The Tables section of The Boston Globe states that BarLola on Commonwealth Avenue has closed, with this being the space that will become home to Jason Santos' Buttermilk & Bourbon. BarLola, which opened in 2005, focused on tapas items such as a mixed olive salad, smoked salmon, manchego cheese and serrano ham with toast, cheese and vegetable puffs, fried calamari, chicken skewers, and bacon-wrapped dates, along with a drink list that included wine, sangria, martinis, and more.
Buttermilk & Bourbon hopes to open in mid-November, bringing to the neighborhood a place that has "the energy of Toro and the food of Hungry Mother" and features such food items as boiled peanut hummus, oyster chowder, house-fried chicken, and barbecue shrimp.
The address for the now-closed BarLola (and upcoming Buttermilk & Bourbon) is 160 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA, 02116.
[December 4 update: The Tables section of The Boston Globe mentions that Buttermilk and Bourbon is now looking to open sometime in January.]
