Alameda
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Alameda, California
Alameda's best-known nightlife corridor sits on the site of the old Naval Air Station, which operated from 1940 to 1997 before its hangars were converted into "Spirits Alley," now home to breweries and distilleries including Faction Brewing, which runs its 20-barrel brewhouse out of a converted World War II-era hangar. BarFinder lists 47 venues on the island, led by classic bars and sports bars with a strong wine bar, winery, and cocktail bar presence too. Beyond the old naval base, neighborhood spots like Town Tavern and Bay View Bistro keep a more traditional small-town-bar character alive alongside the craft-beverage scene.
