What Happened to Park 77 After Bar Rescue? (San Francisco, CA)

Park 77 was a bar in the Parkmerced Shopping Center near San Francisco State University, opened in 2011. On the episode "Sticky Situation" (aired 2015-06-21), the bar was shown struggling under an owner whose approach to running the business drew sharp criticism from host Jon Taffer during the rescue, in one of the more contentious owner exchanges the show has aired. As part of the remodel, Taffer renamed the bar The Lister after Dr. Frederic Lister Burk, the founding president of San Francisco State University, aiming to connect the venue more directly with the nearby student and campus community.

The relaunch included a redesigned interior and the addition of an outdoor beer garden. The Lister kept its new name and continued operating in the Parkmerced Shopping Center for several years after the rescue aired, drawing a mix of students, campus-area residents and sports-watching customers. Despite the redesign, The Lister closed in early 2021. The Cambon Drive space did not sit empty for long. According to an October 2025 report from What Now San Francisco, local operators Fearghal McEleney and Kayla Johnson filed a liquor license application to open a new concept, Mister G's Sports Bar, at 77 Cambon Drive, the former Lister site.

The report described plans for nine televisions and a sports-focused atmosphere aimed at the student and local game-day crowd, with the operators still weighing whether to add an on-site food menu given nearby options such as Taqueria Dos Charros and Hall of Flame Burger & Breakfast. At the time of that report, Mister G's Sports Bar was targeting a mid-December 2025 opening. WhatNow San Francisco's October 21, 2025 report also stated that The Lister, the bar that had operated at the address as Park 77's successor, closed in early 2021. Because that bar closed more than four years before Mister G's Sports Bar was announced as a new concept under its own liquor license application, the business featured on Bar Rescue is no longer operating, whatever becomes of the new sports bar.
