    Absolutely love this place - especially the happy hour! Their decor and ambiance is very aesthetically pleasing and the space is really big so it's great for larger groups. The menu items are very unique and the happy hour specials are really good, and it includes Saturdays. The cherry blossom cocktail is super tasty and the Turkish coffee pot is good if you like coffee! It's a strong taste and presentation of the drink is really cute. The service was great and I would definitely come back to try more of their cocktails and dinner items! In the summer it looked like they have an outdoor space which would be really cute for a girls night, date, etc. when the weather is nice.

    Lovvvvvvvve this place for Happy Hour! We truly enjoyed our cocktails! They were delicious and picture perfect! They had natural sweetness and you didn't have to question if there was liquor (like some cocktails). The ambiance is to die for! The natural sunlight and greenery is top tier! The bar and entire space gives luxury & chic. It is huge! The staff were nice and attentive; service was excellent which is always at the top of my list! Oh, I loved the hummus and garlic naan!

    One of my favorite spots for Happy Hour! Bambola is brought to us by the same group that brought us Beatnik so of course the quality is there. I come here quite often, especially during the warmer months when they open the window near the bar and you can catch the good breeze. Drinks here are always on point as I usually rotate between the sesame & banana old fashioned, cherry blossom gimlet and the coconut sour. All very good drinks! Snacks on the HH menu are always good as I tend to go with the hummus, roasted beets, tzatziki and lentil & beef kofta. I tried their burger once and it was very good as well. Everything on the HH menu is $10 so you get a great deal. Bartenders here are always good people and make great drinks. The ambience is very chill and gets a bit intimate as the nighttime falls down. I've brought many friends and dates here! Definitely recommend Bambola for any occasion.
