Our story
Forty years behind the bar.
A Fairfax dive with the same hands on the taps since the '70s.
Since 1974
The mirror says it all.
Look behind the bar: the old mirror reads "Established in 1974." The same owner has been pouring at Nave's for about forty years — and regulars still call the bartenders some of the best in Marin.
Not much has changed in that time, and nobody's complaining. Same wood-paneled room, same neon, same cast of regulars holding down the same stools.
The regulars
A neighborhood bar, for real.
Swap stories at the bar, shoot pool in back, or catch the game with whoever's around. Fairfax has changed around it; Nave's mostly hasn't.
Locals rank it beside Marin's true dives. Come once and you'll see why.
"I felt like I was in the show 'Cheers' when I visited! The owners, staff, and frequents were extremely personable."
