"The term "dive bar" takes on new meaning at The Avenue, a no-frills watering hole in the heart of the neighborhood. A metal theme pervades, complete with foam stalactites hanging from the ceiling and plenty of chains dangling throughout. Pool tables, PBR, and friendly tattooed bartenders make this the ideal, darkened hangout on a sunny afternoon or late into the night. There's also a working fireplace, for those cool Bay Area evenings." - Eater Staff
