The Trap, originally known as the Ingleside Saloon, is a historic bar in Sacramento, California. It is one of the city's oldest continuously operated businesses and the oldest surviving structure in the city's Pocket-Greenhaven neighborhood.[1][2] In 2009, the City of Sacramento designated The Trap a historical landmark, noting that the building is one of the oldest and last remaining structures associated with the Portuguese agricultural community that were among the first settlers of the Pocket-Greenhaven neighborhood.[1]
The Trap claims to be the oldest bar in Sacramento.[3] The Sacramento Bee documents the Ingleside Saloon opening on October 2, 1897.[4] In 1964, a new owner changed the name to The Trap.[5] According to a local historian, a drinking establishment has been located at the same address since the 1880s.[5]
