"April Jean, located at 1371 Grant Avenue in North Beach, San Francisco, is a new neighborhood bar led by industry veterans Nate Valentine, Jamal Blake-Williams, and Joe Poz. This bar reimagines the historical space as an approachable and affordable neighborhood venue. The cocktail menu is themed around snacks and meals from the childhoods of Blake-Williams and Poz, paying homage to their mothers, April and Jean. The bar offers a variety of themed cocktails, local beers on draft, a curated wine list, and nonalcoholic options. The venue aims to be a comfortable and special place for the community." - Dianne de Guzman
