The 50 best spots for happy hour in San Jose

My recommendation is to avoid this place and go somewhere else, anywhere else. The food is dog meat at best. Brisket lacked on every level (Thin, dry, covered with a thin, peculiar tasting barbeque sauce), the ribs were extremely over cooked, dry as can be (you can snap the meat in half). The meat (both brisket and ribs) tasted like it was microwaved. The atmosphere (which has incredible potential) and vibe is lacking anything desirable. The service was poor. If you are going to be a waiter/waitress engaging with you customers is key. When someone says they are going to head to the bar to look at the whiskey selection (and you do just that), the next question or engagement should be: "What whiskey can I get you?" I would imagine this also increases the bill which generally increases the tip, (but only if a nice tip is deserved). Zero mention of any whiskey or another recommended beverage. Spend your money and time elsewhere.

Vibe’s got that laid-back Western BBQ feel, and the staff keeps it easygoing. But the food? Straight-up Chili’s level. Solid local hangout, just not worth crossing town for.

The service was well done. The heated up food was so-so. The brisket was dry and dated. I sent it back and it was less dry but still dated.

We dropped by the Old Wagon Saloon to catch some college football action and enjoy some food and drinks. Seated at the bar, the bartender provided excellent service. We opted for beers and Paloma cocktails. In terms of food, we ordered extra crispy garlic fries, chicken wings with sweet and spicy sauce, the shrimp Louie salad, and an assortment of barbecue meats including ribs, brisket, and pulled pork. Our top picks were the wings, pulled pork, and the Shrimp Louie. The Western ambiance added to the chill vibe of the place. Situated adjacent to San Pedro Square, there's a parking structure conveniently across from the restaurant. It's a great spot to watch games, although the TVs at the bar are a bit too high. Your best bet is to sit in the middle of the restaurant to have access to screens on both sides of the walls.

Really nice bar in San Pedro square. They have good beer, excellent service and the burgers and fries are awesome!

Food was very basic. Ordered a Chipotle fried chicken sandwich with cheese and there was no Chipotle to be found. Brisket was bland and looked old...service was okay. Our server was nice but not tentative and did not check in once. Would not come back unless it was just for drinks. Cool vibes inside and out but not a good place for food service

I've had bbq all around the country...this was one of the worst tasting bbq I've ever had. Tritip looked like it was frozen and then heated up too quickly and tasted like it too...white meat, no rings. They put a sauce on it that tasted like thin gravy, not bbq Brisket was overcooked or tasted like they just added bbq sauce to yesterday's meat. The server was nice, but there was only one other person inside. Cornbread was good. Albondigas soup was good.

The place is generally very happening every time I have passed by so finally tried it. I do not appreciate that they make their waitresses wear skimpy clothes, especially more so in the winter. Like why!? You will do just fine with having them warmly dressed. I would give this place a 5 star if not for this. I did love the cocktail I got, it was a coffee one and so good. There was a huge block of ice in the middle and then the drink around it. So no ice chunks weirdly coming in your mouth, and the drink was so smooth and tasty!

Consider this place more of a bar than a restaurant. Place was simple but cute. Had an open floor concept to it. Food: it was okay. Not the best, but it wasn’t the worst. Cocktails were well made. They delivered what and how they needed to deliver! 🙃 Service: Super friendly staff! However, cleaning the kitchen (spraying, wiping, brooming, mopping, etc) while still cooking food orders cannot be sanitary!!!! 🫠 Ambience: DJ was on point! Definitely would go back on a late spring or summer day/night just for cocktails. Parking: available either in nearby structures or meter street parking.

Since the day this place opened. It has been a delight. Definitely on the list of some of the best happy hour in downtown San Jose. Consistency is king and with this spot consistency is on point. Everything from the sticky ribs to their warm burrata cheese, the food is great. I understand there. Chef is very talented and is indeed keeping the bar high. Happy hour drinks are a good deal, and if you get there early enough, you can find a seat at the bar or outside on the covered patio. I’m glad they’ve survived and are still doing great things.

I’m not even sure how this place deserves a one star 🤦🏻‍♀️. Paid over 2k for bottle service to celebrate my sister in laws birthday. We were told we can go out to change clothes and come back as long as we had a stamp. Came back 5 mins later and was told my husband and I could not come back in due to the “manager” saying we could not re-enter I said there must be some misunderstanding and asked to please speak to the manager and the security was so rude (one with ponytail and septum piercing). We were told to leave and come back another time! Completely ridiculous! Definitely bring your service elsewhere!

Don't bother to go here! Our brunch experience was horrible. Where do I start! We were given dinner menu first despite confirming about the menu. Service is super slow, our orders weren't taken for the longest time. The waitress forgot to get our mains. Food lacked seasoning and tasted bland. I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone.

Food was okay. I'm disappointed in the quality. I used to come here nearly every week. The oysters were flavorless. The ribs... What happened?!? I used to order 2-3 servings if these to take home. The pork belly was disappointing. The burrata and beet salad were the best part. Chicken wings were cooked perfectly. I enjoyed the smokey chili rub. The worst part? It took HALF AN HOUR to get the bill. I wish I were exaggerating. Never again.

Great spacious bar away from the crowd of the main dtsj strip. High quality food. Good servers good people. Some of the bartenders are rude not very friendly. Overall great places. Good dj with lives music on weekends. Clean. Small bathroom long lines.

Wonderful Experience at Trails Pub in San Jose! Trails Pub in San Jose is a gem that should not be missed. Whether you're looking for a delicious meal, a relaxed atmosphere, or a great selection of drinks, this place has it all. Nice beers on tap, loved the Smithwicks. My partner had Dragon's Slayer. We wanted to play darts, and you can just request darts from the amazing bartender. I can't wait to return and try more of their offerings.

Trivia night is so fun! Staff is amazing.

Generous pours of a diverse set of beers, ranging from wheat to stouts. And then the combinations thereof. Had a chill Friday evening here and got a ploughman's plate, though one of the cheeses was a bit fungal. Decent prices & friendly staff. We took vta here, but parking might be possible on nearby streets.

The food is underrated here. Everything from the curry dish to the mozzarella sticks is delicious. Fair price and good portions. Very welcoming and laid back atmosphere.

This is a nice cosy little English pub. No loud music making it possible to have actual conversations. They have a nice little fireplace as well. Their chicken pot pie with salad is amazing. As for their beer I recommend the Dragon Slayer. 😊

Most overlooked hidden gem in San Jose. This place is private, cozy, good vibes and amazing food!

Decent pub. Good selection of beers on tap. Great seasoned fries. The Buffalo wings could use some work though. Nice atmosphere to hangout.

We've gone here a few times and have enjoyed it. We came once during happy hour and it was great because the margarita's are really quite tasty and they were nicely discounted! The sauce flavors here are spot on. They've really done a great job developing balanced quality flavors. The portions are generous and the food is fresh. The server had some issues with the orders and messed up a few things but it was really busy so we tried to understand. They are slow but the presentation is nice. The mushroom quesadilla is soooo good! I don't think anyone was disappointed with their food and there were 9 of us the first time. We will definitely be back for more. ❤️

From start to finish, the service was incredible — Parvis and Chase went above and beyond to make us feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of. They were friendly, attentive, and made the whole night feel easy and enjoyable. The food was just as impressive — especially the octopus dish, which was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. You can tell a lot of care goes into every plate here. Highly recommend Olla Cocina for anyone looking for great food, a warm vibe, and truly top-notch service. I’ll definitely be back!

We recently hosted an event at Olla Cocina with over 50 attendees, and it was a fantastic experience. The staff were warm, professional, and incredibly hospitable, helping everything run smoothly from setup to closing. The food was delicious—especially the birria—and guests raved about the flavors all night. The space itself had the perfect atmosphere for our intimate celebration honoring both graduating college seniors and alumni during our annual reunion. Olla was the ideal venue to bring our community together, and we’re grateful for the care and attention the team showed throughout the evening. Highly recommend for group events or special occasions!

Lovely Mexican restaurant in the heart of San Jose. The tacos were tasty. Our group also share some chips and guacamole and the chips were on point. Drinks were great; they have a lot of variety. Our server Mateo was patient, attentive and efficient. We really enjoyed our visit.

Ok ok, I love the atmosphere first off! I love the decor, the location, the parking garage that is easily accessible, and the overall vibe going on here. While I was a fan of all of that, the service wasn’t too great. We went for dinner time on a Monday night. We ordered an appetizer and it never came but we got charged for it. We were never checked on, and we did want to order more, so we went around the corner for something small to fill us up. I believe it’s a bit overpriced for bare minimum food. You basically don’t get a meal. My party and I ordered tacos, and none came with a side of rice or beans. Just two tacos. For the price you pay, you could go to a street vendor and get 5-6 tacos not just 2. Overall, I loved how beautiful this place was but not a fan of the prices and food. I’m not local here but I don’t think I’d travel all the way back just for this place again. At least I tried it!

I'm torn with this review. We came here on Thursday night after work and sadly, there were only 2 other tables the entire evening from 5:30 pm to 8 pm. They need more customers or I don't see how they will survive. The food was tasty and fresh. The portions for the entrees were generous and the margaritas were tasty. The beet salad is like nothing I've ever had before. Roasted beets with an ancho sauce (not spicy), crema, pumpkin seeds and orange segments. It was absolutely fabulous. Even though the place was basically empty, we only saw our waitress at the beginning and once we got our food it was quite some time before we were checked on. Very pretty girl and I really like their uniforms (good styling choice) but they should be a scootch more attentive with water offerings & checking to make sure the patrons are good. What disappointed me and almost got a 2 star review is that I asked for fresh avocado on the Chile Relleno and got a 1/4 of a nearly hard avocado with the hefty price of $5.95!!! I've never seen such an exorbitant charge for avocado. To top it off, I don't like when establishments just bring the charge machine with no view of the bill prior. I'm blindly tipping (of which the 2% added on would've affected the percentage) and had I seen the charge for the avocado I would've requested a deduction. I would recommend the food to people, just be aware of some of the charges and always ask to see your receipt before calculating your tip. Never trust the auto calculation at any place, I've caught many that are wrong.

Stopped in on the recommendation of the octopus. As I arrived i was immediately greeted by chase who guided me to the bar as he gave some of his own recommendations. Brenna the bartender immediately geeeted me and got me set up with a nice cold beverage. While waiting for my beverage i was just looking around and the esthetic and ambience were so on point really full of the culture. I ended up getting the octopus which was an absolute phenomenon the slight char mixed with the zucchini tomatoes and green mole really set off the flavor of the octopus just really was a chefs kiss. I’d give just the all around experience a 10/10 and would definitely come back next time im in San Jose,Ca

Came here for a late breakfast with 3 friends. A little preface, I eat out a lot. Especially breakfast places. The service was awesome! The portions, great! The prices very reasonable. So why only 3 stars? What's left to critique but the food itself. It was mediocre. I'm basing that off an average of the table. Some really didn't like their meal and others were ok with it. Personally, I was ok. The bottom line, it was a decent meal. Will I be back? Maybe. If I'm hungry and don't want to wait to be seated, I'm coming here. But if I got time, I'm going some place else.

Went for breakfast. Great food but nothing amazing. Indoors was dark and hard to see. Had nice outdoor seating with shade. My partner got a short stack. They were fluffy nice portion. I got the works omelet. It was filling, savory, huge portion and fresh fruit on the side A friend got the California eggs Benedict. He said it was delicious, hardy and healthy meal.

Absolutely HUGE menu. They serve everything from pancakes to spaghetti to Greek food, so it's a great place to go with a large group if people can't make up their minds what they're in the mood for. Flames is a small chain with several locations but this one in downtown San Jose is my favorite. Feels pretty upscale and has nice streetscape views from the booths. Even has a small outside patio area for sunny days. I had the Eggs Benedict (eggs perfectly poached) on this visit while my wife really enjoyed the special of the day - a red beet salad with chicken and walnuts. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the service which can be a bit slow when the place gets busy.

When I first walked in I noticed the place was dirty, but as we sat down we got this server by the name of Richard and he was amazing, but then things turned for the worst. We got the drinks Smooth Move and they tasted good but had no hint of alcohol. Then we got some calamari that tasted like old bacon grease. Disgusting! We also ordered some nachos and asked for no sour cream and when we got it they looked just thrown together with sour cream on top, and we told the waiter my wife was allergic to sour cream! So then we told the waiter that we didnt like the appetizers and he rudely yelled to the entire restaurant " TAKE IT OFF THE BILL, HEY TAKE THIS OFF THERE BILL!" Then Richard's whole attitude changed and he was very rude to us after that. So we just played for our drinks and left.

We went on Labor day Monday. Not crowed and we're seated by the busser who brought us water. The waiter took his time acknowledge us and when he did just casually asked if we knew what we wanted. Ok fine. Brought us our food. The chocolate milk shake & the root beer float were yummy. We ordered the Ruben Sandwich with coleslaw and All meat pizza. The Ruben sandwich was very tasty. However the $16.00 Pizza was horrible and taste rancid. The mushrooms were rubbery and gross. I had it removed from my bill. I feel like some of these old restaurants don't change their menu or their food and or never taste their own food.

