People still talk about this Lakeview spot from its long run as Mondo (nevermind that it’s been three restaurants since).

The bar was a centerpoint back in the Mondo days.

Now it’s become the latest from @byblosrestaurants , now open, and that bar is primed to resume its role as neighborhood hang.

Byblos goes big on bourbon, and bigger on happy hours, with a daily deal and certain all-day drink specials that change through the week (wine Wednesdays, classic cocktail Thursdays, etc.)
