Oakland

East Bay soul — a classic tobacconist and neighborhood smoke, The Town way.

Oakland keeps it old-school: a beloved tobacconist up on Glen Avenue by Piedmont Ave, and a working smoke shop on International. The Town's lounge scene is still growing — that's where the family comes in. Know a spot we're missing? Put it on the map. The wider Bay (San Francisco, San Mateo, Fremont) has its own page.

Plan Your Visit

Where to Stay

  • Downtown / Jack London Square — central to everything, BART at your door.
  • Piedmont Ave — stay near the shops and stroll to Glen Avenue.
  • Airport corridor — Oakland International is 15 minutes from both spots.
  • Hotel partner links go here — a natural sponsorship slot.

Getting Around

  • Flying in: OAK is the easy Bay airport — 15 minutes to downtown.
  • BART links Oakland, San Francisco and Fremont lounges without a car.
  • Rideshare for International Blvd nights.
  • Parking easier than San Francisco — one of Oakland's charms.
