EaterSF (via Alcademics) reports that 16th Street is getting another bar. ABV will open where the Japanese restaurant TokyoGoGo once was.
ABV, a cocktail bar from the power trio of Ryan Fitzgerald (who put Beretta on the map and is currently a brand ambassador for Del Maguey mezcal), Erik Reichborn-Kjennerud (who owns Dalva and the Hideout), and Todd Smith (a founding bartender of Bourbon & Branch who now tends bar at the Hideout). As Alcademics reports, the new bar will offer 10-15 cocktails with paired small plates. Though a chef hasn’t been hired yet (they’re looking to bring in a consultant), the plan is to offer classy finger foods like pickles and fried items, and serve until 1 am nightly.
The very LAST thing we need around here is one more bar. Please shut down Double Dutch and we’ll call it even. Take Skylark while you’re at it.
Yeah, I was just thinking there weren’t enough bars on 16th St.
