NOTE: 2025 Neighbor Nights Update!

Over the past year, ‘Neighbor Nights’ have been such an amazing success, and we can't thank you enough for your loyalty and input in making this part of the LaBo story! We've been listening to your suggestions, and we decided to mix things up a little... Turns out, not everyone is a wine lover! So, after hearing from our die-hard cocktail fans, our to-go peeps and the loyal zero-proof crowd, we’ve made some exciting changes. Starting this month, we’ve adjusted the menu price and introduced featured wines as an add-on. That means if you prefer a refreshing Mojito or maybe our famous Zero-Proof ‘Hibiscus Honeybee’ or ‘Basil-Ginger Elixir’ the choice is all yours! We hope this change allows even more guests to come out and enjoy #NeighborNights! See you soon!
