I had such an amazing experience at The Lola! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was everything super cute, trendy, and perfect for a fun brunch or a girls' day out. The atmosphere is bright and welcoming, with the kind of aesthetic that makes you want to take pictures everywhere. The food was just as good as it looks. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell they really care about quality and the overall experience. And the drinks? SO good definitely a highlight. Whether you're going for something refreshing or a little more fun and creative, they do not disappoint. The service was also top-tier. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we felt taken care of the entire time without being overbearing. Overall, The Lola is such a vibe. If you're looking for a spot with great food, amazing drinks, and a cute aesthetic, this is definitely the place to go. I'll 100% be coming back! read more

The food was amazing the staff was top notch! They made our celebration amazing . Highly recommended

Brunch was So much fun at the Lola! From the staff to the other guests...everyone was so happy and just enjoying the moment. The music was Bad Bunny themed on this Saturday so we all got our dance on. I enjoyed the huge breakfast burrito, it was full of deliciousness, papas, eggs, pico and Chipotle sauce. My wife enjoyed her waffle with everything in the side and they offered softened butter. The endless mimosas were $25 per person and it was definitely worth it. We requested a watermelon sauce in the side and it was a $1. We all left happy full and with good energy. read more

The Lola - Lola Burrito - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

I remember when this place used to be Saddle Ranch back in the day, and it's definitely changed a lot since then. The inside is really nice now--disco balls hanging around, tons of TVs, and plenty of spots that are perfect for photos if you're going for that Instagram vibe. We came to celebrate a 19th birthday with a party of eight, and our server was honestly great--very attentive, friendly, and on top of things. Unfortunately, once we started ordering food, things began to go downhill. There seemed to be a disconnect between the server and the kitchen. Orders were coming out incorrectly--one of our friends asked for ranch with their salad and got Caesar instead. I ordered a steak medium rare, but it came out medium well and was chewy like rubber. I politely let the server know, and he handled it really well--he apologized, was understanding, and offered to switch it out for salmon instead. A few minutes later, after speaking with the kitchen, they decided they were going to remake the steak and give me the salmon, while also removing the steak from the bill. I appreciated the effort, but it was a bit confusing since I only wanted the salmon at that point. When both dishes came out, the steak still wasn't right--it leaned more on the raw side than medium rare. I gave it a try, but ended up pushing it aside and sticking with the salmon. Unfortunately, the salmon wasn't much better--it was overcooked and burned on the bottom. The vegetables that came with it were completely underwhelming--bland, under-seasoned, and so undercooked that I had to use a steak knife just to cut through them. Overall, the main dishes were a big disappointment. It really felt like the kitchen was off that night--the chef was definitely not cheffing. On a positive note, the happy hour specials were great, the appetizers were solid, and the espresso martinis were probably the highlight of the night. I might come back for drinks and apps, but based on this experience, I'd skip the entrées. read more

Friend booked her birthday party here at 6pm on 2/26. It was the worst experience all the way around. First, the restaurant was empty besides one large party. They sit us a table of 8 directly next to the other big party. No reason for that. Tap water on table tasted like bleach, or heavily chlorinated. Was our waitress new? Did she just not give a shit to do her job? Ordered drinks, brought 2 out instead of the 4 ordered. Had to remind her. We ordered an appetizer and the waitress brought out the plates, under her armpit. Literally directly inside her armpit under her sleeveless shirt! Inside of the restaurant was beyond uncomfortable with the temperature. We did ask if they could close the doors, or turn on/up the air, waitress said she would. It never got better. Menu is small, and not a lot to choose from. Food was fresh but not something that wowed us. No refills. Restaurant got busier, and we got more ignored. read more

You can tell they really want the place to look nice, some of the waiters and waitresses dressed really appropriately and others do not care. Our waiter was super nice and made sure to double check any info about the menu before giving us an answer he didn't know. The drinks were so yummy, but we had one dish that was not great and a little over priced. One thing I loved was the music! I had a great interaction with Jackie the manager, I expressed our concerns and she fixed them immediately! I appreciate the transparency and the extra effort to make sure we had the best experience. Thank you, Jackie! We'll be back because of you! read more

