43 Best Bars in San Jose

“Mini Boss Arcade in San Jose is a fun, lively spot that nails the arcade-bar vibe! Thursdays are a must with free gameplay, and they’ve got a solid variety of games for every kind of gamer. Their happy hour food options are super limited—you’ll find just three choices, including a slice of pizza that’s very Little Caesars-esque. Overall, it’s a great place for a night out with friends, especially if you’re there for the games and atmosphere more than the food!“

“Reyna was our server and provided exceptional service along with such a friendly demeanor the whole time, we dined on a busy Saturday evening and she was splendid the whole evening. We complimented the whole dining experience, especially the cuisine. Reyna brought out the chef!! We had the extreme pleasure to meet Chef Yerika Munoz, I disclosed my sincerest appreciation for the cuisine and representation of Mexican cuisine, as it is my heritage. I plan on bringing my family because of the amazing and memorable experience we had!“

“comida deliciosa , la mejor atención y el ambiente perfecto!“

“Loving all the food and clean place“

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

“?CHICKEN ADOBO OMELETTE $17If you like sour food you might like this very typical Filipino dish! Vinegar cooked omelette rice!When it was served, it was really fragrant and appetizing!But I personally don’t like vinegar very much, so the taste doesn’t quite suit me.?DA SITUATION $13I like this very much! It’s a dish that’s perfect for brunchI like the crispy texture added by the tots inside~You can choose the meat according to your preference. We chose Lechon roast suckling pig.?SPICY GARLIC SHRIMP $19Seeing this makes me miss the food trucks in Hawaii.Their seasoning is good and the garlic flavor is less intense compared to the Hawaiian food truck.The problem is that as someone who grew up by the seaI think its shrimps are not very fresh (the meat is not firm but soft)“

“Chill atmosphere, GREAT staff, cold beer, music you will never hear on the radio (that's a good thing.). #supportlivemusic.com“

“First visit and will be back soon. The hangover brunch and pancakes were both excellent and honestly, the best service we have experienced since moving to CA. Alexus was awesome he made some great recommendations kept the drinks topped up. A+ service. Oh, and 3 screens of football!!“

“Great downtown San Jose spot with cool bartenders“

“Oh, my God, our life's shatter when they close evergreen InnNow they're open once again our life's are full of joy once agains. Thank you Evergreen Inn for coming back we miss you a lot. Please don't ever leave us again.????“

“Bartender Brian was fun for my brother and me to hang with on a Saturday afternoon after just getting into town for the Chiefs at 49ers game on Sunday. Really wanted to go back but didn't make it work - will most definitely go back again if in San Jose/Japantown! The price per person includes a few beverages and highly recommended (which became obvious WHY) pizza and the Duchess sandwich from nearby J-Town Pizza! Absolutely delicious and ate the leftovers for every meal between Saturday and Monday morning! Thank you, Brian, for your hospitality and local's recommendations!! And for breaking out the Red Horse by San Miguel brewery in the Philippines - a blast from my past!“

“My family & I enjoyed our dining experience at this Peruvian & Spanish restaurant. The food is nice as is the service.“

“I got the single patty cheeseburger combo and nugs combo with a side of Mac and cheese. I think the nugs combo is a good bang for your buck because they give such a large amount of nuggets and fries. They taste delicious with honey and their special sauce and were fried to perfection. I enjoyed their cheeseburger as well and would get it again!
Just a heads up for anyone who orders the chicken salad, my best friend got it and it was a whole bunch of nuggets with what appeared to be a small amount of spring mix underneath and a side of ranch. She was a bit disappointmented, but she wanted a lighter meal, but it was too heavy for her.“

“Small place, about 25 table seats and 4 bar seats. 5 beer taps, full bar and a nice menu focusing on pizza. Locally owned, with a light boxing theme (mostly in the pictures on the wall). I only had a beer this visit, but the pizza, meatballs, and wings looked and smelled really good.“

“Nice staff, got a drink quickly. They had a fun atmosphere with music, dancing, and a pool table in the back. It was very small, so was packed with people. We attempted to play a game a pool but the list was way too long. Ended up enjoying a beer outside(which was really nice).“

“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.“

“The hotel was well maintained, very cool inside, the rooms were great, the hotel is centrally located and easy to get around. The staff couldn’t do enough for me, they were very kind and courteous. They have a nice gym and a nicer outside pool area“

“When people say this is a neighborhood bar, it's true. Everyone here generally knows one another. I would say from either socializing or the event they have throughout the week etc. It really does have a community vibe. Always a good time here! Also, the Bartenders Mark, Mark and Bernard are freaking awesome men, they are prompt, social and very aware of what's happening throughout the night. Sweet men!“

“Buen. Servicio. Lugar. Amplio. Exelente. Mucica. DJ. Y. Karaoke. El. Mejor. Lugar. Para. Divertirse.sanamente.“

“If you're looking for a good time, you'll find it here. Good selection of wine, food, and ambiance. Order inside, sit wherever and food will be delivered to your table. Super friendlt staffs. All of their foods are scrumptious but we especially enjoyed the Bucatini - surprise fusion of Tom Yum soup in a pasta form! You really can't go wrong. They often have live music and sitting outside to enjoy it all is just absolute perfect.“

“Very cool place! Good food, friendly staff! Great atmosphere!!“

“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“

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

“I highly recommended the people are nice the bartenders are great beautiful women handsome man when I walk in I feel like there’s love throughout the place“

“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.“

“Excellent food! Highly recommend this restaurant. The waiter was friendly as were all the staff. We will definitely be back!❤️“

“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.“

“Yard House is the perfect spot for beer lovers and foodies alike! They have an impressive selection of draft beers, offering something for every palate. The place is massive and usually packed, creating a lively and energetic vibe. Their late-night happy hour from 10-12 PM is a great deal, making it even more enticing. We absolutely loved their iconic onion ring tower and found all their appetizers to be delicious and well-prepared. The drinks and overall atmosphere make it a fun spot to hang out with friends and enjoy a great evening. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Love everyone there they all have great Attitudes“

“This restaurant is nice and clean. Pho's broth was delicious and rich for most people. As for me, the broth was alright, Fresno pho's broth is better for sure, like pho 9. Combo pho, either thin or thick noodle, is a "must get" if you like the bone rib in your Pho, for appx $17.95 and an extra $6.95 for extra brisket. Vietnamese thick noodles mixed with veggies and chicken were interesting but not my favorite. The seasoning of this dish was mostly from the standard sweet and spicy sauce with a hint of sourness in most vermicelli dry dishes. The steak stir-fried dish was almost perfect. Our first steak dish has a piece of black hair on it but was quickly dressed by the owner, and we got a new dish after 5-10 mins. The steak was juicy and delicous. Flavor on point, and yes, I would get the steak again!! Stir-fried chicken with crisy noodles was alright. It's like eating a sitr fried dish with fried noodles instead of rice. Vietnamese iced coffee was nice and strong. Fried squid was fresh and crunchy, but I could use a little more salt to the seasoning based on my palate. Services were fast and worth it. We didn't have to wait longer than 10 mins for all of the dishes to come. This place definitely received my quality, but not quantity.“