My daughter and I have lunch here whenever we can. The waiter s are very respectful nice quiet clean atmosphere. I love a place that let's you talk to your lunch buddy and not be interrupting every 5 minutes. However if there is something you need someone is always there to get you what you need. Prices are good, are a is always clean. I highly recamend FLAMES. I am a prude when I eat out. But I have never had one thing to complain about here. 3yrs ago I wrote this review it still applies today the only place in Downtown San Jose I would consider going to

What a great place to eat, they have so many dishes and they are all so good. Not only is the food delicious the staff is very nice, courteous, and knowledgeable. Especially Nani, she picked out both my breakfast and lunch, and we enjoyed chatting about our kids, thanks so much for making a South Carolina family feel like home!

I loved the atmosphere here. It was dark, loud and full of drunk people. It made me feel young. The music is extremely loud, so if you want to have a conversation, this might not be a place for you. Some of my friends got the Guinness, whereas I got a rum based cocktail which was very good and also reasonably priced. If your main objective is to have a good time, would definitely recommend this place. The decor is very irish and would transport you back to pubs in London and Ireland.

They had as love name playing traditional music that was nice without being too loud. The food was really good, as was the drink selection. I'll happily come back here next time I'm in town.

We were there during St. Patrick’s day. What a great atmosphere and vibe! A great band was playing and the people were so nice.

Awesome Irish pub in San Jose California. Great service and atmosphere. Watched Kentucky Derby with friends and had a great time. Tried Guinness and it was really good.

Beer was so good!! So many options available 🍻 Trivia nights on Wednesday!! Good music and lit on the weekend They also have IPA -non alcoholic!! What a win!

This is a pub in San Fernando. I drank beer during happy hour. I ate French fries as a side dish. The price is relatively cheap. The atmosphere had a strong old pub feel, the TV was placed so that people could enjoy it comfortably, and the old photos were also nice to see. However, many of the guests were accompanied by dogs. Please keep this in mind when considering the atmosphere. The clerk was friendly.As the location is in a busy area, consider paid parking or street parking.

Food ok on pricy side. Fries taste a little mix with other fried food. Like the friendly service and relax environment. Lots flies If u sit outside

Clearly this place is popular or maybe that it was a Sunday that we picked for dinner. It’s a pretty big restaurant and my best guess can easily seat about 100 plus when full. It’s got a fully stacked bar and they are famous for the beer shots (rather beer in small glasses. The one we sampled was 6 different types of beer served up front in a single tray. You better reserve a table eye it’s going to be a long wait. The staff is friendly and the service is great. But somehow I came away not exactly over the moon - or maybe what I ordered isn’t the taste that I am used to. The only thing I remember that tasted great was the spicy edamame that paired perfectly with the beer. The jambalaya was quite the disappointment- I’ve had much better. Clearly they are popular but at least for me it was like I’ve has much better food for that price. But then this is my review and you should make up your own mind about the place…

The beer selection was amazing! The Kona Big Wave and House Belgian White were awesome. The vodka penne was a bit dry, so asked for extra vodka sauce to put on it. Wings were really good. Wisconsin cheese curds were amazing and as good as I had them in Wisconsin. Service was slightly slow but it was super busy, so totally understandable.

A few of us came here on a Sunday evening. It was packed! Really fun and loud ambiance, high energy, family friendly, great food. Not really a place for a quote romantic dinner, but good for any other occasion, especially a casual group get together.

This was my third visit to Yard House, and the consistent excellence is what keeps me coming back. Just like the previous times, the service was outstanding—fast, friendly, and genuinely attentive. The staff clearly knows their stuff, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. The beer selection is simply unparalleled; their extensive menu of brews offers something for every palate, and the quality is top-notch. As for the food, it was delicious and perfectly prepared, proving that Yard House is more than just a great beer spot. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

We had dinner here last night since it was open late night and the wait wasn’t as long as it usually is. I’ve come here quite a few times and it never disappoints. The food was fantastic. Crispy delicious calamari. I had a steak protein bowl that was to die for my steak was so tender and delicious along with all the vegetables and flavors that came with it.. my son had the fish and chips and my fiancé had the pizza. All of it was so amazing. We were celebrating an occasion and they brought us a celebratory dessert. Food came out quick. Prices are reasonable for how delicious the food is. I just can’t say enough good things about this place. I have never once had a bad meal here. I will definitely be returning many many times. Just love the food and atmosphere here. Kudos to the chefs.!! A must try!

Great beer selections and features seasonal craft beers from different breweries in the country! We come here often for their wide beer selections, tasty appetizers & happy hour. Drinks & some food on the menu are reasonably discounted during the happy hour. Food servers are friendly, make great beer suggestions & attentive.

This Santana restaurant was a treat for me and my boyfriend to go to. It’s a bit pricey, but it’s very good. We must’ve got there at the right time because they sat us in a corner booth table with a beautiful view of the whole restaurant and outside the drinks were great the appetizers we have the artichoke cheese dip. I had the whiskey glaze salmon. He had the teriyaki ribeye. It was phenomenal. I wish we could afford to go here more

It was not an easy decision for me to leave a negative review, but I would be more than happy to revisit it if I receive a thoughtful response from the restaurant. My intention is simply to share my honest experience in the hope of helping this restaurant improve, and nothing more. I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, and I would like to feel safe and welcome when I bring my friends here, no matter what skin colors they are. Everyone deserves to be treated with the same respect and attention. I’ve lived in the U.S. for over a decade, and I honestly never expected that dining out would one day come with the worry of being treated differently. Unfortunately, our experience with the service left us feeling uncomfortable. To start, the front desk initially didn’t want to seat us outdoors, despite plenty of available tables. Right after she seated the group ahead of us (a white couple), I pointed out, “there are plenty of tables outside,” which made her feel awkward and eventually led her to seat us outdoors. Secondly, our waitress did not greet us at all throughout the entire meal. She only appeared to take our order, without any greeting or eye contact. She didn’t bother to refill our water or check in on us, while she spent time small-talking and joking with other tables. I didn’t even have a chance to tell her that my husband’s dish was cold. At the end, we tried to get her attention several times to ask for the check—my husband spoke to her directly, and I made eye contact twice—but we were consistently overlooked as she attended to other tables. Eventually, I decided to speak with the manager. The manager was generous—she comped our bill and offered us dessert, which we truly appreciated. I could tell she wanted to make things right, and I’m grateful for her efforts. However, the interaction felt rushed, and she didn’t seem to speak with our server at all about our feedback. When she came to our table, she didn’t ask my husband for his feedback, which only added to our lingering feeling of being unintentionally dismissed. I’m not sharing this to complain or seek anything more—we’ve already received compensation. I’m leaving this review in the hope that the restaurant will reflect on how it treats all guests, and especially how moments of discomfort can leave a lasting impression. As I mentioned earlier, I would like to feel safe and welcome when I bring my friends here in the future, no matter what skin colors they are. I look forward to hearing a response from the restaurant.

Great location and atmosphere. Pretty cool patio. The service was great - our server, Erica, was awesome. We had the special strawberry salad, the special black cod and John’s Bolognese. The strawberry salad was nice and refreshing. Unfortunately, the black cod and the bolognese were both under seasoned, which was a bummer.

We had a nice meal here but nothing stood out to us unfortunately. Maybe my expectations were too high? The melon and prosciutto was a miss since the melon was cut way too big and wasn’t ripe enough. Roasted carrots and scallops were good. Lamb meatballs were fine. I enjoyed the cocktails and the staff was very friendly and attentive.

We've eaten here a few times and we love it. This review is for their take out. We ordered corn beef hash and what we got was pitiful. Barely any food and the meat was raw. $28 for this.

The food looked good, but was a little bland. It was prepared ok, and for the prices I would have expected more flavor. The coffee was delicious; robust and smooth. The crab cake Benedict had a lot of veggies and the eggs were the 63 degree eggs. The 63 degree egg whites were not fully cooked. The crab cake was moist and tasty. The hash browns were golden and crispy but not over done in oil. They were prepared beautifully. My husband had the corned beef hash, and he was not impressed. The eggs were to be done over hard and still had a runny yoke. The potatoes were done very well and the corned beef was bland. We had Bloody Mary’s, and they were spicy and yummy with all of the veggie garnishes. The beignets were surgery and warm. Great comfort food. The helping size was plenty and the service from Maria was great. The atmosphere is delightful.

Modern American foods restaurant. Foods and services were excellent. I would give this place 5 stars if the Bone marrow we ordered would have had more bone marrow in it. We got two piece of bone, one with bone marrow (not much though) and one with only bone. They should have a better quality control of this. Other foods were fine as per photo.

4.2 stars Came here in Saturday morning with no wait time. Their signature dish is duck liver mousse and we loved it so definitely try it out. I ordered eggs Benedict but nothing really fancy. Would also recommend their hash brown. Really crispy and delicious.

The portion sizes are generous; you get what you pay for. The pear salad was very nice, exceeding my expectations. The heirloom tomatoes were also very good, though I wish they had given us four! Everything else we ordered was well-made and flavorful. The environment is cool, with old-style dining decor and a nice bar. Good service overall.

So the place itself is nice and it does have a German feel to it, BUT IT WAS FREEZING!!! The customer service from the men was fantastic but the Asian waitress seemed to want to rush us out. The food was decent, we ordered the sausage platter which was authentic and great, the salad which was good but not authentic and then the Jägerschnitzel mit Pommes… my main issue was this dish. The gravy is 100% NOT German. Very sweet and nothing like true Jägersose anywhere in Germany… the schnitzel was too thick as well. As we were leaving everyone was super friendly other than the lady at the bar that we stopped at for a moment on our way out since we were waiting on our uber. She was not

Good old boy bar atmosphere. Narssastic co-owner. Definitely not German food, nor German atmosphere. Don't make the mistake of going hoping to enjoy authentic food. Sauerkraut and potato salad was cold. The sausages were over boiled. It took 3 minutes from ordering to serving if that tells you how the food is prepared. $82 for what you see. A witz...

I've visited this bar multiple times, and each experience has been fantastic. They offer an excellent selection of the best German beers, both on tap and in bottles, catering to every beer enthusiast's taste. The atmosphere is always lively and welcoming, thanks to the amazing staff and patrons who make you feel right at home. The interior is beautifully designed, reflecting authentic German architecture with its charming, rustic details. Whether you're a beer lover or just looking for a great place to relax, this bar is definitely worth a visit. Food here for me is ma beers 🍺🍻

We are on a weekend trip to San Jose and found this restaurant walking distance from our Airbnb. There is a good selection of traditional German food and German beers. I absolutely loved the Reuben sliders! We also enjoyed M'ssissipi Slide performing in the beer garden. Love those blues. Plus we had a very attentive waiter.

I seldom go to san Jose. Last Saturday, my friend said we would go there to drink beer, so we went to this shop. I was amazed by the ambience, the service and the food, especially the beer.The decoration and furnishings of the house are the kind of old furniture with a sense of time. A liter of beer is really good for me to drink. And his signature German dish,Roast pork knuckle and sausage, is the best I've had in the Bay Area.The service was also very warm and friendly.I already want to move my family to live nearby.

Service was great, as staff was very friendly. Mushroom sauce in the schnitzel was amazing. Good selection of sausages in the appetizer. Will definitely dine here again. Atmosphere became more festive the longer we stayed. We opted to eat inside but they had a live band out back.

Finally visited this place and was not disappointed. The cocktails and the finger food were great! They have a limited menu and limited veg options but whatever options were there were great. One has to order at the bar and it's mostly self serve except food. The place can get pretty crowded during weekends. We ordered almost everything from the food menu and really liked the shrimp tacos / al pastor baos/ mushroom empanadas.

Paper Plane is an amazing spot for a late-night hangout in downtown San Jose! If you’re looking for great drinks, good food, and a lively atmosphere, this place checks all the boxes. I recently stopped by with friends, and we had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The cocktails here are next-level—creative, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. The bartenders clearly know their craft, and the menu offers a wide variety of options, from classics with a twist to fun, unique concoctions you won’t find anywhere else. The food was equally impressive—perfect for sharing and exactly what you want when you’re out for a night of good drinks and conversations. Service was another highlight. Despite how busy it was, the staff was quick, friendly, and attentive without ever feeling rushed. It made the whole experience even better. The vibe at Paper Plane is perfect for both small groups and larger gatherings. It’s lively without being overwhelming, and the seating setup makes it easy to relax and enjoy the night. Whether you’re a local or just visiting San Jose, I highly recommend Paper Plane for a fun night out with friends, great drinks, and good vibes!

