One of the spots for local/legit/old school Warriors fans: those 5, 10, 20, 30yr fans who go head to toe blue+gold, who reminisce, who shamelessly talk sh!t to the TV, who decry busted calls and obsolete commentators (*cough*MJax), and who euphoric ally and aimlessly give double daps to everyone at the bar when the Dubs muscle out an unsure victory. Came here with good friends for Game 2 (2019 NBA Finals), to watch our Dubs lock down these busta Raps. Very Good craft brew selection on tap. Very Good TV-to-Space ratio. (Golden Gate Taproom = Highest, Drake's Oakland = Low)

The comedy show was incredible tonight. Great comedians, great crowd and bartender was amazing too. Hours right now are less than pre Covid but with the live performance I’m going to be there for as much as I can on those days. See sign I uploaded on hours and check website and social media on performance and events.

  • Freddie Molina

I liked this place because it was a very chill and welcoming atmosphere. The bartender was a nice guy. They dont offer food and have a surprising whiskey selection, which is a plus. I did not go when the warriors were playing so it was not packed at all. On game night this place gets packed like every other place.

My Buddy's place in chilly foggy San Francisco. A fireman married to a lovely Argentine lady opens a small neighborhood bar in Boho city... where everybody really does know your name. A little Bogart and Bacall fantasy for the blue collar set, if you know your old Hollywood onscreen romances. Stiff drinks whew!

  • Carl CloudTX Compton

Ocean Aves staple, the Ave bar is a great spot for locals. Always a new beer on draft, rotating local breweries and the owner really knows his beers. Lots of whiskies to choose from. Friendly bartenders, with a very local crowd, so act like a guest until you’re treated like family.

  • Tracy Tsiropoulos

Local bar with guest DJs. Nothing fancy here, no pool table, I don't remember a juke box (but it could have been hiding behind a crowd in the corner somewhere). I've been served from good and bad bartenders, most are friendly and know how to make a drink.

  • Eric Huck

The 2 bartenders there, a young pretty lady (Gabriella) and a young gentle man with beard took care of everything, not once did i have to ask for othro beverage, i enjoy them both and they are attentive to everybody...Eric is going back to the ave bar....

  • SYGNWAV SYNDICATE

Great place to drink. Feels like a family environment. Nadia and Ben are incredibly attentive bartenders. Live music is played. Also P-Town Birrias, an Afro-Mexican fusion company, brings serves birria tacos and burritos.

  • Jeffery Kellam

I'm n ot from the neighborhood nor do I live in the city but I gladly make the trip from Pacifica just to hang out with the people I've met here. I've only met 2 of the bartenders there and both are freindly.

Everybody is like family. They make you feel comfortable. The music is the bomb by DJ Rob V. The services are great. I'll be back again Sunday. I will definitely tell my friends .

  • Vanessa Schelenz

IT'S A VERY SMALL PLACE, mostly consists of the bar chairs, Has a weird crowd, drinks are a bit on the lower quality and expensive for the neighborhood but the stuff is nice.

  • Bill Hoskins

I like the way this bar is transforming from the older to the younger generation and right now there is a perfect overlap. Everyone is made to feel comfortable here.
