January 29, 2026 – The St. Petersburg Police Department announced Wednesday that Lucas Jose Herraiz, owner of LALA restaurant and bar, was arrested on 18 counts of possession of child pornography. A judge set his bond at $180,000 Thursday morning and ordered him to wear a GPS monitor and remain in Pinellas County. LALA has locations in St. Petersburg and Tampa and features karaoke rooms. The St. Petersburg establishment rents its space from the adjacent, unaffiliated Grand Central Brewhouse, which announced Thursday that it has paused “any business interactions” with LALA “at this time.”