After an exciting win by the 49ers it was time to have one last meal before we hit the road from San jose. This restaurant came highly recommended as a family member of mine said she really loved their tacos. I enjoyed the ease of the menu as you pick your items told the bartender and paid in advance I ordered the vegan tacos along with the truffled fries. My friend ordered a bacon hamburger. I enjoyed that the food did not take much time to come out and the Truffle fries had great flavor I really enjoyed the tacos as you couldn't tell there wasn't meat in them. The brussel sprouts along with their sauce and pickled onions gave these tacos a really good flavor profile. Overall I definitely would try them again. I wasn't able to try a drink at the bar because I was the designated driver for the night however I'd love to try their Bar menu as they had some unique drinks that should be explored.

Solid cocktail bar! Went on a Wednesday night so it was a bit empty but crowded at the bar. Had several cocktails there and all tasted great. Tried one of their special cocktails (had gochujang in it) which I wasn’t a huge fan of but the old fashioned was tasty. The bartender was super friendly and made sure everyone had a drink.

Great place to chill if you're in the area! They have this menu with a cross-section of different flavor profiles to try 😋 even so the bartenders were fantastic and recommend me some great drinks outside the menu! Great music and awesome staff!

Excellent bar in Sanjose. I loved the cocktail selections and names on the menu card. The 4 quadrant graph for cocktail selection was fun and quirky.

Trying this place for the first time, it's great. It has a small menu so not too intimidating. Happy hour is from 5-7pm. The koji wings were good but not what I expected. I thought they would have sauce. They actually are fried but oh so good. The cheeseburger was delish! I got it with regular fries. The most amazing thing was the brussel sprout tacos. OMG! Very delicious, had to order a second batch. You get two for a serving. The atmosphere is very casual yet upbeat. The alcoholic drinks are great. The "Don't tell Mom" is a great drink. Also, "Summer '93". It's a different drink but has vanilla ice cream. Music is not too loud but enough to vibe off to.

We have been looking for good chicken wings in the downtown area. The wings were very crispy and the sauce was flavorful, however, the prices were VERY expensive. The wings came out to over $2/wing (23.50 for 10). We shared them and a sandwich. The Diesel sandwich was pretty good, sort of dry. The beers were good on tap. They had the hockey game on which was fun! Overall the rating is low for the price. Our bill was about $70 for 10 wings, a sandwich,and 2 beers. I had interest in chicken tenders, but 6 tenders are $24. That's insane. At the price point there are other restaurants for same quality at lower cost.

Came in looking for a gourmet burger because of the price. Burger was to greasy to soggy because of the lettuce after taking 1 bite and asking if I could get some sauce it would 25 cents at this point i wanted to taste something different for the burger had no flavor. Took another asked if I could get half of my money back or another burger or something clerk said that’s what it is.

Pros: -Open late -You order at the counter: no splitting the bill/Vemoing each other -Good food and drink: try the Cubano and hot buttered rum -Nice outdoor seating area with heaters My con: -Has tvs inside and outside (a pro for some)

I'd have rated this place higher, cept Google's menu listed them as having both shakes & rootbeer floats, they had neither, & by the X I got to destination (about 4 blocks away) the 🍟's were already cold, and whist the burger was better than what joes has, it may take second place to rookie's burger & around the same price

So this is the memorabilia at the bar here. I came to this bar in San Jose to watch a 49ers game. The team playing 15 minutes up the road. They don't even have the game playing for everyone to hear. This place is a joke they don't care about locals at all.

The food is good, but one of our wing came out still raw.

Decent wings. Can be a bit hit and miss quality wise.. But otherwise friendly service.

The staff may come off as rude; however, I think it is because of the punk culture, not necessarily who they are. The live music is okay. CASH ONLY.

Very disappointed with my experience. I visited last night to support some local bands and friends who were performing. The drinks were mediocre—I ordered a Long Island and a tequila lime soda, both of which were made incorrectly and tasted watered down. After the performances, a few friends and I stepped outside for some air. There were multiple groups gathered outside, not just ours. At one point, we noticed another group—whom we did not know—taking Jell-O shots. While my group was simply standing in a circle talking, a bouncer suddenly approached us, yelling and accusing us of taking Jell-O shots. He told us we were being disrespectful to the bar and that we were no longer allowed back inside. I explained that none of us had taken any Jell-O shots and even showed him to prove it. He responded that he didn’t care and reiterated that we were banned from re-entering. You’re seriously going to kick out a group of 20 people who came to support your venue and brought in significant business—for something we didn’t even do? That’s absolutely unprofessional. Businesses should remember that their customers are the reason they stay open. This situation was incredibly frustrating because we were doing nothing wrong—just standing outside and following the rules. Overall: I do not recommend this place. The drinks are overpriced and watered down (especially for a dive bar), and the staff is rude and unprofessional. I won’t be spending my money here again.

I can’t believe how poorly they treat their customers and performers. From the moment I walked in to set up for the show, the staff were snippy with my band, friends, and family. They ended up kicking out nearly all of us because someone had a drink outside, and they took it personally—even going as far as banging on the bathroom door to kick out a friend simply for being associated with us. It’s a shame they cleared out almost the entire bar before the closer could perform. This is no way to treat local musicians or their supporters. Sadly, this was our first live performance—and it will definitely be our last at this venue.

Nice People. EU Europe,France, Germany, North Pacific CA, South America, Mexico West India, Africa,

One of the regulars is a man named Uncle David. A sage. Words of wisdom. Don't stop thinking about tomorrow, yesterday is gone. I showed him a picture of her, I asked, " Is she yesterday or tomorrow?" He said tomorrow. And I almost forgot, he said, ",Patience is a virtue."

Good local place, strong pours on drinks. Mostly a rock club with live local music/bands, but they do other things sometimes.

As someone from freaking Kansas I've never had a chance to experience a proper punky dive bar. Cheap Pabst, free music, great people. When I return this will be a place I stop. The people were drunk but friendly and the owner as well as the bartenders kept things moving. I'd pay 10 dollars just to enter a place like this in Wichita, it wouldn't have live music and the drinks would be twice as expensive. Amazing why we have no night life here.

The place is really nice. The happy hours are fantastic for both food and drinks, especially the wine and prosecco (highly recommended). The service is good, the waitstaff are friendly, and they offer great recommendations.

Cool little place to grab a beer. Staff were super nice and let us order for happy hour despite us arriving right at 6pm when it ends. Didn’t eat, so can’t rate the food.

This is my local post-work happy hour spot. Not much to choose from on the Alameda. Great beers on tap. Service depends on the day. A little dingy, more divey than expected but it seems cleaner these days than a year ago. Food could be a lot better. I’ve ordered charcuterie boards where they were out of a few items and didn’t mention it, and the nachos were awful. Can’t go wrong with tater tots. Love the all day HH on Wednesdays I believe, it’s a great deal but I wish the food was better. Can’t speak too much to the wines.

super cute to visit on a Friday night <3 really good choices of beer and they have great options for both wine and beer flights! Haven’t tried food, but looking forward to trying on trivia night (Wednesday’s)

My friend and I came in during happy hour and also when wine bottles and cheese boards were 20% off! The food, wine, and service were fantastic and fast! If I had one suggestion, it would be to have QR code menus on the table. Still, we had a great experience and will be back for sure.

Great place for a glass of wine and a bite at the end of the day. Friendly staff - especially Claudia, Dillon and Julius. Had the buffalo mozzarella stack today with my sangria. Delish. Owner Doug is always there to set the tone and makes sure it’s a good experience for his customers.

The bar staff were so helpful when I had questions about red wine selections. I had a wine flight after talking with the bartender. The apps are tasty. The atmosphere is nice here, too. Bathrooms were clean, and I always appreciate that. The bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers are so elevated. I plan on trying the pizzas next time

Went to this nightclub May 31st and had a really frustrating experience. My group paid full price for our section the day before, but when we got there, security wouldn't let most of our people in. The section we reserved was already packed with people who weren't even with us. Security was rude and kept saying the area was too full, even though it's their job to make sure only the right people have wristbands. We even had to involve the owner, NICK SANTOS, who told security not to let our people in-why, when we had paid for it??? The bottle girls were trying to help us out, but they kept going back and forth with security until they just gave up because they couldn't do anything anymore. Really disappointing when we'd already paid for the section. Don’t even waste your time here. The crowd is very weird and the men like to grab/touch girls.

Club's a total scam. They put pictures of what it looks from inside, but the actual DJ is outside in rundown open ground. They don't have alcohol variety, 4-5 options at max. They DONT GIVE A BILL and OVERCHARGE on your credit card the next day. I'd rather watch my money burn than go to a place like this.

Been here for Bollywood events a few times. DJs are generally much better here. Crowd isn’t upscale but not bad too. Never had any issues here. Dance floor is all outdoors. No place to leave your coat/jacket. There’s some indoor place to sit during events.

This was the first time I have come. The place was filled with creepy guys who followed us until the parking and were knocking on the window, even though we silently left the place in between. Girls be safe before even entering!!! I don't recommend this place at all

The security isn't able to control the nuances caused by troubling people. People claim to owner and want to create trouble after few drinks.

5 guys for every gal. Full sexual harassment. Management only collects $20 cover charge. Don't go

Basic standard Lounge. Usually Booked for club night. Nothing fancy

The friendliest dive bar in San Jose. I started coming here when I first arrived in town and it has become one of my favorite places for a quick and affordable drink.

Free pool, cheap drinks, nice strangers. This bar is kind of a hole in the wall.

The bartenders are nice. The decor is geared towards the punk/metal/alternative crowd without being overbearing. Drinks are good. Location is great. But for some reason I just can't really enjoy going there. It never comes together in a way that isn't meh. Will pop in again, but it's not a destination I will head to that often Update: walked over again. Wasn't awesome, again. Lost a star

The bar was great!! Love the atmosphere, but the bartenders were jerks. Couldn’t get service unless I forced direct eye contact and attention. Sitting at the bar with an empty glass and money to spend is a shame. I could see if these two guys were slammed, but this was not the case. They didn’t want to work and it showed. If I were the owner I would get someone in there who wanted to make money. You’re losing money with these guys.

Cool bar to go to. Wish they had a bigger selection of beer. Also the service is a hit or miss. Sometimes the bartenders are nice, other times they aren't. The art work is nice to look at. Small place, gets crowded fast.

Really friendly bartenders. Always felt welcomed and safe. I didn't drink in the past, and the bartenders were super cool with that. I love the skateboards and art. I only come here on travel visits, will always be my go to spot.

I found this bar a bit cramped and some of the customers made me feel a bit uncomfortable. It's a divey bar without all of the charm, in a sense. Honestly, the bartender was good and the place was clean, so maybe I caught a weird crowd. It seemed to me a lot of the folks in there, who seemed pretty drunk around 5 pm, were regulars. Not sure if I'll give it a second chance.

If you are looking for a nice selection of wines by the glass, half glass or bottle from apertif style sherry thru to dessert ports, the new Vyne Bistro accommodates with modern modular seating area and bar in the Paseo walkway and shopping area near San Jose State University between 3rd and 4th Street. This fairly good sized place has a glass front and open industrial feeling with a bit of warmth from the flat panel wall gas fireplace (more art piece than anything). The special of the day soup I had was a wonderful and spicy homemade and slightly chunky tomato that I can recommend along with a simple mixed beet and blue cheese salad. The half glass of sherry I sipped while waiting for friends was a pleasantly dry offering served up by an attentive waiter, who unfortunately then was off his shift and this is where the evening and Vyne Bistro took an unfortunate turn. The waitress who served the group clearly had good intention, but lacked basic education around wine (initially setting down a glass of tempranillo and telling me it was the chardonnay, which another member of the group had ordered). Several other errors such as bringing a round of the same drinks when a desire to order new selections had been discussed with her tended to make us raise our eyebrows at the lack of smooth skills for service, but her manner was pleasant if not terribly competent or attentive. The rest of the food ordered that evening (sandwiches and olives) was good and enjoyed if not particularly noteworthy. I might add that the sandwich was verbally described as being on a roll (sourdough or wheat) when in fact it was sliced bread of same variety. While the atmosphere is not really my style, if your in the downtown area and seeking a decent glass of wine and appetizer before dinner, I can endorse Vyne Bistro. This is a place I would attend if I was in the area, but might not drive a distance to enjoy.

Combines the elegance of a modern bistro with the welcoming warmth of the staff. Good food and good wine (as well as good beer!), either sitting at a table or at the bar - where you can share an always interesting conversation with the owners or the regulars, you will feel part of the "vyne family" right away. And there are also the many activities they organize (social mixers, wine tastings, painting lessons while tasting wine, etc)!

They propose 3 or 6 oz glasses of wine. We ordered 6 oz: the glass was barely 4 oz (checked after we went home from measurements we made)... and very expensive. Asked the waitress and alas she lied (or she did not know). I do not like to be fooled. People in the vicinity had the same doubts and asked their waiter too, with the same answer than ours. Sorry this is not how a business should be run. I and my wife will definitively not go back there...ever.

