This Admiral-area gathering place, “where creative peoples choose to converge”, has a happy hour as varied as its clientele. Happy hours usually start quietly and end packed with throngs of proud new parents and the local belly-dancing troupe to elderly couples and working artists (literally painting on canvas right in the middle of it all). The happy hours run Wednesday-Saturday from 3-6 p.m. and all night Tuesday and Sunday, and offer some of the best people-watching in the city. Folks also come for the $4 glass/$15 carafes of stunning sangria, $4 wines and dollar-off beers, well drinks and shared plates menu. The Bohemian is well-known for its delicious $6 slow-braised garlic “bana calda”-style Spanish white anchovies or sun-dried tomatoes, and well-loved for perfecting the art of yam fries, served with lavender honey, garlic aioli or smokey ketchup ($7 with all three sauces). Bring your sketchbook, your honey, or your toddler, and revel in the seemingly lost art of the connected community. ZIBBY WILDER
