Heinold's First and Last Chance Saloon

Order “anything” since it’s so good. Love the atmosphere.

HFLC is the oldest dive bar in Oakland. This statement is really enough. When you are there have a chat with the bartender “Hutch” who has a vast amount of knowledge about the history of the bar.

I read about this place on Atlas Obscura and they said the floor and bar are off level by a couple feet from an earthquake over a hundred years ago and they just never got around to fixing it. That is some world class procrastination right there. I thought this might have been a little bit of hyperbole, until I walked in. It really is steep. I had a seat at the end of the bar and a few times as I set my beer down, it slid a little bit. Awesome. The service was friendly and they had decent beer on tap, but this place is all about the history and decor.

It's a different kind of bar! Wouldn't go for the drinks but definitely worth visiting for the historical significance. Loved the visiting cards, hats and pictures that make the interior decorations of Heinold's. There is good outdoor seating as well for a nice breezy day next to the Jack London Square bay.
