Olive has been an oasis in the Upper Tenderloin since 2001. This stylish spot is the perfect place to join friends after work or to make new ones. There is a large selection of unique, expertly prepared martinis and other creative cocktails that make this a perfect happy hour or late night destination!

The menu features a variety of "small plates", several of which have nothing small about them! Hand-crafted, thin crust pizzas, such as the Wild Mushroom with Truffle Oil, are perfect for sharing with friends or to keep all to yourself. Other freshly prepared dishes, like the Baked Brie with Garlic and Spicy Ahi Tuna Roll, will gurantee you'll be coming back for more!

D.J.'s frequent often to keep the vibe upbeat with their original sounds!

The Scene
From the outside, this hideaway looks like a wood cabin. Inside, there are no windows, but considering the less-than-scenic surroundings, it's a good thing. The overall vibe is fun, artsy lounge. Sultry music pours out of seakers, while candles and dim lamps illuminate the small, high-ceilinged space. Paintings of mostly olives dot the walls--including a simple, Warholian-like print over the bar.

The Draw
Drinks are expertly prepared, like the chocolate martini, which is served with tasty shavings lining the rim. Rotating vodka infusions, like wheat grass-kiwi or mango-plum, are served with a wedge of fruit (which alone packs enough punch to get a lightweight loaded). Light fare includes tuna with wonton chips and a wild mushroom and truffle oil pizza.
