If you’re on Clement looking for a drink go to 540. Great beer, better cocktails. It’s Home away from home

Came here for a night cap. Used to come here a lot before the ownership change and remodel. Boy has it spiffy up. It no longer got the "dive" bar feeling. It's a nice bar to hang out and chill with friends. No more pool table but they got pinball machines.

Really loving how they renovated the space. Same delicious drinks and friendly bartenders with a warm and welcoming environment. The arcade games are fun and the bartenders make great drinks. Great for a post work happy hour or night out with friends.

Great reboot of a neighborhood favorite of mine. I thought for sure it was a goner but former staff took over and turned the 540 into 540 Rogues. Still the same charm, and you can still get a cheap PBR along with other local brews and liquor, but now with less grimy bathrooms! Really a win all-around

Best bar in town. I felt at home right away, you are immediately treated like family. The movie selection is awesome. I miss the 540 Rogues in Düsseldorf, Germany. Greetings to all!!!

Went there for a 49ers game and had a great time. We were able to bring food from outside. Amanda was great and knows her cocktails and beers very well. Definitely would go there again.

I live in the area and for years I said to myself that I wished there was a good local bar. Each one I tried (Blarney Stone, Hockey Haven, Bitter End) had some good attributes but none felt -- homey. But the last time I went to the 540, I realized it had become my preferred go-to, because: it's about the people. Locals frequent it, no techbros, no attitude, just regular regulars. It's owner-operated with a small staff that you can get to know over time (Kevin & Ben stand out), although there have been adds and drops. Friendly, fast, and courteous. Full-service bar, a lot of choices on draft, and one bespoke, rotating cocktail on tap at all times. You can get an industry special beer & shot for $10. Or, a Mystery Shot for $5. I tried it a few times and all were winners. This is not a guarantee. There's outdoor seating in a small patio facing Clement St., 2-3 tables and almost always one is available. It was good in its previous incarnation that didn't survive the pandemic shutdown. But now it is remodeled in a way that respected the previous layout while upgrading the facilities, and the new owners have created a vibe that's accepting and chill. It's my local.

Super cool bar in the hood! Great food, drinks and service. Owner Chris is a local and super nice. Bar screens to watch your favorite sports and pinball machines! Back to the 80's with arcade fun! Lots of laughs and fun to be had here. Like Cheers where everybody knows your name.

Noticed some pinball machines in here during a stroll after the Clement St Farmer's Market. Didn't have a drink, but the place was clean and looked like a great dive bar. Pinball machines were new and in good condition, they took dollar bills and the place even had a quarter machine. Will be back!

We came here after the Tuesday pop-up of Maillards Burgers down the street at Heritage. (which you should definitely check out if you like burgers) Loves this bar, they were playing the Smiths, the Cure, New Order, all my favs. The bartender Amelia was a sweetie and make us lovely cocktails. It is nicer inside than it looks from the outside.

Came in to get an Irish coffee. The bartender gave me some other drink and charged me $20. When I told her it wasn't an Irish coffee, she wouldn't believe me when I told her how to make one with Jameson (or Irish whiskey), sugar, coffee with a cream floater. The place is full of depressed workers and people.

Awesome dive bar with classic games and a modern jukebox you can pick a tune from. Bartender is welcoming and friendly. One of the few places I've been that have Death and Taxes beer. Love their inclusivity sign for the bathroom. Lots of TVs. Wouldn't mind coming here again to chill or catch a sports game.

This is a classic dive bar. Good drinks. But not for an early date night. Kind of a place you end up after a few cocktails that's comfortable. When I came out was around 630 so drinks and service was super quick.

I was waiting for my order or dumplings to be ready and I figured I get a pint. It was my first time in 540 and I enjoyed my wait. I'll have to come back in the PM but I must say the bartender working the mid shift was great. There were planets of tv s to catch any sporting event or in this case an odd but fun mix of Star Wars and the Kentucky Derby. Cheers

540 Rogues is a new bar and hangout in the Richmond on Clement St. The space is modern, chic and very welcoming. On the evening I first visited, they had a taco truck outside and DJ -- they have cool things planned for other nights. The bar is very spacious with ample seating. It's a great place for pre-dinner or post-dinner drinks, or to bring a group. The space was very clean (including the bathrooms). There are TVs all around for catching the game, and special deals when the Giants are playing. We tried one of their draft beers -- super fresh and satisfying. With the large space, the bar has added a great selection of arcade games, some retro and some more current. There's also a juke box to select your favorite tunes from. A new neighborhood favorite!

