Pam and I had just taken a one-hour walk on Folly Beach where the gods had conspired with gentle breezes, a bright blue sky, and friendly folks to convince us that there was no way it could possibly get any better. But once off the beach and spotting a new Folly establishment called The Bounty Bar, we were to find out how wrong we were to set our expectations so low. The front door beckoned us to come on in. As I opened the door, the first thing that hit me was a bombardment of colorful lights, tastefully put in a context of a flat black background. It took a bit for my pupils to adjust from being out in the bright sun, but as they did I immediately felt the friendliness and informality of this “everyone-knows-your-name” place. I have to say I was impressed that an establishment that had just opened recently seemed to be running like a well-oiled machine.
We ordered ice tea, the fried fish sandwich, the gator po' boy, some fries, and a salad which was brought to us on the front porch section where we could take in the “passing parade” of humanity enjoying their visit to this funky beach town. Both the fried fish and gator were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The fries were top-notch and the delicious ice tea hit the spot. I guess the only change that I might have made was to have ordered one of their many choices of beer or the renowned frozen rum punch to more closely complement the delicious lunch we had. That will have to happen next time. :)
Thank you, Bounty Bar. We will be returning!
