For Once, Your Favorite Mission Bar Is Not About to Close - Eater SF
"The 500 Club, a classic Mission bar, is facing a zoning variance hearing to split its lot into two smaller parcels. Owner Ali Razavi assures patrons that the bar is not closing but is seeking to refinance loans to keep the business viable amid the public health crisis. The bar has been temporarily shuttered for nearly a year due to COVID-19 restrictions. Razavi emphasizes that there are no plans to close, remodel, or turn the bar into condos." - Adam Brinklow
