Friendly Clean always smells good in the store. My favorite, I love this store since 2005 honest & kind people works there. Highly recommended read more

I'm a hypocrite. I don't like cigarettes. Yuck. But I dig Shisha (though I only smoke it like 5 times a year) because, unlike cigarettes (in my opinion)... Shisha tastes good. It smells good. It can be a bonding experience (though I guess taking a drag in freezing/hot/well any kind of weather with your smoking posse could also be considered bonding) And it's a pain to set up. In a good way. See the Jessica T. equation - Pain to set up = I rarely set it up....... rarely set it up = less shisha time........Less shisha time = less toxins...... Less toxins = much healthier and happier Jessica T. Anyways... Getting back to the reason why Tobacco Barn deserves four stars While hookah pipes are fun, if you don't use the right coals for the pipe, you'll be blowing on black turd looking coals for nearly half an hour, just trying to get the hookah party started. So, I was pumped to discover the other day that Tobacco Barn carries sweet silver magic coals, that make the hookah lighting process SOOOO much easier. Yay. The staff at Tobacco Barn are also pretty cool. They're nice, straightforward, and know what they're talking about. (I think) Oh but easier lighting processes aside, I'm going to continue to stick to my "five times a year" Shisha schedule. (oh and please note you can buy hookahs here, but it is not a hookah bar) Wouldn't want to mess around with the tried and true Jessica T. equation. read more

Tobacco Barn has very few cigars but they have everything else.related to smoking and inhaling in sight. got a friendly greeting when i entered. i was too focused on the 'gars to acknowkedge. 'gars in humidors less than a dozen names. no maduros. lots of fancy blown glassware seen. didn't want to go near them. i'm such a fumble finger guy. Tobacco Barn nice place for accessories, not for 'gars... 3 stars for the 'gars or lack or. otherwise 4ish stars. read more

I take back my old post. I finally got my jiggs and dude working there had them on reserve for me and stayed communicating with my gf and I coming from up north to grab them. Thanx read more

Good folks with great Customer Service, Great Selection of LOOSE / POUCH TOBACCO & VAPES, they also have verity of VAPES - it's clean, quiet & easy in / out read more

Bill's the man. Came here for the 1st time for some ejuice and left with exactly what I was looking for. Bill, the owner, was very welcoming and helpful and even introduced himself, as Bill. The store itself is well kept and has a good selection of all things "Tabacco" related from pipes, vapes, hookahs, e-cigs and everything between. My reason for checking this place out was for the vaporizer e-juice. I'm new to the vape scene but Bill has a decent collection of ejuices. I'll definitely be going back. read more

Pretty cool shop! Got a bit of everything!! Shop keep Bill is great.. Excellent customer service. The selection of glass is pretty extensive. read more

My partner and I visited Tobacco Barn last evening to our delight. The staff were outgoing, friendly and very knowledgeable about their merchandise. We purchased three walking sticks or staff depending how you say it. The staffs were made from the root of sassafras trees and beautifully crafted. The array of eclectic merchandise in the shop caused one to want to stop and spend time browsing around. I highly encourage anyone who is walking up and down Polk either before or after going to dinner or out for a drink to stop into this wonderful little shop. You will not be disappointed.

Bill is the man! He's super friendly, funny, helpful, and really knows his stuff. I went in looking for an atomizer. Bill asked me a few questions and then pulled a few models out of the case. He went over three or four in detail. He knew the ins and outs of each - very cool. A great experience. I'll be back! read more

Recently I purchased my first Hookah system, but only had some flavored molasses to try it out with. After reading the Yelp reviews and being recommended to this place by a friend, I decided to check it out after work. Despite being in the tenderloin, the shop is brightly lit, clean and well organized. The shopkeeper immediately pointed me towards a fine selection of sheesha tobaccos and hookah accessories. He recommended his preferred brand for double apple, and some quality instant light coals. Overall I felt confident in his recommendations, and I was was satisfied with my purchases. I would go back. read more

This place it great. Usually I feel kinda grungy and gross walking into a head shop, but this place is downright homey feeling. Definitely "your friendly neighborhood smoke shop". The biggest reason for this is the storekeeper Bill. He's not the usual burnout type who usually tend these types of stores. I've had many interesting conversations with him about history, his family, and the world. He is an incredibly nice person who loves I talk if you want to talk but isn't one of those people who will pin you down and not let you leave. Also his cat misha is very very cute and friendly! Prices are standard but Bill is a sweetheart and loves to throw in the odd freebie I cannot recommend this place enough guys. Don't go to any other head shop. read more

