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