The Lola is a straight vibe! We visited from out of state and stopped in for their weekend brunch while celebrating a birthday, and this spot definitely knows how to bring the energy. The location in the Westgate Entertainment District is perfect--fun, walkable, and surrounded by so much to do before or after your meal. Inside, the atmosphere was electric. Think high-energy brunch party: a live DJ, sparklers, shot parades, dancing, and nonstop hype. If you love a good daytime turn-up, this is your place. The décor is stunning--chandeliers, greenery, neon signs, and photo-worthy details everywhere you look. Honestly, the aesthetic alone makes the visit worth it. The food itself was mid--not bad, just not as standout as the vibe. The cocktails and presentation, however, were on point. Service was good, especially considering how packed the restaurant was. Our hostess definitely had her hands full, but she kept things moving and stayed friendly throughout. Overall, we had a great time and would absolutely come back for the drinks, ambiance, and party energy. If you're looking for a cute, lively brunch spot where the vibe is the main event, The Lola delivers. read more

Lonyae was our server and he was amazing. He was attentive and quick. He works hard and was running all over the place. We came in a party of 7 and while service was bit slow, it was very entertaining. The champagne parade was so fun! They go around with free champagne and random shots to all the guests. All the cocktails were good, a bit sweet for me but everyone loved it. My Bloody Mary was slightly spicy, just how I like it and made to perfection. All the food items we had were generous portions and good. Lola's is a fun place to get together and party. The decor, DJ, champagne parade, champagne gun, sparklers all elevate the dining experience. read more

The Lola had a glow up and I'm here for it. I heard so many great things about the Lola and the food was stellar. When you walk into the newly renovated restaurant, it's such a cool vibe. There are post-able photo op areas everywhere but especially the front area with these cool egg chairs. The live DJ also plays some killer tracks while you dine and drink. I got a few different items to try including a burger, the steak frites, and mozzarella squares. Each and every item k for was cooked well, seasoned well and tasty. The cheese pull food the mozzarella sticks was epic as well. I of course has to try a couple of drinks too since I saw you can drink out of a pineapple (who wouldn't want to try that). The drink was tasty and it felt like a tropical escape. I'd recommend stopping by and if you have April as your waitress, she's amazing. read more

This is the old sugar factory location. On a positive note, the atmosphere is fun. They have a DJ that plays music. Mimosas were good. Now for the food. Definitely bring your wallet, this place is not cheap. The quality of the food is lacking. I ordered a breakfast burrito with bacon, $18 with liquid scrambled eggs. One friend ordered eggs Benedict. Came with hard boiled eggs on it? What? Who puts hard boiled eggs on eggs Benedict? Other friend ordered French toast, it was under cooked. Should have stayed on the grill longer. She also ordered 2 over HARD eggs. They came with runny yolk. She sent them back, 2nd batch came with one still having runny yolk. The deep fried cinnamon French toast sticks were good. So all and all NO I would not recommend. Might be OK for a sweet 16th party or something? Very disappointing. read more

Service and entertainment was great. My server Cici was phenomenal and attentive. Would definitely be back!

Had a terrible first (and last) experience at The Lola last night. Slow, disorganized service and ridiculously long waits. Cocktails were okay, but overly sweet. I'm giving it two stars because when our tacos finally arrived, they were pretty good. We had a reservation for dinner before a concert at the arena next door. It took about 10 minutes to get seated, and once the hostess left the table, we realized we had several food menus, but no cocktail menu. We finally had to go to the bar to track one down. It took another 10 minutes or so until someone to come to take our cocktail order, followed by about a 20+ minute wait for drinks to arrive (our party was only three people). In the meantime, we ordered dinner. At one point, the server came to ask if we wanted to order more drinks because the food "was still going to take a while." I pointed out that we had already been waiting about 40 minutes. She went to the kitchen to check on our orders, returned and told us it would be another 10 minutes for the food to arrive. We were at the restaurant over an hour before we finally got our dinner. When the food was dropped off, we had no napkins or silverware. The runner delivered the food and turned around before we could even ask for silverware. We asked another server who stopped by for silverware, and when she had not returned after several minutes, we finally grabbed silverware from an empty table. We had the same annoying and frustrating wait when we were ready to pay, and finally went to the bar and asked the bartender to run our bill. I understand it was a concert night, and the restaurant was very busy. But this place has been open next to the arena for years and should have better systems for handling a busy night. It was very frustrating that they seemed to have a lot of servers and food runners around, but still could not complete basic functions well. Food was not good enough to deal with the hassle again. read more

