The 39 best bars and drinks in Santa Clara

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.

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

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!

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.

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 🤦🏾‍♂️

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 💯

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.

I was here for a private event and had a nice experience. LOCATION This bar is conveniently located near San Pedro's square (SPS). You can park in the SPS parking lot which provides 90 minutes of parking for free and only $1 for each additional 15 minutes. It's a short 5 minutes walk from the parking lot to the bar. AMBIANCE I like the spaciousness and warm decorated vibes that this place gives. Noise level is reasonable. Their restrooms are also clean and tidy. SERVICES Our server was attentive and made me one of the best Amaretto Sour drinks. Overall, I enjoy this place. Though I haven't tried any of their food item yet, I heard good things about them from my friends who've been here before. I'll definitely consider Five Points next time.

I don’t really do bad reviews but I was really upset about this business. We were having a 30 year birthday next door and want to continue our celebration at five points. We were a group of 8 Asian American girls but only had a bottle of champagne between the 8 of us. The bouncer declined our entrance and continued to let other people that were not Asian American that looks very intoxicated through the door. We asked why and the bouncer just simply said “no”. No explanation or anything.

Cool bar with lots of seating. It has an old rustic vibe and on the night we visited there was live music which everyone was enjoying. Drink menu is standard with an in house cocktail menu that's special to the location. Good selection of wine as well. They could do with maybe one more server. Seemed a lot of one person to do but it was a Tuesday so perhaps a usually slow evening that was surprisingly busy.

I'm very shocked this was the only place in Dowtown SJ that did not accept me due to my outfit, basic cut sleeves shirt, jeans and shoes. Due to my outfit, I will need to cover my arms, so my friend lend his jacket and security/bouncer still did not want to let me in and told me to completely change. All I can say when someone looks ugly as a bouncer/security, they get will be hating on you since your very good looking. Customer service lost, all good. Just looking out for y'all.

We’ve visited Five Points twice now. Both times, I’ve enjoyed my cocktails, but the first time my husband wasn’t impressed with their old fashioned. This latest visit, however, was a turning point for him - he said the old fashioned was a little bit spicy in a way, which is unique and he really liked it. I think we’ll be adding this bar to our regular rotation

Good drinks and atmosphere - walking distance to the Sharks game and a nice stop prior to the game. We ended up getting a great booth on the back of the restaurant and it was a delightful experience. The service was also excellent. Revised / 5 stars when we arrived for service, atmosphere and the drinks but when the food came it was a solid 2 stars. Being gluten free, I had limited options and ordered the nacho fries. They came cold and not appetizing at all. Rounding up to 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ based on the other attributes but not a dinner destination for GF or even others.

I was looking for a restaurant with live music on a Monday night, I found five points, and I was thrilled. They had a live jazz/blues band that seemed to bring in different instrumentalist. It was so much fun to watch. I had the most delicious nacho fries. The drinks were really good, but had a lot of ice and they were playing the raider game on TV. My server was super nice and attentive. What an awesome night!

We came to Dr. Funk for the first time today. Sadly, it's unlikely we will return. There are 4 drinkers at the table and the only person happy with their drink is the person who drank a beer. ☹️ The drinks we ordered had no hint of fresh fruit juice, cheap alcohol, and had a medicinal taste. No tropical aspect at all. The cups were packed with ice and were small and plastic. We suspect the cups were due to the event but the charge should be 50% less. We also think maybe the ratios were off due to the cups and ice. Not really sure but at $17 a drink, you expect it to taste good. Especially from a tiki bar. We just walked away from $34 worth of no bueno and one of the drinks was consumed just because of the principle that he can't walk away. On a positive note, the staff is very nice and cute. The food we had was very good. The mushroom curry is very flavorful. I would've liked more substance, it's mostly sauce but the flavor is really good. The spam fried rice was also very good. The spam was crispy and the flavor profile of the rice was good. We are used to Forbidden Island in Alameda for the drink quality, so it's probably hard to go to any place with less quality but it's sad that we were so disappointed in the drinks. The place is very very cute inside and vibrant but it just wasn't enough to bring us back. :(

Dr. Funk is hands-down one of the best late-night spots in San Jose, especially if you’re hanging out with friends in San Pedro Square. The vibe here is energetic yet laid-back, making it the perfect place to unwind after a long day or kick off a fun night out. The first thing that impressed me was how quick and easy the ordering process was. The staff is friendly, efficient, and always ready to recommend drinks if you’re not sure what to try. Speaking of drinks—this is where Dr. Funk really shines! Their cocktail menu is creative and full of unique flavors, with every drink beautifully presented. Whether you’re into tropical, fruity blends or bold, strong mixes, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. The outdoor seating area is a huge plus, especially on warm evenings. It’s a great spot for conversations, laughs, and people-watching in the heart of San Pedro Square. The casual atmosphere makes it perfect for both small groups and bigger hangouts.

One of the best places for happy hour. We had our drinks and food brought to us very quickly. The staff was welcoming and fun. The ambiance and the decor was phenomenal and detailed. Overall a great tiki spot!

The drinks are the BEST!! I love the Phoenix Rising... Get it!! It's a unique beverage and ever so pretty!! They ALWAYS decorate the interior and exterior so elaborately. I just love this place!!!

Went with some friends and we each ordered a cocktail. Out of the 4 of us, not one of us truly enjoyed our cocktail. We all tried each other's to much of our disappointment. Bar has a nice vibe and the staff was friendly enough, the drinks were just plainly not enjoyable

Great beautiful space, especially outdoors. I would love to see more food options, but overall a pleasant experience for me.

Atmosphere was ok. They had decorated for Christmas which was fine but not that great or exciting. Cardboard cutouts aside, it was a half-hearted attempt at best. We were the first ones in when they opened and the table was already sticky from the previous night. Really? Yuck! Made me wonder if anyone actually cleaned this place. The drinks were overpowered and while ok, not the balanced drink you’d expect from a tiki bar. Decided not to try the food after the sticky table mess. So many other choices nearby on San Pedro area that I’d skip this and try out the others next time. Oh, and dog friendly means outdoor only as our friends found out.

You don't order a cosmopolitan cocktail at this joint. However, this place delivers exactly what it's exterior promises. A down and dirty dive experience, with plenty of grittiness to go for days. Blue collar folks here play pool, buy lotto tickets, smoke cigarettes and will keep it real for you.

I'm so disappointed! A patron was bit by the Bartenders' dog and severely hurt! I witnessed the manager tell him that he couldn't return to the bar ever again! How is this decision fair? The manager Sharlene had this conversation with the patron in front of other patrons, so unprofessional! I couldn't believe what I was witnessing! The owners should be ashamed of themselves! My friends and I will not be returning to this bar!

Small bar very friendly pool tables 2 for tournaments!

Think they have enough TVs to watch Dave is the morning Bartender Awesome guy He make Biscuits and Gravy on Sundays

Good strong drinks. Chill atmosphere, double shot was more like a triple! There's pool and darts, though they're the plastic kind....not my fave but safer than metal lol.

Great vibes amd energy from the bartender. She was always on top of who needed the next drink and would hear what you asked for even if you thought you were ignored. It was a pretty poppin night. The music was good, and pool tables stayed active til closing.

