Very welcoming place for newcomers. Best to come on Tues live jam. Only issue is that it's a little unfair because I don't drink alcohol and a diet Coke for $3 for about 4-6 ounces is ridiculous. I went to the 3 Flames and for $3 I got a full 16 oz glass.

Came over on a Thursday with some friends and no one else was here, but Stephanie made it fun! We got to play music and order snacks. We had a fun time. Will be back again soon. Thanks Stephanie for pouring it up for us!

I’ve been going to the Blue Note for a very long time and it’s always been a great place for me to have a drink and meet new people and the service is amazing never a dull moment in the Blue

Oh my gosh, the DJ is totally killing it! The drinks? Super affordable. And let's talk about the food is fantistic! Plus, it's in a shopping center, so hello, lots of parking. Super convenient since it's right by the freeway. And the dance floor? Perfect size, not too big but just enough. The vibe here is everything!

We have been coming here for years and you only need to walk in the door to have a good time. If you need an attitude adjustment this is the place for you. Last night me and my girls popped in for an impromptu cocktail and because of our bartender Stephanie we laughed and talked and had a fantastic time. For great drinks and great service See Stephanie at The Note

I have been at the note a half dozen times. Starting last year. NOW IT HAS DEFINITELY GONE HILL. My son was in town, he wanted to go a laid-back place to have a drink. We sat at the bar woman were coming up to my son to talk. The old regular did not like it. Tried to start a fight with me son. The owner daughter sat at the other end bar and did nothing, nor did security. I returned a month later thinking it was one time thing. Once again same guy is in there doing the same thing. I ask the bar tender why the allow back in there bar? ...BECAUSE HE SPENDS LOTS OF MONEY.

Wandering around Milpitas on a Monday night, no food, no beer. Found the Note, quiet (it was Monday), but friendly, laid back traditional bar atmosphere. Very cool.

Super fun piano karaoke. Great ambience. Bartender was kind. Drinks were good. Loved the decor. Cozy and even kinda romantic

Came here on a whim on a Tuesday because I’ve been wanting to do an open mic for some time. It was my first time ever performing in front of anyone and I swear these people are the nicest group I’ve ever been associated with. The bartender was so nice and friendly the band was so accommodating and understanding and also sounded so good playing with me to a song they’ve never even heard!! Thanks so much to the Note and I’ll be back hopefully for every open mic! <3
We just moved to the neighborhood and was so excited to go to this lounge because we thought we had a spot close to home but we were wrong. The bartender is extremely rude and didn't even acknowledge us until about 10 minutes of sitting there. After a few drinks she said she was going to kick us out because she said we were being loud. It was me and my husband literally just sitting here having a fun date night. The couple next to us left also because the same reason. They were set up to have a birthday party for the owner and from my observation she didn't want to deal with any outsiders just whoever was going to attend the party. Her name was Stephanie I believe.. total B@$#h this place lost 4 customers that night alone due to her shitty attitude.

First then here. First person to walk in. Quiet at first. Jade made me feel welcome and was personable. Then customers came in. Everyone fun, music great and well if you're not moving your body while sitting at the bar. Your rhythm is on lockdown. Walk in and be part of the party if you don't start the party.

Tonight was my first time going to this hidden gem! I loved Stephanie, the bartender! She is the reason I will definitely be back! Small, chill place, but definitely makes you feel at home! Cue music..... sometimes you want to go where every body knows your name... and they're always glad you came.... You get the vibe!

I haven't been to the blue note in year lol.Can I come there and have a good time like I use to? And how about Tuesday night?

This is one of the best places to come for a drink and good time. It very laid back. Good music and good people. Every time I come to town, I stop in . One thing I like is it a mixed crowd, and everyone is friendly.
