Uptown Market & Liquor
A North Oakland corner market with a walk-in craft beer cave and a long Ghost Town shelf.
Walk past the front of the store
From Shattuck Avenue, Uptown looks like a neighborhood corner market. The beer is in the back: InsideHook described it as "a giant hidden beer cave" stocked with craft beer, a beer cave being a walk-in cooler. Cold storage is what keeps hoppy beer tasting the way the brewery meant it to.
The Ghost Town shelf
On October 15, 2026, its Untappd menu listed 19 Ghost Town beers, from Shatterlight and Perverse Inverse to Ossuary and Pena Smrti, plus six from Original Pattern, including Krush Groove and Functionality Vs Feng Shui. Ghost Town lists the shop among its accounts too.
Before you go
It's open early and late every day, 7 or 8am to 10:30 or 11:30pm, so it fits around a taproom stop. It's a liquor store with an off-sale license only, so there's no drinking on site. Wherever you buy, check the packaged-on date before the price, especially on anything hoppy, and pick from the cold shelf when there is one.