We made a reservation at Lola for dinner and drinks before the Chris Stapleton concert at Desert Diamond Arena. We've never been to Lola before, but it's close to the arena so we decided to give it a go! We showed up and both the host and hostess looked very frazzled. We got there about 10 minutes early and gave our name for the reservation. We were told we would have to share a long table inside with other people if we wanted to be sat now or we would have to wait a while even though we had a reservation? That was strange but we said fine we could share a communal table. It was extremely hot outside so we just wanted out of the heat and to get inside. We sat down inside and immediately felt stuffy and even more hot than we did outside. We looked around and noticed people fanning themselves with their menus and sweating. Then we noticed big fans on the floor. Their air conditioning was OUT!!! It was packed inside, 110 degrees outside and they have no air conditioning and didn't tell us!!! Completely unacceptable! I asked our server if the air was out and she told us yes it was. She was very sweet and it certainly wasn't her fault. The management and host/hostesses needed to be informing people the air was out and let them decide if they still wanted to dine there. They have tables outside but the misters were on so high the tables were soaked so there was no way you could sit outside under the minsters without getting wet. We got up and left. Such a bummer bc they did have a creative Chris Stapleton themed menu to go along with the concert and they were playing his music, but the heat inside was unbearable and how slimy of the management to not inform people. read more

There was a photographer there trying to upsell you framed pictures of your party. read more

The Lola - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

I was shocked as before I have had nothing but great experiences. However, they moved into a much larger space and with that came a decline in customer service and lack of staffing for the amount of people and the type of hyped atmosphere they are trying to have. Service was just ok, but when we were missing items the waitress had an attitude with me. The food was ok. The drinks were not good at all, I don't think they even had alcohol and for the price-save your money! We had a 945 reservation my son was first to arrive a few minutes early and was told where to sit, not seated. When the rest of us arrived we got the same greeting. The gal didn't seem to want to move from her bar stool outside in front of the restaurant she just pointed to the direction of where the table would be-no customer service skills whatsoever. The menus were as sticky and gross as the inside of the women's restroom. We had friends that had an 1130 reservation on the same day and had an even worse experience. I would hope management takes the reins of this. Westgate is a ghost town as several restaurants/bars have closed permanently. read more

We had a light dinner and drinks before the concert last Saturday. We had reservations for 6pm but were not seated until 6:40pm. We were told we the next to get seated, twice! When we ordered drinks, they did not match the description on the menu. When we asked, the server stated we do not have all the ingredients!? My Paloma was terrible! The food order took an hour, the chicken sandwich is a complete joke. Two salads, cheese burger and chicken sandwich. By the time we received our food, over 50% of the other tables were cleared. Really failed us at every level of service, will not be going back and will not recommend. read more

We stopped into The Lola before heading over to the stadium for the AZ Supershow. We were seated on the patio which has such a chill vibe. It's right across from the waterfall and ambiance is really nice. However, don't think that stops the party. I had never been to The Lola and I wasn't ready. I didn't even think of drinking, but my friend tried to order the mimosa flight only to be told they were sold out but they had unlimited mimosas for the same price. She said that was fine and let me tell you we were not ready for the club like presentation of the champagne complete with sparklers. It was awesome! The menu has a good variety of options and some really fun choices! We decided to order a few appetizers instead of meals. We ordered the hash brown flight (order it), elote ribs (good but not worth the price) and clothesline bacon (pass unless you order all dipped in pancake batter. That one was delish!) during our meal one of the servers came running onto the patio blowing a whistle holding a huge gold gun that shot champagne in your mouth. Again very unexpected as was the following of club girls who came around and poured shots down our throats. ITS A PARTY. Again I had no intention of drinking, my friend was having a one drink and we ended up leaving LIT. It was so fun! Our waiter took great care of us and all the staff was engaging. I went to use the restroom before leaving and the inside of the restaurant is definitely a party with high energy vibes and live DJ. It's nice they have inside if you want that party atmosphere or the patio that's more laid back but like o said that party is going to find you!! I'd definitely return to The Lola. read more

