Excellent news! Remember how sad we all were when Pop’s got busted for doing DJ nights under the radar? Such a bummer!
But a new era is about to begin. Mission Local reports:
The historic bar’s new owner, Michael Krouse, who also owns Madrone on Divisadero, applied for a permit to have a full entertainment license, meaning the bar could legally offer its patrons live bands and DJs. With some conditions, the commission unanimously approved the change of use.
“Pop’s Bar has been around for 79 years, and through 11 owners; our goal is to continue that tradition of a great neighborhood bar,” said Krouse, who bought the bar last fall. “We want to complement the district with a variety of music and entertainment options.”
The change of use was greeted with no opposing public commentary. Erick Arguello, of Calle 24, shared with the commission that he’s been working closely with Krouse, who has been responsive to most of the merchant association’s concerns.
“As a Latino Cultural District, we’ve talked about how they are accommodating us by playing once or twice a week Salsa, Cumbia, Reggaeton or other Latino music to connect with the existing community in the area,” Arguello said.

Eat shit Arguello.

Poop.
Are they outfitting the new bar staff with bullet-proof vests?
is that a threat or a comment on the state of the neighborhood?
if its a threat then you should be reported.
if its a comment on the state of the neighborhood then you need glasses because no one shoots white people in those parts. now if the bartenders where brown……#brownlifesmatter
… BUT ITS NOT THE SAME!
*stomps away*
Pop’s Will Eat Itself. Not commenting on the situation or anything, just started thinking about a great band and had a brain fart.
“No opposing public commentary”?
Apparently the woman across the street who is constantly screaming at people standing outside to “shut the fuuuuck upppppppp” didn’t know about the public hearing.
Arguello and his friends are extortionists
great news! screw all you haters who can’t act right. this hood is already settled. keep your modern colonialism and bad attitudes to yourselves.
If there is one thing the mission desperately needs, it’s DJ nights.
