55 - Fifty Five South

If you are looking for a place to relax after a long day (or week) and want a variety of drinks, liquors, plus good service & quality food (outside the typical bar food/snacks), This should be one of your first options. You will return to this place with a menu of simple (but delicious and refreshing) drinks, a decent selection of beers on tap, and good music.

Nice cocktails ( I wish they looked more appealing), limited food menu, mostly appetizers, but they were good. Service not very attentive. Overall an ok bar

5-stars for the drinks, service, and ambiance early (7-8pm) Friday. Variety of milk punches the crafter made - our bartender, who was even cuter without a mask (a-yo) even gave us a taster of one since he hadn't tried it before. It felt like hanging with a friend behind the bars while my friend and I were joking about how this would be an amazing place for my post-wedding shananigans (not nearly close but a wonderful thought and planning!). I asked if they made cocktails to go (always always always ask) and they actually packed us a little bottle! Of course, they asked if we were going home right after and even initiated to put cubes of ice, which we declined since we would be saving it for another day. Will be back early again and looking forward to the rotating menu to keep things fresh!

One of my favorite places for drinks in San Jose, California. They also have amazing Mac&Cheese if you need a snack with your drinks.

Great cocktail bar and awesome bartenders. We discovered this place after being mildly disappointed by the cocktails at a bar across the street and stumbling over in search of a better drink. Highly recommend this place, especially if you like booze forward cocktails. Ask Scotty for a Purgatory. 😊

Why is this place so popular? The drinks were a huge miss. One bramble I ordered was so incredibly sour while the other bramble was fine. I always order a milk punch when I see it and this one was definitely quite plain. It gets so crowded inside people are shoving left and right. The staff wouldn't let us go outside either even though there was a table open. For $16 a pop, and for the line that accompanies this place, I would say skip it during ur bar crawls. Drinks: 4/10 Vibes: 4/10 Service: 4/10 Value: 3/10

We went on a Saturday night after dinner. There was a wait for a table outside (we could have gone inside, tables were first come first served). The cocktails were fun and packed a punch! They had a variety of options for sweet/fruity or spirit forward. The drinks were $15 each. The cobbler dessert was delicious. Seriously, so so good. Warm and gooey and delicious.

The food was delicious. We ordered the ribs, stuffed avocado, edamame salad, Mac and cheese, tacos, and the cream cheese bread. I didn't care for the salad, but my sister loved it. My sister didn't care for the ribs because of the apple cider vinegar, I couldn't tell. But everything else we both love. We had the Rosalinda, and Irish maid. The Irish maid was our favorite. So delicious. The restaurant was very clean. The only thing that bothered me was our waiters were standing around chit chatting, and didn't bother to check in on us after we got our food. We waited, both finished our food and drinks, kept trying to make eye contact, finally the bartender asked them to check in on us. We ordered another drink and decided to leave. We appreciate the bartender being so attentive. If we go again we'll definitely sit at the bar. If the service was better, I would give 5 stars. Will update if my next experience is better. The food was very affordable too, which was a plus. We ordered 6 dishes and 4 drinks, came to 23.
