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.
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.
A look around
Come see for yourself.






In their words
Treat you like family.
