Lola por Dios has been going for years, but this past year or so has also been going through some changes. It was a bold move for owner Jota ((José Manuel Leirós) to change locations and to also create this quirky “taberna vertical” with the bar distributed over four floors, and a small terrace outside on the pedestrian street. I am amazed at the number of new tapas bars and restaurants that have opened in Sevilla since we began our lockdown “de-escalation” at the end of June 2020. This is optimism in the extreme, and of course I support it, but there is also a bit of trepidation there, hoping they will succeed in spite of the odds. I know that in some cases the restaurants had already invested in opening in the spring, so it’s now either make or break time. Others, like these crazy guys, looked for new ways to expand on what they already had going here, and make it even more fun and interesting.
As before you will find the typical and very traditional Lola por Dios tapas, with a good selection of wines and vermouth. It’s a welcome addition to what has become a pretty touristy area just behind the Plaza Nueva. But there are still enough of the old school bars, and new ones like this one, to keep it authentic.
