If you need a drink after work, come on by. If you want to hang into the night, come on by. This little dive is friendly, has a great draft-beer selection and employs attentive bartenders. Read more

This place is the smallest most crowded bar filled with the most interesting people that will keep you entertained all night. Ordered a hotdog and some nachos. Look at their board for specialties.

The essence of a dive bar, with the passion of sports lovers over a variety of fresh tasting liquors like Becherovka is what you get when you walk through the doors at Dave's.

It says it on the wall and I'll say it again, "Best totally unpretentious bar". It's a true story. Drink the whiskey and eat the nachos.

Great place to do some day drinking, especially pre-Giants games.

Small and crowded place, but cheap booze and cheap food so can't complain.

Some lunch breaks require a shot. Come here for two ! (oh, and they serve lunch. Nachos FTW!)

Cozy and none pretentious, nice little dive bar.
Amanda PagnielloDecember 15, 2015
I really was looking forward to drinking here but was refused because the bartender didn't want to service someone who simply asked for a cheap beer. :/

It's great to have excellent bartenders if you come to a bar alone - + 1 for Marilyn :-)

Get the nachos, and eat with your fingers... Forget the forks.

Great beer-on-tap selection and yummy nachos. Glad Dave's serves my usual non-alcoholic drink. Happy Birthday, Mr._Bill!

Dave's is a much better deal - and a lot more fun - than any of the hotel bars in the area.
Tyler WearJanuary 14, 2011
It smells like a homeless person when you first walk in, but it's a chill atmosphere and they have Maker's 46, so they get a pass from me.
