Owners Lara Gavigon and Julio de Haro, as well as their friendly staff, strive to make everyone who visits Estragon feel welcome and at home. The decor here is embellished by Spanish Art Deco motifs in the wallpaper, lighting and art objects. These mix stylishy with the travel and movie posters, patterned papers slipped under the glass tabletops, and leopard-print lounge chairs. Every Monday through Thursday from 5:30 to 7 p.m., visitors to the bar may order from a $1 tapas menu. There are 70 seats here, including the laid-back loveseat and stuffed-chair seating in the lounge at the restaurant's back, plus another 12 outdoor seats. The owners, though not South End residents, feel a strong connection to the community and enjoy growing corn, watermelon, tomatoes and herbs in their urban community-garden plot just behind the restaurant. When asked if she has a message to share, Lara replied: "Strive for nonviolent revolution and read more poetry. Those are my messages to the world."