The Syrah was great and the beet and pictashio was tantalizing. Only draw back was I ordered the salmon entre and didn't have time to eat it before my 7pm show.

Our weekly place of choice. Love the small plates. The oxtail pasta dish outta this world. The sliders are my husband's favorite.

Really enjoy Vyne. The wine and food are great and we like the owners a lot. It's one of our favorite San Jose hangouts.

Good wine and relaxing atmosphere; also lots of fun events throughout the month.

Everything was delicious. All the staff were highly professional. The oysters were devoured. The desserts were very tasty. The steaks were incredible. They even brought out some Brussels even though they were not on the menu.

The steaks were good. Only thing was the temperature on the steaks were swapped between me any my guest. The dry aged steak had a great flavor but not overpowering. The cocktails were good.

Went here on a Monday. Was looking for a steak and usual places were closed. My date had the steak and i had the prawns risotto. I got three prawns, one had no meat. My date had the steak, over cooked a bit. Drinks were good. Service was good. A bit over priced for the quality of the food. Probably won't be going back.

For such a higher end place was very disappointing. Sat at bar for cocktails and appetizers. Wife tried to order two different glasses of wine from menu which they didn’t have but they had the third. Ordered baked bre which comes with only a forks to share. No crackers or crustini. Asked the bar tender and he look at us like sorry no. I explained that I’ve never ordered baked bre where you only get to share it with only a forks. So crazy! At least I know now not to come back. Wow!! Plus this place is expensive.

Our experience at The Grill on the Halley was memorable from start to finish. The ambience is a blend of modern sophistication with a cozy touch, making it perfect for both intimate dinners and celebratory gatherings. We began our evening at the bar, where the selection of distinct wines impressed us. The knowledgeable bartender guided us through their offerings, ensuring we started with the perfect wine. Once inside the restaurant, the atmosphere remained warm and inviting, with attentive service enhancing our dining experience. The menu boasts an array of enticing dishes, highlighting high-quality ingredients. We started with a Beef Carpaccio. While it was presented beautifully and tasted exquisite, the portion seemed rather small for sharing. For those with a hearty appetite, ordering an additional appetizer might be wise. The Caesar Salad was more appropriately sized for sharing and featured crisp, fresh ingredients with a delightful dressing. It was a great precursor to the main courses. For our entrees, we had the Filet Mignon and the New York steak. Both steaks were cooked to perfection, tender and bursting with flavor. The Filet Mignon, in particular, was a standout, offering a melt-in-your-mouth experience that truly highlighted the quality of the beef. Overall, The Grill on the Halley offers a top-notch dining experience with a well-curated menu and an elegant yet comfortable atmosphere. It's a great spot for enjoying a fine meal with family and friends. Probably the best wine list in San Jose Downtown, featuring a remarkable selection of notable wines. Although the prices can be quite steep, you can still enjoy a variety of exquisite wines without breaking the bank. For a more affordable experience, consider choosing wines by the glass to savor the variety and quality.

Very rarely do I give a full 5 Star rating. This Resto impressed our party of three. Everything about our dining experience was fantastic. Paul, our server, went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and taken care of throughout the meal. He was a wealth of knowledge with a great sense of humor. The other staff was so helpful and professional as well. Our food was delicious to the last bite and very well presented. We started with fresh baked warm bread and butter and some crispy Calamari. For our Entrées we enjoyed the Nordic Halibut with Brussel Sprouts, Australian Lamb Chops with Lobster Mac-n-Cheese and a perfectly cooked medium rare 8oz. Flat Iron Steak with Miso Glazed Asparagus. Followed by a spongy yet delectable Japanese Cheesecake that was first released to us that night. Also we devoured a scrumptious Blood Orange Bread Pudding. We all agreed that we should have ordered two of those! I treated myself to a Highland Park 12 Scotch served neat that complimented my meal perfectly.

The Grill - review This is a great alternative to Flemings. You’ll love it here if they are fully staffed. The food is really good and the ambiance is great. You can also sit outdoors for a sunny meal with a breeze. This is an anniversary dinner type of place. It’s a place where you have an important meeting. Lots of lawyers hang out here. The prices are such to attract a certain crowd. If you’re looking for exclusivity, it’s your place. Drinks are very strong. Highly recommend the old fashioned Bread is hard and butter is not softened. Ordered lobster bisque but not much lobster in it, not even one small tail of lobster. It is very tasty and rich. It’s delicious. Crab cake looks awful but tastes amazing. Very poor and lazy plating. No pride was taken in the presentation. Pinot Grigio tastes delicious. Parking - little to none Time to be acknowledged immediately Time to be seated - 5 min , very understaffed One group of four gentlemen sat down and then actually left before even getting service because there’s only the bartender helping out everyone in the bar area. Currently 7 customers. They would have made 11. Missed opportunity. 145p arrival on a Monday The host got there at 1:51pm Time to take my order 10 min later Time to get water 10 minutes Time to get drink 13 minutes Time to get appetizer 2:06pm Time to get bread and crab cake 2:08 I will return here but only for a special occasion.

Food is fine. Love their margarita selection. The server we had was cold and not very friendly. Made us feel we weren't welcome or were causing trouble

This is my second time visiting with my colleagues. I liked their frozen margarita, but noticed that their blender may need to be upgraded. Still, it's tasty. The menus are authentic, and there are plenty to choose from. I highly recommend their homemade chips and guacamole, which they make in front of you, fresh, with an option to select with or without cilantro. There is plenty of parking and seating areas, great for a group gathering.

This restaurant was impressive with its service , food and ambiance. The best Mexican restaurant in the peninsula . Very inviting atmosphere. We had chips and guac , veggie fajitas and quesadillas. Every dish was delicious and the salsas were a feast to the taste buds . The signature margarita was so refreshing that I ended up with a second serving. Service was above par , and we enjoyed the server making fresh guac by our table . Highly recommend this restaurant for family dinner and date nights.

Beautiful building and atmosphere. Pleanty of room and spaces for various parties. We went on a holiday so it wasn't too busy. The chips and salsa were nice and hot. Three types of salsa which were ok. I had a virgin Pina colada with was ok. My main couse the stuffed pepper was delicious with beans and rice. My friend got the combination plate with enchiladas and a taco. He said it was very tasty and filling. Overall, it was a nice place to visit. We will surely be back

This review is for the only dish I ordered and it was the Steak de la Casa and it was underwhelming and super fatty. I know ribeye cuts are fatty, but this was not a tasty fatty and chewy. The sauce was okay, but for this price and the quality of steak, it was not worth it. I wanted to like this place based on the glowing reviews, but it was underwhelming for me. Try it out and hopefully it will be a better dining experience for you.

Pedro's has an amazing building and exterior ambiance. The interior is beautifully decorated with natural light and plants. The salsas were fresh and flavorful. Definitely will come back!

Nice spot in Santa Clara. Food is consistently good. Service friendly. Atmosphere charming. I've been going here for years and have great memories of meet ups with old friends and colleagues.

Came here for a quick bite before exploring the rest of the area. Straits during the day is a very chill place to hang out and grab a couple of drinks. Their bar is pretty big and has a good selection of alcohol that could accommodate anyone's preference. The drinks were great and they do not skimp on the alcohol. The small bites we received were just alright, but if you're hungry when it turns into a club, they will hit the spot. The atmosphere here is cool and upbeat, and the service, while a bit slow, compliments the vibe they are trying to set. Overall, an alright place that's not too pricey for what you get.

Straits is a Singaporean, Asian fusion gem on Santana Row. The staff is very knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive, something that lacks in many restaurants these days. While the restaurant has a large inside and bar area (club-like, so just keep that in mind), I highly recommend the outside seating when the weather is nice out (don’t worry they have heaters). Their happy hour is AMAZING, so jump in on SEVEN DAYS A WEEK (unheard of!). Not only are the prices fantastic, but they have a large range of drinks and food that are included. They don’t skimp on the portion size either. Now the food and drink recs!: - Lemongrass highball: even if you’re not a bourbon lover, it’s well-balanced and packs a punch - Crispy chicken “lollipops”: large, perfectly fried and the honey chili sauce…chef’s kiss - Spicy street noodles: sizable shrimp and tofu, awesome flavor and spice, I wish I wasn’t slipping this dish - Beef rendang: the braised beef had some good flavor, but parts of it were super tough and dry. Winning part of the dish was the coconut curry polenta at the bottom. It was a fantastic flavor and texture to add to the dish. Great meal and experience. Can’t wait to come back and try all of the other happy hour dishes!

Good food and good ambience. Perfect place to get some brunch on a sunny day! Tried chicken satay, basil chicken curry, jasmine rice and Salt & pepper shrimp. Basic chicken curry was very flavorful.

Straits is like a club vibe restaurant that I think feels more like a club atmosphere the later in the night you go. The women who work here are all beautiful, giving the club vibe. I came with three coworkers of mine, about 7 minutes before happy hour ended. We told the hostess we wanted happy hour so she sat us in the happy hour area. When we went to order, the waitress told us we had to sit in the happy hour area and moved us again to another table/area. As I was looking at a happy hour menu and about to order to the waiter, a lady came and took the menu out of my hands. She then went across the table to remove the menu from my friend's hands and thankfully they said something (unlike me bc l'm scared of confrontation in any form). The waitress who was taking the menus said this was not the area for happy hour and happy hour was over. It was 5:58 and happy hour ends at 6 so technically we still had time to put an order in. We told them how we already moved tables for happy hour and thankfully our waiter Luis saved the day as he was willing to accommodate our happy hour order. If it wasn't for him, we would have not gotten it bc the lady was dead set on making us move again and telling us happy hour was over. As a business you can either happily invite people to come in and quickly get a last happy hour bite or rudely make it difficult for people to squeeze in a happy hour order and I feel like Straits did the later. It was an unwelcoming vibe and the waitresses didn't seem to know where happy hour was taking place. Is the food good? Yes. The corn fritters and chicken lollipops are always my go tos. The fries are good w the dips and the garlic noodles were good. Happy hour vodka drink was decent too just a bit sweet. Overall, I don't know how to feel about this place. Luis saved the day so I'm thankful they have some caring employees, but I'm scared to go now and not have him bc it would've been a completely different experience.

The restaurant is in amazing location and service is really good but the food tasted stale and lacked flavors. We had ordered chicken satay (2/5) and shrimp fried rice (2/5). The drinks were good. Overall would recommend this place only for vibe.

This restaurant has always been an enigma to me. Been here several times, and I always walk away thinking the food is too sweet, and the attempt to be a restaurant and a night club really doesn’t work, as they are mediocre at both. Plenty of other options at Santana Row.

I visited this restaurant for a team lunch, and it's located in a nice spot with pleasant decor. They offer a separate vegetarian menu with a wide range of options, from starters to main courses, featuring South Asian-style dishes. The corn fritters, spring rolls, and garlic fries were tasty, but the crispy cauliflower was missing the expected batter coating. The street-style noodles in the main course were a bit too sticky, though the veg fried rice was enjoyable. However, considering the price, the food didn't quite meet expectations. Service was slow and lacked efficiency, with only one person taking orders and serving. They also didn't take our main course order until we'd finished the starters. Overall, the experience was decent but not outstanding.

We were a group of six and tried a variety of dishes. The food was average — nothing stood out — but the service was quite poor. Our server kept coming over to ask if we needed anything, but every time we asked them to clear the dirty plates, they would take just one and then disappear without returning. The table stayed messy for a long time, which really affected the overall experience. Not somewhere I’d be in a hurry to return to.

Food: Never been disappointed by them so far. This time we try one of their new menu, the loco moco fried rice. The flavor is nice but will be a bit too salty with the sauce, so you need to be careful. The burger is great! Psss and their appetizers are great too! Service: it’s regular and standard across the chains. Ambiance: casual and suitable for friends and family gatherings at a late time in Bay Area!

Lazy Dog offers a solid late-night happy hour, making it a reliable spot for casual drinks and bites after hours. The menu has a range of crowd-pleasers, but the *crispy tuna bites* really stand out — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly crunchy. Service is generally smooth, and the atmosphere has a relaxed, lodge-style charm that fits both groups and solo diners. Overall, a decent spot to wind down with good deals and a standout dish or two

It’s casual and easy restaurant, walking distance from hotel. Plenty of parking space though can get a bit busier at night. Seeing crowd even during lunch & dinner. I went there to get an American burger to go after my workout; it tastes great! And back to this restaurant for dine in lunch.

Consistently great food & a beautiful restaurant! S/O to Makayla! Great server and service! IG: pjology I’ve always really liked the overall aesthetic of Lazy Dog. The high ceilings make the space feel open and inviting, and everywhere you look there are unique touches — metal dog sculptures, framed photos of dogs and horses, and a beautiful back-lit bar that showcases the full lineup of drinks. The patio is also a great option if you want to sit outside and enjoy some fresh air. Now for the food: Black & Blue Burger — Cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The blue cheese adds a nice tang that pairs perfectly with the bacon and juicy patty. It’s one of my favorite burgers here — rich, savory, and super satisfying. Chicken Tortilla Soup — Classic comfort food. The broth is full of flavor with just the right amount of heat, loaded with tender chicken and topped with crispy tortilla strips and fresh avocado. Always a solid choice. Butter Cake — This is the star of the meal. Served warm, with a slightly crisp top and a rich, buttery center that melts in your mouth. Paired with vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries — it’s easily one of the best desserts I’ve had anywhere. Bonus — they even have a full dog menu if you’re bringing your pup 🐾 Consistently great food, beautiful design, and a place I always enjoy coming back to.

