Town Bar & Lounge Gay Oakland Details
Town Bar & Lounge is giving you serious Art Deco chic with a QPOC twist! Located in the heart of Uptown Oakland, this swanky spot draws its design inspo from the legendary I. Magnin & Co. building—think luxe gold accents, cushy velvet seating, and vibes that scream sophistication and inclusivity. Whether you’re in the mood to sip, socialize, or both, Town’s got you covered.
Their seven signature cocktails are rainbow dreams come true, handcrafted by the genius mixologist Oscar Sinisterra from Hello Stranger. These drinks don’t just taste good—they’ve got names you’ll want to drop into casual conversation, like Afternoon Delight, Fashion Forward, and Green Eyes Envy Me (because who doesn’t want a little cocktail-induced envy?). At Town, it's all about vibrant community energy, a dash of elegance, and a whole lot of belonging. Unwind, get comfy, and let the rainbow drinks flow!
