HERFIO GUIDE
Where to Find Cigars & Cocktails in Oakland
In Oakland, cigars and drinks tend to come together around social clubs, rooftops, and specific nights rather than a row of traditional cigar bars.
THE SHORT VERSION
Fine Ashhh is the cleanest overlap between cigar culture and drinks. Around it, Oakland’s version of a cigar night tends to pop up at rooftops and hospitality venues for specific events, especially around Uptown and the waterfront.
Fine Ashhh Social Club
Uptown Oakland
The strongest current overlap of cigar culture and drinks in Oakland.
If you want the place in Oakland that actually feels built around cigar people, start here. Fine Ashhh gives Uptown a true social-club feel — the kind of stop where the cigar is part of the night, not an afterthought.

Uptown Oakland
Rooftop setting with recent cigar-event activity.
Torch is here for a different reason than the cigar shops: when Oakland turns cigars into an event, this Uptown rooftop has been part of the action. Check the night before heading over specifically to smoke.
Worth knowing: Event evidence only; verify ordinary-night cigar policy before going specifically to smoke.

Jack London District
Hospitality venue with recent cigar-event use.
Brickhouse brings the cigar scene down toward Jack London. It is not a dedicated cigar lounge, but it has hosted cigar nights and fits the part of Oakland where drinks, events, and the waterfront start blending together.
Worth knowing: Event evidence only.

Oakland Embarcadero
Waterfront lounge/restaurant with recent cigar-event activity.
Down by the Embarcadero, Train Station is more night-out than cigar shop. It earns a spot here because cigar events have actually happened here — just do not assume every regular night is a cigar night.
Worth knowing: Event evidence only.

Old Oakland
Old Oakland event venue with current independent evidence of an outdoor cigar lounge at select events.
811 belongs on the Oakland map for its event nights, not because it is a cigar lounge every day. A recent block party here built in an outdoor cigar lounge and told guests to bring their sticks — exactly the kind of Oakland cigar crossover worth knowing about before the next event lands.
Worth knowing: Event-driven cigar accommodation; not a dedicated everyday cigar lounge.

Editorial picks are separate from paid placement. Policies, hours, and cigar inventory can change, so the individual place pages show the underlying research and verification details.