Lazy dog is one of my favorite places to eat for many occasions; and I used to visit weekly after paddle boarding nearby at the stevens creek reservoir. But I am so sad that the sesame crusted ahi tuna is no longer available. That was my absolute favorite dish! Hope you all bring it back!

Food was great. And our service was great. The waitress i dont remember her name. She was an older lady. But she was very nice and very knowledgeable about the menu. She was also very attentive and just checking in on our table. She was also super friendly and nice to our kids. Which is a big plus. Thank you.

We ordered tacos , enchilada mole, and salmon burger. Food tasted okay. It's not really good but not bad, mediocre. The food prices are a bit on a high side. Good service. The waiter/s are very attentive.

It was quite unexpected to see such a beautiful decor and style inside the restaurant, made you feel like your in a place far away from SF. We ordered guacamole and chips to start and tacos for lunch. We head some questions about the manue and the waiter brought out a sample to try, so nice. Definitely a place will revisit next time we are in the area.

We’ve lived in downtown San Jose for a few years but never had a meal here. We tried a few Friday evenings but it was always too crowded, I guess a good sign :) We had an afternoon lunch and really enjoyed our experience. The service was great, food was delicious, and overall the vibe was nice. We ordered the fresh guacamole, a mezcal and tamarind drink, the tacos, and a chicken burrito. We will be back!

Helpful friendly professional staff. Great suggestions from behind the bar. Great vibe. Delish food

We just got lunch here and absolutely loved the experience. The food was incredible, every dish was so good! Our server was so personable and made us feel genuinely welcome the whole time, even chatting with us about the music. The owner even stopped by our table to chat, and he was so kind. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of charm. You can really tell this place is run with care and pride. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The food was abysmal. The guac was under seasoned. No like, no salt. The mole chicken was bitter and the chicken had a chicken-y taste to it. The chicken tacos were dry and lacked taste too. The only saving grace was the tamarind non alcoholic drink. Great vibe though but unsurprisingly empty.

We’ve lived in downtown San Jose for a few years but had never dined here before. We’d tried stopping by on a few Friday evenings, but it was always packed—a good sign! :) This time, we came for a late lunch and really enjoyed the experience. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the overall vibe was relaxed and welcoming. We ordered the fresh guacamole, a mezcal and tamarind cocktail, tacos, and a chicken burrito—everything was great. We’ll definitely be back!

place with alot of intimate spaces. Fast service and food was good. The fresh cut tortilla chips were delicious. The mushroom tacos were excellent as well as the salmon taco. The chicken enchiladas were yummy as well. Would surely return..

One of our favorite places to get a great cocktail and gorgeously done tacos that aren't what you normally find - we especially love the scallop tacos and the chicken al pastor! The drinks are well thought out and beautifully executed - their twist on a spicy margarita is especially tasty. Go for date night or go with friends and don't forget to get their house made chips and trio of salsas! But try and grab a reservation if you can, the restaurant is wonderfully cozy and fills up super fast.

On a Sunday evening, we headed to Zona Rosa and were seated right away. The waitress, who was super friendly, kicked things off with their homemade chips and dips. For appetizers, we tried the ceviche tostada, which I’d rate a solid 9 out of 10, and the quesadilla verduras, which was honestly a 10 out of 10 – one of the best I’ve ever had! The restaurant itself had a lovely vibe, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made the evening even more enjoyable. The staff really went out of their way to make everything comfortable, and I honestly enjoyed everything we ordered, which isn’t something I can say often. It was genuinely one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a while. The combination of great service, tasty drinks, and the charming setting really made it a memorable night.

First time there and was greeted with welcoming warmth. Very much appreciated. The service was excellent and beyond, too the point I made a new friend. The recommendations from A -Z was awesome. I really enjoyed myself there. Will definitely visit again.

Beautiful little restaurant in a beautiful area. This is our favorite date night restaurant. The margaritas are delicious! All of the drinks are. Try the esquites! The guac is from perfectly fresh avocadoa. The mole enchiladas are perfect (not chocolatey). The tacos are fire.

This is a great Mexican place. Good ambience, very good service, and excellent food. Everything is super delicious. Apps to desserts!!!

We love Zona Rosa’s food and service! We go often and we think their Happy Hour offerings are incredible! Great selection and discounted Margaritas! We had great service from Porfirio on our last visit. He’s super friendly and attentive-and got our orders to us quickly and got them just right!!

Came here for a weekend lunch. Had high hope for the quality of food due to pretty good rating on google map. We were so disappointed with the fried chicken and waffle. Chicken was dry and the waffle is tasteless. Scone is alright but not that tasty. Pull pork - hm… has it better somewhere else….. anyhow, they have a full bar there, maybe it’s good to drink here instead, and order some food along with it.

Service and atmosphere are good, and if you're just coming in for drinks - ignore this review and do go! BUT if it's food you're after - almost every dish, except for the dhrikoo, was mediocre to simply not edible. And I'm not setting the bar at restaurant level or the prices they ask - even if this was $10 street food, I wouldn't return. And I do like fried food, St Louis style etc etc. But they just don't know how to make decent food. Their signature fried chicken - OK crispy crust, but bland and tasteless on the inside. The ribs - don't "fall off the bone" even if you pry them off. In fact we had to return them because they were so chewy. The sides like potatoes or asparagus - sticky and heavy. Fried tomatoes - way too much crust can barely taste the tomatoes. And the list goes on. I didn't even bother tasting the dessert beighnets so can't comment on it. Sometimes when there's a one off dish I chalk it off as a fluke and give the place another shot. But here everything tastes bad (cocktail was good, though) - save your money and go elsewhere

We decided to stop here a day after returning from New Orleans because we missed the flavors. We got Gumbo, which tasted like it was cooked with three day old seafood that was left out. It had such an unsavory taste to it. I got the Muffuletta, which was okay hence the two stars. The Charbroiled oysters came out to the size of one oyster I’d get in New Orleans and with 1/10 the flavor and sauciness…$18???? what a rip off. I can get a dozen oysters there for $25. If I were them I’d cut the pricing down to $10 . I can get an oyster for $2 each from my local seafood store and they taste great. At local Oyster bars around here we get 4-6 for less than $18 dollars The beignets and here is what really made me decide I just had to leave a review. I’ve eaten beignets all over New Orleans, and I tell you what, if people were served these there, this restaurant would be shut down. Service was mid and they forgot we even wanted beignets when they were about to hand us the check, even though they asked us if the beignets should come after the main course and we said yes They were soggy and undercooked, and in fact were so bad I decided to book a trip back to New Orleans to cleanse my pallet with authentic beignets.

As someone who truly loves gumbo, I can honestly say this is the worst gumbo I've ever had. The broth was as thin as water, completely lacking the proper thickness and flavor. I ordered two portions, and one of them even had a bitter taste. When I mentioned it to the server, they insisted that "this is how gumbo is supposed to taste." If you enjoy paying money for bad food, this is the place for you.

Came here for happy hour and had a great experience. Food was delicious and portion sizes were big enough to share. Everything we ordered was delicious. Gumbo and beignets are a must if you visit. I would have given 5 stars if we received everything we ordered. I ordered coffee with the beignets but our waitress forgot.

A world class meal in a hidden gem. I had the smoked pork Jambalaya special, and it was perfection… Smokey from the ham and earthy from some tasty mushrooms. My wife went rogue with the Gnocchi, but to our surprise it had a great southern twist and tasty local veg. Pretty remarkable that we have access to this type of quality in this area.

Holy hamsters, this place has got the crispiest fried chicken (in lard of course) and sooo much wonderful powdered sugar on the Beignets, kiddo loved it. We can tell the kitchen loves to cook and the bartenders know how to make drinks. Highly recommend this to any eaters out there who need to eat! Come on!

Food is yummy. I only have 1 real issue. I ordered cucumber wakame salad. There was NO cucumber. It was a seaweed salad, which tasted fine. Edit: taking one more star off. Dessert order was ice cream. I specifically asked for silverware. Wait staff confirmed its there. I sit down to eat and there's no spoon. Knife can only do so much with ice cream 🙄

I came by the restaurant on make music day to find that the venue is absolutely stunning. There was great music along with amazing food. I had a couple of veggie options(flat bread with veggies especially) that were really great. Seems like they have fine dining and club nights along with weekday comedy and open mic! Hidden in San Jose downtown @ ground floor on Sheraton - Mosaic lounge.

R&B Brunch at Mosaic is ridiculous. I highly recommend. Great food, music, atmosphere and hospitality! A special shout out to Kush. He's doing his thang!

Mosaic Restaurant and Ultra Lounge Mosaic Restaurant and Ultra Lounge offers a trendy, upscale dining and nightlife experience. The menu features a mix of contemporary American cuisine with global influences, including flavorful appetizers, entrees, and creative cocktails. The atmosphere is stylish and modern, often enhanced with ambient lighting and lounge music, making it a popular spot for evening gatherings and social events. Service is usually professional, though the lounge can get crowded on weekends. It’s ideal for those looking to combine a fine dining experience with a lively, social vibe.

I had one of the most disappointing dining experiences here. After being seated, it took the servers 20 minutes just to come to our table and take drink orders. We thought things would get better after that, but it only went downhill. We ordered a few appetizers, and the first one didn’t arrive until an hour later. The rest trickled out one by one over the next hour, so by the time we got everything, half of it was cold and no one was even hungry anymore. To make things worse, the food itself was less than marginal, bland, poorly presented, and definitely not worth the long wait. The staff seemed totally unorganized and didn’t check in on us at all during the long wait. For the prices they charge, you’d expect at least basic service and timely food. Sadly, this was a total letdown. I wouldn’t recommend this place unless you enjoy waiting forever for your meal.

Ordered an old fashioned, advertised as $18. Bill came out reflecting $22. Sat at the bar, as the second person there. Took them over 5 minutes to acknowledge me and over 10 minutes to order a drink. Way overpriced and service sucks.

I've not had a worse experience anywhere before. - We were seated for 40 minutes before someone took our order - They were out of half of the things on the menu - Order took another 50 minutes to arrive - When food arrived, we could tell that it's microwaved - No one brought the check to us for 20 mins. - We ourselves got up and gave the cashier the Credit card at the end and walked out.

The place looks great and had a cool feel to it. The coffee was good too. The service was bad though. They were open and I think they were eating breakfast when I walked in. The person that helped me seemed annoyed she had to get up to help me. No greeting or smile. She probably should of had a cup of coffee. The raspberry something looks good but was super sugary and Dry.

Great coffee shop. House blend is smooth and mellow. Plenty of space to work and hang out. There is even an upstairs area with a huge skylight.

I'll start by saying that the customer service was great.. the staff were very nice. The food and general service was very poor. Coffee wasn't great and definitely over priced, as well as the sandwich I had being stale and old... and over priced. Overall... if there's nothing else around you can come here for a small meal but... if you have other options I suggest you take them.

Caffe Frascati instantly felt like home to me. Being new to San Jose, I have tried a few cafes and coffee shops looking for one that is a perfect fit for my tastes. Here the environment is casual, the furniture is Woody and cozy, and the tea is delicious. I haven't yet had any espresso here, but it smells amazing. As I write a musician is setting up to play in the corner, and another patron is gazing over the mezannine rail sipping coffee and typing away at a laptop. If you've been to school in New Orleans, you might know about the Neutral Ground. This is the closest cafe I've found to capturing the personality of that perfect place.

Tuesday night open mic night is a blast. The coffee is great and so is the service. Also just has a really great vibe, best coffee place in San Jose by far.

I had an hour to spend while waiting for my next activity and needed a space to enjoy a cup of tea and get a little work done. This was the perfect spot! Good food/drink, service, and atmosphere. As a fan of The Office and Parks and Recreation, I loved seeing the photos of Asiz Ansari and Creed. :)

I only wish I were here when they do live music. Nice clean place with good coffee and what not. Reasonable prices and cozy atmosphere (especially on the loft level)

Came here for happy hour to try and will definitely be back. Super fun place and cute. As soon as you enter the staff is friendly and attentive. Happy hour deals are good and in include food and drinks. The happy hour catfish pieces were delicious. Has outdoor and indoor seating and a lot of great seafood options. We got the Philly cheesesteak and salmon sandwich and both were amazing. The drink was delicious and large and great deal. Overall will be back. I want to try the brunch menu since it looks really good. This is a fun place and enjoyable place for a meal and drink. Highly recommend. Staff was so friendly and inviting, and food amazing. Win win.

