Welcome to our FAQ page. Here we hope to answer any questions that you might have before visiting. Please feel free to give us a call during our business hours for any additional questions you might have.
Should i bring my I.D.?
Yes, YES, and, once again, YES!!!!!!!!!! It is Heinold’s policy, in compliance with California Business & Professions Code sections 25659 and 25660 that everyone on the licensed premises be 21 years old or over and have a valid I.D. on their person. If you left your home with a credit card, you should have also left your home with a valid I.D. If you left your home with your cell phone, you should have also left your home with a valid I.D. You can’t buy alcohol at BevMo, our neighbor here in Jack London Square, without a valid I.D.
Should i bring my family?
First and foremost: under the California Constitution and Business & Profession Code, no one under 21 is allowed on our licensed premises. That includes both inside the Saloon and on our outdoors patio. This is California state law and is observed at all times. No exceptions. Ever.
Aside from the age restriction, Heinold’s offers a unique history that anyone over the age of 21 years can appreciate and enjoy. A true relic of it’s time, it’s frequented by locals and travelers alike to this day. Great for everyone over 21!
Dogs & Service animals:
We LOVE dogs. Unfortunately, California law does NOT allow our pawed pets inside of the saloon, except when ordering. You will find we have everything to accommodate dogs outside on our patio including water bowls, free treats, belly rubs and the occasional friend to play with.
Reservations and Parties:
Large groups are absolutely welcome at Heinold's, but due to the small nature of our bar we do not take reservations. Two of our outdoor tables seat six, and the rest between three and four. We do highly encourage any group you might deem "large" to call ahead and let the bar tender(s) know when you'll be arriving. Remember, if you are in a large group, it will take a little longer for our staff to serve all of you.
