There are about 1,000 members of the Gotham Club, and a waiting list a mile long. They only admit about 25 new members each year, and they’re almost always referrals.
Members sit at the bar and enjoy their drinks inside the Gotham Club at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Friday, Sept. 29, 2023. The synthetic rubber of the outfield warning track crumbles beneath your shoes and every 10 seconds or so, the crack of the bat goes off like clockwork. Heads tilt. The ball soars. Sometimes, it flies right over your head.
It’s a fenced off area of the warning track nestled against the right-field wall and it’s big enough for 15 or 20 people to stand against, watch pregame warmups and, for a minute or two, get lost in the fantasy of being a professional baseball player. The Gotham Club opened in 2013, when the Giants formed the exclusive fan club in hopes to provide a luxurious experience.
The Gotham Club logo adorns the wall above a two-lane bowling alley at the Gotham Club at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Friday, Sept. 29, 2023. “But we couldn’t see the field,” Johnson said. There are vintage posters and original photographs on the wall. The bar serves drinks such as the Polo Grounds Manhattan, the Humm Baby, the Kayak on the Water and, the most popular drink, the No. 24.
“The regulars, we all love the Giants, so you can sit there and chat and it’s a nice feeling, a nice way to make friends,” DelCarlo said. “You can sit down and talk to almost anybody.”“Sometimes you get Dodger fans in here,” she said. “People invite their friends.” A fourth-generation San Franciscan and a season-ticket holder since 1987, Pantages once dreamed of working for the team one day. In 2003, it came true.
