Dominic MartinicoDecember 3, 2014MoTav, possibly the finest bar in all of downtown slo. A must visit for anybody! Giant selection of speciality mixed drinks and beers. Come early though, as the place fills up quick!
slonewsJanuary 28, 2012The 5 points of the Newcastle Brown Ale blue-star represent the 5 founding breweries of Newcastle ★ an overnight success in 1928, Police requested the strength be reduced, since the cells were full.
Tim DMay 9, 2014Hold the feta cheese (too salty) on the lamb burger and the garlic aoli (just not that good) on the hamburger, but the meat, bread and potato salad are first class!
Marco DíazDecember 29, 2017Cowboy quesadilla is delicious and all food in general. Very relaxed and good to spend some good time with friends.
- HeatherOctober 25, 2010Mo|Tav is 1 of 3 really poppin spots on the nightclub scene in downtown SLO. Fri & Sat nights promise talented dj's and a packed dancefloor. VIP lounge is almost always super packed and hot/sweaty.
Ryan GillespieApril 1, 2012I don't know when this place started going by "Mo/Tav" but it is more awkward than the overgrown sideburns on Ron Jeremy's first film. 10+ dudes in black shirts = lock up your daughters.
Wednesday is TOTS (Potato TOTS) night. AKA PBR night. $1 drafts, $5 Pitchers, $3 Mystery Shots.
Zoe SullivanAugust 25, 2012Since there's no AC, if you dance, you WILL sweat. But super fun nonetheless!
Service is always great! Even when your rubbing elbows with everyone.
Benjamin HeinOctober 28, 2010The signature MoTav burger is amazing. And get the sweet fries with the honey aioli.- 2 for 1 Thursday nights from 9:30 PM to 11:30 PM! No one told me!
- Secret menu item. Ask if Noah's making Deep Fried pickles.
