This is the best fish taco I’ve had in my entire life, perfect balance of spicy & refreshing. Will be back.

The happy hour prices: very good The wings: Good texture. They could use some more flavor/heat or ranch. No ranch available other than a very dilly dill sauce. I love the super thin veggie strips. The tots: good but too salty The beer selection: very limited. I would come again for happy hour with my own ranch and hot sauce. Can’t really complain for the price.

Food was phenomenal. The atmosphere and service were great. If I'm in the area this is the place I'll seek out, either fine in or take out, the food is excellent. What ever they are doing they are doing it right.

Invited to join friends at CVT. My first time here. The specialty drinks were a little too precious for a Boomer like me but others (Gen-X & Millennials) at the table enjoyed them. I went with a classic three olive wet martini, and it was excellent. Gin, of course. I shouldn't have to say that because If you want to call it a martini, it's gin. Forewarned by another review that their Steak Frites is not like you'd expect from a classic French brasserie. That was true. It was better. Delicious. Steak medium rare and flavorful. Sauce excellent. Fries with a lot of garlic - the way I like it.

Hands down one of the smash burgers I ever had. The sauce is outstanding. The fish and chips were to die for. The service was outstanding. Could get a faster service of food. We received our drinks then right after the food was served. Thank you so much for the service.

Love this place! Great food, awesome bartender, can't wait to go back!
I hadn't been to this corner bar location since before March 2020. WOW, what a welcome update to the place! A friend and I met for happy hour cocktails and snacks. The weather was beautiful so we sat outside, with dappled sunlight for an hour, and a lively, neighborhoody street scene. 🫰🏻 I grabbed a small soft-serve swirl ice cream from the walk-up window while waiting for my friend to arrive. It reminded me of childhood, and was the perfect portion size. 🫶🏻 The bartender and service staff were pleasant, capable, and efficient. 💪🏻 We each had 2 of the weekly signature cocktail specials: Something) Crown, of vodka, lime, and house made hibiscus liqueur. They were pretty and delicious. We also ordered hummus with flatbread and chicken skewers. The flavors were delicious, with the light drizzle of chili spiced oil with the hummus, scallion flatbread, and teriyaki brushed chicken & scallion skewers. The chicken was perfectly moist and tender! I am likely late to the party because the Cole Valley Tavern is an A+ place for quality cocktails, good food, a variety of different vibes (inside & outside), and spot on service. 👏🏻

Just moved into the neighborhood and was excited to come to what I thought was a cute cocktail bar. Instead, what I found was the equivalent of a chain midwestern sports bar inside of a cheap hotel. Bad art, flashing TVs, cheap drinks, and uninspired food.
I really wanted a local-feeling neighborhood bar. Unfortunately, this isn’t it.