This was my first time ever having a seafood boil. Blue Water Crab in Milpitas set the bar high. We ordered the 3 lbs crab boil with medium flavor. It came loaded with garlic, rich flavor, truly finger licking good. I am not a clam guy but every bite had flavor. The shrimp were tasty. The corn and potatoes were juicy, cooked just right. We also tried the coconut shrimp plus crab cakes, both came out delicious without feeling too heavy. A couple of cold beers made it a perfect meal. I will be back.

Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by a gentleman who set a positive tone, but the service soon declined. Our waitress was initially pleasant, but after delivering our food, she was rarely seen, which meant my daughter couldn't get a water refill as she found the food a bit spicy. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy, yet we had to wait to catch the waitress's attention for basic requests like a to-go box and the bill. While the food was good, the overall dining experience was marred by the lack of attentive service. With a more attentive staff, this place could be elevated from good to great. It might be fine for a laid-back meal, but for those expecting prompt service, consider other venues. If the service improves, it would certainly be worth revisiting.

Support local businesses. Casual atmosphere . Good food, great service It's definitely a place to go chill. Watch sports have some drinks and family Friendly . Open till midnight, try the happy hour

Came on a Monday for dinner and the food was great! Super fresh seafood, perfectly cooked. Our waiter was helpful and friendly, and the restaurant spacious and clean. Would come back

Excellent food and atmosphere. This is more of a diner experience rather than just seafood. You can get breakfast, lunch country fried steak, etc, even a Philly cheese. The food and service was very good for our visit.

While the atmosphere and service were fun and inviting, the food was disappointing. We ordered the lobster roll, crab cake entree and child's spaghetti. The child's spaghetti was the only hit. The crab cake entree was oily and salty. When we mentioned it to the staff, the manager gladly took the entree off of our bill. The lobster was not as fresh as we hoped it would be. It tasted previously frozen and the roll was soggy. My husband took the lobster meat and put it in the bisque instead and that tasted good. This would probably be good place for just drinks and appetizers.

TLDR: Go for the beer, bonus points if you love fries. Be forewarned, when we were there, the food menu was burgers and fries *only*. That said, they're damn good burgers and fries, just don't expect other options. Beer options were excellent. I enjoyed the Imperial Stout from Russian River and my wife liked the hard seltzer from someone or other. No frills, but did have TVs with football on. Beer, burgers, and football means I'd go back.

Great food & great beer! I LOVED their sours, and the grilled cheese is super ooey-gooey with a nice crispy buttery crunch to it, although it filled me up REALLY fast and I ended up taking 1/2 home. Overall, great place and I will be back!

I went with a large group of friends and we are all able to sit it the same table thanks to the outdoor seating in the back patio. The Fries were very crispy and the smash burger was extremely smashed(I’ve never had such a thin burger but it was great).

My favorite bar to start off an evening out. They have a rotating tap with a great selection of microbrews for everyone's taste. I enjoy sours which they always have a few delicious options. Burgers and fries also. Veggie burger option available.

A fantastic place to have a good beer. I had a Oak Town and loved the taste of it. We ended up here after a long walk with a group of people. There is lot of sitting area in the back side of this place. The lightnings and the wooden plane setup at the back gives you a feel of belonging. Prices were reasonable, order and delivery time is very fast. Staff was helpful in making some good recommendation to the group.

Good craft beers selection. Love the sour beer on the list. Good staff and nice decor. They also support local artists by displaying their art for sale. The tables and bar stools are very comfortable and make it A good place to hang out with fellow beer buddies. Must try when in downtown San Jose.

Came here for drinks after work. There is ample space, and when we came around 5:30 on a Friday, there weren’t many people yet, but by the time we left, it was packed. I can see why because it provides a friendly, laid-back atmosphere. The service is super friendly and I liked their selection of drinks. We chose to sit outside for some fresh air. The succulents on the wall and the string lights were cute. I’ve been here before to eat spicy chicken sandwiches, but for now, it seems like the only things on their menu are the duck fat fries and the Smashburger. The Smashburger is simple and savory. It really is smashed; the meat is flat and it looks like it’s almost a cheese crisp. The fries were crispy and delicious. They are thick and crinkle cut. I really loved their garlic aïoli because it really packs a spicy punch. You can also ask for spicy ketchup. I paired this with the Board Meeting beer. It’s a brown ale that looks like a stout/porter. I’m not sure if the food here is rotated or anything, but I would love to come back!

Every Food item on this menu is amazing. Good service and a great Happy hour with food and drink specials. Tons of tvs. Great sports bars to catch a game all year!!!

Great place for dinner if you live around this area. It’s a sports bar and restaurant that serves great burgers and steaks

came by on a thursday evening & enjoyed their menu specials: ½ price off bottles of wine, & $20 prime rib. liked their food so much i came by again the next night. clam chowder was warm & thick & savoury, matrix sushi roll was my favourite! honestly i've never had a sushi roll that's so yummy before. coconut shrimp was crunchy & fresh, but it was the garlic fries accompanying it that was to-die-for! service is generally prompt, but on days where they have specials, be prepared to wait for a table during peak meal times. still, i think the food is worth it. 😋

We had a really good time sitting there laughing and talking. It was great. Atmosphere seemed to be wonderful place to go. We didn't really stay at this location very long

You can't go wrong with $25 prime rib on Thursday and Sunday nights.

Nice outdoor “patio” despite TV not working. The not-working TV is forgivable due to the staff truly not neglecting us as the only people on the patio. It has the tap beer one would expect at a sports bar restaurant. The great highlight is the food, I had some of the best potstickers in this mixed-cuisine restaurant and also enjoyed some of my friend’s jalapeño calamari. I enjoyed that big Cobb Salad which was deliciously nourishing. Most of all, I had the New York Cheesecake dessert with a good amount of fresh berries. That cheesecake dessert was one true case maker for any theory claiming that cheesecake was invented as a vehicle for kids to eat their berries. DELICIOUS!!!!

Pretty good finger food. The orange chicken was very tasty. We were able to snatch a seat near the bar even though they told us there would be a 2hour wait 😂

Spacious, albeit rather bare, rooms spread over two floors + roof top with DJ Set Up. Well-mixed long drinks and cocktails. The staff is very attentive and speaks English, Spanish, and German. The garlic fries are highly recommended!

The speakeasy is such a nice place to sit down with friends and enjoy some well crafted cocktails. The potatoes are unique and delicious, highly recommended. The bar tenders are super friendly!

I am rating this bar a 5 simply because of the amazing service we received from Rinada. She was kind and helpful and made the BEST lemon drop I had in my life!!! Honorable mention is Robin with the stache and lushes locks, come for the lemon drops and lushes locks 🫶🏼

There was no wait on a Saturday at 6 pm. The staff was friendly and attentive. Quality of the food wasn't outstanding, but the service more than made up for it. It's a great place to get friends together and share small plates. They turn the restaurant into more of a nightclub after 10:30.

Renata and Robin gave us the best lemon drops i’ve ever had! incredibly talented and such great service! WE HAD THE BEST TIME!!

We were lucky to get a table as this place had three private parties going on. We managed to eat in the outdoor tent area which was cooler than inside but still ok. We each ordered appetizer size food and was a perfect amount for the not so hungry. Prawns were cooked perfectly and paired well with the mixed greens. Our waitress, Nicole, wasn’t so great. She poured a taste of wine and left the table with our bottle for all of us to pour ourselves. She was not attentive and seemed very quick to try and run away from us. We will be back for the food and hope we don’t sit in her section.

Honestly, this place has always been mid and the bouncers are real selective about who they allow in often based solely on appearance like tattoos or some other arbitrary thing. As if this place was such an exclusive hang or something, it's kinda funny 🤦🏾‍♂️

Great beer garden with delicious, super light and flavorful German beers! nice shared table policy, and they accept dogs in the beer garden. The food is also delicious. The only thing I missed was a "sausage board" of some kind.

Had the Jager schnitzel and a cherry cider, they went really well together. The mushroom sauce was just about perfect. Followed up with an apple strudel for dessert. It was so much food and so good. The waiter, Anders I believe, was very friendly and came by frequently to check on everyone. Plenty of outdoor seating. Can't recommend this restaurant enough.

Last Friday, I tried this place, and I had the most beautiful time and service there! I didn't make a reservation, so they only have tables in the restaurant area, but I didn't mind, and let me tell you, the restaurant area (upstairs) atmosphere is lovely! The decoration, attention to detail, and services are more than friendly -you feel special (as you should) there. I enjoyed: - Jager Fries (creamy mushroom sauce, baked with gruyere cheese- Cheese Croquettes (spicy lingonberry aioli) - Sausage bites - Sausage Plate (comes with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut) - Apfelstrudel If you want to have a great time with friends, family, or yourself, go for it!

Love this place and come regularly. The food is great and flavorful. The beer selection is smaller than other places but everyone I’ve tried has been very good quality. I recommend the pretzel, the vegan option, and the curryworst. All high quality and great flavors. Must stop. It is also dog friendly!

I came here with high hopes for the food and beer and I can say with 100% honesty that this is one of the most authentic German experiences I've ever had outside of actually being in Germany. The food was excellent, the beers served in the correct glassware, and the atmosphere was welcoming thanks to the owner's friendly attitude and attention to his patrons. I'd give Ludwig's 6 stars if I could.

We visited today for the first time and were not disappointed! The draft beers were fresh and cold, the pretzels perfectly made and the sausages delicious! They are very COVID-19 conscious/safe, have hand sanitizer readily available for you at the table and no-contact menu/ordering/payment. We were served quickly, the food was very fresh and the service was amazing! We would definitely return!

Great authentic German food and drink. The placemat even came from Germany! I had the pork schnitzel my husband had the chicken schnitzel schnitzel and my son had the hamburger. The potato salad was real German potato salad. The cucumber salad was delicious. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice atmosphere with a casual setting. Outdoor seating with heaters on the patio.

Very cool place. Staff is gorgeous, including the guys shucking and plucking. Got a tuna tartare, a spoon appetizer, a dozen oysters, and some sake. All beautifully presented and all delicious. . May have been a little busy or something but service was decent at best. But pretty lol 😂🤷🏾‍♀️

This place is awesome. I ordered sushi gluten free and the owner working the floor let me know the sushi was made with vinegar and not safe to eat. He went to the neighboring vietnamese restaurant to get safe rice to accomodate my order. I was so impressed with the way they went above and beyond to accomodate my needs. The food was really good as was beverage selection available. I would definitely recommend this place especially because the owner is so invested in quality service!

Food: the sushi is sub par. Not overly diverse menu. Don’t go for the range of sushi options. The quality of the sushi ordered was adequate for the price charged. Right to left: spicy tuna, hickory, the dragon. Btw the chopsticks suck. Atmosphere: it is rather loud so having conversation is not overly easy without having to constantly repeat yourself. Service: is slow. The wait staff seems otherwise distracted. Getting water refilled is a challenge.

The vodka in the standard blush drink tasted a little cheap- it tastes much better if you get the $2 substitution for a better vodka. The waitress was very nice and offered to take the blush drink off the tab as my friend really disliked it and didnt drink it.

I had a night out with the girls. Their food was great especially the rolls and sashimi. I don't drink often but their cocktail blushie was delicious!

If you're looking for oysters downtown then this is the place to go. Always good food/drinks and great service.

5 stars don't come easy. I travel a LOT as an engineer so I'm in a lot of diff restaurants. This place was cool... came in mid-week... food was excellent and the service was really cool... attentive, polite, and real (hate fake nice). So came back tonight on a Friday... get this... service is still cool and attentive... and the food is spot on! And, multiple people stop by to see how the meals going and if I need anything. Like the teamwork. Had oysters, the mango ceviche so far... both excellent! Check it out... couple different options for atmosphere between the bar, sushi bar, and outdoor seating with outdoor couches, etc. Nice vibe!

Hosted an event here and the staff was PHENOMENAL. The coordinating of the event with Julia was effortless and smooth. The staff that evening was exceptional at taking our groups food and drink orders and making sure we were well cared for. We will be back! We also had some appetizers for the event that were perfect. The fruit platter was amazing and all the fruit was sweet and perfectly ripe! That's rare for a fruit platter anywhere... Potato skins and chips and guac were delicious as well!

If you're looking for a proper British fish and chips experience, this is, unfortunately, not it. You get steak fries, the fish was fine but not amazing, the atmosphere was just a sports bar. I think it would have been better sitting outside, but still the food was average and the prices were surprisingly high. Just cooking real chips from potatoes would really elevate this and make it much better I think. Overall not terrible, but not what I was looking for!

