I can never get enough of Oliver's Lounge (405 Olive Way). I'm deeply in love with this bar's windows. These windows are huge and have a view of Macy's (whose basement is connected with the light rail station) and the 80-foot sequoia tree that became famous for 24 hours in March 2016 when a man climbed to its top and refused to come down. History has decided to name this incident Man in Tree. Oliver's is not cheap, but it does serve free food at happy hour. But when you drink here, you are really paying for the windows—for the excellent people-watching they provide. Also, if the day is sunny and you are, like me, not one who enjoys drinking outside, and yet at the same time you don't want to be denied the reptilian pleasures of sunlit flesh, Oliver's is the place to be. Thanks to those marvelous windows, you are at once inside and in the sunlight. CHARLES MUDEDE
