Description

This high-brow bar/lounge is unlike the typical dives that populate the Tenderloin. Its snacking options include ceviche calamari, whitefish-guacamole tacos, gorgonzola-stuffed tempura olives, and half a dozen thin-crusted pizzas (opt for the wild mushroom-truffle oil). It also features a wide variety of house and specialty cocktails, including a classic margarita and a chocolate hazelnut martini. There's a small wine list (both by the bottle and glass), as well as decent draft selections (e.g., Fat Tire, Stella, Sierra Nevada). Regulars really swoon for Olive's 5-7 p.m. weekday happy hour, when they can buy house cocktails for $5 and pizzas for $8.

    i loved this place. such a nice atmosphere - the owners were so nice - and the food was awesome. i recommend the tempura fried olives, the tuna roll and the pesto and onion pizza. the drinks are quite tasty, too. it's definitely a required stop the next time i visit san fran.

  • 2007 | Best Happy-Hour Martini Bar

    Located on the frayed fringes of the Tenderloin, Olive offers some of the biggest and best martinis in S.F. Enter through the thick wooden door, leave the savage workday behind, belly up to the unusual concrete bar, and order one of the sizable $5 happy-hour martinis. After a couple of sips, the copper-colored glow of a well-made martini will fill your psyche and have you declaring your sloppy love for just about everyone and everything in your vicinity. But, this bar is not just for lushes.... More »
