Lava Gina: Lava Gina (what a great name) achieves that swanky lounge feel and bills itself as a world music, alcoholic candy store specializing in top-shelf canned heat. The bar is svelte and literally edgy, as it juts out on a sharp “V” angle. Dripping candles, DJs, and live music complete the multicultural ambiance where everyone looks hot. Specialty drinks such as the Lavapolitan are house favorites, and Spanish tapas (weekdays only) are utterly sumptuous. Much like a volcano, Lava is exploding with hot drinks, lounge lizards, and dancing. Just ignore your pal’s snickers when they hear the name. |
