A friend who visited Lefty's on Sunday said that the walls are stripped down like the dancers at the old Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell theatre... The place had quite a bit of character and had the feeling of a comfortable pair of old slippers. When Nick Bovis bought the place twenty years ago, he stepped up the quality of the food. Back in the 80's if you had more than a spoonful of the spaghetti sauce, you were odds on favorite to NOT make it back to the bathrooms at Powell Street BART. Still with all its faults, it was an institution and I'll miss it. If Nick decides to reopen, he'll have the support of many local groups, including the SF Fire Department.....