Just love the bartender tonight Gina, great girl very friendly and on top of her game unlike the manager who's rude and even comes in on her nights off with her boyfriend drunk acting like she working or owns the bar. Gina is a breath of fresh air as sweet S can be and doesn't care of you are a female or Male she treats people with kindness and respect.

Alena is the BEST bartender ever. Only Fridays and Saturdays. Vibes are GREAT on weekends. But otherwise, its a bit slow. You get a real view of the area. Good hardworking people here. Awesome. I love this place.

Great bar to relax and have a drink. Karaoke 7 days a week. Tiana is the best.

It’s a really cool local dive bar, lots of pool tables and darts. Only thing I don’t like is the manager charline, she’s really mean. I love going on the nights where Elena bartends, best bartender ever, this girl deserves a raise 💯 she carries the bar. We’re regulars so we know what’s up

It was slow. about a handful of people I want around 2pm if your not a regular they really don't say much to you. They didn't know how to make my drink. Sometimes you might see a roach crawling around.

I'm so disappointed! A patron was bit by the Bartenders' dog and severely hurt! I witnessed the manager tell him that he couldn't return to the bar ever again! How is this decision fair? The manager Sharlene had this conversation with the patron in front of other patrons, so unprofessional! I couldn't believe what I was witnessing! The owners should be ashamed of themselves! My friends and I will not be returning to this bar!

Great service and honest Nice Bartenders Hard working Peoples•CashOnly ATM Works for Fee.

It gets pretty busy on the weekends so getting a drink is a little harder! But for the most part it’s a great place with karaoke and a couple pool tables. I had an issue the first time I went there with the bar manager. I think she was a short blonde lady. I was using the women’s restroom and i just happened to get a visit from aunt Flow. And she started yelling and banging on the bathroom door to get out! I wasn’t even in there for 5 minutes and she assumed I was up to no good. But everyone else was amazing.

Cool venue with a great location right downtown. Not too crowded at all, everyone inside can comfortably dance and see the performer. Only complaint was due to the low max occupancy, we weren't admitted until well after midnight. Fortunately the main act went on after 1:00 so we didn't miss it, but I would think ticket holders who paid in advance should be included in the occupancy count so they're able to get inside to see the show. But otherwise we had fun and would definitely come back for another show in the future.

Was there for the Selenabration Event. Be cautious! The front area , the entry dance floor was nice however the bartenders where way too slow. Painfully obvious they had no proper training. I asked for a Cosmopolitan which had way too much grenadine instead of cranberry juice. The place was dirty and the bathrooms dirty and lacked privacy. In the extended area, the main dance floor the bartenders where good however the dance floor was extremely wet and slippery. I had been there a couple of years back when they had a heavy metal band and my experience was a pleasant one. Its a good venue overall. I just hope that management steps it up when having the events... I would definitely think twice before going there again.

Looted me. They behave like they are the best in town, although the place is pretty mediocre. I once booked for an event and they denied the entry saying that the place is full either they overbooked or at last minute they preferred people who didn't even have tickets over us. Anyways still trying to call them to get my money back. Unresponsive as always.

Worst service ever!! We registered for an event, But these greedy people over booked the event, Hence we never got in. The doorman never let us in and kept forcing us to go home and ask for refund. Now they don't open , most of the days, not even picking up our calls. Once we called and someone replied call in the morning and talk to Peter. After then my call directly goes to voicemail. Looks like they blocked me.

Went there on a special occasion. Bar tenders were awesome. Had a good conversation with people. You’ll find good music over there. A bit away from the main downtown streets. Usually not crowded. Service was fast. The place was clean.

Overall, it was a bad experience. Not worth the $5 entrance fee. People were throwing up, passed out, The floor was all sticky from people spilling their drinks. Did not enjoy my Saturday night here. If you could go somewhere else.

To be fair, I am not a night club person. I went to support a perfomer. It was clean and did not have that stale alcohol smell. Its set up is a little confusing as there are two ways to go in so you'd better know which part you want to be in. There was a $20 cover.

Arrived around 5 PM on Thursday. Was the second customer sitting at the bar. Took 10 minutes for one of the two bartenders to acknowledge me. In the meanwhile, they: tried and failed to hang some sort of vintage, framed liquor advertisement; stood with their backs to the bar and texted on their phones; stared blankly into space. The cocktail I eventually was able to order was tasty, but there was no way I was going to stick around with that sort of service.

Fantastic Evening at The Fountainhead I recently visited The Fountainhead, and it was an outstanding experience. The ambiance is a perfect mix of modern and cozy, with great lighting and music. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The drink menu is impressive, with a wide selection of cocktails and wines. Both drinks were very delightful! Overall, The Fountainhead is a fantastic spot for a night out. Excellent service, great drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere make it a must-visit. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic time for a friend's birthday! The drinks at the bar were awesome - we all loved our cocktails, and the atmosphere was great. There was even live music that night! We'll definitely go back; it's a great spot to meet up with friends, and there are lots of food options in the same locale.

We went to Fountainhead on Saturday night and had a great time! Live music, mixed drinks (great tamarind margarita - that might have been a special for that night but lots of other interesting options) and interesting wine options. We grabbed food from a couple of the other outlets (vietnoms and japacurry) which was tasty. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Great time!

Depending on where you get, the food selections are excellent. Beer selection is OK but pricing is a bit steep. The Pilsner glasses that they use run a bit on the small side.

Nice drinks, cool themed specials for a weekend comvention!

Great little hidden bar at the back of SoFA Market surrounded by excellent eateries to avoid too much consumption of alcohol on an empty stomach! The bartenders are experienced to serve you house drinks and cocktails in a loud, lively atmosphere with plenty of seating in a communal setting. The bar and eateries complement each other, so if you are meeting with friends for a quick drink and like a great variety of food choices, SoFA is the place to be.

Update: removing one star because ridiculous prices situation. I’ve been coming here occasionally for the last 2 years, and they kept slowly increasing prices, which is understandable, everything gets more expensive. But now they also include some mandatory service fee like 3-4%. And if you sign via handheld payment terminal you cannot see this charge in advance. I was able to find it out only when there was something up with their terminal and they brought regular paper check to me. So this place is now pricey, their default tips amount are huge and also they sneak in hidden fees (I’m pretty sure they have it somewhere in small font in their menu, but I didn’t notice). Food is still good though. Nice place with good selection of pasta and pizzas. In house wine is good. Outdoor terrace is really great

Food, service, atmosphere, seating were all great. Place has high ceilings so it was nice sitting in an airy room. They had a fire place running. Tables were spaced nicely apart so you were not tripping on anyone. Service was fast and good, we were a large party and all out food came out fast, hot and together. Food tasted great from appetiter to entree and pizza. They have a bar and bar seating inside. Place to sit outside with heaters but traffic in the area can make to question your choice of sitting there.

Came here for business lunch. Very attentive waiters and great ambience with skylight to make you felt outside. They have open kitchen concept and food is great. Ordered my favourite mussel as my main course.. it was good enough and I enjoyed it. They served many other foods like pasta and pizza too .. .. enjoyed it!

