter fact, too many people throw out the dive bar label, when really...I want to go to a sketchy bar. And this place isn't for the pretentious, bougie, uptight, wanna be seen, fake wanna be, do you have a cocktail menu drinkers. The juke box is solid, the crowd is mixed randoms. And i love it. It feels like all my fav places wrapped up into one. The drinks are solid...prices are economical. Entertainment is priceless! You can thank me later, even though I won't remember. parking: street parking and neighboring parking lots. Read the signs. But uber/lyft is recommended. read more

Second time visiting. Most recent visit was Saturday, Nov 6th @ 10 pm. The bartenders are the worst. Ignored me and my friends and only cared about serving their regulars. They had the worst attitudes and spent a lot of time texting on phones instead of serving paying customers. Unacceptable! read more

Great place for o kick it and drink up!! Best DJ too, when he plays. Cheap drinks, great peeps read more

Lost passport here and when calling during operating hours bar repeatedly answered and did hung up or provided jibberish (drunk employee?) before hanging up. Had to report passport stolen due to being unable to get a simple answer from bar. Incredibly unprofessional staff and did not check ID ever at this location. I get that it's a dive bar, but you are a business as well, act like one. Poisons girl beats this place any day. TABC needs to check this place out. Rudest service and bartenders drinking on the job also questionable CC charges. Please try any other dive bar besides this place read more

Love, love, love this place! I'm a big fan of local dive bars, and this is exactly what I'm looking for when I think of one! I forgot the name of the bartender, but he was a just really, really, cool guy. He was holding like 4-5 different conversations like a pro, and made sure we were never empty on drinks. The $2.75 cans of Founders and $1.75 PBR tallboys also didn't hurt. They were open on a day when the entire city shutdown from some snow and ice on the roads, so we were glad they opened for those that were looking for a place to kill time. They also have an outdoor space, that was a bit too cold for us to check out. Our bartender also gifted us with some stickers for Lola's - if I'm ever back in Houston, I already know I'm coming back here! read more

Bar lost my debit card & the owner Miguel went off on me as if it was my fault. All of the staff was careless and unhelpful. I will not be back due to the dickhead running it. UPDATE: I received a message from the person who had my card & they mentioned how the bar lost theirs too! Shame on you Miguel & your bartenders! I get shit happens but this obviously shows the lack of attention & care you have handling people's cards. read more

Dive, not a fancy classy dive, my heels could possibly get stuck in a crack and I will end up on my knees, a position some will enjoy seeing me in. Mind out of the gutter, I was talking about prayer. Be a woman or get you a woman who can do both! - A woman who can do heels and flip flops. - A woman who can do fruity little drinks and shoot a whisky. - A woman who can bocce and shoot a combo. - A woman who can cha-cha and give you a pole dance. - A woman who can be classy and trampy. Bring me here, I can show you a good time; I can do all of the above. (Not always well but hey) If she can only do the latter of these statements then no question, bring her here she can most definitely show you a good time. - Don't bring her here wearing Louboutin. You can leave your sticker slaps. You can leave your bra. They have an eclectic décor. A food truck is accessible from the outdoor patio. Cheap inexpensive drinks! I was afraid to enter the restroom on my first visit, but it was surprisingly clean and you never run out of toilet paper! read more

I've been coming to Lola's since I first turned 21 and I'm 32 now so that says a lot! All the bartenders always take care of me and my friends and any new comers that I bring to enjoy this fun dive bar. Kenny always takes care of me and provides the best service. I've read two reviews about him throwing drinks and I can confirm that is not true. I've always received nothing but respect from all the bartenders who work there. read more

It's not that I don't like this bar. I still love the divey nature and the down to business bartenders that have been here forever. It's just the number of drugged out creeps here is really taxing. And don't get me wrong, I've had plenty of positive interactions with the young patrons here as well, but I'm more wary of coming here alone more than ever, at least when I look like I didn't just roll out of bed. Also, they took away the lovely parking area and there's condos in their place. Parking is a lot more tricky now. read more

This place is the definition of a dive bar and is a montrose staple. It's a great place to come if you're looking to drink for cheap. I'm pretty sure the bartenders work for tips, so don't skimp on tipping. I definitely recommend bringing cash, as waiting to close out your tab can take some time especially if the bartenders are busy. Lolas is a pretty social bar and it's super easy to meet and talk to new people. read more

This place is an awesome bar to start at when bar hopping with friends because their drinks are cheap and strong so be careful lol. I had one drink on A Saturday two months ago and buy the time I finished the second one, there was no need to keep going. The Bra's hanging from the ceiling gives it the perfect dive bar experience. Sometimes they'll have someone come in and Dj/ control the music selection so you could possibly request what song (s) you'd like to hear. read more

Lola's Depot is a dive bar at the edge of Montrose serving a largely late-twenties hipster crowds. Your options are pretty much beer and well drinks, but they're served cheaply and quickly. The inside is heavily stickered and graffiti'd, featuring a nice long bar, a pool table, and somewhat janky bathrooms. They even have a cigarette machine! The back patio is where the action seems to be, and most customers look like Montrose creative types (e.g. heavily tattooed but not intimidating); the crowd looks a bit older and more mixed inside. There are long covered picnic benches and a smoking area, as well as a food truck. Overall this was a pleasantly no-attitude dive bar and a cool place to meet up with friends. There's a good energy here. read more

Best DIVE BAR in Houston. That's all you need to know. Really just the best and probably oldest DIVE bar in Montrose.

A Montrose legend! Unpretentious. Friendly. Slightly mysterious with a touch of danger! Not too dangerous. Just a little shady! But I did say MONTROSE! AND I DID SAY LEGEND. So if you really want to say you live in Montrose because it is just so "cool"...then get your bottom to Lola's!! read more
