"Polari is the kind of informal place we want to go pretty much every night for a quick drink and a bite—before dinner, after dinner, or even for dinner. Steps from Jarry Park, the shared wooden tables in this repurposed former garage fill up fast, but standing with a drink is perfectly acceptable, too. Start with a vermut-soda or bubbles, or make your way down the very affordable wine list, with options ranging from Québec to California and Portugal to Austria. The always changing small plates—some cheeses, conservas, sourdough, and vegetables drizzled with peppery olive oil—are consistently delicious. photo credit: Two Food Photographers photo credit: Two Food Photographers photo credit: Two Food Photographers photo credit: Two Food Photographers" - Ivy Lerner-Frank
