Bolsa's Covered Patio is the Perfect Place to Ride Out the
Summer (and Get Drunk)  Categories: Drinking  Bolsa's outdoor
bar.  Sometimes you just really need to get drunk on fancy
cocktails in the middle of the day.  (And by "you," I mean me,
of course.)  Lots of places don't open until 5 or later, though,
or they close during that late afternoon lull between lunch and
dinner service; often, if they do stay open during that time,
you're forced to endure annoyed staff polishing glassware and
cursing your presence during their much relished break time.
Bolsa, on the other hand, was still relatively lively at 3:45 on
Thursday afternoon.  Late lunchers lingered over flatbreads and
salads, while a handful of day drinkers occupied the bar (we
spotted Chef DAT and his newsboy hat-sporting crew sipping
cocktails across the way).  Bolsa johnny appletree cocktail.jpg
The Johnny Appletree.  Eager to escape the artificial Arctic
chill of air conditioning, we bellied up to the bar via the tall
benches on the patio. he in
