50 Best Bars in San Jose

“Andres gave us the best experience we could ever ask for. Fun, amazing food, good music, and elation. He made sure we were well taken care of the whole time and made us laugh so hard. Oh and we’re coming back for the guacamole for sure“

“Great atmosphere
Great service
It was slow since I was there on a Sunday afternoon around 6. Pleasant for a drink alone and play a game or five :)
Next time I’ll try the food
The Zinny was a great and refreshing drink 🫶🏽“

“The Last Round Tavern is a great spot for pizza, drinks, and out of this world good meatballs. The pizza comes out hot and flavorful, with a satisfying crust, plenty of toppings, and just the right amount of cheese. The casual setting makes it perfect for hanging out with friends or catching a game - it's fun local spot worth checking out!“

“Great downtown San Jose spot with cool bartenders“

“fun for people of all ages, highly recommended.“

“always a great band playing! very professional staff. I love the owner Bev!“

“Met a friend for drinks! Bartender was friendly and engaging! Atmosphere was energetic and their appetizer meatballs were amazing! Will definitely go back! ❤️“

“One of my favorite restaurants in the Bay!! The ambiance here is impeccable and the food is sooo good! Some of my favorites include the tom yum bucatini, any of the tostadas, summer peaches, and fingerling potatoes. Can’t go wrong with anything here.“

“I am still thinking about this fun little speakeasy I found when I was in town! The drinks were uniquely delicious and beautiful and so was the food. I will be dreaming about milk bread/ dipping sauce & Cantaloop cocktail, not pictured.“

“Wonderfully family owned business, where the bartenders know their drinks, staff is quick in keeping grounds clean and an amazing community fun space especially for sports games and hosting events! We had our high school reunion there!

As far as food, you can easily order from Spread (sandwiches) or Jtown pizza and are allowed to bring outside food in too!“

“Chill spot with a pool table, strong drinks, and seriously good tacos, especially on Taco Tuesdays. 🌮 La Korita’s Restaurant is there daily serving up legit Mexican food that pairs perfectly with whatever you’re drinking. The vibe is always good, and Tina is hands-down the best bartender. She’s super friendly, attentive, and makes the place even more fun to hang out at. Great food, great drinks, and an all-around solid spot.“

“I love this place I have been going here for years“

“Come as you are-r-r-r and come hungry. Great value and diner feel. We tried the Pork chops and eggs and Philly cheesesteak. Both plates were excellent, and we had lots of leftovers for brunch the next day. Friend attentive staff that never let your coffee cup go empty.“

“We had delicious food and were able well served by Lucky who was very attentive, yet gave us space. I truly enjoyed the experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommend! Thank you Lucky for a grate service!“

“Stopped in Friday and the BBQ Chicken was great. The baked potato had sour cream a butter. The beans were very tasty. The price was great and so was the service. I'm going to come back and try the breakfast and might add a bloody Mary. Nice bartender.“

“The food here is very good but even better is the service. The staff was very genuine, attentive and quick. Maybe the best service I've had in my life. I'm not in the area often but would definitely go again“

“It's my first time coming here. Street parking or paid parking lot only. Outdoor and indoor dining. Limited seating inside. Their menu is simple and yet offers enough choices for customers. I love the amount of craft beer choices. I'm glad they support a local craft brewery.

I ordered their No. 1 Hot Chicken Nashville Style Sandwich with fries. I was not disappointed at all. The chicken was crispy in the outside and juicy in the inside. The spiciness was perfect for me. Their fries were thick and well done.

The only thing that needs to improve is the hospitality of the cashier. She seemed like she had a long day based on her flat affect. She did not welcome customers coming in or checked if they liked their food. Other than that, this place rocks!“

“Great neighborhood bar in West San Jose with friendly bartenders, strong cocktails, pool tables, darts, and a welcoming atmosphere. The service is excellent, the drinks are reasonably priced, and the crowd is always friendly. If you're looking for a local sports bar or lounge near Westgate Mall, Park Lane Lounge is a great spot to relax and have fun.“

“Excellent vibe, nice folks classic cocktails.“

“Had a really enjoyable experience here! The food was delicious and had great flavor, and everything tasted well worth the price. The atmosphere was another big plus, with a vibrant, modern feel and plenty of seating options. I also liked the wide selection of beers, which gave us plenty to choose from. The service was excellent and made the visit even better. Overall, it’s a great place with tasty food, good drinks, and a comfortable atmosphere. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.“

“first time and quite impressed, clean, homey, and location has access to restaurants.“

“muy sabrosa birria es la mejor birria q he probado“

“Great food and service. Excellent selection of German beers and Schnaps.“

“Food was excellent! Flat iron steak was done med rare as ordered. Chicken with cranberry sauce and brussels sprouts was perfect. The delicious apple/caramel bread pudding definitely enough to share. The atmosphere is an older converted garage but it is well worth going for the food!
Close to TechCU arena, we will be back. Go Barracuda!“

“I originally wanted to try a different pho spot, but the line was way too long so I decided to give Pho This Way a try instead — and I’m glad I did. The food was surprisingly really good, especially the pho. Their broken rice is also a must try. Great flavor, good portions, and fast service. Definitely coming back“

“Las bebidas para Las familia“

“I visit El Catrin often, and it’s always a fantastic experience! The service is amazing, and the staff are incredibly attentive, making sure everything is perfect every time. The owners go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, and their hospitality is truly appreciated. I’ve never had a single issue here, and it’s clear they care about providing top-notch service. Highly recommend!“

“Love everyone there they all have great Attitudes“

“This is a safe, fun and authentic bar with excellent staff, great drinks, local support and fun for all ages (21 and above) - the bar has a local vibe, plenty of free parking, and the karokee is so fun - bring your corporate guests, your best ‘singing friends’ and your best humor to this one - you’ll be glad you did. It is a ‘local’ jewel in the South Bay. Applause“

“One PHO place in the Bay Area. The Pho House Special is so good. Shrimp (jumble) Garlic noodle is the best. The spring rolls are always good. Very fresh and tasty. Modern Restaurant Concepts insides. Perfect place for private party.“

“One of the best places to have a big party. The banquet rooms are spacious; you can seat up to 160 guests. I’ve hosted 2 events here already - my parents’ 50th anniversary in 2014 and my 50th birthday this year. Easy process to reserve the space & select menu. Great customer service from all staff.“

“Delicious food, great ambiance. We got two tea leaf salads to share amongst 5 of us, plus a noodle dish, veggie dish, and shrimp and fish dishes. There were 10-12 shrimp in our entrees, so we were happy with that. All of the flavors were fantastic. Hopefully this place sticks around for a long time!“

“happy hour for the drinks!“

“Es muy caro y el Lugar muy caliente no hay aire acondicionad“

“First visit to the Hbar, great tacos, nice menu, with decent prices. The menu was not overpriced, with a decent amount of options. Not allot of beers or cocktails on tap, but it works for the quick and easy. The service was really nice, which made it nice, and local people who knew a lot about other places to visit.“

“Great place. Its my go to really. Good drinks good people people from all walks of life. They have live bands djs and karaoke nights that everyone gets in on. Ive seen a hand full of dogs there and they have outside seating and good security and a taco truck across the street that o recommend 👌“
