F.A.Q.

What is the minimum age allowed to enter Executive Order?

We are licensed by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to operate as a type 48 cocktail bar, lounge and nightclub. You must be 21 years or older with a valid, unexpired, physical, government-issued photo ID or passport to enter, drink and/or dine at Executive Order. Copies or photos on mobile phones of ID are not acceptable under CA ABC rules as copies or photos can be edited/manipulated. Only an actual state-issued physical ID will bear embedded security features we can check for authenticity. 

​

Are Service Animals welcome?

Yes. Service Animals are welcome inside our business. No paperwork or documentation is required. Under the City & County of San Francisco's Department of Environmental Health, which regulates Food Service Facilities' permits, in accordance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) rules, we are required to ask 2 questions: (1) Is the dog (or miniature horse) a service animal? and (2) What service is the dog (or miniature horse) trained to perform? Per the ADA, if a guest states that their animal is an "Emotional Support" animal and not a "Psychiatric Service Animal." this would *exclude* them from the trained, service animal distinction.