Service: 5/5 Food: 3/5 It's not very good Italian food in my opinion. Calamari is not very crispy and the seafood wasn't seasoned well. Tiramisu has too little mascapone cheese and has no rum taste. It's a little dry too. Service is very friendly

Absolutely phenomenal food! We really enjoyed the overall experience. The service was truly wonderful, such friendly people. We had the soup of the day- tomato basil soup - and warm bread, it was fresh and delicious. Then I had the spinach ravioli (I added mushrooms), it was delightful! We will come again, I am sure of it :)

When I went to lunch, there were so many customers that there was a full seat. I was sitting in a place with only one seat left in the open air, and I felt a little uncomfortable because I had a baby and had a baby stroller. It was okay, though. I ordered a chicken pizza, and I ordered a lunch special, Linguine Prawn pasta, but the pasta was a bit bad. A friend of mine is due to give birth soon, so I wanted to have a nice lunch at a pretty place, but I was a little offended by our table server, who wanted to go quickly even though there was no break time. We're talking while eating slowly, and he's here with a box of pizzas. It wasn't even two o'clock. I want to go there again next time, but I hope the server is someone else. 점심시간에 갔더니 자리가 꽉 찰만큼 손님이 가득했어요. 야외에 딱 한 자리 남은 곳으로 앉았는데 바로 옆에 분수가 있어서 조금은 불편했어요, 왜냐하면 제가 아기가 있어서 유모차를 갖고있었거든요. 그래도 괜찮았어요. 치킨 피자를 하나 주문하고, 런치스페셜메뉴인 링귀니 prawn 파스타를 주문했는데 파스타가 좀 별로였어요. 함께 한 친구가 곧 출산예정이라 예쁜 곳에서 맛있게 점심을 먹고싶었는데, 브레이크타임이 없음에도 불구하고 얼른 가길 바라는 우리 테이블 서버로 인해 기분이 약간 상했어요. 천천히 먹으면서 얘기 중인데, 그 사람이 피자를 담아갈 투고박스를 갖고 곁으로 왔거든요. 시간은 2시도 안 됐었구요. 다음에 또 가고싶은 곳이긴 하지만, 서버가 다른 사람이길 바라봅니다.

Weekend brunch is very- very good! Green canopy of young trees makes it so cozy even at noon on a sunny day. Way to enjoy California weather and a good food in the not crowded relaxed setting.

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.

This particular location is my go to spot when it comes to a quick fast casual bite to eat or a quick business luncheon or dinner. For whatever reason the service the staff provides here is very impressive... The staff members are thorough, courteous, patient and very attentive without being over bearing. Never had an issue with the service here. The food is also very good. I'm a regular here... I'm pretty sure I've gone through half the menu here... These are just some things I remember... #FastCasualEats: SHAREABLE APPETIZERS: ~ Deep Dish Nachos - 4/5 ~ Boneless Wings: - Tatonka Stout Buffalo sauce - 4/5 - Lemon Pepper Sesame Dry Rub - 4/5 PIZZAS: ~ Buffalo Chicken Pizza - 4/5 ~ Barbeque Chicken Pizza - 4/5 ~ Gourmet Five Meat Pizza - 4/5 BURGERS: ~ Bacon-Guacamole Deluxe Burger - 4/5 SANDWICHES & TACOS: ~ Brewhouse Philly - 4/5 DESSERT: ~ Cookies 'n' Cream Pizookie - 4/5 ~ SNEAKERS Pizookie - 5/5 Keep it up Coleman BJ's... see you soon!

We had the best experience at this BJ’s restaurant. Our group of 5 was a bit difficult as we had 6 dogs. I didn’t expect to get the best service from Alyssa who took care of my group very well. Some members of our group had many requests and she took care of all of us and our dogs with such a positive and fun attitude. She went above and beyond to make our group feel special and well taken care of. I haven’t experience such outstanding, impeccable, and exceptional service in years. Most servers just do the bare minimum to get the job done but Alyssa is definitely not one of them. She is a gem just like the diamonds on her teeth. The manager Beau was so friendly and welcoming he set up our tables and umbrellas in the patio to make sure that we were protected from the sun. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable right from the beginning of our dining experience. We had such an amazing experience at this BJ’s we will not go to any other BJ’s anymore. We will make sure that we come back for every occasion as Alyssa and Beau for beautiful really made our experience so memorable. We ordered so much food and all of it was also very delicious.

My best friend and I came to this location to have a quick meal and a sweet treat with their Tuesday $5 pizookies. There was a bit of a wait to be sat but our host was super kind and helpful, there was a miscommunication on which server would get us but the second Kat was assigned to our section she mediated it and was SO kind. She brought our food quick, and even washed the silverware herself on our behalf when they were taking a bit of time 🥺. She was such an angel and it was honestly the best experience I’ve had at any location with this company. I adore her and would pay extra to get her again!! If you’re her manager and you’re seeing this she needs a raise, thank youuuu🥳🥳.

The food here is always delicious and fresh, which is why we keep coming back. The atmosphere is welcoming, but what really makes our visits special is the service. Our server, Kat, is AMAZING. Every time we come, we always request her because she is so kind, attentive, and makes sure everything is just right. She goes above and beyond, and that's why we enjoy coming here so much.

Food was great and came out quick! Our server Kat was extremely attentive and friendly. Excellent service from her all around !!

Cat was absolutely amazing and took great care of my sister and I. She was patient, gave us wonderful service and made us feel at home.

Jasmine is an awesome server. She was attentive, smiled during service and friendly. The food was delivered hot and she made sure we were satisfied throughout our dining experience.

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.

An omelette is really really expensive. Definitely go for the buffet instead, it is a much better value. The buffet has yogurt, fruits, pancakes, waffles, scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, cereal, muffins, juices, and much more. The chicken alfredo was decent. The drinks were watered down. The staff was nice and friendly, especially Leo.

For a hotel restaurant this one os very good. The service was good food flavorful. Stopped there during Comic Con. Only problem was they are a bit lax as a person at the table next to us had his dog in his lap, eating from the table. Now I understand pets being family and all but at a restaurant?? That is ridiculous. They should have had a backbone told the person to put the dog back into his carrier.

Absolutely horrible service, the bartender was the only one taking orders while 4 other people where just standing around. I asked if I can please have someone take my order since I have be waiting over 15 mins already. No one could help and didn't handle it in a professional manner. I travel for work and visit many hotels. I never have to actually write down my experience at a hotel because of their service. I have wasted over 40 mins for a take out burger. And most of that time was me waiting for someone to take my order.

Guacamole chips and salsa delicious, carne asada tacos (3)meat was very tasty had a kick to them. Mezcal margarita was just the right cocktail with dinner. Lounge was relaxing beautiful decor.

Doesn't know how to cook meat without char. Asked for steak med-rare, came out med-well and chard. Order a burger a few nights later, came out over well done and almost crunchy. Luckily the pork belly I ordered on it helped the taste.

It was terrible. The food was bad. We waited 10 minutes andbthens rated ourselves (which we were told was the wrong thing to do). The coffee was terrible. I felt bad for the staff so left a big tip but breakfast for 2 adults and 2 kids was almost $100.

Staff is great! Try the jalapeno calamari! It's one of the best around. Nice patio but be forewarned it's directly under the landing flight path to San Jose airport.

