History

It was founded by Sam Jordan, a light-heavyweight boxer and U. S. Navy World War II veteran. Jordan won the championship diamond belt in 1948. For 60 years the bar served as a gathering place for Bayview's community, and it was the oldest black-owned bar in the city. The space served as a bar, a barbecue restaurant, and a nightclub.
Sam Jordan's Bar appeared on the television series Bar Rescue in 2016, and received a remodel. It closed in November 2019, after financially struggling for many years.
