  3. DrinkBar

    Heinold's First and Last Chance Saloon

    An old-fashioned saloon dating all the way to the 1880s. The building is fashioned out of the remnants of a ship with a bar that tilted from one of the earthquakes and was never repaired. Purported to have been a frequent stop for a young Jack London.

    A chill bar with the aesthetic of a bookstore. The walls are lined with shelves of books for sale, and some visitors play chess at their tables. Popular for a date or for a night out in a calming, friendly atmosphere.
