Louisville
Speakeasy

Lola, situated in Butchertown Grocery’s upstairs bar, is a clandestine watering hole dimly lit by candles and dotted with plush velvet couches and booths that rest against red fabric-lined walls. Lola’s food ethos is “what we crave while drinking,” meaning you’ll be offered such comforting bites as spinach artichoke dip with house-made chips, portobello fries with wasabi sambal aioli, and even beignets for pastry-lovers. Cocktails here sport an air of amusement and irreverence, like the Bit of Tongue, mixed with Aperol, grapefruit shrub, sparkling wine, copper, and absinthe, and The Sun Smells Too Loud, with Watershed Bourbon Barrel Gin, Aperol, lemon, Crème de Mûre, and sparkling wine.
