Absolutely no reason to have TSA style security checks for a bar. Also the line is inflated to make it seem more popular because once you get in there’s plenty of room and even places to sit. The cocktails were great and the bartenders were wonderful but management seems pretty stupid

Not in downtown SJ very often, but when I am this is always somewhere that I love to go! This is such a fun spot to go to, especially since they’re so festive for the holidays. Definitely a place I recommend visiting while in downtown SJ!

GREAT atmosphere! GREAT bar service. Christmas decorations were on point. Bathroom was clean. Outdoor patio was fun and full of life. Great escape for some fresh air.
I understand how everything is becoming high end and you are not just paying for the liquor and mixes in the drink but you pay for the experience. However, some of our party does not drink alcohol and drink simple drinks to still enjoy themselves. Such as Shirley temple or redbull on the rocks. One of our people got a Shirley temple and then the other asked for one and then another bartender came up and said we can not have that it has to be on our menu. The menu only caries 2 choices for non alcoholic drinks. Only a few of us didn't drink but the fact that one of us got the drink and other wasn't allowed. We all ended our night early at paper plane bar because of this. We wanted to have a good time and since we are not allowed to purchase simple drinks we left. I will say the other bartender was great and the atmosphere was amazing, we wish we could pay for a drink we know and saw them make for another customer, just not us. I would not recommend coming here.

I liked the whole Christmas concept: music, decoration, drinks... Plus everything I tried was delicious and had good service. Too bad you have to wait for a table, standing for a while, because there are a lot of people.

A San Jose staple, this bar is an absolute gem for hanging out with friends. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, and the decorations are nothing short of amazing. The massive display of drinks makes it not only a great spot for a night out but also perfect for capturing Instagram-worthy photos. During Christmas, the place transforms into a festive wonderland with incredible lighting and holiday-themed decorations, creating a magical vibe that's hard to resist. Whether you're looking for a fun night with friends or a unique spot to soak in the holiday cheer, this is a place you absolutely must check out!

Really great bar. Excellent selection of bourbons and whiskeys and creative coctails. The bartender suggested some great cocktails and whiskeys/bourbons, and the other staff were kind enough to provide additional suggestions. The food was excellent as well (I had their Big Mac burger).
