Heinold’s First and Last Chance Bar

Heinold’s First and Last Chance Bar has been in continuous operation since June 1883. Built over a century ago from the remnants of an old whaling ship, and first used as a bunk house for the men working the oyster beds off the east shore of the San Francisco Bay and located at the foot of Webster Street on the waterfront of Oakland, stands a small one story shack of a building, unique in construction and famous for memories.
