Bar Lola (CLOSED)

What with the tucked-away tranquillity of the Commonwealth Mall, Bostonians are continually stymied in their quest for a spot to relax and rehydrate along its green grandeur. Bar Lola answers this call with subterranean chic and Mediterranean treats. Its cool, cavey, dimly lit interior is a romantic option, but hit the patio for a livelier scene. The Lolita martini sports an edible orchid, and the house sangria recipe has to be be sampled to be believed - try the jacked-up 'Matador' version if you're feeling feisty.
