WELCOME TO ZOLA   

"If you ask me what I came into this world to do, I will tell you: I came to live out loud." - Emile Zola

The historical Longbotham building, originally built in 1909, is now home to Zola, a coalition of artistic and culinary vision of Dan Spalding and William Webster. Sean "Smitty" Smith was an integral player in creating a comfortable atmosphere that isn't off-putting. Most decor and furnishings were salvaged and recycled from demolition sites around the block and downtown Spokane. The upstairs seating features vintage tilt-a-whirl bucket booths that date back to the 1940's. The liquor dollies and our unique wall coverings are created out of everything from old bicycle rims to license plates. A favorite piece is the "uts" light fixture above the bar which came from the Jim Dandy Donuts sign on North Division.

Opening day, March 7, 2008, Zola became the only bar where a father can take his son or a mother can take her daughter on their 21st birthday and enjoy dinner, drinks and hang out and feel totally comfortable. In only eight months, owner William Webster was honored with Spokane's Ultimate Culinary Gala - 2008 Epicurean Delight Award for outstanding Hors d' Oeuvres. Zola looks forward to suprising our patrons for years to come with different menus, drinks, events and incredible ambiance.
