đ„¶ This place would be five stars if they closed the door đ„¶ and all their servers were friendly.
They definitely make me think twice before going back.

This place was busy on a Thursday at 6pm. That alone made me feel like it was a staple of this neighborhood. Seemed like there was a good mix of regulars, tourist (us) and everyday ins and outs. Our server Cole was top notch and really helpful with his faves and suggestions. N/A cocktails were amazing, ceviche fresh, smash burger on point, salads crisp. The whole package was just what we needed. Topped it all off with an oreo sundae. If you are in the area and can find parking, stop in... You won't be disappointed.

Itâs a nice restraunt. The food is very tastyđ. They have a really good smash burger but I think my favorite part is the window. You can walk up, get soft serve, milk shakes, tots and fries, or hot dogs and burgers all without even needing to sit down!

We had a leisurely afternoon snack and drink here and were beyond delighted to have found the joint. Cocktails are excellent and bartenders (Alex and Alex) are fun and quite competent. Ceviche was absolute ca$h money yummy. Just a happy place is all.

Got the smash burger and fries. The burger was decent but the hostess was standoffish and rude the whole time. Wouldnât recommend coming here if you want good service.

I wanted to try their smash burger, it was pretty decent, fries were a little over fried for my liking, but the mocktail i had was amazing. Grapefruit Serrano is the one to try.

I have been to Cole Valley tavern quite a few times with friends and family, but my boyfriend and I just moved to the neighborhood so we have been coming a lot more. On this night it was a Wednesday evening and we were able to be seated quickly.
They offer quite a few fun non alcoholic beverage options. I love this! We ordered the Blueberry Mint Lemonade and Ginger bear which came in a fun cup. I ordered the Rigatoni and my boyfriend got the Smash Burger. We have had quite a few smash burgers in the city and this one is at the top of our list. In past visits I have ordered the Salmon tacos and the Caesar salmon salad! You canât go wrong, they are all delicious!
If you can save room I hear the soft serve ice cream is really good. I have not had the chance to try it yet.
As a dog mom, I like to point out their patio is dog friendly, but they are not dog friendly inside. The service has always been amazing when weâve gone and on this specific night we got to meet the owner which was awesome!
Cole Valley Tavern is a true gem to have in the neighborhood!

This is the best fish taco Iâve 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. Canât 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.

Sat at the bar and loved the service, food, and overall atmosphere. The bartender had great recommendations and was very friendly. The tavern also has a wonderful neighborhood-y feel to it!