Wait what? I’ve been here a bunch of times and haven’t reviewed them? Shame on me! The best thing about The Brit is it’s a sports bar. Done! Sharks, Warriors, 49ers…! Inside gets packed and is probably the most love part, but the outdoor under cover seating in the back also rocks. Again, big tvs and decent sound. Built in heaters up above are strong enough to keep you warm. Nachos, quesadillas, and burgers are all good. Fries and tots too. I like Guinness and they have it so I’m happy. But I think they have the full bar as well. Parking is close by. Service is a little shady; not sure if it’s because they don’t have enough staff or what but it works; just flag ‘em down. Line coming for games after work. It can be monstrously busy and tough to find parking when there’s a Sharks game at the Tank.

As will be clear from all of my previous reviews, I usually only bother to write them, if I have had a positive experience. However on this occasion, I feel the need to highlight how poor the customer service we received was. We have recently moved to the area and decided to visit this pub because they had an offer on, which was $5 fish tacos, stating that in this location, the Brit, they were sold in sets of 3. When we went to pay, we queried the deal as the total price was not what we had expected. Our understanding was that, as per picture, it does not state anywhere that there is a minimum purchase of 3, but that in these 2 locations, the tacos are served in sets of 3. This is when we were introduced to the ‘manager’ Ken, who was quite frankly, rude, confrontational and the worst person we have met who works in hospitality for a long time. We queried the bill and were met with an aggressive and threatening response, for simply asking a question. Ken then decided to make the situation quite hostile (unnecessarily, we were not saying we wouldn’t pay, we were simply explaining the offer was not clear) telling us we had to settle the bill and that he did not care about the offer. He kept offering the owners card and told us to bring it up with him as it wasn’t his problem but that we would not be leaving without paying out our bill (which once again, we had never suggested, we were just starting that the offer was not clear!) Would never go back and would not recommend, not worth the agg!!!

Became my ‘local’ whilst on biz in SJC. Really friendly bar staff and serving staff who chat if it’s not busy. Plenty of TVs to view sports including EPL. Recommend the Sausages and Mash with a good onion gravy.

First time. Came to watch UFC. I had a fantastic time. The food, service and drink specials are very fair and worth it. Maria was our Server, while she trained a new Server. Give Maria a raise!!

The Bartender/Manager Levi is the best. I've been to most of all the bars in downtown San Jose and the Brit is by far the best here. Levi has a great handle on reading the room,table control, and excellent customer service. He knew when to ask if we needed anything or if there was anything he could help with. It was a busy Friday night with a full bar and unruly customers but him and his staff were in sync.

Walked in and sat at the bar for about five minutes while the male bartender with the long hair talked to his buddy . He finally walked over to me, but just to grab a bottle of water out of the cooler that was right in front of me for him self and then walked to the back without taking my order. I ended up leaving no drink in hand. It was fairly frustrating because I came across town to go to this bar because I heard it was really cool.

Great place downtown to watch pro games like San Francisco Giants San Francisco 49ers and Golden State Warrior's. Sharks not so much never won anything! Close to other places to see live music

Nice park with quite a few different play areas and plenty of benches and seating for adults. The only downside is the noise of the planes flying directly overhead, great for plane spotters though.

Excellent playground for kids. We love it.

Love the quantity of shade available! We attended a birthday party here and it was perfect. Kids have run of the place with many options for learning while playing.

A super excited and spacious park-playground for kids, of all ages. There are many different activities and equipments that are suitable to certain ages, so everyone is sharing. I saw slides, swings, animal statues, bouncy houses and ziplines for kids. For parents and guardians, we have many benches scattered around the park, picnic areas and a walking garden 🪴 This PlayGarden certainly couldn’t become any family’s favorite, but it has opening and closing hours, so make sure to plan ahead.

The park hours of operation have changed. It is now open until 630 p.m. in the Summer! Also, a lot of new additions are complete. There is now a bathroom and other amenities that have been added to the park including a new campfire type area where people can gather.

This is a great all abilities inclusive playground. The only drawback is its only open Thursday through Sunday 10am-4:30pm. There's plenty of benches and it's an open space so u can see across the playground if you have multiple children. No trees for shade and I don't remember seeing a restroom. The playground features are are amazing and its in construction for expansion! The San Jose Airport is practically next door so you will catch plenty of low flying planes overhead for your plane lovers.

4 Swings, wide concrete slides, rope climbing structure / obstacle course and a spinning rope structure. Some equipment showing signs of wear and tear. Not much shade, can get hot during summer. Its right next to the airport, so kids can constantly see planes land.

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!

Taplands isn't just a bar; it's the heart and soul of Santa Clara. Stepping inside feels like coming home, a testament to the incredible community and the best craft beer in town. Owner Matt has created a genuine tap room that stands head and shoulders above the rest, fostering a neighborhood vibe where you can literally run into anyone—from the mayor to a police officer, to your best friends. ​The food is just as much a part of the experience, thanks to Jose, the best cook around, who makes everything feel like a home-cooked meal. ​But at the core of it all is the incredible staff. Bartenders like Christopher Foley, Chrissy Pooh, and RAV are part of what makes this place so friendly and welcoming. And of course, a special shout-out to Courtney. She is so much more than a bartender; she is the embodiment of what makes this place so special. Courtney is incredibly attentive, genuinely nice, and truly caring. Her warmth is contagious, and it’s obvious how much she loves her friends and family, and she extends that same love to everyone who walks through the door. Taplands is the best in the world, and it's because of the amazing people who work there. And there's this one random guy named Paulo that's always there and every time they do underbergs he says it still tastes like shit. He's so funny 😂

Good size, dog friendly, patio. Shaded and partially heated. Nice and spread out for the pups. Beer selection is great and always changing. They do a very good job of keeping a lot of different styles on tap. Check out their homepage for the current taplist.

This place is such a little gem. Your local neighborhood tap room with a great selection of beers and a nice food menu! Came on a weekend to watch the Warriors game, TVs are on and great crowd. The owners are super awesome and everyone is friendly. Great vibe - if you haven’t visited yet please do, you’ll want to come back 😀 Convenient parking right behind the place and plenty of seating inside and out. If you like spicy - definitely order the Spicy Turkey Panini, it is a 5-star. I’ll be back

This is the place to go to when you’re looking for fine craft beer. Odds are, the 24 beers on tap when you walk in, will not the the same 24 beers when you leave. They constantly rotate beers & refresh their beer menu multiple times during the day.

Very nice atmosphere! Great selection of beers. The meat and cheese platter was excellent but the portion size was too small. Great bar staff. Good street parking and a lot is very close.

This place is great, Matt the owner was very friendly and welcoming, they have a great tap selection and excellent food! Will definitely be coming back!

Very nice bar, great selection of beers on tap and very good pub food and snacks

Tucked away location, pretty empty. The food - flavor is great but not the best bang for your buck at $3/wing with the 5 wing combo that had no sides, veggies or soft drinks. Got the Mango hot and would recommend. Some 7-8 beers on tap though, a plus for any wing restaurant.

Tried their hula burger and spicy southern sandwich. The burgers were pretty good but the fries were horrible!! They were greasy, soggy and tasted bitter probably because of reused oil! Very disappointed about the fries.