This is not just a regular a smoke shop This place have great selection of cigars pipes and gift items. Owner was very nice and helpful showed me around. Other thing that was interesting was a wide selection of self defense stuff no other smoke shop in SF has selection like this definitely a five star store. read more

This place is absolutely fantastic. I am an avid hookah smoker and Tobacco Barn is certainly the place to go for all of your needs!! They have a great selection of different brands of shisha, as well lots of accessories. My favorite thing about this place is: THEY WON'T SELL YOU CRAPPY STUFF OR STUFF YOU DON'T NEED. They are 100% honest with you and are determined to get you the best smoking experience on any budget. For any 420 fans, they gave a great selection of pieces and vaporizers and are determined to help you find what is best for you. Finally, they have THE BEST prices of anywhere. I got an awesome vaporizer, (MFLB) and it was cheaper than online. Super good quality products, super good customer service, and a place I recommend to ANYONE who is serious about smoking anything. read more

This place is the best, ran by truly friendly and helpful people. Vaping : full range of products hardware and liquids, knowledgeable staff Cigs / rolling paper / hooka products = full range Along with any regulars you'd expect from a smoke shop, you'll find an entire selection of the best hardware for vaping + they cover a crazy range of liquids always at stock, they'll definitely help you find your way too. One day I happened to mention a very specific item which they didn't sell ... they immediately insisted on picking it up somewhere ; i had it the next week and I'm still using this "high-stand" ash tray which I feel I almost robbed from them for what I paid... You can really spend an hour in this shop checking out all the stuff at display, hundreds of glass items, electric lighters, all kinds of gadgets, knives, souvenirs, decorations of all kinds... I often just stop by for a fresh drink from the fridge and a high five! (I did indeed create my account for this but I had to put it up here ! =) Cheers to the crew read more

These guys have been in the same spot in the TL for at least six years - a local fixture of fine smoking equipment. I used to frequent the place five or six years ago and the staff was always very friendly. I went back yesterday after a lengthy hiatus (due to moving several times), and they have recently remodeled the interior of their store. On top of that, they now have a much more extensive selection of unique and beautiful pipes than any of the other Polk St. Smoke shops. Some of the beautiful pipes include a frosty cobalt design with glossy sacred geometry pattern, Hawaiian volcanic rock dipped in 22kt gold, glass pipes with sections of burnished/oxidized bronze and embedded with a crystal, and clear pipes filled with liquid and iridescent glitter that you can freeze for ice cold shmokin. I can be kind of a diva about what I want to smoke out of, and this place satisfies. If you want a unique, gorgeous pipe, there's no need to navigate the touristy crowds in the Haight - stop by this TL gem and they will hook you up! read more

I originally stopped here for a bottle of water.. I don't smoke cigarettes but enjoy my shisha.. Boy was I surprised. What a selection of tobacco and hookah's.. I bought my favorite flavor Starbuzz Pomegranate.. They also have a nice selection of cigars! Love their hand blown water pipes, what a selection of glass! read more

Very knowledgeable staff. Way friendly. No BS. They'll steer you the right way. Plus the selection is fabulous! I'm coming back.

Nice establishment. Classy for the crusty ass area. The shop keep is a real gentlemen! Will be heading up that way for some RAW cones later to get ready for a 420 celebration! Happy 420 :) read more

This place is pretty cool. They have lots of good hookah accessories as well as glass pieces (for the 420 friendly heads). They've also got a small selection of cigars (not enough to satisfy a serious cigar smoker though). The staff there are cool and are always willing to answer any questions you have. All in all not a bad little neighborhood smoke shop but not anything I'd leave my area to visit either. read more

This was a great little shop!!! The guy was super friendly even though I took forever picking out my stuff!!! He was never pushy and super nice, it's not a huge store and the stuff was pretty dusty but nothing over the top! read more

Great smoke shop/accessories. Great staff very helpful. Lots of great stuff I spend hours looking around.

