Since 1962, the mid-century modern structure at 3537 Fifth Ave has housed what is now Nunu's Tavern, Hillcrest's longest-running cocktail bar in the 92103 ZIP code. The venue occupies the same Fifth Avenue pub strip as Shakespeare Pub, and the two draw overlapping crowds of neighborhood regulars. Original red Naugahyde booths, swivel bar stools, and a jukebox stocked with vintage rock define the interior, which retains its scalloped booth layout and dim cocktail-lounge lighting from the building's 1962 construction. The mid-century modern booths and vintage cocktail program have maintained a 1962-era lounge atmosphere through decades of Hillcrest's evolution, anchoring Fifth Ave alongside the Cajun-Creole kitchen at NOLA on 5th in a converted 1902 Craftsman house. The full pub kitchen turns out quarter- and half-rack pork ribs, a patty melt ranked among the bar's top sellers, and a late-night menu that runs past midnight.
