Sam Jordan's Bar is a black-owned bar located on 3rd Street in Bayview that opened in 1959. The space includes a traditional bar counter, dining tables, a jukebox, a restaurant section serving barbecue, and areas that can be used for events and celebrations.

The bar was established in 1959 by Sam Jordan, a light-heavyweight boxer and World War II veteran, making it San Francisco's oldest African American-owned bar. The building received landmark designation in 2013, solidifying its place in the city's history.

The establishment served as a gathering place where residents of Bayview came together for food, drinks, and community bonds over many decades. This role as a neighborhood meeting point shaped the social fabric of the area.

The bar is easy to find on 3rd Street and has parking available nearby. The interior is welcoming to visitors looking for a straightforward experience, with clear sections for dining, drinking, and socializing.

In 2013, the city renamed a section of Galvez Avenue to Sam Jordan's Way as recognition of the venue's importance to the neighborhood. This street name serves as a daily reminder of the place's role in local history.
