On the Grid : Bar Bolinas

"Named after the beloved northern California surf town whose residents are notorious for removing road signs to deter tourists, Bar Bolinas brings the northern California vibe to Brooklyn (including its Dutch Crunch rolls!), but without the attitude. The eclectic menu is carefully curated with its California roots crisscrossing into Mexican and Asian territory from time to time, making for a unique and delicious meal that will appeal to even the most discerning palate. Pair a hand-picked rosé with a summer dinner on the back patio, an unusual cocktail with snacks for a cozy evening at the bar, or a latté with brunch in the light-filled back room—all providing a momentary escape from Brooklyn without traveling too far." - Makewell
