The 500 Club

The 500 club is the quintessential bar experience; a no-frills watering hole. Walking around near the Valencia Street area, we stumbled upon this bar and stopped by for some drinks. I wasn't sure what to have, but the bar tender was knowledgeable and offered various types of cocktails. I opted for a rum and pineapple drink which was the perfect refreshing drink. We are big tennis fans and were hoping to watch the Australian Open-- lucky for us, as soon as we walked in, the bar tenders were so kind and offered to play it on one of their TVs. Great place to decompress, have a drink, and enjoy the night!

I guess I'm on a dive bar roll but I love 'em and on vacation I try to hit the good ones. It's been three years in a row I make it a point to stop here on my birthday to get the day started out right. Divey but clean with all the right boxes checked. Friendly local folks, great bartenders that can pour a drink and great food near by.

Great dive bar in the mission with a double sided bar with a jukebox and a Photo Booth. The bartender was friendly and had a shift change at 7 and required all open tabs to be closed and was our queue to close out and continue to the next dive bar. But why is it called 500? No idea.They serve St. George's gin with their martinis and I'm always happy to support local.

Great bar. I don't know what else to say, if you're looking for a great dive to drink beer and watch the game, look no further.Cool people being cool and friendly and they'll turn on the out of town games if you want to watch the kings get destroyed by the oilers, for example.

Dive bar? Meh, not based on the prices. The place was ok but nothing stuck out signaling I need to come back here often. This is a place I might frequent if I resided nearby but as I'm not in the neighborhood, there's no real drive to go back. The service was quick so no complaints there.

Neighborhood dive bar in the Mission and they offer a happy hour too. It was a cold day and they had the fire on which was nice!

I have no complaints. The bar is located in a predominately residential area of the Mission, which is nice because it is not particularly busy outside but it also means that parking will be challenging but anyone familiar with San Francisco will not be surprised by this. Inside it is a tad dark, with a full spread of craft and mass produced beer, a fine selection of whiskies (be mindful of what you order though, some of the whiskies are expensive), and clean restrooms. The crowd seems a tad older, which is fine with me (didn't see many 20 something's, which is nice for a change). The bar wraps around to both sides of the room with plenty of seating. Upon entering, to your right, there are booths, and to the left, high tops in addition to bar seating. Service was prompt and chill.

Best Bar in sf!!!!Great Staff!!!Great Tap selection!!!Daytime or night, this is the place to be!

I will never return to this bar again. On 9/20/2022 my coworkers and I decided to visit this venue for some drinks after work. We started the night with shots of tequila, we were given three shots of tequila served to us without lime. I politely asked the bartender if we could have limes with our shots, when asking this the bartender was directly in front of me and chose to ignore me. I continued to politely ask "miss can we please get some limes" the bartender chooses to continue to ignore our requests and engages in conversation w other guests. For relevancy the bartender was a white female, brunette hair, slim built, with tattoos on her arms. Eventually we did get the limes we requested.. minutes later we had asked for 3 IPA's the bartender acknowledged our order and proceeded to serve the entire bar, make their drink orders, engage in conversation and even take a shot with another patron before responding to our request. At this point, I voiced my frustration to the bartender and my coworkers and I left. Whoever owns this establishment please look into this concern and do a better job training your bartenders. The level of open, blatant, disrespect my friends and I experienced is unacceptable and should not be tolerated by anyone.

The Tuesday night bartender is a crappy bartender. Ignores customers while she chats with her friends. All the other bartenders range from ok to really cool.
