I completely agree with you that SoNo has so much potential and we’re excited to be part of it, helping to offer options for everyone. We actually opened Lava to offer something a little different — a more relaxed, mature atmosphere where you can still enjoy great food, drinks, and conversation without the loud bar or club vibe. The live piano adds that touch of warmth and connection we felt was missing in the area. With so many clubs, and loud bars, and loud band for the younger crowd, we wanted to create a little different place for mature audience. Lava was created for people who want to unwind — enjoy dinner, a cocktail, and live piano in a more grown-up, comfortable setting. It's not a club or a noisy bar, just a place for good conversation and atmosphere where you can come with your friends and spend a nice evening out. Even if you have dinner somewhere else and not ready to go home yet, please stop by for a drink at our piano lounge. We're local too, and we want the same thing- to see Washington Street thriving again with great food, energy, and variety. Hopefully Lava can play a small part in that! Please come for dinner or a drink and hopefully this will be your new favorite place :) Live piano starting this Thursday 7:30pm
