Editorial Review for 540 Club – by Daniel Liszt
In Short
Lots of seating is available on a black banquette beneath rotating art exhibits, which have included photos of musicians like Outkast and Sting. On any given night, however, the front dartboards may be obstructed by co-eds waiting to order drinks at the bar. Further back, a red-felt pool table sits below a large screen that might be projecting horror flicks, while an eclectic jukebox or DJ keeps the atmosphere upbeat and trendy with tunes ranging from hip-hop to drum-and-bass.

The bar was seedy, as well as the people inhabiting it. as relating to the review, "don't come here if you're stupid..." I am a very bright person a recommend people rethink their reviews -- No interesting conversation whatsoever from others, just creepy lurking men. The place smelled like urine, too, and there was no pool table as advertised. We left after the first round.
Pros: In Inner richmond
Cons: smells like urine

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.
Pros: Bartenders, crowd, atmosphere
