8 Best Gastropubs near Santa Clara

“2023 has been a strange year, somehow me and my good friend both found gainful employment. And said gainful employment is a 12 minute walk from each other. So when you and the guy you drink with happen to be work neighbors, it only makes sense to go bar hopping during your lunch breaks. They have a 8/10 burger here, plenty juicy, plenty cheesy. And the fries arent bad. the ranch is different but also not bad but might not be what you're completely used to. Service was super nice here though, but I wasnt the biggest fan of the beers, felt the one from oakland had too many hints of curry flavor which really threw me off. Feel this place would be bustling after work though. Like really packed with workers from all the nearby offices.“

“I was here working for a week and was eating fast food and my body was highly upset about the whole food situation. On our last day in town I found this place with great reviews.Bartender was great and answered all our questions, I finally went with the pork chop.It was easily hands down, the best pork chop I ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Add a old fashioned and I was in a great place to be.Absolutely ?. Will definitely return to give the 5 Starz this place deserves. Do yourself a favor and just go!“

“Lindsey was by far the best service/bartender/service manager/ etc etc that I've ever had, never once did I have to remind her what I wanted, she was quick to wait on me and her spirits always on point and a good vibe!! Another reason to come back again and again to LM“

“Our go-to place when we are going to an event at the SAP arena! My husband and I can split the bbq brisket dinner and feel full but still have energy. Love pairing it with a glass of Opolo but their cocktails are quite good too. Their tomato soup and grilled cheese is great as is the fish and chips.“

“The boyfriend and I stumbled across this hidden gem by accident -- and, we're so glad that we did.For starters, we were able to grab a seat immediately upon walking in on a Saturday night. Our bartenders were absolutely fantastic -- very fun, engaging, and entertaining. I wanted a cocktail but didn't care for the way it's traditionally made so they got creative for me, and the drink was soooo good. Refreshing, and very light -- even the boyfriend was impressed. He had a couple beers on tap and shared that they were also good. The menu is unique in that there are skewers of all kinds offered. It's not something you see all the time and the variety is pretty cool. We even got to sample one on the house, and it was really good!Here are the options offered as of October 2022:Lamb Skewer $2.85Chicken Skewer $2.85Beef Skewer $2.85Hot Link $2.85Green Chili Skewer $1.95Mushroom Skewer $1.95Eggplant Skewer $1.95In addition to the skewers, the menu also offers small bites to pair with your drink of choice.Corn on the Cob $2.85French Fries $3.95Chili Fries $7.95Garlic Fries $4.95Chili Bowl $495Dumplings $4.95Cucumber w/ garlic $4.95Vegetable Egg Rolls $4.95Onion Rings $4.95Must admit, the prices are more than fair for small bites in downtown San Jose. We had a few drinks before Ubering home. Shout out to this joint for an incredible experience. We'll be back to visit soon!“

“What an amazing little place for the drinks and a small bite . Beautiful done , loved the rustic decor and its vibes ….. it’s a beautiful place to just catch up with friends or to enjoy Row’s hustle bustle . Loved their spicy margaritas, loaded nachos and caramel churros .“

“I went in this past Friday night it was a bit crowded but the staff was very helpful getting me a table 'the food was great I didn't really like the taps because it was really confusing the waitress was really helpful even though it was busy. I totally like the atmosphere and the music that was playing I would totally recommend this establishment. Thank You.' service was excellent!!!!!.“

“Be careful what you ask for, especially here, cause you’ll get it and more. My 10 wings and some disco tots was enough to feed an army. Massive wings with great flavor and juiciness. Paired with one of several beers (make sure to ask for samples first) made this meal a great first outing post COVID. I’ll be going back when the game is on as there were several screens. Definitely recommend it for anyone who needs them wings.“