Inclusive, welcoming bar that helps to create a community vibe. Potlucks, chili cook off contests and neat art shows. Also welcoming to out of towners, folks new to the hood, and anyone looking for a well made drink, or a beer and a shot. A true SF bar where you might just meet an old hippie, a down to earth tech bro, a townie, a transplant, a punk rock legend, or your new best friend. Real SF.

Its beautiful to be back. The space is restored, but they kept everything that hadn't rotted away. The bartop, they kept. The back-bar, they refurbished. The ceiling, that gorgeous ceiling that nobody had ever seen? You can see it. The mosaics formerly hinted at in the floor are clean and clear. The bathrooms? Finally usable, but soon to be covered up with stickers, I'm sure. The front window that never opened? They took out the dart board and put in some stools and now you sit in front of the window looking at Clement Street with the fog blowing in whorls. You still can't smoke on the patio (and I remember the days when you could, when I'd sit and drink with the Australian writer and smoke American Spirits Green Label and grade papers), but you can order from your phone. The pool table is gone, and in its place are arcade machines: Marvel vs Capcom, Area 51, Tetris! What's still there are the bones: A nice place to drink, loud punk music, friendly folks in the room, bartenders who are as comfortable with a shot and a beer as they are with a luscious Manhattan. They take credit cards now, and PBR is 4$ instead of the 2 it used to be, but goddamn, it feels like the 540 Club that was my home for years. It feels like the place I spent the pandemic mourning. Stepping in was the first moment of immersion in a steam room, the chill in my bones that I hadn't realized was there melting away with a cold beer and a tepid whiskey. Its beautiful to be back, and nice to be home, and as casualty of the pandemic raises from the dead, I feel slightly more alive among the now blue walls, wit the loud punk music blasting, with my friends behind the bar. As we used to chant long ago, back when there were still dollar drink Mondays, Tim Lincecum popping in, and Friday Night Happy Hours that crackled with joy and life: 540 Pride till' you fucking die!

Best staff. Great atmosphere. A real SF dive classic if just want a shot and a beer and no BS.

Great drinks, great service, good vibes, awesome art shows and events. It's the spot I go to when I need a pick me up or to see a friendly face. Happy this is my neighborhood bar!

The new owners did an amazing job remodeling while keeping a welcoming neighborhood vibe. It's clean with great bartenders. It's rad to see a spot that shuttered and has been reborn.

This is a nice big space. Lots of seating. Games in the back. A cute little seating area in the front. Amelia is the best bartender and is super friendly! Overall super good vibes

The bartender Jack came up with some crazy overcharge random amount to charge my card for 1 cheap shot, 1 beer for 2 of us and took a $20 tip for himself for not closing out my card by mistake..He knew who we were and had become regulars there in the past few months and tipped him very well...Has totally put me off the place...We wont be back

Living in the inner Richmond for almost 12 years and being an alcoholic, one becomes a regular at all the bars . I used to come to this bar , pre plandemic, at least once a week . I never felt cool enough for this place . Even though the patrons were "cool", like, 15 years ago. That's how not cool I am. Anyway. Long story short. Even though I still not cool enough for this place( or any to be honest) , a mix of the old crew with a mix of the new crew makes me feel cool ! And isn't that what capitalism is all about ? Highly recommend. Good well drinks , great drafts , and the bartenders are easy On the eyes !!! Also, you can get a hair cut next door , pretty convenient if you ask a functioning alcoholic.

Great bar excellent staff as the bartenders are also the owners and seem to go to great lengths to make it a clean and great atmosphere- the cocktails are way above par and the service quick and efficient as these folks have been in the game for awhile some as far back as blur . They often have neighborhood like events such as a Mac and cheese contest. Ample room , great door guy and affordable beers. Also a small arcade and even a 2011 megatouch machine. Best bar in the area - highly recommended. Also they usually have great punk music as a backdrop.

I like I like. After a show at Neck of The Woods, happened to stumble across this chill bar. Popped in for a drink and was impressed with the vibe. Chill place with a few arcade games in the back. The bartender was cool. If you're in the neighborhood, this is the place to be.

Rare when a business changes hands and improves, but the 540 is better than ever. They gotta little pop up thing going on food wise that's amazing.
