Beginning Friday November 9th, we will begin opening at 4pm everyday (except Mondays – closed).  This also means we will be expanding happy hour times!  Happy hour will now be from 4pm-6pm Tuesday –  Friday.

We are very excited to introduce our new menu for Fall/Winter.  New items include Spanish deviled eggs, tortilla de patatas, spinach empanadas, tuna empanadas, and house potato chips tossed in sea salt and espelette pepper. We also welcome the return of last winter’s favorites such as braised wild boar, oxtail empanadas, and chickpea stew.  Don’t worry, old favorites such as roasted forest mushrooms, serrano & manchego croquettes, sauteed prawns, albondigas, and others still remain.  In addition, we are now serving our paellas every night, no longer just on Thursdays.  Come in and try our new creations soon!  Check out the complete new menu here.  We have also have updated our late night menu, happy hour menu, and gluten free-friendly menu.

In honor of Spain’s most popular cocktail, we continue with our Gin & Tonic of the month special.  Every month, we pair local gins with seasonal ingredients and premium tonic to create fun new takes on this classic cocktail.  For September, we are infusing Small’s gin with local blackberries, mixing with house-made sage tincture, and topping with Fever Tree tonic.  It look beautiful and tastes even better.

We are happy to announce we have expanded our hours and are now open every Sunday from 4pm – 9pm.  Enjoy a lazy Sunday in the summer sun on our sidewalk patio or come inside to cool off and relax under the wine wall.

We rolled out our new summer menu last weekend and we are very excited for you to taste our new creations. Our new grilled spare ribs in sherry lemon glaze fall off the bone and melt in your mouth. Another finger licking new dish is our bravas chicken wings with calbrales sauce. For veggie lovers, we have added grilled zucchini on romesco sauce as well as giant grilled portobello mushroom with samfaina of summer vegatables. For those inclined toward carne, we have added a duck liver pate with fresh grilled crostini and carpaccio of sirloin. Other highlights include the return of our heirloom tomato gazpacho and the citrus braised pork empanadas with crushed avocado along with a new salad featuring reddened grilled sturgeon on a bed of field greens with sherry vinaigrette. Check out the complete menu here.

This month’s installment has us infusing Small’s gin with fresh apricots.  We then pair this subtle yet fruity booze with a couple dashes of cherry bitters, Fever Tree tonic, and garnish with an Oregon maraschino cherry. Once again, this drink compliments our sidewalk patio wonderfully!

For May, we are infusing Aviation Gin with fresh strawberries then pairing with muddled basil.  We then top it all off with premium Fever Tree tonic.  It’s light, refreshing, and perfect for a sunny evening on our sidewalk patio.

As you all know, we have always strived to create a diverse menu to meet everyone’s dietary needs. Due to the increasing awareness of Celiac disease, we have created a “gluten-free-friendly” menu. This menu highlights existing menu items that are GF or that can be easily modified to allow those with gluten tolerance issues to more easily navigate our menu. Check it out here.

Bar Lolo is excited to begin offering wines on tap this month. A rapidly growing movement within the wine and restaurant industry, “keg” wine is a more environmentally friendly way to package, distribute, and serve wine while also reducing the overall cost. Bottle, cork, and carton cost are eliminated; waste is dramatically reduced. Because of these savings, exceptional wines of extreme quality can be now be offered by the glass. We are thrilled to add the Wooldridge Creek 2008 Tempranillo (Applegate Valley, OR) along with Tangent’s 2010 Albarino (Edna Valley, CA) to our already expansive wine by the glass list. We will continue to offer wines by carafe as well as wine flights.   Check out our complete wine list here.

Happy new to you all!  We have many fun things planned for the new year.  Look for wine maker dinners and other special events coming your way soon.

We will also be doing a Gin & Tonic of the month.  In the spirit of Spain’s most popular cocktail, we have decided to give it a fun twist.  Look for house infusions of local made gins mixed with premium tonic.  For January, we are infusing Smalls Gin with fresh grapefruit and thyme mixed with Fever Tree tonic.  It’s bright, lively, and refreshing.  We also scored some beautiful, vintage cut-glassware in which to serve these tasty beverages.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
