13 Best Wine Bars in San Jose

“We decided to come here on a whim and had a great experience! We aren’t huge wine drinkers but Ty made us very comfortable and educated us about the different wines. Thanks for a great experience and if we have the opportunity we will definitely visit again ☺“

“Great vibes,
we needed to wait for like half an hour before seated so we walked around.
The food comes out really fast and the wine was great I especially liked some dry riesling.
First time for me and loved it!
would totally recommend spending some time here.“

“Good selection of craft beers, wine, and small plates. Food was tasty and service was great! Highly recommended!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 6 Stars Out of 5! An Exceptional Wine Bar Experience! 🍷

If I could give this wine bar 6 stars, I absolutely would! What a gem! Amazing vibes, beautiful ambiance, fantastic wines, and genuinely warm hospitality.

The heart and soul of this place is Jason, the owner and host, who truly understands the art of wine, people, and hospitality. His knowledge of wine is impressive, but what makes him exceptional is his ability to make everyone feel welcome, comfortable, and special.

It's rare to find a place where great wine, wonderful atmosphere, and genuine human connection come together so effortlessly.

This is more than a wine bar, it's an experience! A place you come for a glass of wine and stay for the atmosphere, conversations, and hospitality.

Cheers to Jason for creating something truly special! 🍷❤️“

“Love the Pinot that Jesse served us, paninis were delicious and so was the cheese and fruit tray, beautifully arranged. We always have a good time when we visit. Jesse and Anthony always provide great service and make the place very enjoyable.“

“I love this place , romantic“

“Great little find after we had brunch in Santana Row. Great wine and small bite selections. Got together with old friends and made it a wonderful weekend. Will certainly be back! Only downfall is they didnt have blends which was one of my favorites but the mixed flight I had was not bad.“

“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!“

“From the moment we stepped into La Catalana, we were transported to an authentic Spanish-Catalan experience. The atmosphere exudes warmth, passion, and attention to detail, making it the perfect place for a memorable evening. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish crafted with care and rich in flavor. The tapas were exquisite, and the hand-selected Spanish-Catalan wines perfectly complemented our meal. Rodrigo, our server, went above and beyond, providing exceptional recommendations and ensuring we had an incredible dining experience. His attentiveness and knowledge truly elevated our visit. A special highlight was meeting Monserrat, the owner, whose kindness and hospitality made us feel at home. Her love for the community and dedication to creating a welcoming space is evident in every aspect of La Catalana. We visited to celebrate friendship and an award received by one of our friends, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place. As community leaders, we wholeheartedly recommend this hidden gem to everyone. La Catalana is more than a restaurant—it’s an experience filled with passion, culture, tradition, and heart. We have found a new favorite spot, and more importantly, a new friend in Monserrat and her team.“

“The entire experience at The Creek Eatery was phenomenal. We held a wedding rehearsal dinner for 65 people and although the seating was unconventional for the event, our party absolutely loved the setting. It was such a fun atmosphere! The food, hospitality, and service were perfect. They were quick to respond with communication throughout the planning process and the day of. I highly recommend this restaurant for a regular meal or special event! Top notch kitchen, servers and bar staff.“

“Amazing Thanksgiving dinner thank you so much. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“excellent service and food is great.“

“This is some of the best Thai food I have found in the Bay Area. Their curries in particular have quite a smooth flavor - I would recommend the Panang, the Red, or the Massaman. I find it hard to tear myself away from those, but when I do, I have had an enjoyable time with both the Pad Thai and the Pad See Ew. And if one is getting takeout and wants rice to eat later, the Siam Fried Rice is great. Tomato in fried rice is not something I have seen before, but it tastes great in this! Frankly, I'm surprised I rarely have to worry about getting a spot - this place is astonishingly under-utilized for being so amazing. Probably because a lot of folks do not know about them, but they keep my vegetarian partner well fed, and she is a bit of a picky eater besides, so I would like to keep them around and in business! Finally, they are doing an amazing job of staying open and efficient during the Covid-19 crisis, implementing better order/online and cheap delivery options. Thank you so much Thai Erawan for doing a great job, and I hope more people eat there so that you can always be around! (Oh, and the heart-shaped rice-moulds just happened to be very on point the first few times I brought my partner there - so extra points in my book for that!)“
