    Absolutely beautiful inside! The decor is simple yet striking! The bartenders are so kind and attentive, so sad I can't remember their names, but they were awesome! Drinks are a bit strong, so you're definitely getting your moneys worth!

    Service 9/10 Food 7/10 Environment 10/10 Executive Order Bar & Lounge is an awesome spot for cocktails and a laid-back vibe. The dim lighting and stylish decor set the mood, and there's plenty of seating, plus a pool table and a live DJ to keep things lively. The cocktails are flavorful, with plenty of classics done right. We hosted a private event here for about 30 people, and they sectioned off a space for us and served food. The menu looked great overall, but while the sliders were a little dry, the pizza was fantastic, and the rest of the food was solid for a bar. Honestly, I didn't come in expecting much from the food, but it was better than I thought it would be. The service stood out .. super friendly, easy to get a hold of, and I appreciated how upfront they were about gratuity being included. If you're looking for a chill lounge with great drinks, decent food, and a fun vibe, this place is worth a visit.

    Ceiling decorations, there's an upstairs area as well I think

    Loved the aesthetic of the bar, dark but elevated. Great for small parties of people, they have small areas that can be reserved. Didn't get busy til after 10pm. I didn't even know this bar existed across from Metreon! Paid parking is available in their garage, nothing too crazy. I think it was $16 for 4 hours or something like that. Food was awesome, chicken sandwich sliders were filling. Garlic fries were very garlicky -- bring some gum or a mouth spray. Drinks were great, Hannah the bartender was kind and personable.

    Somehow all roads and streets puts me on Mission street this Autumn for drinks and food. It's seems all these San Francisco streets leads me to Mission street whether drinking on streets ( celebrations happen) or in a restaurant and venue. This time I ended up at Executive Order as a side trip at private events during SF Tech Week and then also later in the week again for SF Tech Week event .Inside the Executive Order it is more of a lounge and the decor honors the past USA Presidents such as George Washington , Abraham Lincoln and other Dead Presidents. The layout has many different areas to enjoy a drink and food with plenty of seating . There is a pool table and also a full stacked bar that serves many different types of drinks along with some descent bar food. I ordered the Buffalo chicken wings which were tasty with a good ranch sauce dip. The Truffle Mac 'n'Cheese bites had a good macaroni and truffle taste and with the right amount of cheese. They also offer lots of mixed drinks and I enjoyed their Ube -Quit-US drink. During my pit stop I seen and talked with the President of San Francisco ( President of the Board of Supervisors of San Francisco). I also saw my middle school gym teacher. You never know who you will run into on Mission street. This is a good venue to enjoy a drink and to lounge in Downtown San Francisco.

    Upon entering Executive Order, I felt transported to Washington, d.c. It's such a creative space without being overly political where history meets happy hour. I tried the Warhawk cocktail here, and it tasted refreshing and lightly citrusy. The prices are a bit steep but still less expensive and way better quality and value than getting a drink at the club. If you're looking for a bar with an East Coast vibe on the West Coast, then Executive Order is for you.

    Cool drinking spot near the Metreon. Some friends of mine and I swung by this joint after catching a flick on IMAX. Very decent. I love dark bars with lots of wood and leather. It seems like something out of the movies. Definitely a good place for friends or a date. Full bar and price was okay. One small ding, our bartender didn't drink so could not make any drink suggestions. Some pics for the curious.

    I came here for a after work gathering/event. I was pleased to learn that the bar was located right next to the Westfield mall I had never noticed it and i don't know why because it was pretty cool. The ambience in itself is spectacular with high ceilings and very nice lounge furniture. It had a way of making you feel at home while also being a space outside of your home that you could go to and relax with friends at and grab a drink. the drinks were delicious I personally got a virgin Paloma because I had to drive home. Regardless, I could already tell that this drink would've been the bomb.com. If I had gotten alcohol in it, I watch them make the drink as well as other friends and they definitely don't do the bare minimum when prepping this drink. I'm pretty familiar with the bartending world as I once was a bartender for a fun little period of time. Furthermore, I feel like typically when you go to a really good drink spot the food just doesn't match up. that is not the case for this place at all if anything, the food was a highlight for me. I have to highly commend the truffle mac & cheese bites, and the buffalo cauliflower that was perfectly fried not over fried and perfectly melted . The ranch was a special ranch which always gets my heart. The vegan sliders were delicious as well as the chicken fried sliders. I will have to say though I wish they did add more sauce on the chicken fried sliders, although they were perfectly cooked. I dipped in the ranch and buffalo sauce and that did the trick. fries were a solid five out of five I would definitely get these again. The pizza was delicious but didn't blow my mind. I used to live in North Beach so I feel like I have a higher bar for good pizza, but great pizza and this was great pizza. I would give it a four out of five. I would get this again. The service was really kind and they kept checking in on us at the event. I would definitely recommend if you were thinking of hosting a corporate event to do it here. there was another event going on at the same time, for I think the University of Hawaii graduates and some convention that they were having but it seems to be a very popular place for this sort of stuff and I don't blame them. It was delicious I would definitely come back.

    Came here for a company event and honestly this place was bonkers beyond expected. I was astouned by the quality of the food/appetizers, the buffalo cauliflower, sliders, truffle fries, chicken wings, and even how they had lumpia. The cocktail menu was also very extensive and creative. I ended up getting a few mocktails and cocktails. The ube colada was amazing - ended up ordering multiple times, and the mango colada was a close second. I got the jacqueline as well (their signature cocktail) and it went down so smoothly it didn't even taste like alcohol.

