The Ave

The Ave is an excellent bar. I love the vibe. Eight of us came here after our CCSF night class semester ended. One of the pupils paid for my first round of drinks. When I heard the bartender talk about Native American tacos (Navajo fry bread) $5 each, I knew I had to try it. They were delicious. It was a fried bread type of taco. They came in two versions, a vegetarian version and a beef version. The chef also let me take photos. It was cool to be able to talk to the chef.

Great local bar. Bartender is friendly and knows everyone. It's noisy but not an extremely loud. Parking might be hard to find but accesible through public transportation.

This bar has changed a lot since the first I went. The noise is too loud and the atmosphere I got by walking in was very unwelcoming. The music that was playing I didn't even want to hear at a bar. I didn't see if they had food to sell. The bartender only was just focusing on her friends. I have been to better places than this. I will not come back to this bar.

Great vibes and great cocktails and cider. Friendly and easy parking! Service was phenomenally again!

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.

10-6-2019...5p.m.Soulful Sundays with D.J. Rob V...Every Sunday 5P.M.-9P.M. ya diggg Good people, good vibes, great drinks...Nothing like chilln in ya old neighborhood..The Ave is a kool place to be...Stop by and get ya chill on

Glad I discovered it a few months before it closed, it turned out to be the best 'local' I'd enjoyed since the closure of Portals Tavern on West Portal. Every time I went back, I'd find both fine folks I'd found before and new ones, ready to chat. And occasional servings of food prepared on site. My regret has turned to long-term anticipation with the news that The Ave will reopen a year from now. I just hope that, on both sides of the bar, some of those same good people will be back.

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 aroundand a place that I call home.

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

What can I say, this is one of my favorite spot in SF, it never disappoint, nice local bar with a amazing vibe. Strongly recommended...
