In the morning, from 7 to 10:30 a.m., The Bank is open to the public, allowing anyone to drop in for Verve Coffee Roasters’ beverages and Maison Nico’s pastries. From 11 a.m. onward, it’s members-only with a limited menu of three sandwiches and two salads available for lunch.

In the evenings, The Bank at Amador is a vibrant bar and lounge offering extensive cocktails, including three types of martinis, two sherry libations, a black walnut Manhattan and a bloody mary with sriracha. Hungry clubgoers can nosh on raw bar items, such as shrimp cocktail and ahi tuna poke, as well as larger bites like beef tartare, meatballs and chicken skewers. Live music and DJ sets are also on the agenda, along with exclusive programming and special events, including networking and cultural experiences.
Giannini was a noted philanthropist, and The Bank at Amador follows in his footsteps, donating a portion of membership proceeds to nonprofits in the fields of medical education and the arts.

“Opening The Bank at Amador marks an exciting new chapter for our club and the city,” says CEO Jon D’Angelica. “We’re thrilled to contribute to the revitalization of downtown while providing a gathering place for both our members and the broader San Francisco community. Even more rewarding is that we can honor the legendary spirit of Amadeo Giannini and this historic space, while creating a club that is welcoming, vibrant and truly reflective of the city’s diverse and dynamic culture.”
