Silver Peso Bar

Stopped in after a fun night in the City for a nightcap or three...had great hang here!  Affordable drinks, friendly atmosphere and a truly eclectic variety of local patrons all make for a perfect dive-bar experience!

I love this place!! A total dive in the heart of Marin. The atmosphere is always fun and Pete is an awesome bartender.

If you've ever grown up in Marin, you've probably done some time at the Silver Peso.
It's one of Marin's most popular dive bars. And I'm not using the term "dive bar" lightly.

The Peso (as it's so lovingly referred to by locals) has been a mainstay in downtown Larkspur for countless years. Although Larkspur is a charming suburban town comprised of mostly upscale families, the Peso attracts people from all walks-of-life and kids of all ages.

Is there a solid cocktail program here? Hell, no! Stick with beer, shots, and drinks with no more than 2 ingredients.
Is this a place to take a date for a glass of wine and intimate conversation. Answer: no.
This is the place you go to with old friends to get drunk, play shuffleboard, and shoot pool. This is not a place to pick up women. And if you do meet a lady here, God speed.

I come to the Peso a few times per year. And when I do, I always bump in to old high school classmates (for better or worse), and see the same drunken regulars. I don't think the bar interior or the clientele has changed in 20 years. And I'm not saying that to be negative. That's what I actually like about the Peso (and dive bars, in general). You always know what you're going to get.
