F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
