Bar April Jean

Such a cute bar with yummy drinks! Came around 5pm on a Friday and it was pretty empty. Definitely started to get busier around 6 when we left! The drinks were very reasonably priced and tasted so good! Honestly think it was my favorite drink I had all day (and we were bar hopping)!Space would be extra cute on a sunny day, they have huge windows on the walls and could be super pretty during sunset. Definitely want to come back here during the summer evenings!

Visited on a Sunday around 4pm with a friend. The bar had a few other guest but lots of open seating and not too busy. They have several TV's and put the football game on for us to watch which was nice. Also saw some regulars and the bartender playing backgammon, a great spot to relax and enjoy a drink in the afternoon. Drinks: Maracuya Mama - this was light refreshing, slightly sweet with a hint of passionfruit, pretty well balanced, not too boozy, served on the rocks.Service was good, friendly, attentive and quick. Overall really enjoyed cocktails here, would love to come back and try more of the menu, a great addition to the North Beach neighborhood.

Fun lively cocktail bar in North Beach! I went here while I was waiting to get into Tony's. Great drinks! It was a little loud on a Friday night for it to be a good date spot. But def a fun place to checkout!

Ashley was our bartender and was so attentive and helpful the entire time. Even though the bar was pretty busy, she was able to answer our questions about the menu while still being super efficient with the drinks. I ordered the Granny Apple cocktail 2x because I liked it so much! Drinks are decently affordable for SF and for the vibes - my friends enjoyed their tequila-based cocktails too.

Visited on a Friday night after dinner. It is too crowded and the music is way too loud for a cocktail bar. Floor is sticky as well. The drinks are very average at best. It is a dive bar disguised as a cocktail bar and a confused night club. Service was great though!

Inside scoop: Grab a drink here and get on the Yelp waitlist for Tony's. You won't lose.North Beach is always such a busy area but we luckily found seats at Bar April Jean and had a round of drinks. Seating is at the bar, high chairs, and a couple tables in the corner. You order at the bar and bring it to your table. It was quite loud and the bartender misheard one of our drinks but we didn't care enough to correct her. Hehe. We got the watermelon mama and the pat's pie. Both drinks were solid! Definitely coming back when I'm in the area.

4.5 STARSOSL and the holidays are the BEST times to play tourist in the city. Less traffic, less crowds, and easy parking!*CHEERS* to that!And, it was the perfect opportunity to head to North Beach for brunch at Hilda and Jesse (just won their Michelin star), then dranks at the newly opened Bar April Jean from the team behind Harper & Rye, Peacekeeper, etc.April Jean is named after the owners' mothers and their cocktail program is an ode to their childhood snacks and food. No food tho. Open at 2 PM - 2 AM everyday. Dog-friendly! They even have dog treats. M E N U Signature cocktails: $13 each. 5% SF mandate added to all bills. D R I N K S* Fortaleza Blanco ($15): https://tinyurl.com/3b4x8hkcI was so happy to see they had Fortaleza on deck because it's so hard to find in the city. That was my drink of choice for the afternoon....along with a club soda.Depending on the bartender, if you ask for club soda, they may give you a bottle of topo chico instead...which was $6! I was given tap club soda once (no charge) and topo chico twice so make sure to specify. S E R V I C EKind bartenders and one of the owners, Joe was awesome. We had an incident where two people got "too friendly" and wouldn't leave us alone. He stepped in and handled the situation discreetly. A M B I A N C EBright and airy with pistachio green walls and windows wide open for plenty of air flow. Bar seating have purse/coat hooks and two tops with banquette seating. Mix of locals and tourists; we met some fellow unicorns (SF natives). On OSL weekend, it was pretty chill. P A R K I N GWouldn't recommend driving here on a normal weekend but if you do, the nearest garage is at 535 Green Street (1 min walk) for around $30 flat fee. Overall, Bar April Jean is solid new hip bar in North Beach to get your drank on!

Visited this bar with coworkers while in town for a conference. It was in a prime location near other restaurants and bars. I ordered the watermelon margarita; it was very tasty with fresh watermelon pieces. There offer a variety of high quality cocktails. The place was mostly standing room with a few bar tools.

Loved everything about this place! Location is great (near golden boy pizza and plenty of other food/drink options), delicious drink combos, aesthetics, good prices, and great service. Bathroom was also very clean and cute! Highly recommend

Pretty interior. Arrived at 6:30pm and waited approx 15 minutes to get our drink order in. Drinks were creative and not overly sweet like most cocktails. Would definitely come again since it's one of the more "polished" bars in North Beach where you can get fun cocktails if you're not feeling a glass of wine.
