30 Fountain Alley, San Jose; 408.294.2247. Tucked away on the alley between First and Second streets, Tangerine celebrated its grand opening in February. A smiling hostess greets people at the door and escorts them to their seats. A tray of flavored tobaccos is brought to the table to allow for a little sniffing before making a final choice. The décor is all white with tangerine accent strips; color-changing lights supply a bit of warmth. Tangerine is open nightly; on Tuesdays, the bar hosts a tasting event with new flavors. Happy Hour is Monday through Thursday from 6 to 8pm. A student discount of 15 percent helps to attract a younger crowd.
