Doch bevor es soweit ist, sollte man das Lokal genießen. Die Drinks sind gut, und man kommt leicht mit den anderen Gästen ins Gespräch. Von der Vielzahl an Lederjacken und Harleys sollte man sich keineswegs abschrecken lassen - hier fühlen sich nicht nur Motorradfreaks wohl. Es gibt eine Veranda, auf der gegrillt und Livemusik gespielt wird. Das Beste an dieser Institution jedoch ist, dass man gleich nach dem Aufstehen mit dem gleichen Programm nochmal beginnen kann.
This historic bar is full of stories, character, and charm. Once a place Jack London himself would frequent to drink and write, the story is that the famous author borrowed his college entrance fee from the bar's proprietor.

Its name derives from the old days when it was the only bar at the Port of Oakland. Each day as laborers would take the ferry to San Francisco and back again, this was the first and last chance for the working man to grab a drink. The bar serves only beverages and distributes literature on its history.
