What People Are Saying About Dalva

The look is Old World, but the music and clientele are trendy. From paint-chipped doors to wrought-iron windows, hints of provincial France dominate the decor--that is, when it's light enough and you're sober enough to notice it. The projection screen above the bathrooms shows oddball movies, while the little alcove in the back is quieter and perfect for cannoodling.

This is a great place to go if you want to stay away from all the trendy poser-type bars...just a comfy neighborhood place to get a drink at happy hour...not pretentious whatsoever. Word of caution: the sangria is very tasty and potent.....drink it s-l-o-w!! Parking is non-existent.....and it can be loud at times.

As you know my favorite beer is Chimay which this place has. They are known for their sangria but that gives me a hangover. Good music and great location.

I've been going to Dalva ever since I got a job in the Mission and have always enjoyed the sangria, selection of beers on tap, and the classy but mellow atmosphere compared to nearby hangouts. I recently had a bon voyage party there (thanks to the awesome manager, Eric) and my love for Dalva has grown. We had a great setup in the back room, serving food early in the night, then transforming it into a nano-version of "1984" a la cat club. This was only possible b/c the bartenders were so cool about letting me play my 80s playlist. Thanks to Craig, Jimmy, and Peter for helping my friends and I have some seriously good times. Dalva deserves an '11' on this rate-o-meter.
