"The Fountainhead, an urban haunt in downtown San Jose’s art district, is named after a classic novel about a young architect, and the cocktail menu compliments the architecture magazines on the tables. Take, for example, the Greene and Greene — a blend of Japanese whisky, ginger liqueur, lime, green tea, and mint, which recognizes an architecture firm known for its extravagant bungalows — or the Aalto — a drink featuring rum, horchata liqueur, lime, cinnamon, and nutmeg named after one of the modernist masters. The Fountainhead is housed within the Sofa Market food hall, so after you stop by the bar, circle around to the other vendors for tacos, sushi, or poke." - Johanna Harlow
