Town Tavern
Town Tavern offers a social environment with great drinks and bites. Specialty cocktails lean on East Bay spirits, including those from Wright & Brown Distilling and Oakland Spirits Co. The small plate menu includes fried-to-order chicharrones, bacon pierogi, bison poutine, New Orleans-style barbecued shrimp, and pork belly sliders loosely inspired by Taiwanese gua bao.
The 49-seat space is family-friendly until 10:00pm. Town Tavern then remains open late for the 21+ crowd.
Marley G’s Pizzeria
Marley G’s serves specialty pies, whole or by the slice. The rotating menu also includes tasty Italian subs, salads, stromboli, and calzones.
Created by the same team behind Scolari’s Good Eats, Marley G’s brings a taste of North Jersey to the Bay.
