Get a taste of the town

Diverse cultural and culinary traditions define Oakland. The Town also offers delicious, dog-friendly dining options. Named after the West African term for a roadside bar and community hub, Chop Bar serves brunch, lunch and dinner on a popular outdoor patio. Pups are also welcome at Jack London Square neighbors like Seabreeze on The Dock, The Forge Handcrafted Pizza and Heinold’s First & Last Chance Saloon.

A young London reportedly frequented this 1884 waterfront landmark. Grand Lake Kitchen has Dimond District and Lake Merritt locations, while Xochi The Dog Café caters to pets and has coffee, empanadas and sandwiches for people.
