Heinold’s First and Last Chance - Oakland, California
Have a cocktail at Heinold’s First and Last Chance Bar at Jack London Square in Oakland, California.
The First and Last Chance has been in continuous operation since June 1883. It was opened at that time by Johnnie Heinold who was the proprietor until 1939 at which time his son George took over and then in 1969, George’s wife Margaret continued the tradition until 1984 when Carol Brookman became proprietor. She knows the history of the century old, world renowned saloon that has echoed the footsteps and voices of noted Americans, authors, artists, statesmen, and politicians. Carol is an on-site proprietor and has experience in the business. Her charm and repertoire calls memories of the founding Heinolds and other noted men who have served drinks to the famous, some not so famous, and the unknown for a “hundred years”. She is determined to preserve the in and outward décor of the oldest and most historic treasure of Jack London Square.
