Bolo is chef Yun Fuentes's Latin American dining room and rum bar in Rittenhouse Square, open since 2023 at 2025 Sansom Street. The bi-level, vividly colorful space draws on Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Dominican cuisine and is named for Fuentes's grandfather, Juan "Bolo" Fuentes; the chef was a 2024 James Beard Awards semifinalist for Best Emerging Chef. While the bar centers on a deep rum roster, beverage director Tony Jimenez — a PUNCH "Best New Bartenders 2024" finalist — builds a genuine spirit-free cocktail menu alongside it. Zero-proof options include the No Jito (Lyre's White Cane, lime, mint, soda), Punch It (Lyre's Dark Cane, mango, coconut, ginger beer), Hibiscus Lemonade (Lyre's Dry London, lemon, hibiscus), and an N/Amaro & Coke (Pathfinder NA Amaro, guarapo, cola). The non-alcoholic list rotates seasonally.
