Looking for a vibrant lounge where you can enjoy a handcrafted, fresh-pressed martini alongside some delicious food? Check out Lola’s Liquors in Downtown Chandler, one of the area’s newest hot spots.
Lola’s Liquors, which opened in late February at 64 S. San Marcos Place, is a cocktail lounge with “outlandish martinis, a resident DJ spinning the best of every decade, and psychedelic vibes all around," notes Sarah Roberson, the marketing director for Thrive Social Company, the location's parent company.
“When Lola’s guests walk through the velvet curtains, they are transported to another world full of neon lights, disco balls, and bold flavors, inspired by the sexiness and carefree attitude of the 1980s and 1990s,” she says.
Lola’s Liquors is the fourth concept location that Brad Ingarfield from Thrive Social Company has opened in Downtown Chandler. It joins Murphy’s Law Irish Pub, Bourbon Jack’s American Tavern, and BlackSheep WineBar & Merchant.
“Thrive Social Company’s goal is to cultivate neighborhoods and help create destination areas. Lola’s continues our mission—and who doesn't love a good disco?” Roberson notes.
Even though Lola’s Liquors has not been open long, Roberson says it is already attracting a steady crowd of appreciative guests who love both the atmosphere, the memorable beverages, and selection of food.
For example, Lola’s Liquors’ signature drink, The Apple-tini by Lola, has been especially popular with patrons.
“It’s crisp and refreshing with all of the boldness and sass Lola can fit into a glass,” Roberson says, adding that the Back to Black Martini, which features notes of blackberry, lavender, and sage harmonizing in a glamorous and memorable fashion, is also a favorite of many of Lola’s guests.
For those who are looking for a scrumptious bite, Roberson says Lola’s Liquors offers a fantastically fresh fusion of East-meets-Southwest.
“People are loving our Glazed and Confused Chicken Skewers,” she says. “Then there are the Boom Bites, which are fried rice bites loaded with spicy tuna, jalapeno, avocado, cilantro, and sriracha dressing. Guests are also raving about Lola's Poke-Licious Nachos, which feature sushi-grade tuna, crispy wontons, scallions, jalapenos, cilantro, and avocado, all drizzled with our signature sriracha dressing and unagi.”
Guests can also satisfy their sweet tooth while at Lola’s Liquors with the La Bomba dessert, featuring a triple chocolate brownie, chocolate chip cookie, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and caramel.
Lola’s Liquors is currently only open on Friday and Saturday nights from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m., Roberson says, but it makes the most of the time it has available to guests.
“Lola’s comes alive with a bit of glamour and a lively and energetic atmosphere, making it the perfect spot for a night out with friends or a nostalgic date night,” she shares.
The destination is also available to rent for parties and private events.
Roberson says she—and everyone at Thrive Social Company—is thrilled by the warm reception Lola’s Liquors has received from the Chandler community.
“The response has been overwhelmingly positive, and we feel so welcomed by our neighbors and guests,” she says.
