"ABV in the Mission hits all the marks of a great First Date Bar. There's plenty of room to move around, the noise levels inside aren’t too loud, and they have a great cocktail and beer selection. And depending on whether you’re looking for a light bite or a full-on meal, you can order burgers or beer-battered cauliflower to share. Just know that this spot can get busy—so maybe roll up for an early date if you want to guarantee a seat." - julia chen 1, lani conway