These guys are cool and the price is right. Very knowledgeable, definitely recommend. Hookahs, cigarettes, smokeables, and accessories

This smoke shop is amazing they have everything you need, I been coming here for almost a year and they always keep everything in stock, they also have drinks and great deals on tobacco, if u don't see it just ask they have it in the back or under the counter. read more

you ever get the feeling you've just entered a fake store front for a mafia money laundering place? that's what i feel like everytime i step in here. it's sort of dark, they're always full stocked of smokes & hookas & 420 tools...and there's always like 4 or 5 guys smoking with cheap italian suits on. and their always talking in their language, arabic i'm guessing, and i feel like whenever i ask for a pack of marlboro lights, i'm bothering their meeting, and i'm gonna get squished like a bug. i sweat when i'm in here... good prices on smokes though. read more

So my moms sister and I have been coming here for years, moms and my sister for their cigarettes and for my glass pieces. tobacco Barn is honestly the best smoke shop in the tenderloins and I always go in for a peak when I visit the TL. A very nice selection of handblown and well known glass brands as well as a few cheaper products for your novice toker. Unlike other pipe and tobacco shops in the TL who just try and push anything and everything onto you and tell you its a good price, the friendly staff will help you find exactly what it is you are looking for and are very knowledgeable about the products they are selling. So all in all, this is a great place, a diamond in the rough, and a place definitely worth the look if you are in the area. They are also great with loyal customers! read more

The store has a great selection of bongs, pipes, and other accessories. The manager was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful.

This is my first time to write a review in Yelp and I would wanna say thank you for giving me a freaking great deal for a gorgeous bong. I'd love to come again and if you are looking for fabulous stuff. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND COME HERE!!! read more

Great shop! Bill helped me with every question I had. Great selection and very knowledgable of his merchandise. By far the best shop in SF

Customer service is great. They are very friendly and will work with you and when I bought my water pipe, they throw in a lot of free stuff. Highly recommended. read more

The owner is super charismatic and offers the best deal on PAX I've yet to find in the city--$169.99--which came out to 184.86 with tax. Definitely head there if you're in the market for a PAX. read more

I walked in and asked for what they had made from California!! I was pleasantly surprised with the pipes they had!! There was a was a warm fuzzy when you walked in! They have everything you need even pocket knives!! It was definitely worth the 4.8 mile bike ride I took!! They had a phenomenal selection of goodies!! I was able to fin a new friend to add to my collection!! Makes pipe 70 been collecting for a while!! I saw the most amazing pipe. It was similar to my Alabama pipe I got in shape! But holy hell was the glass absolutely mind blowing!! This is gonna be a piece that sticks out!!! Plus to top it all off I Was given a free pipe case!! Holy shit blew my mind!! It wS super awesome of him to give me a free pipe case!! Had a nice padding and clip that to hang it plus a little stash pocket zip!! But walking out of any place with a free gift is phenomenal!! I would definitely recommend coming here! With the friendly vibe good selection and just overall phenomenalness this is the place to go!!! read more

Great selection of tobacco, pipes and such - more variety than most other shops in the area - Bill is friendly and cares about keeping his customers happy - I would walk the extra few blocks past the cluster of smoke shops on mid Polk to this store as they usually have better prices and certainly better customer service - bottom line: local shop worth supporting read more

As a Vape person, I prefer to deal with customer service. And considering the lack of local vape supplies. I have become regular customer here, and highly recommend their native nectar juice, it is on par with premium juices and I would compare them to any premium on vaperev. I should know a good juice when I find one as well, having worked in the industry my self. read more

My friend told me a about this sweet new place that opened in our neighborhood. One Sunday.. I decided to check it out as I was in the market for a new vaporizer. This place was off the charts.. it was filled with high quality merchandise... there were e-cigarettes, vapes, Juices...some pieces they had were ones I have never seen anywhere before. The customer service was off the charts...this place is top notch.. so this is where I chose to buy my new vaporizer from.. thanks guys, I'll for sure be back! read more

I needed some PAX2 vaporizor supplies and found this place online. Other distributors online carried the vaporizers only, no supplies. The guy who answered the phone and my questions was so nice, besides having the needed supplies, that I couldn't consider going anywhere else! The same, friendly, polite guy greeted me when I went in and helped me get everything I needed. I HIGHLY recommend this place for smoking and vaping supplies. They have more than a lot of places regarding supplies and you could not ask for nicer service! read more

Great smoke shop on Polk w/ an outgoing staff. Keanu hooked me up with a new grinder & pipe--they even have the really cool marbled stone ones shaped like Gumby! read more

Passed by this shop and was amazed by the vast selection of both affordable and high end water pipes, hookahs and a plethora of random and fun items. Keanu was extraordinarily knowledgeable, helpful, and an overall awesome dude. I will definitely be coming back next time I'm in San Francisco!! read more
