BarLola: Tapas, Spirits and Crate & Barrel

160 Commonwealth Ave
Boston, MA
Tapas on the corner of Darthmouth St & Comm Ave - Outdoor seating available.
Hey 'buds!  Monday.  Woof.  While you're back to the daily grind of the monotonous 9-5, take a few minutes for yourself.  That's what Boston Revue is here for.

And if you need to find a place in the city to have your next mid-sized function or gathering, BarLola can help!

A respectable group of around 20 women gathered there this weekend to honor our pal, and bride-to-be, D.  Inside BarLola we were set up in a semi private room behind the bar with banquette seating and cozy pillows.  The walls and ceilings are exposed brick with lots of wrought iron decor and vintage art.  Very charming.

Taking the walk through BarLola, the bar area was filled with sports fans, while the outdoor seating, set below street level, was at capacity as well. 

Back in the private room, we had a really nice stream of music, set at the perfect volume and plenty of seating and little tables to enjoy our Tapas and Sangria.  There was also a large table setup for gifts!  Crate & Barrel would definitely be pleased by the representation! 

Banquette seating and 1 round table with add'l chairs.
The bridesmaids provided the guests with a variety of hot and cold Tapas from the menu, along with Red and White Sangria.  You can't go wrong with variety!

We snacked on Tomato & Mozzarella, Manchego y Serranno, Calamares Fritos, Pinchos de Vieras y Uvas Negras, as well as many others.

Both of my favorites were of the seafood variety.  The Calamari was served perfectly crispy along with a zesty guacamole, almost vinaigrette, dipping sauce.  I kept going back for this.  The other winner for me was the Pinchos de Vieras, scallops skewers.  Scallops and roasted grapes.  What a delicious combo.  It was impeccable.

For a more extensive glance at the menu, be sure to check out the link posted at the top.  And if you ever pop in to BarLola, be sure to try one the Red Sangria w/ the Calamari and Scallops.  Your 'buds will be thankful.

Congrats to our friend D and her main squeeze!