I'm rating the chicken wings here which were delicious! Wings are a good size and the Strawberry margarita hit the spot. Lots of TVs to watch sports.

Not really good at all, the wings were horrible and harder than a rock. Over priced wings should taste good. I don't recommend anyone to eat their food. I can't imagine what the other foods on the menu taste like.

Came here with my girlfriends family and it was delicious. The waitress gave us a free plate of tenders and a free drink. After our delicious food, we were able to play on their pinball machine which was in very good condition

Came here and bought my friend and I lunch. We both got the Bronco. Super thin chicken and barely any sauce. Was expecting a lot more for almost $40. First and last time for me. I’m still hungry.

Great staff, open till late. They have a good selection of beers, some vegetarian options and a quite and nice vibe. Always a good option for the later in the night snack and drink.

4 stars - for the service, otherwise vibes & food were a solid 3.5 stars My sister and I came here around 5PM on a Thursday and the place was empty apart from a few regulars camped out. The interior of the place is typical sports bar and sports bar levels of unkempt, nothing out of the ordinary. But they have a pretty nice patio seating arrangement (dog friendly) so we got a table outside. You're meant to order at the bar, but while we were looking at the menu the bartender came up to us and said he'd be happy to take the order at our table since there wasn't any other business. He was prompt and friendly and made an effort to have two youngish women feel comfortable & less out of place, which I appreciate. 4 stars are for you my guy. The menu had typical British fare but also randomly an entire section for street tacos and burritos. We ended up getting the Fish & Chips Combo, Veggie Pizza, and a cup of the Clam Chowder. Fish & Chips Combo - 5 stars. Oof. It came out hot, the fries were crispy and perfect, everything seasoned well... we wished we'd gotten two orders after the first bite. Veggie Pizza - 3.5 stars. Crust was thin and crispy as we like, good sauce to cheese ratio, but for whatever reason the veggies were cut in an absurd manner - mushrooms were diced to smithereens but the onions were MASSIVE. You could expect to just chow down on an onion every other bite. Clam Chowder - 1 star. Flavor was there, a little heavy on the salt, but the texture was so deeply offensive we barely ate any. It was as though the "soup" (it can't be called a soup, it was entirely solid) had no cream and only cornstarch. Super weird. Can still feel it in my mouth. Don't want to think about it. Food was a bit hit or miss, but I'd go back for the excellent Fish & Chips and the promise of live music.

Great being back at Britania Arms and listening to live performances again!! We came to see Josh Diamonds perform! The owner, Tommy, was amazing and super sweet! Loved his opening speech reminding everyone we have to be safe and wear masks when indoors at the bar and walking around. We could take them off at our tables. Great food, too! Loved the Fish and Chips! Tommy and Pedro (bar tender) were also super accommodating. My sister surprised us and brought an ice cream cake because we were also celebrating our mom's 67th birthday! I asked Pedro if they happened to have paper plates, plasticwear, napkins and a knife to cut and serve our huge party of 20+ people. He didn't hesitate to help!! We were very appreciative of their excellent service! Such nice people! Can't wait to return! Thank you, Tommy and Pedro, for making our night such a memorable one. 🥳🥰😷

Best burger in town. Love the fish and chips, one of the coolest and largest beer choices and a real family friendly environment. Great live music and bartenders who care.

Outstanding pub. Employees are "good people" and they serve a great pint. I will come here often.

A great bar to see live music. I live an hour away in Walnut Creek but come regularly to see my favorite Bon Scott era AC/DC tribute band - Long Gon Bon! ALWAYS a great show and great time.

Very friendly and attentive waiter. Pizza was good. Drinks generous.

Nice lunch. All very covid friendly with everyone wearing masks! Bangers and Mash was very tasty!

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).

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.

The music is decent and the drink specials are decent. Cover charge of $10-$25 is a bit too high in my opinion. Their website is too inconsistent with its information and misleading. They never answer their phone. It’s the only LGBT+ bar in San Jose

CHECK THEIR INSTA BEFORE COMING Been here several times and had great experiences, but this Sunday night at 10:15pm they’re suddenly Cash only $25 cover when the last 2 Sundays I came at 11pm, there was NO cover! It’s usually only $15 - $20 cover Fridays & Saturdays. Had to just home cause I didn’t have that much cash on me and didn’t have my card on me. Edit: I went to their insta and apparently there was a drag royalty meet and greet that day at 9pm. Dunno if she was still there when I tried to get in as there was no signage or anything said to indicate it wasn’t just a regular Sunday “Wet n’ Wild” drag show. I get you had to charge cover to book the queen, but could you at least update your website to say CASH ONLY, it’s 2025 y’all please!

I’ve been going here ever since i moved to California 4 years ago, every time i visit San Jose is just a great time coming to splash . The only Reason why i lowered the Ratings is because recently they hired a new guy at the door & he’s been very rude & a little Racist. Ps I’m not very confrontational but this time it was just needed. He didn’t allow my friend in because he didn’t have an “American ID” .

I had good fun here. However, I have an issue with their lost and found department. I left my jacket w/ earbuds inside there by accident on May 10th and they wouldn't let me back in because it was too late. I called the next day and the recorded message said they keep found items for 30 days. I return around 9pm on May 13th and the door staff tell me it's too busy for them to go check. I then return at 4pm on the 24th and was told they only keep found items for 1 week before donating them. So, because of this misinformation on their end, they very much could have donated my jacket...who knows.... If someone from the management could reach out, that would be great.

Last Monday I couldn't hear what security said and then he just yelled at me. Disrespectful. I didn't feel safe after that. And I am the only one who was searched by a metal detector. Other people complained too. Fire him or we will never come back.

As of 04/17/21 This bar is Open...It's just picking up, they have still the distance and mask restrictions. If you go around 7 is better you have more chances to get inside and stay there or else the have tables on the street. Good music. I started feeling kinda going back to normal.

Why bother to have a web presence if it’s useless? There was no response to my query about how to see any upcoming events. Why bother to make any plans to go to a SoSo club if you don’t have any idea what to expect? In the past every time we went the place had the atmosphere of a slaughterhouse barn. If there were any other places to be they would have gone out a long time ago… San Jose is one of the worst cities for the “community” I have ever seen! Three bars/clubs in a city this size is embarrassing!!!! But you don’t want my views on that matter!!!

A great place to relax and have fun with your friends. Cozy, elegant, small plates, and special drinks. Highly recommend it!

Pretty nice place. Lovely vibe and ambience, has a lounge like feel with a nice bar area and some good cocktails which my colleagues really liked. Would definitely recommend a stop in here especially for a cozy drink. They have a pretty good happy hour for drinks. I was not otherwise impressed with the food, which was presented well, however the flatbread was salty and other items not memorable (had the warm nuts, deviled eggs and hummus). I think the highlights were the attentive staff and the alcoholic drinks. I would stop by again for sure!

The atmosphere at The Vesper is so great. It gives a bit of red velvet speakeasy vibe. It’s intimate but also quite stuffy and hot in there. The service is slow but friendly. The food tastes great. Loved the white bean dip and the cocktails are pricey but taste great!

Loved the ambiance. Upper level seating is very cozy. A potential place for girl gang hangouts. Not many vegetarian options for food, but in general the menu is very lean. Drink menu is very creative though. Will definitely go again.

