Best Cocktail Bars Near San Jose and the South Bay | Eater SF

"Continuing the trend of time travel, Five Points nods to the gritty, chaotic, and notorious 19th-century New York neighborhood it’s named after. Above the entrance, a giant cleaver juts out from the building like a warning sign, and inside, the Prohibition-style decor is all dark wood and vintage portraits of folks who look like they’ve stirred up some trouble. The cocktails follow suit in keeping things intriguing. The Daybreaker cocktail proves smoky mezcal, hellfire tincture, and sweet blackberry jam somehow gel smartly. The menu’s always evolving, with seasonal specials that show Five Points never phones it in. Head to the back and you’ll find the moody and elegant Bowery Room, a bit more discreet for a low-key nightcap." - Laura Zhang

15 Bay Area Bars and Restaurants for Unexpected Flavors | Eater

"Five Points, named for the infamous neighborhood where Gangs of New York takes place, offers elevated bar food and flights of Scotch in a 19th-century brick-and-wrought-iron milieu. The spirits list is miles long and the original cocktails are truly inspired. But did we mention they have flights of Scotch?" - Gabriel Schicchi

I was here for a private event and had a nice experience. LOCATION This bar is conveniently located near San Pedro's square (SPS). You can park in the SPS parking lot which provides 90 minutes of parking for free and only $1 for each additional 15 minutes. It's a short 5 minutes walk from the parking lot to the bar. AMBIANCE I like the spaciousness and warm decorated vibes that this place gives. Noise level is reasonable. Their restrooms are also clean and tidy. SERVICES Our server was attentive and made me one of the best Amaretto Sour drinks. Overall, I enjoy this place. Though I haven't tried any of their food item yet, I heard good things about them from my friends who've been here before. I'll definitely consider Five Points next time.

The atmosphere was incredible, with a cool old-school vibe that made it feel unique. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and they made some fantastic drinks. I tried a couple of their signature cocktails, and both were delicious – balanced and flavorful. The live music on Monday night was a nice touch, adding to the overall experience. The bar was busy, but the service was quick, and the staff handled it well. I’ll definitely be back for more great drinks and a fun time.

Honestly the vibe here isn't too bad I would have definitely given this a higher rating but I mostly disappointed by the fact that they added a 10% gratituity to every single order done over the weekend. I I've never been to a bar that adds it automatically. In order to get the most out of it you would have to order multiple drinks so you don't keep going back and getting charged again another 10%. I think I will reframe from coming back here again there's a lot of good bars in the San Pedro area that don't even do that. if you're going to charge people a automatic 10% then Increase your prices a little bit on your actual menu so that way it seems more fair and you can provide a more livable wage for your employees.

We’ve visited Five Points twice now. Both times, I’ve enjoyed my cocktails, but the first time my husband wasn’t impressed with their old fashioned. This latest visit, however, was a turning point for him - he said the old fashioned was a little bit spicy in a way, which is unique and he really liked it. I think we’ll be adding this bar to our regular rotation

Cool bar with lots of seating. It has an old rustic vibe and on the night we visited there was live music which everyone was enjoying. Drink menu is standard with an in house cocktail menu that's special to the location. Good selection of wine as well. They could do with maybe one more server. Seemed a lot of one person to do but it was a Tuesday so perhaps a usually slow evening that was surprisingly busy.

Our favourite cocktail bar in San Jose; staff are legendary and make incredible drinks. Pull up a spot at the bar or out back and enjoy their menu

Bartender is rude. I didn't give tip and he got even more mad. Owners should take into consideration that tip is for good service not entitled agreement before I order drinks

I was looking for a restaurant with live music on a Monday night, I found five points, and I was thrilled. They had a live jazz/blues band that seemed to bring in different instrumentalist. It was so much fun to watch. I had the most delicious nacho fries. The drinks were really good, but had a lot of ice and they were playing the raider game on TV. My server was super nice and attentive. What an awesome night!

This bar is great on a Wednesday if you like to start tasting a variety of whiskeys. Some pretty good prices on half off Whiskey Wednesday! Come before 7 to take advantage of the happy hour menu. I recommend the chicken wings! Decent sized bar with a good amount of seating. Come early if you want to grab a table and street parking. Around the corner from San Pedro. Great staff. Our waitress was checking in frequently to make sure we were okay. Everybody was pretty chill here and friendly. I'd come back for Whiskey Wednesdays again! They also offer half off some drinks and select wine.

Came on a Monday night for their Jazz nights + drinks! Overall, I thought the jazz music and ambiance was fun, but small, and I was not impressed by the drinks. We ordered the old green eyes, green ray, and paloma. The drinks themselves tasted fine and as described in terms of flavor profiles. However, we all felt that our drinks seemed to have little to no alcohol in them; we couldn't taste any alcohol and didn't feel it at all. Jazz night was cute and starts at 9pm Mondays. I thought the place would get a bit more lively and fun, but it was chill (probably because it's a Monday). Service was quick and friendly. This is located at the edge of San Pedro Square, so you can walk around before/after getting drinks.

Great spot and in my opinion one of the best drinks in San Jose is served here. Bourbon Renewal, can't say enough good things about it. I've been around San Jose trying different spots but this drink has always been the best. They also have a speakeasy towards the back, haven't got to try it yet but heard it's a different menu with unique drinks. Believe only opened Friday & Saturday.

Five Points is a chic and lively bar with a spacious layout, extending from the entrance to the middle, between the bathrooms and outdoor patio. My girlfriend and I discovered Five Points during a nearby date night, and we had an outstanding experience. Special thanks to Ray, our bartender, who played a key role in making our first visit memorable by expertly guiding us through their extensive drink menu. He recommended the Green Ray and one of his personal favorites, the Bourbon Renewal, both of which were perfectly balanced and well. Overall, Five Points impressed us with its great service, fantastic drinks, and amazing atmosphere. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area.

