I'm an official East Bay resident!!! I shamefully admit that it took me five years to get here. I thank Lorrayne L. for inviting me to her 35th birthday shindig, which started at the New Parkway and culminated here. Great itinerary! So not only did I get to experience this unique and fun bar, I did so with many new and old YELP Elite friends. How fun is that?!
I love that Heinold's looks like something out of the Wild Wild West. It could have been a bar in Bodie (the best preserved ghost town in California). The slanted floor (not done purposely, but the result of earthquakes) reminded me of my long ago visit to the Winchester Mystery House too.
Drank bottomless vodka martinis (thanks, Markus N!) out of a plastic cup and wandered outdoors to enjoy the sunny afternoon on the patio. It was a perfect Saturday afternoon in Jack London Square :)
Great place for a drink and to experience "real history" of an era gone by. Â Lots of interesting info on Jack London and this area of Oakland. Â You can have a nice drink inside or out. Â Very information bartender as well. Â A must see in the Jack London Square region. Â We will be back.
