| NICE TOUCH: New indoor-outdoor bar seating is a favorite at this new Little Italy brewpub |
When they
opened La Mesa’s first brewery, the partners behind Bolt Brewery declared it
“the hoppiest comeback ever.” Less than a year since going into business, they
are just three-to-four weeks away from opening the doors to their second
location, making for what qualifies as the fastest expansion ever…or at least
in recent memory.
Located at
1971 India Street in downtown San Diego’s Little Italy community, Bolt’s
satellite location is located in the 1,800-square-foot space Little Italy Side
Viewformerly occupied by North End Lounge. The Bolt crew inherited a kitchen
with the property, and will use it to provide visitors with food options. At
first, that will be limited to a small menu of salads and pizzas. Those items
will be washed down with 20 taps offering a line-up of Bolt beers similar to
what’s available at the La Mesa brewery, plus a variety of guest beers and
wines.
The space,
which is decorated to bring the laidback industrial vibe of the La Mesa
space, is the handiwork of co-owner Tony Calafato, who spent the past seven
months building the satellite location. Calafato spent much of his youth in
Little Italy and wanted to go the extra mile to ensure the community got the
best Bolt has to offer. He and his partners hope to help along the positive
transformation the neighborhood has undergone over the past several years.
Now open,
Bolt’s Little Italy space will be open Sunday through Wednesday from 11 a.m. to
10 p.m., and Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Seating will be
available indoors at a long bar and high tables, or on an outdoor patio. All in
all, the venue will seat roughly 100 patrons.
