12 Best Cocktail Bars Around San Jose and the South Bay - Eater SF

"The Palms is a not-so-hidden gem in the middle of downtown Los Gatos. To find it, simply walk along the boutique shops and restaurants of the main drag until you spy the stately 1891 Queen Anne Victorian with the sprawling yard and sizeable porch.  This location really shines on summer nights when tables of diners spill across the lawn for an al fresco evening under the twinkling lights. Since this is a Pacific Rim-inspired restaurant, try a tropical drink like the “Forget Mary Ann, Where’s Ginger,” a Bulleit bourbon, ginger, and citrus cocktail named after two stranded characters on the Gilligan’s Island show of the 60s." - Johanna Harlow