Absolutely amazing service and delicious cocktails. I particularly enjoyed my mocktails that were absolutely divine. Ended up getting two of the same alcohol-less drinks — the Josie. Highly recommend! The service was excellent too.

This place is the best for a Friday night drink after work. The appetizers on happy hour were delicious! And they accommodated for gluten free. The best part were the drinks. I kept getting the city drink- the one topped with wine- and will be back for this again. Vesper is a great spot but expect crowds and loud acoustics. Not the place for an intimate dinner but better for a Friday night out.

Cocktails were decent. We had deviled eggs and prosciutto dates. Both were pretty bad. Eggs lacked flavor and dates just didn't work with the combination of the cheese and sauce. Overall, decent drinks, bad food.

Came here years ago and loved it as a quiet hangout spot with an extensive tap line-up and lots in the fridge. Outisde seating was nice too. To my horror, when I popped in recently there were only 3-4 beers on tap (and not interesting or adventurous choices, think Sierra Nevada), disco lights and loud music. Maybe some people like it better this way, but if you're into beer this is no longer a destination when in San Jose

They're back! The patio has all new furniture and the inside is fully renovated in a very smart style. The beer cooler is gone so the beer selection is more limited than before, but they offer a short list of cocktails and wine. Would like to see some non-alcoholic options, which the menu is lacking.

Cool brewery, good customer service, was a bit slow but didn't have no lines, they allow dogs but dont offer any water bowls or snacks for the dogs kinda lame. They had good craft beers I forgot what I had but it was really tasty and light definitely recommend a check this place out thanks for being my shoulder 😎

Amazing selection of outstanding beers. Despite the price, it was a very pleasant experience trying out various beers with very unique flavors. Aside from a rotating tap, they also have multiple fridges full of other beers. They do not serve food, but are fine with outside food, so feel free to bring some food back and enjoy it with all the fine beers they offer. For 10 a beer, this isn't the kind of place I'd go too often, but is definitely where I would go to spoil myself.

Awesome craft beer bar that is constantly rotating their taps. I have probably tried a new IPA every time I have been here. Also has a large selection of bottles you can enjoy in house or take home and as an added perk they allow you to bring in outside food since they only sell packaged snacks in house. Great patio and friendly bartenders. I highly suggest this place.

Lovely setting. Good selection of to-go cans and bottles. Outside seating is nice. Taplist very solid. Highly recommended.

5 stars for the alcohol on tap. I never seen a tap list with rye wine, barlyewine, and tequila ba strong ale together. You can't even get those in a beer store. So this place pretty much have everything you could wish for. They have some unique beer for to go as well.

Worst living experience ever — DO NOT move in. I live in Building 1 (west-facing side). There is extremely loud equipment outside, and the rooftop AC units create nonstop vibration and deep rumbling. It is so unbearable that I can only sleep 2–3 hours per night, and even high-quality noise-cancelling headphones do nothing. My health is deteriorating — I’ve already started having heart problems because of this constant disturbance. I have sent dozens of emails with recordings and videos within one month. Management initially acknowledged the rooftop AC issue but said it “cannot be fixed.” Since then, they have shown complete indifference — ignoring all my emails. They asked me to submit a transfer request form, but after I did, I never heard back. This is serious negligence. They are fully aware of the problem and its impact on tenants’ health, yet they refuse to take any effective action. On top of the noise: • Ants inside the unit • Terrible hallway smell ⚠️ If you care about your health, sanity, and proper management response — stay far away from this place. Their cold, indifferent attitude has turned my life into a nightmare.

I’m living in building 1 for almost two years. When I moved the management that time was good, I didn’t face any issues at least in my first yr. But after the management changed. I started loosing my packages. Four times my packages got lost, once even from the locker room. Sometimes the carriers leave the package on top of the mail box in the mail and locker area, which apparently is not the right place and to let the delivery driver know about it there is one little sign somewhere which even I don’t know. Though they do have cameras in that area but they are not really willing to help to look at the footage to see why packages are getting lost, my recent package which got lost was literally in front of the camera. I sometime wonder if somebody from leasing staff doing this. No idea, only way to find out is to file the police complaint which I know lot of other people faced the similar issue has done it as well. Also, once my husband’s car was vandalized in the parking somebody scratched the car. Again leasing staff wasn’t helpful at all. And if your package is from Amazon instead of helping you or instead increasing strict policies for locker area they will suggest you to ask for refund Amazon will give you. Are you serious? This is the solution you will get from them. Verdict, please don’t move here, leasing staff will be very sweet when you come to look for a new apartment for once the lease is signed nobody will be bothered. Now again the managers had changed, they are good but the leasing staff under them is not and definitely not trustworthy.

I’ve been living here for almost a year, and during this time, packages have been stolen again and again. It’s not just an occasional issue — it happens constantly. Many residents have experienced the same problem, and despite numerous complaints, the management refuses to do anything meaningful to fix it. Even when you report it or call the police, nothing ever changes. The security here is completely useless. There are no working cameras in key areas, no proper access control, and the staff act like it’s not their problem. Every time I lose a package, the office gives the same empty response: “We’ll look into it,” but they never actually follow up. It feels like they just don’t care about the residents’ safety or experience at all. On top of that, the management is unprofessional and unresponsive. They ignore emails and messages, take days to reply (if they reply at all), and show zero accountability. It’s honestly shocking how badly the place is run. I’ve lost multiple valuable items because of their poor management and lack of responsibility. Living here has been one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had with an apartment. If you value your peace of mind, your belongings, and basic respect from the staff — do not move in here. There are plenty of better apartments nearby that actually care about their residents and provide proper security.

We recently moved into Savoy Apartments and had a truly pleasant experience throughout the process. Special thanks to Tania Garcia for her professionalism and support — from scheduling our tour to helping us on move-in day, everything was seamless. Her communication was always clear, precise, and effortless, which made the whole experience stress-free. We also appreciated the dedicated loading elevator, which made our move-in significantly easier. It's only been a few days, but so far, we're really enjoying the community and the welcoming atmosphere here. Looking forward to our time at Savoy!

Staff are extremely attentive and responsive to all messages. Take advantage of their promo for 4 weeks free if you do an in person walk thru. Nereida and team made sure the unit was clean and working perfectly when we picked up the keys. They are thorough and have good attention to detail. Only problem so far living here is that the elevators are frequently out of service. Sometimes both elevators, and there are only two in the whole building. Can be an issue if people are trying to move in while other residents also need to use the elevator

I got stuck in the garbage room of Building 2 for about 20 minutes because the door knob was broken. I have claustrophobia. The garbage room has no emergency exit, no way to call for help, and no cell phone signal. I finally managed to get out by myself, but it was a dangerous situation. I emailed management about this safety problem right away. All I got was an automated-looking reply from their CEO's office saying "someone will contact you." It's been more than a week, and nobody has called or emailed me. This shows they don't care about residents' safety. I would not recommend living here. Management ignores serious safety issues and doesn't follow through on their promises. If you're thinking about renting here, be aware that your safety concerns might be ignored too.

