    We finally tried this place for the first time on a Saturday night post dinner. I can say that this is now one of my new favorite cocktail bars/lounges in the city. Love the chill vibe, president themed decor, good drinks and plenty of comfy seats. Music was pretty cool and Location can't be beat too.

    Not sure if I came on a very understaffed night, but they were hosting a Metallica pre party (why wouldn’t you staff accordingly for an event where lots of people were planning to show up?) and only had two people at the bar. It literally took an entire hour just to get to the front of the line to order a drink.

    Classy, quiet and fun. I visited the Executive Order Bar & Lounge for a social real estate network event. I enjoyed myself. I am not a drinker so I had a simple sparkling water 🥰.

    My friend introduced me to this spot on NYE and we came back last weekend. The staffs are friendly and accommodating. Great music and drinks. Perfect spot to catch up with friends. I love the ambiance and toilets are always always clean which is a plus for me.

    Fantastic Space! If you are in the area and looking for a very nice lounge, or are in need of an event space, then definitely stop by this hidden gem. The food, drink prices, and staff made my quick stop a memorable one

    Such a great experience here. The cocktails were famously fresh, and the food was surprisingly delicious. The space is warm and intimate without feeling confined or imposing. Smaller cozy spaces both on the ground floor and upstairs open up into the main expansive great room that houses the main bar. The service was on point all night, highly attentive and beyond gracious. For me, this place has the perfect 5pm after work cocktail vibe.

    Stopped in having time before a movie( Metreon only 2 blocks away). We arrived right at opening and were promptly seated at the bar The cocktail menu was amazingly diverse and all 3 we tried were tasty! The bar bite menu ( We tried 2) were delicious as well. Pleasantly pleased overall.

    I visited this place with my family for a private party, this place looked so clean that everything was well organized. The bartender 'Dave' he was spot on in making all the cocktails and drinks. The food was delicious, and the service was quick . We had loads of fun. You guys rock!!! Keep up the good work. God bless.

    The rudest service ever! The female waitress was passive aggressive, condescending and generally unpleasant! Avoid this place unless you want rude and poor service!

    Stopped by before going to the Century Theater. Had a martini with friends, convenient and close by. Drink here the theater is MORE and bad selection.

  • 4/5 Kristina N. 4 years ago on Google
    I checked out the Finger Food menu on their website and decided to drop by and find out if they do takeout. They do! I appreciate restaurants/bars that offer takeout. I ordered the Mushroom Bacon ($10), the Fish & Chips ($12), the Shrimp Po’ Boy Sliders ($15), and the Mini Assorted Cookies ($5). I love mushrooms, so I love the idea of mushroom bacon. If you love harissa, then you’d love the harissa salt on the mushroom bacon. The harissa salt is kind of strong for me. I’d prefer regular sea salt. My favorite is the Shrimp Po’ Boy Sliders. I haven’t eaten the cookies yet, but they look yummy. I took off one star, because they forgot to include the vanilla milk that accompanies the cookies. Bummer. I was looking forward to having milk and cookies. Since I was taking my food home to the East Bay, I didn’t know that they didn’t include the milk. I thought it might’ve been inside the box with the cookies. Despite the minor slip up, I’ll probably return to Executive Order sometime to dine in rather than get food to go. By the way, I love the music they were playing. It almost felt like a night club rather than a bar & lounge.

    Was there for happy hour. Nice cosy high end cocktail lounge. Best thing is they don't have loud music so you can actually talk to people without straining your voice

  • 5/5 Chris K. 1 year ago on Google
    My organization recently held an event here for over 100 people and it went above and beyond what we anticipated. From start to finish, this staff made sure everything went smooth. The space was great, staff was very attentive and the food was delicious! We will definitely keep Executive Order in mind for future events!

    This place is SPECTACULAR! I frequently host events and meetups in SF; and I love coming here since the staff is always kind enough to accommodate to my group. The bar manager and owner are always kind enough to welcome me and my group; and help ensure my gatherings are an success. Good drinks too. Truly a hidden gem. THE BEST IN SF! Keep up the good work.

  • 4/5 Christopher P. 1 year ago on Google
    Liked the feel, though lower lighting / cigar bar feel would have been preferred. Also really would have liked to see more original cocktails, though the ones they had were good.

  • 3/5 Rajath H. 1 year ago on Google
    We celebrated the new years at Executive Order and booked a table for our large group. Had a great experience with the ambience, drinks, food etc. A big call-out for the great cocktails we had. I'm giving 3 stars due to the rude DJ at the New Years party. The DJ played outdated songs and was extremely rude to even take 1 song request. In addition, he was asking for money for song requests. This place can do better with the music / DJ.

  • 5/5 Sam B. 1 year ago on Google
    The drinks were well priced with very friendly staff. I really liked the the environment was relaxed.

  • 5/5 Angus J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere and location for a cocktail and a light meal, crispy roast brussels sprouts and buffalo wings were excellent.

  • 3/5 1John 2. 1 year ago on Google
    The 3rd star is for the venue space. I had $14 chicken wings that were just warm and lacked flavor.

  • 4/5 Lone S. 2 years ago on Google
    Sleek, VIP-feel bar & lounge with very friendly staff. Drinks were great and space is excellent for events/hanging out. On this particular night, for an event, lines were long (probably due to staff shortages hitting all restaurants/bars) — but otherwise great experience

  • 4/5 Geoffrey S. 1 year ago on Google
    Was Attending an event here. The place was packed, but it’s a large venue so there was still room to move around.

  • 5/5 Liz G. 1 year ago on Google
    We loved the DJ for Happy hour. Great food and drinks in a great vibe. Definitely returning!!

  • 4/5 Gavin D. 1 year ago on Google
    Pleasantly high ceilings and competent bartending. Notable for its proximity to the Metreon and Moscone Center. (Classic cocktail aficionados should walk two blocks to House of Shields)

  • 5/5 JGL 1 year ago on Google
    Love the presidential themed bar. They have some unique cocktails and good bar food. The main courses are not huge, but the prices are reasonable. Expect to spend about 80-90 for two people.

  • 5/5 Ting H. 2 years ago on Google
    Super good food, amazing atmosphere, and cocktails are also fantastic. Customer service is very great.

  • 4/5 Daniela A. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a great time with friends very friendly service. Food and drinks very good. If you sit by the door is very drafty and cold hence 4 star rating.

  • 5/5 Andrew J. 2 years ago on Google
    My friends and I came here on a normal Friday night without a reservation and were still able to get a seat! During covid, they limited their seating but were still able to accommodate us. The music was super chill, the staff were nice, and the drinks were good. It definitely has a more classy vibe than most bars I go to. I can't wait to come here again for one of their comedy shows!
