Browsing through Facebook the other day, I saw mention of a wine bar in J’s neighborhood that we never noticed before – Belsito<\/a>. After some investigation, it looked good, so I suggested we stop there between our tour of the SS Columbia<\/a> and heading to the Erie County Fair<\/a> for the rest of the night. We must have walked and driven by this restaurant 1000 times, and never noticed it was there, but I’m glad we finally found it.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t expecting to have a bloody mary when we decided to go there, and J suggested a bottle of Proseco before I noticed the cocktail menu. It had been a while since I had a good bloody (no thanks to Templeton Landing!), so I gave it a shot.<\/p>\n

I forget how much the drink was, $8 or $9, the bloody comes with 3 mozzarella stuffed olives, and a few basil leaves. I loved the fancy ice, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen that kind of ice in a drink, and it’s fun! Their bloody featured local Lockhouse vodka, and a house made mix. It was quite liquidy, but it was nice, since it’s summer and I didn’t really want a heavy drink. It was really mild on the spice scale (once again I didn’t ask for it spicy, I wonder what they would have added), and it had a good tomato flavor. It was quite refreshing, which you can’t always say about bloody maries. <\/p>\n

\"Mozzarella<\/a>

I felt obligated to eat an olive, since it was a key part of the drink. Unfortunately I still don’t like olives. <\/p>\n

It was a really nice day out, and the patio along the street was comfortable until our pizzas arrived, along with the bees and forced us indoors. Belsito is a nice spot, worth another visit for sure. <\/p>\n

\nSpeaking of Lockhouse Distillery<\/a>, they are debuting their bloody mary mix with a party tomorrow. I’m excited! Review to come!<\/p>\n