Attended a friend's private bday and it was so fun! The party was after business hours, and they only served appetizers. Everything we ate was delish, the drinks were outstanding and the staff was 10/10. Shout out to the two bartenders, Jo and Cece, for keeping everything top tier, and the energy fun! The Buffalo cauliflower was the best I've ever eaten, and the French Fry Board with tons of sauces was fun, and the mozzarella squares were also great. I do wish the kitchen had been open, just because some people wanted to order entrees, and it seemed like even the host had thought this would be available. They were also out of a few of the ingredients for some of their cocktail offerings, but the bartenders really came through in trying to find other solutions. The place is cute, with lots of fun chandeliers, neon signs, and hanging vines everywhere. We also got the peach spritz and two of us shared it! It was huge, and tasted like a Peach O Gummy! read more

From their hours on Yelp & their website it seemed it would be open on a Thursday night. Came with a group, on a Thursday around 7pm, front door open. Sign says The Lola now open & it was only two women sitting down eating at a table. No one else in sight. Went to go look for someone around the bar & the girl firmly said not open. Check/ call before coming on a weekday. read more

We came to The Lola for Latin Night since there was a banda scheduled to play. When we arrived, we were informed the banda wouldn't be performing until later in the evening, but we decided to stay for a bit and enjoy some drinks. The vibe here is immaculate. Such a beautiful spot to take photos, and the aesthetic is absolutely on point. The staff was super friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. We ordered one appetizer, which was okay, nothing too special. We ended up leaving before the banda started since it was going to be pretty late, but overall, it's a great place to hang out, grab a drink, and enjoy the atmosphere. read more

We were planning to eat elsewhere until we saw how lively and welcoming this place was! It was all done up for Valentine's Day and everything. Right off the bat this place is IT for any instagram, TikTok, social media worthy pics and experience. Live dj, decor, food, drinks and all! It was also a busy brunch morning (11am) and we got our food and drinks rather quickly. We spent almost 100$ between two of us. They did free shots for the adults and it was so much fun. Plenty of photo shoot areas and a Photo Booth! We had a lot of items to go and we had some amazing sauce we wanted to take to go and get an extra container of but when told we'd have to pay for it which we already checked out we just decided to decline. But we never got the other sauce we had left to go in a cup. So not only did he take the sauce with him to go get us more he never brought back the one we needed a container for. Spending money like we did, having to spend another $1-$2 on sauce is a weird thing to have us check out again for when we were already ready to leave. Other than that it was a fun time. Also if you don't like loud this is not the place for you. We loved it but if you're trying to sit down and have a more calm visit this won't be the place. read more

As you can see from my previous reviews, we've been here a number of times and enjoyed it a lot. However, they've moved locations (just across the street) into a larger dining room. And, the menu that's on their website is no longer in play. Many items have been eliminated and/or changed. We went for "our" Valentine's Day dinner and were excited to see their new set up. I had gone online and found the perfect meal I wanted to get. The first thing we noticed, when we were seated, was the change to the menu. I was quite disappointed, since one of their signature items was no longer listed. Anyway, we still wanted to have a nice dinner, so we both decided on different entrees. We started with their Pull-Apart Garlic Bread...this was the best thing I had. It was very garlicky, tender and freshly made...delicious! For our mains, Hubby went with the Bang Bang Salmon, which he really liked! He liked the glaze on it and said it was very good! I got the Sticky Braised Short Ribs. It comes with Broccolini (not a fan, find it too fibrous, prefer broccoli) and Glazed Carrots (they were neither glazed or cooked, so they were hard, raw carrots). The Short Ribs had an Asian Sticky Sauce, which turned out to be mostly soy and very salty. Luckily, the Creamy Mashed Potatoes (the best thing on my plate) helped to tone down the saltiness. The Short Ribs were somewhat tender, they were easily pulled apart. However, somehow in the same "chunk" of meat, one bite was melt in my mouth tender, the next was chewy and stringy...not sure how they managed that. I did eat them and Hubby ended up eating my veggies...he likes Broccolini and raw carrots...LOL! Our server was very nice. The music was by a DJ who was on all the video screens and very loud. It wasn't my particular taste in music, but I could see people enjoying it on a Friday or Saturday night. But, this was early evening on a Thursday, so... The place was empty, but again, I could see the bar rocking over the weekend. By my review, you can tell that I was highly disappointed with most of my food, but Hubby did enjoy his, so I tried to be fair with my rating. Will we come back, sadly, probably not... read more