I moved into Savoy nearly a month ago, and I must say I’ve been both very pleased and relieved. Pleased because the complex is well maintained, my unit has been wonderful, and the staff (both in the office and maintenance) have been friendly, responsive, and helpful. Relieved because I had some hesitation about moving in due to online reviews, but so far, I’ve found that many of the negative comments are either unfounded or relate to things outside the staff’s control. My only suggestion would be regarding the hallway on the first level of the parking garage that leads to the Leasing Office - there tends to be a lot of flies in that area. I hope the property can consider investing in something to help deter them.

Great customer service and we will definitely be returning! The music is nice and slow you can even do your work in there, nice place to chill with your friends! Great job!

If you’re looking for a fantastic spot to unwind, Smoke This Hookah Lounge is a must-visit. Located in Santa Clara, this lounge combines cozy, stylish decor with top-quality hookah and friendly, attentive service. The variety of flavors is impressive, and each hookah is prepared with care for a smooth, enjoyable experience. The staff is knowledgeable and eager to help, ensuring you have a great time. With its inviting atmosphere and a menu of tasty snacks and drinks, Smoke This Hookah Lounge is the perfect place to relax or catch up with friends. Highly recommended!

This is an absolute new place for me. Calm and relaxing with great owners. Friendly staff is always there to greet you. One can find various flavours and the recommendations are really good. The place is accessable through wheel chair and is really clean. You guys should for sure try it out. :) :)

I’ve been coming to Smoke This since 2016. The service has been consistently excellent, the hookahs are great and the prices are extremely reasonable. Atiq really knows what he’s doing and goes above and beyond to provide excellent customer service and a great atmosphere to come and smoke. If you’re hungry, there’s a restaurant next door that you can order from and they’ll deliver the food to you at the lounge. All in all the best hookah lounge in the Bay Area.

Amazing Hookah lounge. The flavors are long-lasting and my favorite being Mystery Mix with Pan. Try it - you won't regret it. Love the environment and the owner is super chill too! Recommend 10/10.

I have been coming to this lounge for years. The bowls are fantastic, they last a long time, refills are reasonably priced, and the coal service is excellent. They also use high quality hookahs and you can bring in your own hose if you have a preferred piece. It is a great place to chill comfortably or gather with a group on a night out. It is also paired with the restaurant next door so you can have food delivered to you while you smoke. Spend some time here, you’ll enjoy it.

I love coming to this hookah lounge. The shisha flavors are spot on. I love the double apple mint flavor. Nice place to relax. Music isn't to loud. I go to this place almost everyday now. Great customer service.

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.

This place has a cool little vibe. They have an outside patio, which gets relatively crowded. We went on a week night and at first it was pretty empty and then all of a sudden it got crowded. The food you order at the front and they bring the food to your table. The portion sizes were pretty average. The flavor was nice. The reason I didn’t give it more stars was because we ordered another round of drinks and the same drink did not taste the same. the ribs and the chicken wings both had a nice smoky flavor. You self serve the sauces.. truffles fries had good truffle flavor just needed a little more crispness. Would probably go back for a weekday night to hang out and be low-key.

I was amazled. The chicken sandwich was so huge and crispy! The Hut sauce was also original and tasty. I wasn’t a fan of the bread for the impossible burger and they forgot my onion rings inside, but i was satisfied. Especially given how many fries i got. It was enough for me and my wife to share. The price was also good. Will have to go back.

It's a college bar vibe with amazing BBQ. If you skip the ribs you did nobody a favour. These are some of the best in the south bay. (Dry rub, sauced at your table). The spicy chicken sandwich was excellent. If you think hummus is spicy the chipotle mayo on the default order is for you. If you want a really good idea, ask for the "catch 22" (I think it's what the lady called the spicy sauce that made it 5 stars). The beer choices were typical and underwhelming.

Really much better food than I expected of a college bar. We had wings, Mac and cheese and tritip plate. Tritip surprisingly tender and flavorful, I don't normally order this but did on staff recommendation. Wings cooked perfectly, crunchy outside but not dry inside with just enough spice in the sauce. Mac was ooey AND gooey but mushy

Food is garbage… the bun is so hard you can’t chew it and the meat is very dry. It was $15 for just a sandwich with no fries or drink… worst BBQ I’ve had in years… very disappointing and now I have to go spend more money to buy food I can actually eat.

Wow Excellent food Service? Even better... They made mistake and grout double portions as apologizing

Oh, The Hut, I wish I could enjoy you more. I'm both an alumnus and a current graduate student at the University. Occasionally, it's convenient to drop by before or after night classes for some drinks and food. Or stop in before a home game. However, I've observed a rather peculiar pattern at The Hut – it can be almost empty with just a few customers in one moment. Then, suddenly, it becomes overwhelmingly crowded in a matter of minutes. Be prepared and give yourself extra time when visiting. While their small menu makes it suitable for snacking, none of the food items truly stand out. It’s honestly food that one could find at the Giants or Niners game. The food prices are surprisingly high for what they offer in terms of quality, portion, and customer experience. I don’t usually complain about cost because when we pay even higher prices, we have excellent service, which is rarely the case at the Hut. And a much nicer surrounding beyond wooden benches and uncomfortable stools. The vibe is low-key and best suited for a quick hangout. The drink prices are average and competitive with other bars, which we appreciate. Unfortunately, their service is consistently slow after you order and pay. The staff's demeanor varies; sometimes, they are super friendly, while other times, they seem miserable working there. It's disheartening to enter a place and see frowning faces. I’m unsure what is happening on the backend, but management should better support team members who sometimes seem overwhelmed. Although I'd love to give The Hut five stars, my numerous experiences over the years prevent me from doing so. My cohorts and I have had a couple of memorable nights there that were fun, so that’s positive! Since I’m part of the university community, I’ll be kind enough to give the Hut four stars and continue to support the business.

The beer that is brewed here is 10 out of 10. I come out of my way to go here when I'm looking for top notch craft beer. They also have a fantastic selection of local breweries on their taps, but I never order anything but the house beers here. THEY'RE THAT GOOD.

Blink and you’ll miss this elevated, second story taproom located above Whole Foods. I dropped in around 6 on a Wednesday and the place was poppin like the face of a teenager that just hit puberty. Luckily I was able to order relatively quickly and even luckier, I found a seat that overlooked the intersection with a view of the San José Shark arena, the fabled Shark Tank. The weather was great. The crowd was animated. The bartenders were tag teaming the line like the iconic WWE champs The Hart Foundation. And the Riwaka Juice Double IPA and Textured Shapes Triple IPA were delicious, golden sun goddess kisses to my lips. Notes: there’s an elevator for those that aren’t good with stairs and the restroom is on the first floor, but ask for the code ahead of time or you’ll be sorely disappointed.

Good beer, but the service was quite disappointing. I asked to play a song on the iPad at the bar since the music was generic and uninteresting. Justin, one of the bartenders, was great and worked diligently the whole time, even acknowledging my request positively. However, the first bartender returned from his break and spent more time chatting with tables than tending the bar. When he finally came back, he insisted on playing only his music, showing a terrible attitude and service. If you're using an iPad for music, let the paying customers have a say. Sharing music and taking turns is a simple courtesy that's been overlooked here.

Nice craft beer selection right outside Whole Foods. Grab some takeaway and get a pint. It’s on the second floor, so the SAP Center and mountains make a nice backdrop.