We were looking forward to enjoying some potato skins along with traditional English fare. We arrived around 5 PM, and the restaurant was not very crowded, possibly due to a graduation party wrapping up. We ordered a Diet Coke, a beef Cornish pastie, and sweet potato fries as a substitute for the mashed potatoes. Unfortunately, my Diet Coke was overlooked, and the pastie arrived with mashed potatoes instead of the sweet potatoes I requested. The biggest disappointment was that the potato skins were unavailable, which made us wonder if they might be pre-frozen and reheated. On a positive note, I appreciated that they substituted my mashed potatoes as requested. Additionally, since the drink was forgotten, I didn’t end up being charged for it. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the beef pastie was quite tasty and generously sized.

I’ve been here twice. Food is pretty much “bar food”, so don’t have high expectations. I knew it’s not going the best meal ever….!!! Of course combine that with British culinary and you know you’re not eating anything special. The bangers are usually the ordinary sausage and chips are potato fries. Last time I had the stake and kidney which I regret ordering it. This time I thought I’ll try something else. I didn’t have the Shepherds pie but I’ve heard from others it’s not that great. We ordered four different meals. The stake sandwich looked ok. The Cornish pastie was super dry and we had to ask for extra Garvey and that didn’t help either. Same thing with the chicken pot pie it was too dry. The side veggies were steamed. I usually pick on my family’s dishes when there’s veggies but these looked nothing appetizing so I didn’t even bother tasting them. I ordered the Patti melt which I think it was the most better looking of all four meals and yet not the best Patti melt out there. The Patti was much smaller than the rye bred and the bread was somewhat to the burned side and greasy. I ordered a side salad but the lettuce was old and turning yellowish red around the edges. I ate my food because I was hungry but I don’t think I would order food at this place again. If it wasn’t for my family, I would r even go there again. Service was very slow but the waitress was new and she apologized for being new and not familiar with everything.

Divey as expected maybe. Fun spot with a lot of space though. But not much night life around it. Kind of a townie Bart do not as fun for visitors unless you’re looking the that. Service wasn’t very warm but they did the job. Try the sticky toffee pudding. Delicious.

Happy Hour is theeeee best!!!!! Very reasonable prices on food as well as beer with a great selection. I found My bar in the San Jose area!! The bartenders are so nice. The Owner is very interpersonal with the customers, this is an amazing place to jus eat, drink a pint or two and watch sports. The regulars are so nice to. I was welcomed with open arms here. The food is AMAZING as well! SHOUT OUT TO THE KITCHEN STAFF!! SHOUTS OUT TO GABE BEHIND THE BAR AS WELL!!! I recommend this place to anyone near and far!!

Great place to watch NFL on sundays. Multiple screens so you can see the games no matter you sit. Staff and waitresses were friendly and matter sure we were OK. With Dj Brotha Reese playing music made it a party atmosphere.

Excited for a later happy hour (shout out for having it til 6pm), but the experience was meh overall. The service is always a struggle, having to ask for our drink (singular) multiple times as well as one of our dishes that took ages to come out. The drink itself was great (a spicy Bloody Mary), and the food was mixed. The sushi rolls were fine - not great, not terrible. Generally, a good amount of meat and didn’t overdo it on the rice amount, but nothing overly fancy or flavorful. The show stopper was the dry rub wings. Six wings, and they were massive. SO flavorful, juicy, super crunchy, and totally worth the double fry. Some of the happy hour items are a good deal, while others aren’t, it’s a mix. Just go in with minimal expectations and you’ll be fine.

Wow! I came here for the happy hour and our table was never empty. We kept ordering more and more food like we had a “hollow leg”. I loved the dishes that had truffle as fries and truffle salmon roll. There is plenty to choose from their happy hour menu. All staff members were very accommodating. Chris, our server, made our birthday celebration very special. We went on a Saturday, so there was a lot to see and hear when walking around The Row. Check out the all day happy hour on Monday and Thursday.

Uni Pasta It is creamy with house-made pasta that had a great texture. Definitely a standout dish! Manila Clams It cooked with white wine, butter, and bacon. I couldn’t taste the wine and felt like they added a bit too many herbs. It wasn’t my favorite dish. Food was on point, but unfortunately, the service didn’t quite live up to the quality of the dishes. It wasn’t bad, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

I recommend going elsewhere on Santana Row. I had oysters and the branzino; my friend had the salmon. Oysters were good. But our main dishes, we agreed, were quite flavorless. We left disappointed. The price is also pretty outrageous for what we got. It came to ~$90 per person. Overall this is not a place I'd recommend. To make matters worse, we both fell ill a few days later. While I can't say for sure it was from our dinner at EMC, I suspect it was.

Julia was such a sweet server! She explained the food portions to us very well since it was our first time eating here.

Came here with the fam and we enjoyed the food here. My kids love the garlic noodles and I love the shrimp. The sushi was delicious too. They have good price for Happy Hour and we will try it next time.

Love the atmosphere here! Their new happy hour 7 days a week from 3-6 and all day happy hours on Mondays and Thursdays!- Always great staff and great food!- Great place for lunch or dinner or just using it before or after your meals- thank you as usual for a wonderful time today.

1. The Branzino Fish - was too good - we ordered it twice on the same day! Must try! All the google reviews mentioned and it was worth it! 2. Nest Dessert - was also very good! 3. Meso’s Brick Chicken - was very well cooked and soft, it is mild in spices but flavourful but cannot beat the fish! 4. Mutton Flatbread- Mutton was very well cooked and tasty, perfect spices and taste. 6. Trio Dip - Okay 7. Mushroom flatbread - okaish 8. Brussel Sprouts - can skip 9. Sautéed Prawns - Very flavourful, perfectly cooked and juicy - will recommend. 10. Passion Fruit Ginger Soda Drink - Good - not too sweet- perfect for my taste. The only con is limited menu - only one chicken dish. Hospitality - was top notch, staff recommended good options to us and food was quickly served. Very transparent on timing and other details. We did not feel rushed even at a 8.45 PM reservation on a Friday night. Vibe was pretty good and lit!

Beautiful atmosphere inside and out. We sat outside and there were plenty of shady cozy spots. Service was excellent, very attentive wait staff who came to the table often to check in. The food was very tasty, and flavorful. Green eggs and lamb, was filling with the chili hot sauce it made it even better. The Brussel sprouts were cooked perfectly and have great flavor. The spritzer drinks were also very refreshing. I would come back for sure . The only thing that was a bit annoying was the online menu was not what was available, because we had dishes that we wanted to try based from the online menu and they were only available during the week. However the food and service made up for it.

Tried this place for the first time. The ambience was lovely and inviting, but the food was a bit underwhelming. We ordered the five-dip appetizer and Brussels sprouts, which was good. For the main course, we had the mushroom flatbread and green goddess pasta, both were just okay. Service felt a little rushed, as the mains came out right after the appetizers, but the staff was responsive and took them back when we mentioned the table was too crowded.

Great food! Great vibe, especially if you take the outdoor seating on a nice day or evening. Service was average, but maybe a little slow. Because of the outdoor seating perhaps?? Here’s what we had. The Mezze Platter appetizer was three dips, hummus, tzatziki, and I forgot the third. These were served with soft pita bread and crispy fried bread chips. All good for mixing and matching. Then first main course was a whole fried fish. I believe it was grilled. Very tasty and quite a lot of meat, believe it or not. So good! And half chicken on a bed of greens. It sounds basic but it was moist and just enough salt to make it tasty. Excellent. We really enjoy the outdoor seating. It’s on the west de facing the top of Santana Row so it’s lively and energetic. It’s well kept and they even had more cushiony seats right next to us. Kind of like patio furniture. I feel the best times to come are spring and summer to get the entire vibe.

I was really impressed by this Mediterranean spot and I’m so happy we have it in the south Bay. The meatballs were to die for and all the dishes really complimented each other. The service is great. My only complaint as I don’t love how close the seat is. So maybe reserve and ask for a table not a both… otherwise great date night spot!

absolutely worth the price point. the branzino was cooked to perfection. the chicken was delicious. so were the potatoes. not the biggest fan of the appetizers but the entrees were excellent!

wonderful Mediterranean restaurant with a great happy hour menu. We love their food and drinks, but it was a bit quiet in the afternoon when we went. So we love to come back to have a proper meal here.

A quick place to grab lunch if you are in or around Santana Row. Place looks pretty busy during dinner. Specializes in tacos but has other options like salads on the menu. Decent choice of cocktails and drinks. Food and drinks are presented well. Food is a bit on the blander side. Plenty of free parking available in the garage close by.

Great tasting tacos and chips. Guacamole is made at the restaurant. The fish tacos are very good. I enjoy the various sauces that accompany the tacos. Recommend dining in as you get chips and salsa. The pricing is more than what you might get at a street cart, but it is also Santana Row.

The pics may look fine but other than its blend taste, the restaurant is quite chaos and unsanitized. I have to change my drinking glass three times in the first 5 min I sit down. Every time they give me a dirty one. Some with food residues floating in the water. Some with leaf remaining on the glass. Really bad first impression. And their food is just on the OK side so it's not enough to save its reputation.

Very friendly staff, quick service and good tasting tacos. We had 1 fish taco and 4 carnitas, as well as kids quesadilla. All well made and came quickly and hot. I really enjoyed the salsa..it has just the right amount of spice and mint for freshness. Variety of other salsas served with tacos was also very good, I like the habonero salsa..nice heat but not overwhelming.

Food and drinks here are fairly good for Santana Row. Had fish and steak tacos. Service was slow even though the restaurant was not even half full on a Saturday. Not recommended if you're in a hurry. (Yes, the chips and salsa are great as mentioned by other reviewers)

Wonderful place for a night out. I went here with my family and we ordered fried avocado tacos and chicken ting (?) tacos. Both were delicious. We didn’t try any cocktails so cannot rate them. I’ve to also comment on the free nachos that are served. Delish! Must visit. One star less because of the loud music, can keep the volume a bit less and no option for hard shell tacos. Otherwise 👍👍👍 “Thank you for the clarification Mr./Ms. Owner. I specifically had asked for hard shell tacos but the server said it’s not available. Not a criticism, just telling you why I mentioned it in the review. Regardless, you can count on us for being regulars. Thank you for a fun evening.”

Tacos were great!!! Pricey! What was odd for me was that the Tap beer was 17oz.(very odd size, usually everyone does 16 oz.) and when we received our beers it did not look 17oz, as glass(full of water in the pic) was kind of small. I had a 16.9oz water bottle with me so I poured my full water bottle into my empty beer glass. And yes, I was right water overflowed for atleast 2oz. Talked to the waitress and she answered that she only works there :).

Pacific Catch in Campbell offers a vibrant mix of Pacific-inspired seafood in a casual yet polished setting. Located in the Pruneyard Shopping Center, it’s a popular spot for lunch or dinner, with dishes like the Guaca-Poke starter, fish taco trio, and seared Ahi burger standing out for their freshness and flavor. The menu leans toward sustainable ingredients and bold flavors, and the service is generally friendly and attentive — especially when dining indoors. Outdoor seating is available, though it can be breezy and slower-paced. The atmosphere is lively, sometimes bordering on noisy during peak hours, and parking can be a challenge. While most dishes are well-prepared, a few — like the spicy noodle bowls or certain taco platters — have received mixed feedback for portion size or seasoning. Still, the variety of options, including gluten-free and vegetarian choices, makes it easy to find something satisfying. Happy Hour deals and half-price wine nights add extra value for return visits.

food here is solid... usually come for happy hour as that is the best value. the shrimp tacos are delish. I've tried the ahi poke with chips twice and eh, it's just okay. i always enjoy their agave margaritas.

Tartar sauce has a kick, decent food. Typical atmosphere, service was decent.

Great drinks at happy hour and food was flavourful and delicious. I don’t often see Korean food mixed in with American so it was a pleasant (and delicious) surprise!

I am a creature of habit and I always get the Korean BBQ rice bowl, which is delicious, but tonight I decided to try something new and it was absolutely delicious! Sorry for the picture not being great but I had already started eating it! I ordered the macadamia nut covered grilled sea bass with Arugula corn salad and purple sweet potato. Everything was delicious! I will definitely order this entrée again! I've never tried purple sweet potato before but it was really sweet and yummy! The sea bass was a nice portion size with a generous amount of macadamia nuts on top and the Arugula corn salad with chunks of nectarine was delicious! Highly recommend this entrée! 😋

There are some fish options; not too much though. You can combine with different sides; definitely recommending the sprouts.

We've been coming to Pacific Catch in Campbell consistently for over a year now. The food is always fresh and well-prepared. Our favorite server, Gabby, is the kindest person you could meet! My daughter always requests to come here because the service and food are impeccable.

Interesting restaurant, we had dinner here during a Monday and almost ordered the entire menu, food was fresh and we liked most of it, like most of the US though most of it is fried / deep fried with not many options for people on a diet. I really recommend the Aranchini and the salads, the Steak took some time to get to our table and was OK, a bit too overcooked for my taste. Pricing was high and if you're not from the US you'll be surprised the the extras, we had a large group fee 20% added to our bill as we were a group of 6, there was a normal tax added and another San Jose 6% tax on top, all of this was before adding the Tip. Last call for food order was 20:00 which was early I guess. See photos for all the meal options

The food and drinks were good, with plenty of vegetarian options to choose from. The ambiance was fantastic—warm and inviting without being overly crowded during our visit. However, I’m taking away one star because our server didn’t inform us when the kitchen closed. We were looking forward to dessert, only to find out it was no longer available when we tried to order. A small detail, but it would’ve made the experience that much better.

