I used to live across the street from this place. Â Having somewhere to drink within walking distance was convenient, but Lolli's got old fast. Â The drinks aren't necessarily weak, but they're never stiff either. Â The food is decent (I liked their french dip). Â The pool tables get claimed fast, and the regulars take their pool pretty seriously. Â It feels like everyone there is trying to escape something (not uncommon for a bar, and I wouldn't necessarily exclude myself from that statement either). Â There are a lot of regulars, several of whom are obviously alcoholics. Â I didn't grow up in Federal Way, but it did seem like everyone my age was a local who'd never left. Â I've had my share of good times at Lolli's, but the vibe is just a little... bittersweet, I think.
