You will find an array of artisan distilleries and tasting rooms at Spirits Alley in Alameda Point. Savor the finest-crafted drinks in a distinct design of historic buildings and oversized airplane hangars. Try their Hangar 1 Vodka– made with fresh ingredients in season. For every variety of drink, St. George Spirits is a local stand-out for single malt whiskey, absinthe, and several gins, vodkas, brandies, and liqueurs. Building 43 Winery produces memorable small-batch varietals from the Sierra Foothills.
When you are in downtown Park Street, try Homeskillet – a classic American eatery with old-fashioned doughnuts, breakfasts, and buttery sandwiches. Top it off with Tuckers Ice Cream – the creamy, old-fashioned kind served since 1941. Both stops have fans from all over the Bay area. And when you’re in the mood for a large mall atmosphere, head to Alameda South Shore Center, an open-air mix of national and local businesses. Alameda makes shopping a breeze, from modern shops to old-fashioned storefronts.
