"ABV always manages to suck us in for more than a few hours—it’s spacious enough to move around, and never gets too loud. Which works out, because this Mission bar serves fantastic small plates that could be plucked off the menu from some fancy California cuisine restaurant, like squash blossom tacos and beet-cured salmon toast. They also have a burger that’s one of the best in the city, plus well-curated charcuterie boards that are well worth your time. " - julia chen 1, lani conway
