About
Anyone looking for a Mediterranean spot that feels more like a relaxed bar than a traditional restaurant will fit right in at Lava Lounge.

From the community
“A cheeseburger like no other!”
This cool bar and restaurant leans more toward being a bar than a full sit-down spot, but the food is excellent, served late, and reasonably priced. We love the gourmet cheeseburger, which is also available on the happy hour menu. The atmosphere is relaxed, with cozy couch areas, standard bar stools, and a few high-top tables. A DJ plays music every night.
