“Bring on the funny 😁 happy anniversary Lisa good times great atmosphere!!!“

“Stopped in randomly, great fun vibes! HUGE shoutout to Laurie on the bar!! She was slammed and was having so much fun the whole time, taking care of everyone quickly and was super kind! Just one of those people who you can just tell cares so much and loves what she does. This was one of 6 places we went to that night and she was just on another level. The passion is seen and appreciated !“

“I know where Lucy Borden’s remains are. She was delicious. Barbecue was great, but the menudo was the best!“

“This is a dimly lit bar where the night feels a little slower, the bartender is cheerful, and conversation flows as easily as the drinks. My partner ordered an Old Fashioned; I didn’t order anything but the bartender still asked if I wanted a glass of water. A small gesture, but thoughtful enough to stay with you.

Across the bar, skulls tied with ribbons keep their quiet watch, surrounded by neon signs, and stickers – little fragments of other people’s nights, layered into the city’s story.

It’s the kind of place where you don’t have to drink to belong. Sit for a while, trade some banter, watch the city glow through the darkness, and eventually step back out into the streets feeling just a little lighter than when you walked in - with or without a drink.“

“A must stop when in the area. Nothing fancy, dive bar feel, but always a good time.“

“Way to be different lol“

“International flavor...great patio and vibe. It's a landmark.“

“If you want to sit on a throne in San Fran“

“I hit this bar anytime I’m in the area. Quirky, friendly, funny… perfect! It’s a full bar so you can get all sorts of cocktails made, or just have a bottle of Buddha beer in the green bottle. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area.“

“Amazing place and people!!!! The manager, Candice, is so sweet and helpful! We got married at Deer Park Villa nearby and chose to have our after-party at Nave's after looking into multiple bars in the area. Nave's stood out to us over the others because of the friendly, casual, laid-back, and fun vibes! Candice made it so easy for us, helped us coordinate with Ghiringhelli's Pizzeria in town to have late night food there and ready for us when we arrived, and even let us bring our DJ and allowed him to set up his equipment and continue to play for all of our guests. We cannot thank her or Nave's enough for this! They even let us come back and do it all over again the next night! Some of our best wedding memories were made here this weekend. All of the staff and other customers were so friendly and welcoming to us! We definitely recommend Nave's for a wedding after-party or event! Contact Candice and you'll be in the right hands. 10/10!!!!!!“

“Great for events and parties or just swing by for a drink. Best well kept secret in Marin. Fun funky bar and great outside patio area. There is a wonderful upstairs hall as well with a private bar and kitchen. Lots of options.“

“This is my favorite spot in the entire state! Great people, stiff drinks and the atmosphere is amazing. During your visit here you sit and talk to locals as well as tourists on holiday from all over the world. This place is a whole vibe. Each bartender has a different personality and life story. The owners are absolutely amazing! Not a better place to have a drink or 20 on the planet.“

“As someone who does not hail from the area, we accidentally stumbled across this gem whilst upon our hobbit-esque adventure throughout the hills of Sàn-Frăn, by foot, having breakfast, second breakfast, lunch, and supper in need of a tasty adult beverage. Bar maiden Jenny was a kind and gracious host whom made our travels all the more worth while. If we were ever to venture these lands again once more in times of the morrow, we'd hence again visit this tavern!“

“Nikki, what a gem! She knew all of my friend's drinks that are regulars at this bar and I'm the new guy of the crew! Totally amazing, prompt and fun service. She totally makes the place what it is, crowded or not too busy my friends always make a point to come into Crestas for the great service and good vibes.“

“Just when you think the old SF is gone you find a tried and true generational staple. This is it. Forget your balboa cafe. If you’re looking for a no frills, deeply stacked - both in cocktails and beer lineup, unintentionally crafted bar; this is the place. One of the only spots in marina with a backyard area. Buckhunter game in the back. Pool
Table inside. And best of all, not too loud. Great for a catchup. Will be back. I even left here wanting to plan my trip back to Hawaii.“

“We stumbled across the Saloon bar yesterday on our first visit to San Francisco and we are so happy that we did! From the moment we stepped into the bar we were welcomed by the lovely Sharon. She was so friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the bar and San Francisco. She went out of her way to talk to us and tell us all about the entertainment that the Saloon bar is famous for. Our plans were to stay for one drink and explore more of the area, but we couldn't leave, the atmosphere, the wonderful service from Sharon and the amazingly talented band that was playing forced us to stay all day and into the evening. We would definitely recommend this bar for its phenomenally talented entertainment that they put on and the outstanding customer service from their bar staff, especially Sharon. We had an absolutely wonderful time, thank you Sharon 💜“

“Was searching for beers to sink my thoughts during my trip to SF and I was very pleased to meet Marty and his bar !
Good music, good beer and great guy to talk to.
Thanks for the good time, I’ll come by again next time in SF.
Pardon my french 😉