    If you are still contemplating, this is your sign to book and come through! I had the best experience booking and hosting my partner's 30th birthday party with about 35 guests altogether. The guests loved the food, drinks, music, and vibes!! Will definitely come by again soon.  CHOOSING EXECUTIVE ORDER: One month prior to the event, I was searching for a venue that suited our needs for food, drinks, music, vibe, and pricing. I had been researching 20+ places including Executive Order. Once I heard back from them with the details and options for my event, I knew they were the one! I had specific requirements that I wanted for this event and the owner was extremely helpful, open, and responsive to all of my inquiries. There was never a moment of uncertainty since they presented me with so many options for food /catering and beverages for that night that were clearly outlined in our email communications. Expectations could not have been clearer. AN UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT: From the initial event booking inquiry until even an hour after our space rental had ended, the staff were the most kind and attentive to our large group. The staff went above and beyond in checking in with me upon arrival one hour before our event and until one hour after the event. They had the space prepared for me more than one hour in advance and helped me setup! Truly grateful for their compassion and willingness to go above what was asked of them for that night. As the night began and guests arrived, they kept me updated with the status of the food coming out and the drink tab. They even helped me coordinate shots around the room to make a toast, light the birthday cake, and cut the beat for the music for us to sing happy birthday. A CLOSER LOOK INTO FOOD, DRINKS, MUSIC: FOOD: The food/catering was too easy to do - it is an excel sheet / google sheets! I strongly recommend the duck fat fries, buffalo wings, and sliders (turkey or chicken). All of it was a HIT. Guests ate it up and came asking me for more! DRINKS: The choice to opt into a pre-paid open bar was a no-brainer. All the guests had a great time ordering to their hearts desires and the bartenders were amazing in receiving all the guests and creating the drinks. Even though shots were the most popular, a few of the guests chose something off their drink menu which they told me was delicious as well. MUSIC: On the night of our event, there was a live DJ playing 90s hip-hop and R&B. The vibe was perfect for the scenery and the DJ was super supportive of our large group - taking requests and coordinating fade outs for us to have a celebratory moment filled with speeches, singing happy birthday, and cake blowing. And once our moment concluded, he played us out with a birthday banger, never missing a beat! Special thanks to John Eric, Dave, T, Ryan, DJ Mark, and the rest of the staff who made that a night to remember! I could not imagine the night going more smoothly.

    First time in San Francisco and this was one of the first stops on the itinerary(not planned by me) . This place had all the vibes ! We made reservations for our group of 6. This place seems like an awesome after work spot by judging the crowd . We came on a Thursday night and the DJ was ROCKKINNNNNN ! His mix was awesome & i didn't want to leave to go to dinner bc i was enjoying myself here . My first drink made by the bartender was a margarita. It was so tart and tasted like grapefruit juice. No garnish. No salt. Didn't even ask my choice of tequila. I took it back n asked a different bartender to remake it NICELY . He actually asked my choice of tequila and the typical margarita questions . I even noticed that they use fresh lemon juice which is fine but i think my first drink was all lemon juice and ice . The second drink was wayyyyy better !

    It's an experience. Adequate place to drink and get some work done while I wait for my movie at AMC. The bar is founding fathers themed, which results in cute drink names but a kinda weird vibe. The decor is swanky and the music is aggressively 'murican. It reminds me of like, a republican convention? I got two drinks - a president-themed cocktail, and a hot toddy. Presidential cocktail was good, hot toddy tasted like hot lemon juice (blech). Octopus with fries was mediocre, but I guess it was cheap.

The mushroom bahn mi sliders were amazing - the quality fillings and taste of the soft bun - I was unexpectedly hit with a bite of spice from maybe jalapeño seeds left but didn't sour my experience. The shishito peppers ended up being extremely spicy as well, those are usually just a few spicy and not the majority. The roasted lemon and salt was a wonderful combo but just too spicy to eat. However, the server very kindly removed it from our bill without us asking. We order the crostini because we were still hungry and that was an absolute hit. Delicious med-soft crostini with luscious berries and sweet honey. I didn't care my hands got sticky as it was soooo good! Great experience, I would be weary if the peppers as I'm a bit spice-intolerant but everything else was spot-on.

The club was set to close at 2am -- so they start getting everyone together and closing out tabs a 10 minutes or so before it actually closed. I finish my drink and gather my belongings to go to the restroom beforehand. It was occupied at the time ... so I decided not to worry anymore and walk back to my friends. As I'm doing so, I hear the guard rudely speaking to them and telling them to leave. I advised the man that the club was still open at the moment (they had about 5 mins left) and that we actually were heading out then. I also told him that he didn't have to speak to my friends like that - after he had just been joking around with them moments before. Instead of taking accountability, he immediately got an attitude with me and stated that he didn't care about that and it was time to go. Another female guard then popped up randomly and essentially told me to "fix my delivery" and that the man was her brother. To which I replied, that they were both ultimately in the wrong. I understand wanting to leave work but being rude and distasteful towards paying customers isn't the way to do jt. I hope they hire better employees it was a nice place!

There were only two service staff; we could tell they were working hard but they definitely needed more help. We made two trips to the bar and it took about 15-20 minutes to get service. Drinks were decent. A larger group arrived to the left of us, and about 20 minutes after they arrived, the male service worker told us we had to move cause our spot was reserved. Mind you, we'd been there for almost two hours at this point and nobody had mentioned anything about our spot being reserved, and there was no sign holder indicating it either. It was also advertised as a "no cover" event, so curious to know how reservations were even made. He told us we could move over to the wall; which we discovered was right next to the restrooms and the line of users. Not cool. We then noticed that the larger group had spread out and taken our spot; were we supposed to believe these were the supposed "reservation" holders and not just your friends? Overall, just another mediocre bar that caters to the people they know. Not much concern for new customers, so we have no interest in returning or recommending to anyone. Plenty of other bars in the city; better bars that won't make you feel inferior.
