Jurgensen's Saloon

This business was presided over by the owner, Mr. Jurgensen, who dressed in an elaborately decorated jacket as he served his guests. Among the many customers who often frequented this bar was the world famous author, Jack London, who lived in a houseboat on the waterfront near the Saloon. London's "Tales of the Fish Patrol" and "John Barleycorn" were based on his personal experiences in this area.
