Lola's Pergola Darwin

Lovely open bar on the water at Cullen Bay. Had the fish and chips. Lots of comfy lounge seating plus high tables with stools. Lovely staff and good food.

Whilst I appreciate businesses opening post a cyclone, one would think a risk assessment / safety review of your venue would have been conducted to see if it’s safe to open . No lighting in both the male and female toilets requiring you to use your phone to see the toilet(pitch black) The carpet was soaked from the effects of the cyclone , also all the inside cushions were wet making seating very uncomfortable . The food was ok , I say this as when your order one meal and another is delivered and the staff are quite rude and offensive , because they state the ticket says what they had is correct, I doubt I would order something that I’m allergic to and could kill me if consumed . No apologies or sympathy for the situation . At least they had the courtesy to advise of the delay of up to 45 minutes in food orders. Overall a very disappointing experience where maybe staying closed to remediate the cyclone damages would have been a better decision

Amazing bar with great vibes right on the water. Perfect place to sit back, relax and catch up with friends.

Really good vibes here. The pizza is delicious. Especially vegetarian and Margherita. The staff are super friendly and it is nice to sit by the water. The cocktails are also delicious. Plenty of vegetarian options available🤗

I just searched for a restaurant near where I was staying and this quirky little place came up. Upon arrival, was greeted by some super friendly staff. Got an excellent recommendation on a pizza. Was offered a sample of a couple of different beers (went with the Matso’s Mango beer - very refreshing and suited the tropical surrounds). Food didn’t take too long and enjoyed the view of the harbour while we ate. The Italian Stallion pizza was delicious and the honey drizzle a perfect touch (as promised by the staff). The visiting fish below us were a pleasant surprise. Plenty of kitsch decor if you’re into a photo opp. Overall, loved the service, loved the food, loved the location. Thanks!

Absolutely stunning 🤩…..very beautiful place, nice view! Excellent customer service, very friendly staff…..favorite place to go in the evening and watch the beautiful Darwin sunsets while enjoying some cold Australia beer!…… ample parking…..kids friendly! The pizza was my son’s favorite! Definitely recommend!

Booked ahead for a group of 30. No extra staff on, 1 hour wait for food (unless it's salad because they ran out....) Also had to move within the venue as they originally placed 30 people on 3 tables with room for about 6 plates on each. Do not recommend as there is a well advertised event in Darwin throughout the week and these guys don't seem to care. Atmosphere was great because we were there with our club, nothing to do with the venue.

First time having dinner here and honestly, the food was alright, nothing amazing. What really put me off was the service, the curly-haired dark English girl was EXTREMELY RUDE. I’d seen other reviews and tried not to judge before coming in, but unfortunately I had the same experience. Bit disappointing. I’d recommend picking somewhere else.

Atmosphere is devine. Perfect location. Got to see fish in the marina whilst eating dinner. Wine is delicious - especially since we aren't use to shiraz being stored in the fridge and served cold. Meals were okay - very filling. Ellie provided the most amazing service. Was super friendly on our arrival. Always had a smile on her face. Went above and beyond to make our night great.

Fancy strolling around a fancy marina in mellow Darwin and seeing this carnivalesque amusement pub! What the Doctor ordered or what?!! Kids were playing on the carousel & rocking horses in the afternoon but I can imagine it being more of an adult playground at night... a decent selection of craft beers. Good vegetarian friendly menu with great salads & gluten free options washed down with a delicious Prancing Pony Pale Ale. All enjoyed while looking out over the lovely Cullen Bay Marina. I wish they were playing more appropo music than the techno that was pumping & the staff seemed overworked but their service didn't suffer for it. Will be sending anyone heading to Darwin here!

Won't come back here ever again. I don't recommend it for any Marines. If you order a drink you don't like it (which the drinks are over priced and not too good) they won't let you exchange or refund. Don't waste your money.

We came for dinner on a Saturday (after watching the sunset at Mindel Beach) and liked it so much, we came back again on Sunday. There's a little something for everyone here. A little girl was having a birthday party on Saturday and all the kids were playing on the carousel horses. I saw a couple that looked like they were on their 2nd date. There was a group of guys sitting at the bar outside overlooking the marina who looked like they just came back from a fishing trip. The bartenders were all super attractive (if that's your thing), though like real people, not like the movie Coyote Grill or Coyote Point or whatever that was. People can sit at the bar, in booths, at tables, at picnic tables, or on the sofa. The weather was mild when we went, but for hot days it looks like they have a fleet of fans around the place to cool folks off. Oh, and the food... Well, it's mostly bar food. The Katherine Traveler burger (beef patty, cheese, fried egg, bacon, beet, arugula) was well executed, but the Aussie beef tastes a little gamey to my American palette. The pumpkin and pine nut salad was much better. Both were nicely presented. Primarily its burgers, and the fries (chips) were also good. Full bar, lots of local craft beers and wines. I recall '80's Hits music (Hall & Oates, Prince, Michael Jackson) in the background one night, 70's music (Stevie Wonder, EW&F) another night, but subtle, not too loud, if you notice music, you'll pick up on it, if you don't normally notice, it will be invisible to you. If we come back to Darwin, this is a place we would surely visit again.

We came in for an early lunch, the food was ok. The kitchen wouldn't do modifications (ingredient removal). View is great, but the experience was disturbed by a grumpy server.

A lovely location right on the water. Lola's is a great place to have dinner, drinks, catch up with friends and watch the sunset. The location is perfect, in Cullen Bay. It's kid friendly, food is great and the pricing is on point. Big servings - great for big eaters too! The staff are friendly and all around awesome vibe throughout the place. We were sitting outside but it was comfortable because of the huge fan and air conditioners all around. A definitely must if you're a local in Darwin or if you're visiting like me. I'll be back again!
