from Google & Yelp"Sooo Lara has apparently been open for a while and I had no idea because it always looks closed when I pass by. We finally stopped in on a random Saturday for a couple of drinks and I’m glad we did. Chris had a great vibe and really curated our drinks, which were super tasty. The space itself is stylish but relaxed, upscale without feeling stuffy, plus there’s an upstairs market and a speakeasy tucked away in the back. He mentioned they host events from time to time with different bartenders, which sounds fun. I definitely want to go back and try the food; it looked like there were some solid options. I’d recommend this spot to anyone looking for a chill place to grab a well crafted drink and enjoy some relaxing music."
"This place had some great drinks on Menu. The food was great and very unique options not at the typical bars. We only tried the appetizer’s The overall menu was very reasonable in prices as well. The main complaint we had was the smell, was very bad at our table. Seems to be a bad patch job on a toilet drain by our table, almost had to leave for this reason."
"Very cool space, delicious food and cocktails, excellent service. We sat at the bar for lunch on Saturday and had excellent service from Connor. Very personable and knowledgeable. Ordered the tuna tostada, Meachum farm salad, and origami cocktail, strawberry festival cocktail. It was absolutely fantastic. The salad and tostada had a perfect balance of flavors and variety of textures. Absolutely delicious. As were our carefully crafted cocktails. We will definitely be back for dinner service as there are a few items we would love to try. Also has a cool event space upstairs and little apothecary of interesting, hard to find items. Returned again on 11/22 and it was fantastic again. Husband got 2 cocktails and we shared the chicken hearts (tasty- really great chargrilled flavor), salad, and tuna tostada. I could eat that salad and tostada every day. Delicious and great atmosphere. Still trying to get back for dinner sometime!"
"Suz and her team made my birthday special with a signed card. Chris & Conner provided a great experience at the bar. They super attentive and friendly. The Sunshine State spiced my evening along the charcoal Wings. The wings had a great level spice and char. Then I asked Chris & Conner to be creative with next drink...it as similar to a paloma but smokey. Next up was similar to a margarita but with a twist. I got to chat with the owner & chef Suz and husband. The atmosphere has a New Orleans speak easy vibe. People can have conversations, great food and awesome crafted drinks with fresh ingredients which elevates the experience I think since there many choices these days. Thanks for a great evening!"
"We sat at the bar and enjoyed a few drinks and a snack. Sophia is a knowledgeable , energetic and cheerful bartender. She is happy to explain and recommend menu items. We were looking for a snack to share so we split the Longanisa Dogs and an order of French Fries. Both were very good. All of the menu items have creative and wonderful surprises. Our drinks and wine were great! Stop by and give it a try!"
"This is an excellent sweets and spice shop! They're in a tiny corner off Busch and the inside is crammed full of goodies. There's bulk spices, from za'atar..."
