540 Club

Citysearch Editorial Review. There's nothing particularly mind-blowing about the 540 Club, packed amid a multitude of other bars in the Clement corridor, but don't tell the loyal regulars that. The decor feels a little thrown together--red velvet curtains drape above the bench seating, a disco ball that's a little too big for the setting spins above a small dance floor, and a Kansas Jayhawks banner hangs in the front—but the staff and patrons are friendly, making the 540 a pleasant place to knock back a few. The crowd varies from college students to middle-aged professionals, depending on the night, and 540 hosts theme parties like Malentine's Day, Prom Night, and Catholic School Karaoke.

Inner Richmond hangout entices a collegiate crowd with dirt-cheap drink specials..

The place smelled like urine, too, and there was no pool table as advertised. We left after the first round.…

Best Bar in the City. If you avoid the marnia and the north beach bars (including it's wannabe frat boys & stuck up girls) like the plague, then this is the place for you. The drinks are priced right, the music is always bumping, and the bartenders are super friendly. Check this place out on a week night when it's a little slower and your bartender with actually talk and drink with you. Ton of locals on the weekend and a super chill crowd make this my favorite bar.…
