Sam Jordan's Bar and Grill to close after 60 years in SF
Sam Jordan's Bar and Grill will close after six decades in the Bayview District in San Francisco. It's the oldest African-American owned bar in the city.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- It's almost time for last call at Sam Jordan's Bar and Grill in the Bayview.



Sam's is the oldest African-American owned bar in San Francisco.



But it's been struggling financially.

The owners say they tried happy hour specials, live music - even landmark status.



But that is not enough to keep up with costs.



After 60 years, Sam Jordan's will serve its final customers on November 2.
