Heinold's is just the best, most incredible little bar if you are into bay area history, lore, and a historic, unique atmosphere. There's no place quite like this, even in San Francisco. You owe it to yourself to at least check it out... sit down at the very, very crooked, lopsided bar, order and drink from one of the friendly, courteous bartenders (Donnie is very cool and knowledgeable about the bay area bar scene), and soak in the history surrounding you. Kudos also go out to the current owner who bought it from the original Heinold family back in the 80's. She has purposefully kept the bar exactly the way it was and it's charm and historical significance remain intact. HIGHLY recommended!
Pros: atmospheric, historic, friendly, fun
Cons: none, none, none

I took my dad, a WWII vet, to this historic bar and he loved it. They have hats tackjed to the ceiling from many of the ships that left from the port during the war. With a tiny slooped bar and great staff I always bring of out towers to see this place.
Pros: lot parking, restaurants nearby

I love this place - besides the hilarity of such a tiny tiny bar, the staff is past cool, the tap is full of great beers, and you can sit outside and watch the sunset or enjoy a breezy day by the waterfront. And the historical piece is awesome too. The perfect place to enjoy Oakland.
