Heinold's First & Last Chance Saloon

At this 1883 bar constructed from wood scavenged from an old whaling ship, you really have to hold on to your beer. Keeled to a severe slant during the 1906 earthquake, the building’s tilt might make you feel self-conscious about stumbling before you even order. Its big claim to fame is that adventure writer Jack London was a regular patron.
