A must-visit place for anyone living in the area (4/5 Green Stars)…read moreBring cash! That's the first rule of Schmidt's Pub. Maybe it's the only rule! I've been coming here a bit more regularly, lately - more visits in the last year compared to the previous decade, in fact. Now I wonder what I was waiting for. According to the East Bay Express, Schmidt's Pub is "basically your living room, but better" - that does sum it up, except that very few of us have living rooms anything like this, with a cozy fireplace surrounded by comfy armchairs and rustic tables beside sunny windows. Not many of us have living rooms with Old Speckled Hen on tap, or populated with an entertaining parade of quirky folk and friendly dogs. If the people and dogs are not entertaining enough then pick up a copy of Calvin and Hobbes or A History of Clay Pipes (okay, I made that one up) and have a little retreat with a pint. 4/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, based on these factors: * Beer on tap (transported in reusable kegs) has a much lower footprint compared to bottles or cans. * Allows you to bring your own food, which is good for folk like vegans who are often more comfortable with BYO. * The snacks available at the counter could be a bit more Berkeley (or Albany)! They were mostly from big corps - Lays chips (PepsiCo) and chocolate bars from Mars. Would be nice to see a more imaginative/ethical selection. * A great community space with an inclusive atmosphere. Schmidt's is home to many groups (e.g., knitting) and provides a second family for many, some who send postcards from their trips! * Finally, we shouldn't underestimate the importance of having a place to slow down, reflect and connect with each other a little. In that respect, Schmidt's Pub is worth its weight in gold.

I frequented this shop for several years between 2000 and 2015, initially for cigars, and later for…read morepipes and pipe tobacco. I was always impressed with the selection of cigars in their walk-in humidor, and when I switched to a pipe, their selection of pipes (I bought a couple of pipes, including a very nice meerschaum) as well as tobacco. I recall getting several ounces once, of a dark rope (I'm thinking Samuel Gawith, perhap Gawith and Hoggarth), when the proprietor jokingly suggested I might need a nite from my mom (I was over 50 at the time), due to its strength! I invariably enjoyed my visits, always chatting with the folks running the shop. Unfortunately, I've forgotten the name of the fellow who ran it, who had been a biochemist in an earlier life. He did have a very personable young lady assisting whose name may have been Keely (but I'm bad with names). I moved from the area in 2016, and gave up smoking altogether in 2019, but have nothing but fond memories of the times I visited them.

I stopped in not really knowing what I wanted, and the lady working here was incredibly helpful…read moredespite how vague I was.