Nice large outdoor dining area. We came by for a light dinner after going to a show in the area. Lots of great options. We ended up getting deviled eggs, whipped burrata, and elote corn. Everything tasted great and service was good! Will definitely come back to check out the other options we didn't get to try.

The ordering service was OK at first, but then there was no service at all, even no one refilled the water. The food was nice, but the portions were small, suitable as a drink companion rather than a main course.

We stopped by during their Dine Downtown promo.. I tried the Elote (fried street corn), Caesar salad, and lemon risotto all flavorful and satisfying. My friend went with a classic burger. For cocktails we had the Detox which was refreshing. Overall, the food was good and the vibe was relaxed.

Stopped by for drinks on a Friday evening. 2 of us had: saturn $16 fieldwork hazy train $10 6% mandate We sat a the bar. Relatively empty. Didn't have any food. Drinks were fine. Nice ambiance. Park in one of the garages that allow for free 2 hours, or just find street parking.

District is a pretty solid spot to grab a bite (especially later at night). The deviled eggs were absolutely incredible right off the bat, and the rest of the food was also quite good. The restaurant itself was nice and spacious, with plenty of seating. It wasn’t overly loud either. My one complaint was the service… it wasn’t like anyone was rude to us or anything. The issue was more that everything took ages. Even stuff as simple as getting refills on water. That said, the staff was all friendly and the food was good. I’d absolutely come back.

Really good beer and friendly staff. Dog friendly. Beer was also very good. The Churro Beer was great as was the popcorn. The building isn’t conducive for an outdoor area but that was really the only thing lacking. It also has two really nice sized TVs if you are looking for a game to watch.

First time checking out this brewery. The churro beer was really unique and worth trying. I expected the passionfruit hard seltzer to be more sour than sweet but it was really sweet. Luckily the beertender was super nice and offered to swap or turn it into a shandy. Shandy was a big improvement. My partner liked the two seams IPA. Great food from Jake's too.

Visited this past Thursday for the third time. As usual the brewery is like a sauna inside sweltering hot inside and all the beer is warm. Nothing worse than warm beer especially drinking IPAs and stouts. Food vendors are the best part! Hopefully you can fix your refrigeration system and install some air conditioning so people will stay. I've noticed most people come and buy beer in cans cuz it's probably colder lol

Located in a seemingly deserted industry park. So if you are confused as I was when getting there, you are at the right place! Great beers! No food though.

Came by back in Jan'23, on a Sunday afternoon around 3PM to catch up with a friend. Had one of their Hazy's. Literally no one else was there, so it was nice to just have a quiet setting to catch up. They have quite a bit of seating inside. There was some food outside you can order from another vendor. Staff was friendly. Small parking lot available outside.

OMGOODNESS!! This great place is closing after today. We really enjoyed having so many great choices of fresh brew.

Solid beer lineup. I tried the 4 beer samplers for the first round before settling for the Fireworks DIPA. Cool servers too. A good place to hang out for a couple of hours...

The patio is nice. The beer is better than in other breweries and the food is ok. They have good tacos if you compare them to other places, but super expensive for street food. I had a good time but I don't know if I want to go often. I think I can get better beer and food for a better price elsewhere.

Camino brewing was our Sunday selection for a drink in the afternoon and were not disappointed, nice place that seems to be under remodeling, but still, patio was very nice with cool music and shade for the afternoon sun. Beers were great, had a couple Hazy IPAs, did not try the food from the food truck which is mexican but looked tasty, probably next visit. Worth a visit if you are around the area

I've been here several times...and I totally forgot!! Camino Brewing was even a stop on a Beer tour for one of my friend's birthday!! Total Brainfart! I completely forgot about this place! The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable, fast and efficient. Parking can be challenging, I'm not sure if there is a lot on the back... In the front it's definitely street parking...and good luck with that! The inside is simple, elegant and spacious, not impressively large by any means. However, I don't remember the massive outdoor Beer Garden and I also didn't know one could get Tacos here: Camino Brewing Co. is also the home of Cardenas tacos. A great compliment to some great beer. Check out his IG page for more details: IG: cajetasjbayarea Some brilliant beer I chugged: (that I can remember) ~ BEER SLUSHEES! AGUA FRESCA - CUCUMBER MINT LIME - GOSE - 4/5 ~ JAMES STAR - DOUBLE RYE IPA - 4/5 ~ FRUIT CUP - DOUBLE HAZY IPA - 4/5 Don't forget to try the Beer Suushee! I didn't know of such a thing...very interesting! One can also take a Brewery Tour here as well, the staff is very chill and are happy to oblige. This is also one of the few breweries I've been to that had Female Master Breweres...at least that I know off. Great job ladies! Looking forward to returning and trying the Rioja! No release date as yet... (time I write this review)

Wonderful courtyard beer garden, friendly staff with attentive service. We tried the 7 beers on tap flight.vi particularly love the pilsner and the Northeast by West IPA. Millie's tacos and Lumpias really hit the spot and went down perfectly with the brews. Two thumbs up.

The host last night was extremely polite and attentive. Honestly he was really the only 'nice' person I interacted with all evening. The picture of the beer is supposed to be their Pilsner. Notice it is cloudy, when I asked about it the person dropping off the drink said yes, that's the Pilsner it just pours like that. The brewer should be ashamed if that is standard. The food from the pop up was nice yet over priced, $10 for two tacos. Seating was also odd as I was alone and sat at the end of a wagon outdoors with no way to interact with anyone. Probably will not go back. Thanks for the effort.

This place has great beer, a stellar outdoor space, and awesome on-site tacos. My husband and I needed a venue to hold our laid-back wedding "reception" and happened upon Camino, and now we just keep going back (for more beer :). And let me say, if you have a chance to hold an event here, they are amazing. They were incredibly accommodating to us as we planned, and continued to be super attentive during the event. Big shout out to everyone on their team for making the day one to remember. We had a lot of people leave our party saying "I wish I'd done something like this" and we couldn't have done it without Camino!

Atmosphere is great, beers are tasty, beer tenders are extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, and more good beers. I had the Fruit Cup IPA and Sunny Upon 1st St. both beers aren’t as strong and not overpowering. Parking isn’t great, but you can park under the bridge (parking lot).

I wouldn’t call this hidden or a speakeasy because it’s easily accessible from the street. Although there’s no name on the outside, just a logo of a hat and tie. For sure speakeasy vibe. The servers are all dressed in true Haberdasher theme with a measuring tape around their neck. Inside has the dim underground lighting. We stopped for one drink and I couldn’t make up my mind. So many great choices. We got Pagoda and Putter Up. The Pagoda has the green basil drops that almost look like mold!..haha very tasty. The Putter Up was with scotch. Too strong for me. They have tables, booths and high top tables. There’s a glass case in the back full of high end premium spirits. You can join $25 monthly membership to get 5 rare tastings a month.

Big thumbs up on the friendly service, cozy environment, and top-notch cocktails! Went here with a friend last night (Friday) around 8pm. Already getting crowded but we still found a cozy place to sit and could hear each other pretty well. Can't say enough about the friendly, welcoming, and talented staff and wish I had gotten their names so I could better recognize them here. The doorman was genuinely warm and instantly made us feel welcome (though I was amused he even requested to check the ID of 50something gray-haired me :D). The bartender closest to the entrance immediately and warmly welcomed us as well. Two different bartenders served us and both were friendly, engaging, and clearly talented at their craft. My friend and I tried four very different cocktails and all were great! I do wish they served food other than just nuts here; while in fairness there's a food hall just around the corner with a decent variety of options, it would have been nice to sip the cocktails alongside food. Re pricing: most of the cocktails are $17 + tax + tip, though their cocktails on draft (!) range from $12-16. EDITED TO ADD: Disappointed to discover that Haberdasher calculates the tip as a percentage of the purchase PLUS taxes. I get why places do this (obviously), but it just doesn't seem very fair.

Their bartenders make great drinks! I wish that their interior was more decorated and felt more like a British speakeasy pub.

This is our favorite spot! We've been here plenty of times and I wonder how I haven't written a review. This place is fantastic; from its vibe to their cocktails to their incredible service. We come here for date nights and special occasions and it hasn't let us down. My favorites include the Mango Tango and Tally Me Banana but recently learned that although I'm not a huge fan of coffee flavors, the Back in Black is also amazing. If you love craft cocktails, you can't go wrong here. The downstairs going into dark lighting and red walls really add a nice touch to a date night as well.

Our drinks were amazing and we loved our bartender. She would give you samples to make sure you liked the drink she created before you committed. She would also get to know your taste and recommend drinks. Best drinks we had downtown all night.

Favorites: Born Again Cajun & Kodak moment. Hidden gem in downtown San jose. It is an absolutely amazing cocktail bar. It is an underground place and has exotic drinks. A couple of tips: they don't have food, just some nuts as snacks, and they check every single person ID.

They don’t serve food here. Just some chips. Love their cocktails. The mixologists are well trained and very knowledgeable. If you tell what kind of drink you like, they will custom make it for you. Even the bouncers are friendly, respectful and recommend great drinks!! Must visit, recommend 💯

Came here for a pinball tournament. It's a very nice bar and has several separate areas where there also video games along the walls. The pinball machines are in the back area where the food pickup area is. I ordered a Maitai from the front bar and it was really nice. The pins are very nice too, and they are well maintained. Priced very well @.75/gm 3 for 2.00. I didn't order food, so I cannot comment, but it looked good.

The whole atmosphere of here is great, we went early on a Thursday to check it out. It wasn’t too busy when we got there but it quickly started filling up. The bartenders were great everyone was working fast but still very friendly. Drinks were good, I liked the uncommon blends they use to make unique cocktails.

The place, music, and service was amazing 🤩. But the drinks were horrible. Mine tasted like vomit and my friend's was too sour to drink. I felt bad because our bartender was great.

Excelente place for play and have a good time with friends who join the arcade games Also good drinks Each game costs around $0.50

Visit: September 2024 Really cool bar, really like the old school gaming aesthetics. Couple of fun games around to play. Was a fun vibe, my friends and I took some people to town on a driving game in a 3v3 which made our night! Only got a drink there, it was a spur, but it was alright! Bar prices are high but thats normal. But the vibe everywhere was great and the place was packed!

I've been here twice now. The second time was on a Thursday where they have free games. You should come within happy hours on Thursdays and you'll get a really good deal. The drinks are decent and the food is pretty good, surprisingly. I liked their chicken wings. My husband liked the pepperoni flatbread. Service is great too! Definitely recommend as a place to hang out and have a drink.

Great variety of drinks lots of interesting experiments. Really tasty food, odd sounding pizza combinations that really worked. And staff walking around making sure everything was good busing tables cleaning things up. Plus a ton of great arcade games and pinball machines they actively working to make sure everything was up and running they fixed the KI machine while we were there.

My old stomping grounds. Haven’t been back in a while since I moved away from Downtown San Jose. They still have one of the most impressive whisky collections I’ve ever seen. The old fashioneds are the best here and I’m not sure why no where else has been able to replicate it. I’m glad they’re still doing well but I’ll have to try to come back more often.

I went to 55 South in San Jose and had an amazing experience. The atmosphere was chic and cozy, perfect for a night out. I ordered their signature cocktail and a steak, and both were excellent. The steak was cooked perfectly, tender, and flavorful, and the cocktail was refreshing with the right balance of flavors. The service was outstanding; the staff was attentive and made sure everything was to my liking. I also enjoyed the music playing in the background, which added to the vibe of the restaurant. I’ll definitely be coming back for another great meal.

Came here as vendor for an event and this is by far one of the best bars I've been to. The decor, the staff, the atmosphere... Also heard the drinks were top notch as well!

Happy hour from 4-7pm. Came on Tuesday around 6PM. A lot of space at the bar. At least 4 tables available. Great food, good selection for happy hour drink. A little loud but not enough to shout.

Amazing place! Great service and really good drinks.

This place is delicious! I mean, the food is delicious! Service was great. It has a classy feel to it. They don't allow minors in after 8 p.m. because that's when it's grown up time. They have hand sanitizer on every table. Bathroom was clean. Security checks ID at the door. And I'm enjoying my adult eggnog Ray faboulsy made!!

I’m so impressed! I came in on a Tuesday night looking for dinner and a good drink. There were two bartenders, and both were amazing. I started with a margarita made with Forteleza Añejo. The bartender used great, fresh ingredients – so good. The other bartender made a Naked and Famous. I mentioned that I don’t like a super smoky mezcal, and the drinj he made me was perfectly balanced. I ordered the beef stew – so good! I can’t wait to go back!
