12 Best Cocktail Bars in Los Gatos

“Best cocktail bar in the South Bay!“

“The Catania is a wonderful place with an inviting atmosphere and great energy. The people—staff, owners, and guests alike—are genuinely friendly and make you feel welcome every time you’re there. The food is excellent, consistently well prepared, and clearly made with care.

Whether you’re stopping by for a meal or spending time with friends, The Catania delivers a great experience. Highly recommended.“

“We went for after dinner cocktails to celebrate a friends birthday. I made a reservation ahead of time, but they book up early, so reserve early. I did need a better time and called and they were able to accommodate us and made the change. Super glad I called and asked. Cocktails are really good. The atmosphere is great. It’s dark, quiet, romantic. We all had a version of an espresso martini. One had a regular one, which came with a toasted marshmallow. She loved it. The rest of us had a special that was a pumpkin flavored espresso martini. It was so good. It had some sweetness with the crème, delicious pumpkin flavored espresso martini oh so good! Cocktails run about $20-$22 each. Not much for food here. They had caviar, chips, nuts, and Something else. We did not order food.
I would recommend it to try at least once. Great date night cocktail, great for a friend meet up.“

“bartender is nice, clean atmosphere and friendly people“

“We were shooting for a noon reservation at Parkside, but with unusually light traffic and the parking gods being on my side, we arrived twenty minutes early. Our reservation was for an outdoor table, but we changed our minds and they were happy to seat us inside. The food was excellent. I had the crispy chicken sandwich which was a little messy but very tasty. My wife said the smoked turkey was fantastic too.“

“Loma Brewing was an awesome place to have our party. Their food was delicious, the space was fabulous and the staff were incredible. They were so easy to work with and made the planning and day of so easeful. I felt so supported. I highly recommend them for events and also just a night out!

Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggie options“

“We had the pleasure of meeting and dining with Ali, the owner chef. Ali ordered for us and we had a most delicious meal. Started with the sample plate and then ordered 3 mains, 2 desserts and finished with turkish coffees. The bartender recommended a bottle of red wine that was perfect. Ali shared the tradition of turning the turkish coffee over after drinking to let the grounds become your fortune teller. All delicious and beautifully presented. We love the cozy atmosphere and the booth seating. I highly recommend this restaurant for a completely new and gourmet side of turkish dining.“

“Truly a wonderful brunch experience! I had a vegetarian omelette and it was delicious. Our server was friendly and available but did not hover. I really like the mix of Asian and traditional American menu choices. It is a roomy restaurant with an attractive decor including a full bar.“

“Good steak 🥩 and pleasant atmosphere.“

“It’s the best restaurant experience in Los Gatos. The food, ambiance, experience is amazing!!“

“Our party of seven, loved the experience. We ordered many tapas and re-ordered after finding what we loved most. Same with beverages. Three of us shared lobster paella. Beef Wellington was very popular. Our server, Stacey, was very attentive to our questions, our needs and our orders. It was extremely loud, as we were seated directly next to the entertainment. We had come for that specific reason so we had no complaints there. The musicians did three sets, with breaks in between. They accompanied a Flaminco Dancer. We had to shout to communicate, as we celebrated my daughter's birthday.. Staff presented her with a candlelit assortment of desserts. Everything was delicious.“
