Fountainhead Bar Reviews
Graduation day. Sister in law. I love her. We were early. We arrived an hour before the graduation started so hells yeah I'm gonna get a drink to kill time. Brother and law and I went out while mother and sister in law headed to the venue. This was 4 blocks from the San Jose State University campus and was one of the the few bars open at this hour so we hit it. It is located inside of the SOFA market which is like a small version of San Pedro square if you've ever been there....read full review
Depending on where you get, the food selections are excellent. Beer selection is OK but pricing is a bit steep. The Pilsner glasses that they use run a bit on the small side.
We went to Fountainhead on Saturday night and had a great time! Live music, mixed drinks (great tamarind margarita - that might have been a special for that night but lots of other interesting options) and interesting wine options. We grabbed food from a couple of the other outlets (vietnoms and japacurry) which was tasty. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Great time!
