Poka Lola isn't a new Hawaiian restaurant or a cannabis strain; it's the latest bar from Sage Restaurant Group. Located at the new Maven Hotel at 1850 Wazee Street downtown, the ritzy watering hole balances art-deco elegance with Midwestern soda-shop comfort. Guests will feel pampered even if cocktails and fountain drinks — think phosphates, egg creams and lactarts — ring in at $10 or less. A small food menu and some indulgent, top-shelf spirits add to the draw.
Poka Lola Social Club is now open daily from 4 p.m. to last call. All photos by Danielle Lirette.
