The room at Nave's — neon signs, TVs and tables

Fairfax, California · since 1974

Cold beer. Cheap drinks. The game's on.

Nave's is the come-as-you-are dive Fairfax has been drinking in since 1974 — wood-paneled walls, neon in every corner, a pool table, a jukebox, and bartenders who treat you like family.

The bar

Nothing fancy. Just right.

Pull up to the long wooden bar for a cold draft or a well drink — poured the way they've always been. No cocktail list, no attitude.

Bring cash and settle in. The same hands have kept Nave's pouring for four decades, and regulars say the bartenders treat you like family.

Walls covered in framed photos, memorabilia and neon at Nave's

Look around

Every inch is a story.

Framed photos, yellowed clippings, $2 bills, a signed Joe Montana, and enough neon beer signs to light the room. Nave's hasn't changed much in forty years — and that's the point.

What's here

The usual suspects.

Pool table

Rack 'em up in the back and settle in for the afternoon.

The jukebox

Regulars rave about it. Pick the soundtrack and let it play.

The game's on

TVs all over with the Giants, Niners, and Warriors.

Back patio

Fairfax afternoons and a cold one out back.
