Poka Lola Social Club

Poka Lola isn’t a new Hawaiian restaurant or a cannabis strain; it’s the retro bar located inside the Maven, the Dairy Block’s hotel. The ritzy watering hole balances art deco elegance with Midwestern soda-shop comfort. Guests will feel pampered with cocktail classics and house creations, along with bar fare that’s surprisingly down-to-earth for the upscale […]

Stanley Beer Hall

Stanley Marketplace resolutely refuses to refer to itself as a mall, and while the idea of many different merchants under one roof certainly brings to mind the “m” word, this complex has a few very important tenants that differentiate it from the pink-and-teal edifices of the ’80s.
