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.

The espresso martinis are amazing! Dakota hands down makes the best surprise drinks if you want good drink recommendations I’d go to Dakota (guy in the photo). The music also always a vibe!

Classy Engaging Experience at Second Story Los Gatos. Awesome Crafted Cocktails amidst A Plush Decor and A Stylish Well Dressed Crowd made our Romantic Evening into a buzzing, pulsating fun filled dancing night out with the DJ spinning some great music. Awesome.

Moose gave an amazing Martini cart experience. We enjoyed the Second Story Martini and the Vesper Martini. Both of which were exceptional! The service is exceptional and the ownership is deeply involved and does everything with integrity and care.

Would give this place zero stars if I could. From waiting an hour in line not even to be seated but to go into a bar with no standing room, rude security constantly in my way, bar tender spills an entire drink on me after I paid $56 for TWO drinks. We were super dressed up as we were told there was dress code yet they let in a group of girls with hoodies looking like they just came from a work out. It’s actually crazy. Definitely not worth the hype and will not be coming back.

Love the ambiance of this new upscale bar, would love it even more if they had some kind of dance floor. Did feel a bit too crowded and uncomfortable to have a conversation around the bar area and tables are small. Service and drinks were excellent, great new spot in Los Gatos if you reserve a table ahead of time!

Second Story Bar is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is always welcoming, but what truly sets it apart are the bartenders. They’re attentive, friendly, and have a natural way of making you feel right at home. I especially want to highlight Moose—he’s not just good at what he does, he’s exceptional. Moose is highly skilled, creative, and precise with every drink he makes. Whether it’s a classic cocktail or something off-menu, he delivers it with style and consistency. On top of that, his warm personality and attentiveness to detail make every visit memorable. If you’re looking for a bar with top-notch service and bartenders who genuinely care about their craft, Second Story Bar is the place to be.
My first visit to second story and Ash made me feel like I have been coming here for years. He is an amazing bartender, mixologist, and friendly person who makes you feel right at home every time you come to the bar. He is one of the many reasons I keep coming back to the bar every single time I.

Second Story delivers a perfect mix of sophistication and energy, making it an ideal spot for a night out. The upscale yet trendy atmosphere creates a stylish backdrop, with modern décor and a lively vibe that feels both refined and fun. It’s the kind of place that strikes the right balance between chic and inviting, making every visit feel like an occasion.
The service here truly stands out. Victoria, TiKa Gabrielle & Kassidy are just some of the hard-working Staff, whom are not only professional and polished but also warm and approachable, making you feel genuinely welcomed from the moment you arrive. 🍸

Every time my friends and I visit Second Story, we’re always greeted with warmth and positivity—especially from Dakota. He’s an outstanding bartender who consistently welcomes us with a big smile, making us feel genuinely valued. His drinks are fantastic, and his attention to detail never goes unnoticed.
Cassidy is also wonderful—her upbeat attitude and friendly demeanor add so much to the experience. It’s always a pleasure seeing both of them when we stop by for a drink. Their hospitality truly makes Second Story one of our favorite spots.

Hey, I want to start with the atmosphere, you won't find the place where the music, people, vibe, drinks, service match so great. Bartenders will always make a drink that pertains to your taste, tell them what you like and they'll make it for you. Damn, they know how to make Jungle Bird!! No bars and clubs I visited in the SF freaking bay area knows what it is, they do.
My boy Moose, is a high-end bartender, he knows what to do, how to do it, he is prepping his own recipe of milk punch just to surprise everyone on a Saturday night. Ask him for whatever drink you like, he'll make it, so will others. This place became my go-to from the first time I visited it. Going there at least 2-3 times a week.
Best cocktails! Best Bartenders. Best Atmosphere. I'm European, it's the only place including SF that gives me European lounge club vibes, and what can compare with it?! Loving this place in and out. You wanna take your date here, do; you want to chill with your friends, that's the spot! You want to meet cool people talk and chill, yes; you want to meet a girl, guy and have a casual convo and who knows what after, you're in the right place! Come, enjoy, drink, dance, and yeah you can dance!! DJ is Awesome! Visit it once and you'll be craving to visit it more.
Cheers, cudos, hugs and kisses to this place, loving it and gonna keep going there every week. Love you Second Story, guys!!
