Today is my first visit here. It's on Ocean Ave but we found parking right away. First impression is that this is an A+ little dive. Loving the nostalgic vibe. They've got a great celestino of beer, including a cider on draft today. The bartender is super friendly. And the crowd here today is friendly. Vibe is a friendly neighborhood bar.

My favorite bar from comedy night , dj's , to hanging out with my neighbors this dive bar exceeds expectations . The staff always remembers my name and is welcoming / engaging in conversation .... a true gem in regards to service. The Ave is and will always be the best bar around

Tooo small no ventilation. Service is slow and did not feel welcomed our first visit, it's a neighborhood bar I get it! But businesses should be welcoming to outsiders. woman's restroom has no door knob etc etc

Came here the other night with a friend, and I frigging love this place. It's hella old school SF feeling. Folks were friendly, without being creepy. And they happened to have a beer company doing a promo that night so I also got swag. SWAG!! Also, if you check in on yelp, you can get a free shot. I tipped big anyway, since it's rude to just check in and bounce.
They also had a taco bar on the side, serving food until around 10 p.m. I kinda wish I knew, cause I'd have eaten there instead of elsewhere. But I was also with a vegetarian, and I didn't see veg options on the tacos. They smelled hella good though.
I generally don't promote a chill native SF spot unless it's already been discovered...but I also have a feeling it would be extremely hard to gentrify this particular bar. If you happen to look/walk/talk/act like a gentrifier though, feel free to go to the bar - and tip big.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0Business owner information

Thanks for stopping in for a drink with your friend, Lily. We're glad you caught us on that particular night so that you could take home some swag. Looking forward to hearing what you think of the tacos next time!
Thanks again,

After having a booze free dinner at Champa Garden across the street, my girlfriend suggested we go to The Ave. I'm always down for a drink, so we stopped by. This was back in September 2013.
Our group of 6-8 found a table in the back and started with some hennessey: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-ave-san-francisco#PVa4kbLGxmnEKPY9_cHczg
Looks delicious huh? I'm sure you're getting thirsty too! All kidding aside, we were that Asian group in the back of the bar playing deuces for shots of hennessey. No one bothered us or told us we were being too loud. It was nice being in a bar where everyone just kind of did their own thing. Everyone was there to drink and have fun.
A fun place with great people and a nice vibe.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0
