First, I thought it's a tourist trap attracting customers with some "fake" historical value, but it's actually indeed a historic place. And it is connected to the Oakland history in many ways, so it is worth a visit. It's a nice place to have a...More
The Venue is tiny yet has a very cool vibe. The bar has a 45 degree slant because of the earthquake. Every item in the bar has a story. Great place to spend a hour having a conversation about Oakland's history
I love coming to this spot. I love the historic nature of the bar and all the cool things inside. Watch your step though cause the floor is a little slanted. The beers are really great and the bartenders are even better. On warm days,...More
We were in Oakland in the rain, so we stepped into the Saloon. The floor is uneven and slanted. The room is tiny, and the bar is original from the 1800's. Sitting down with an Irish coffee in this place is like traveling back in...More

The most bizarre bar I have ever been. Inside very small and everything is crooked. Nice interior which is completely filled with history. It is also still cozy despite the small amount of available space.
If you like history, you have to go here. Seeing a business still operating from a whaling boat and the earthquake of 1906 is cool.