It was a beautiful day to sit outside and enjoy the day. Th music was loud it was hard to hear each other. I got the mimosa flight that was good. I got the basic which has eggs, potatoes and your choice of protein and then an English muffin or tortilla. When I say no taste there was no taste. No seasoning used in anyway for the potatoes. Very bland. It was hard to enjoy the time due to the music. read more

Brunch is just okay. Pricey and loud. The restaurant is beautiful but the service isn't the best for the prices you are paying.

The Lola is a vibe . Enough said. But for the sake of Yelp let's get down to the details! We had Saturday tickets to the oogie boogie brunch but we were in town for a Han Zimmer concert so We ate dinner here 10/3/2025 because the proximity of the restaurant near the Desert Diamond Arena . We were pretty bummed when the waitress said the steak frites were sold out but we ended up getting the short rib entree which was actually really good . Happy hour is 5-7 pm we got two cocktails half off . Now for the next day , we ended up back at The Lola for the themed brunch. Check in was somewhat sloppy . We paid for the VIP brunch admission which contained some extra perks . We got rushed into our table by the hostess and we never got a themed menu , our vip amenities were never distributed (a poker chip and gummy worms/boozy worms ) . Our waiter supplied us with our amenities and was super helpful . We came for our daughter because she loves Nightmare before Christmas and oogie did not disappoint. Oogie interacted with all VIP Tables , danced with the kids and adults , and was super fun . I will say this .... - it's loud with the DJ music . Do not come here if noise sensitivity is an issue . - it's a trendy place , lots of sparklers and fun drinks . Champagne parade consists of free shots around the restaurants . Super fun ! - little ones benefit from the 9am brunch instead of 12 pm . More child friendly . My 12 year old handled the 12 pm brunch fine but she's been to loud concerts and events. read more

Loved the food and the service! The ambiance was high energy and consistent!!! From the time we got to the hostess stand, till we walked out the door! Our servers Lonyae and Ari were amazing, they were able to take care of our 14 person party and made us feel like we were there individually, and not lost in the shuffle of a big party, they were completely honest and recommended drinks and appetizers, after telling them what we liked they DID NOT MISS! Every drink seemed to get better than the next, after their suggestions I now have my favorite drink there!! I CAN NOT WAIT TO GO BACK!! Big party or small I feel like we would get the same treatment and commitment to service!!! Thank you Lola for keeping people like this employed there read more

The food is amazing and aesthetics of the place is super cute! Gabe is so nice and was knowledgeable.

Let's start with my drink, I fot the pineapple delight, delight? More like what a disappointment!!! It was full of ice as it shows in the picture, what a ripoff, I was looking forward to the Lola now at the former sugar factory. They have a very limited menu for food. We wanted short ribs and the steak and it wasn't available until 6pm!! Though it was on their menu and on their website without stating that. We were told to pick something else and we did and they said they were out. Really?? at 4:30pm? why open to the public if you are not ready. I closed my tab and left for food at Bar Louie. read more

We drove an hour to visit this restaurant after seeing the positive attention it received on social media, but unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. The cleanliness of the establishment was concerning. There was visible food, trash, and even broken glass on the floor, which made the environment feel neglected and unsafe. My chicken and waffles dish was also disappointing, the chicken was significantly overcooked and extremely tough to cut. The atmosphere was not family-friendly. The music contained excessive vulgar language and was played very loudly. Additionally, the drinks were heavily diluted due to an excessive amount of ice. Service was average, but what was most concerning was the automatic 20% "event gratuity" charge added to our bill. There was no event taking place during our visit, only a few occupied tables and no DJ, just televisions playing music. It was unclear why this charge was applied. Overall, this experience did not meet expectations, and unfortunately, we would not return or recommend this establishment. read more