Great spot to grab a pint and some light apps. Buffalo wings, sushi and the pretzel are all great. Awesome outdoor deck seating area with heaters in case it’s a little bit cold.

Cool spot at a convenient location. Friendly bartender. Apparently them and Whole Foods brewery in TX are the only two breweries own by Mr Bezos.

Floodcraft Brewing. So I particularly like this location for a number of factors. First being is that it's connected to whole foods while I don't do a lot of shopping here I do like picking up food for lunch! Whole food's itself has a great little selection of local beers ranging from ciders to ipa! A little + is that they allow you to purchase beer downstairs and drink upstairs at the bar not forcing you to purchase from them directly. No floodcraft doesn't have a huge variety but there menu is always changing and they do have a nice variety. I don't always like what they are serving but more often then not they have something incredibly tasty to me lol I love the fact this location is just off downtown away from the usual hustle bustle bars. It also serves as a great little pregame spot before heading to the sap center for events or hoping on caltrains before heading to a giants game. The upstairs patio is open and usually a nice breeze. And night they have ceiling heaters that keep things at a comfortable temperature! Now I took one star away for one reason only seating is a little less than adequate. This place it does tend to get very popular and busy leaving pretty much standing room only, sometimes seats clear quickly sometimes they don't but it's lacking and definitely leave something to be desired. All in all I recommend this little spot to anyone looking for something new in the downtown area!

Not really great, but ambiance is good. Didn't like the drinks and entry fee was quite expensive. Dj Neel was so bad for Bollywood night. Otherwise ok

Food was alright , drinks tasted like rubbing alcohol. Got seated and pretty much had to track down our server multiple times to get a drink and to order more food. Tried to go give this business more money but they seemed to careless.

Get into this restaurant if you love the smell of weed, loud music and weird ambience 🙄 We ordered Flamin Wings, thinking that it will be hot but the wings dipped into the Sugary BbQ sauce, too sweet and bitter. Small portion size! I would recommend this place for drinks but not for Food. Terrible !!!

We came to Tiki Pete excited to discover a new tiki spot while exploring San Jose. The bouncer and bartender were both super friendly, and the décor hit the right bamboo-and-aloha notes… until you noticed the giant TVs blasting UFC fights. Imagine a sports bar that raided Party City’s tiki aisle and you’ll get the vibe. Now, onto the drinks. Oh boy. Small, pricey, and shockingly bad. My Dirty Shirley (which, to be fair, the bartender did warn me about) tasted exactly like expired cough syrup. The “passionfruit” margarita was more scented-marker than cocktail — zero lime, zero tequila, zero passionfruit. And then there was the Painkiller. We judge a tiki bar by its Painkiller, and this was hands-down the worst we’ve ever had. Somehow it managed to taste like sweet parmesan cheese. Yes, you read that right: cheesy. Sweet. Parmesan. We left in search of palate cleansers and possibly forgiveness from the tiki gods. Great staff, fun décor, but unless you enjoy overpriced cough syrup and cheesy cocktails, maybe stick to beer.

We visited Tiki Pete's on our honeymoon 1.0 because of covid-19. This place was great and we had a wonderful time. Staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. I really liked the poke nachos. We both had a great time. Thank you.

The Drinks were good but the food wasn't that great. The servers are friendly & nice. They also have a DJ(they play reggae). I would recommend this place for their drinks

The food is amazing! Staff are the nicest people you will ever meet, it feels like your visiting family, not at a restaurant or bar/nightclub. The entertainment they provide is priceless. I highly recommend visiting Tiki Pete's!

Had bottle service there almost every week for a long time. Spent tones of money to support the local business but they just lost a regular customer over their mistakes. Staff is a scam, owner Tony or Thinh ordered his bottles to impress the girls at my table and put it on my tap. This place is a joke! The bottle server name Yung and manager Ashley should be fired. The way they treated me as a regular customer after their fault it’s ridiculous. Not taking the payment and whoever is ordered the bottle automatically put on my tab - scam. If it’s a business fault - they should learn how to deal it with correctly. I mean every club you go to they should make sure it’s ok with a customer to put someone else bottles on their tab especially when it’s 450$ reposada which costs 50$ at costco but having put few additional bottles and claiming that I ordered which I never have - it’s just wrong.

Came to The Labyrinth Bar after the Fisher block party to keep the energy going, but the experience fell short. The place wasn’t even at half capacity. I stepped outside for some fresh air, and when I tried to return, the doorman refused to let me back in—despite being with my group, who were sitting right inside at the first table. Instead of handling the situation with professionalism and common sense, the staff reflects poorly on the entire brand. This could’ve been an easy, positive night. Instead, it left a bad impression. I don’t expect special treatment, just basic respect and reasonable service. Unfortunately, that wasn’t delivered. As someone who values a good atmosphere and fair treatment, I’ll be taking my business elsewhere—and I’d encourage others to do the same until The Labyrinth decides to hold itself to a higher standard.

They have a special where you get 50% off drinks if you get a food item before 10pm

Friend of mine requested Starships by Nicki Minaj a few times over 3 hours. They kept saying they'd play it but never did. I looked at the queue and saw 30 songs that were not Starships by Nicki Minaj. We were the only ones to request a song that night.

Amazing vibes on Saturday night, the dance floor was packed, best club to dance in SJ DT

The bouncer was hella racist and discriminating… his remarks and way of handling stuff is unacceptable!

PROS: * Lively place to visit on weekend nights. CONS: * Don't go here for beer. No taps and horrible bottled beer. * Cocktails are very sweet, even cocktails that are supposed to be bitter are sweet. Are they making them for kids? * Very limited choice of hard alcohol. NOTES: Go here for the crowd and lively environment, not the drinks.

Good food. Wings are decent, just OK. I had the traditional death sauce. It was not that hot and the flavor was kind of weird. The steak sandwich I had was good, not the best, but not the worst. The place is nothing special and definitely a little pricey. Has good selection of beers as well.

These perfectly moist, crispy wings with nuclear sauce are some of the best wings I’ve ever tasted. Great ambiance with games on the TV and an impressive variety of drinks on tap, but the food is good enough that I’d go for that alone. 10/10 would recommend.

Tasty wings, had the pesto chicken sammy, delicious. Kinda dive/sports bar, no hard drinks...would be nice if they did. Clean and food came out fast, plentiful and rich in flavor.

SmokeEaters has the best wings in town—crispy, juicy, and absolutely drenched in the most addictive sauce ever. I could drink that sauce. Friendly service, great selection of beers, and wings worth craving every week.

Great place to eat and chill! We ordered some Wingers with Lemon Pepper & Atomic sauces, Beef Nachos, and a Cali Burger with Curly Fries. It seems like this place is pet friendly. There are TV screens everywhere, so a great place to watch a game plus they have so many different beers on tap.

Been here a few times always a good experience. Got the chicken sandwich with garlic fries hit the spot! Also the girl up front was super happy and friendly made it a nice evening to dine in. When ever I'm in the area and I'm craving wings it's all ways a must!

Two years ago I had a very different experience to the one I had today. On this visit, the staff were fantastic. The bar area was spotless. The food was really good. A complete 180 turnaround from the last time I visited I will be back.
