Best Cocktail Bars Near San Jose and the South Bay | Eater SF
"“Are you really from San Jose if you haven’t met up with a Hinge date from Paper Plane?” That’s one of the posts you’ll spot on Paper Plane’s Instagram grid – and honestly, it tracks. Date or no date, this downtown San Jose staple has been impressing people for over a decade, whether it’s a lively Friday happy hour or a late-night Saturday hang. The softly glowing bar display is a stunner, and the cocktails are just as clever as they are good-looking. Expect cheekily-named punches on draft, like Don’t Tell Mom Punch, with orange curaçao, black tea, and nutmeg; and summer-ready sips like Summer ‘93, a citrusy gin cocktail topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream." - Laura Zhang
