"The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on business within downtown Seattle has forced us to make this incredibly difficult decision to temporarily close our locations, effective Monday, March 16th. Like the rest of Seattle's businesses, we are desperate to reopen as soon as possible. Please visit tomdouglas.com for updated information. We will continue to fulfill all orders for Rub with Love products, so you can continue to enjoy the flavors of Tom Douglas Restaurants in your own home." One of the original outposts in Seattle restaurant overlord Tom Douglas’ galactic empire, Belltown’s Lola continues to stand the test of time. The theme is Greek, although significantly upscaled from your average neighborhood gyro joint. Think squid kebabs, spendy tagines, a savagely good lamb burger, and martinis with feta-stuffed olives. Their happy hour makes said martinis accessibly priced, and also offers deep discounts on the kebabs. In a fun nod to neighborhood joint theatrics, your server pours a shot of ouzo over whichever kebab you order, although they thankfully do not put on a big, fake smile and shout “Opa!” TOBIAS COUGHLIN-BOGUE
