MM reader Billy L. lives just a few doors down from the 500 Club, which as you may or may not know is getting a makeover, and fills us in on the progress:
But don’t worry purists, it appears they’re just fortifying the back bar (or maybe that’s just today’s project). The bar is scheduled to re-open on Friday. Until then, the fine folks there have been nice enough to provide us with alternative solutions for getting our swerve on. Cheers to that.
Which other like-minded, early-opening bars make the 500′s suggestion list? Will they still (not) be open at 6am?
The answers, plus what may be your last-ever look at the iconic bar, after the jump . . .
Ah, the Kilowatt and Zeitgeist. Should have guessed! No love for Bender’s, though?
What will the new 500 Club look like? Will there still be Sunday karaoke?
. The bar is scheduled […]</p>

Hopefully they will address the stench that creeps from under the womens room door.
First Zeitgiest, now 500 Club! What old, rowdy bar will be the next to get renovated?
maybe they’ll find some more XL’s of those fine 500 Club/SF Giants shirts…..
Sorry, dude, I got yours. It kinda smells like me, now.
Poops needs it badly. And the spelling was intentional.
Nailed it. Pops and 500 club are definitely the bars that smell the most like butts in the Mission.
for fraks sake…the bar bathrooms smell like poop because the sewage system bites big poopy balls of poop.
‘sides, stinky bathrooms keep non-tipping bitchy customers away. and keeps all the lovely non-tipping regulars in the joint safe and sound from the scary scary outside world.
city sewage, not the bars. poops, i forgot to say that…