I went to San Jose for the weekend my cousin and I wanted a good drink . I like a good craft cocktail and this is definitely the place for that . They have an amazing craft cocktail menu to choose from. We came on a Friday night so they had a dj playing so it felt more of a dive bar / 1920 bar . The ambience was on point. They have a big outside patio out back but since it was cold everyone was inside that day. All the mixologist were super friendly and attentive. I got a gin drink with egg white so delicious called Green Ray I also ordered the Bees Knees which was not on the menu but she knew exactly what drink I was talking about. My cousin ordered a Paloma all the drinks were 10/10 . They have a cool theme in the bathrooms also a little dark history lol it was entertaining reading about it . Overall this was a fun Friday night for us .

My favorite bar in Downtown SJ and the best spot for a Taco Tuesday! If you want a more chill sit and talk vibe come before 9! After 9 is usually when their DJ comes and the dance floor opens up! This place perfectly caters to both a great drink and some great music. On Tuesdays they have half off all tequila/mezcal and half off tacos! I'm a regular here and yesterday was my first time trying their tacos and I was pleasantly surprised! They have good happy hour deals for food and drinks too! Bar tenders are super nice, they have a speakeasy in the back, and the decor throughout the entirety of the building is on point! They also sell shirts of the bars name and logo on it if that's something you're interested in! Just need to ask a bartender and they can sell it to you! Definitely a spot I recommend to anyone that's in downtown for the first time!

Busy Memorial Day night scenario. Bartender mixologists making it happen. Unique drink menu leaned sweet for my tastes but tried Irish maid & ol green eyes. Band was great! Cycling musicians on jam band sessions. Fun place, will return on next Silicon Valley trip.

I have been here a couple times after having dinner around San Pedro Square. I love the vibe here, the decor, the menu, the drinks. They have really cool cocktails and cool mocktails for non-alcohol drinkers. I do miss one of the bartenders I used to see here, he did make some of the drinks, not sure if he's still around but I liked all the drinks he made us. Last time I went some of the drinks were not as good as before. Overall a cool little spot for drinks

Nice ambiance, the drinks were fun too but nothing incredible. They have jazz here on Mondays which is fun! Would definitely recommend checking it out if you're into jazz. The ambiance is nice and dimly lit which adds a little something extra in my opinion, service was friendly and fast as well and answered questions about their menu. Overall, would return, especially if you like jazz!

One of those places where you walk in and just know that the bar tenders actually know how to make drinks. I absolutely loved that some of their cocktails are printed in large lettering on the walls above the bar. This way you don't have to peer over a menu in dim lighting! Such a treat for my "I could be a cougar if I wanted to " eyes. We just stopped in for one drink but that was one memorable cocktail! The bourbon renewal was all things amazing, and will surely delight any bourbon and craft cocktail lover. Restrooms were clean and the bartenders were friendly enough.

Loved all the cocktails I tried here! Bartenders are great. They're very knowledgeable and can guide you on what drink to get based on your tastes and preferences. Ambiance is very nice, like an upscale bar/speakeasy. They also do private events - they hosted us for a cocktail making class a few years ago. Didn't try any food but definitely coming back!

Had Paloma's and burgers with fries.Burger and fries were very delicious. Cooked perfectly medium and it had the perfect amount of mayo, pickles and lettuce. Would def come back here for that (sorry no pic). Paloma's came very quickly. Seemed to be non-alcoholic. Confused about this and contemplated if we should bother to ask or complain. Waitress didn't come back because we closed the tab out. So we didn't. However, I really enjoyed the food. A but pricey especially since we were charged full price for drinks that didn't have any alcohol. The back room was very nice. Had more drinks that were made very nicely. Would recommend if you wanted more quiet space.

Step into this cool old saloon styled gem in downtown San Jose. The bartenders are true alchemists, concocting drinks that taste like liquid history with a modern twist. Most Friday nights the scene is combined with live tunes setting the mood. Plenty of seating, even a cool nook with couches at the front. Great collection of alcohol on the back wall and experienced bar tenders aim to please with whatever your tastebuds desire. Great place to stop for a quick drink on your night out. 4 out of 5 stars - just because I think they should have more restrooms for a bar this size.

First things first, we had a blast at this joint! The restaurant had this chill and welcoming vibe, like it was giving us a warm hug. The staff were like the best friends you never knew you had lol. They treated us good, or at least like really cool guests. Now, let's talk about the food. It was a flavor explosion in our mouths! We kicked things off with some nacho fries that were so crispy, they could have won a medal in crunchiness. And those yummy toppings? They were like the cherry on top of a delicious mountain of cheesy goodness. Then, the fish and chips came along, and we were in seafood heaven. The fish had this crispy coating that was like a golden armor, protecting the tender and juicy treasure inside. And to wash it all down, I went for a diet coke while my better half sipped on a refreshing Aperol Spritz. Let the good times roll! Now, I must confess, I took a detour down the chicken wing lane. They were seasoned to perfection and had this satisfying crunch that made my taste buds do a happy dance. But alas, the next day was not so pleasant for me. Let's just say my stomach had a bit of a meltdown, and I found myself in a not-so-fun dance with stomach cramps and, well, you know... Let's just say I spent some quality time on the porcelain throne. But hey, let's not let my, uh, explosive experience overshadow the fact that this restaurant is still worth checking out. The food is seriously amazing, and the atmosphere. Just maybe keep an emergency bathroom plan in mind, just in case. Trust me, it's better to be prepared than caught off guard. So go ahead, give it go, just take Pepto-Bismol before you eat joke, and enjoy some mouthwatering goodness. And maybe, just maybe, your digestive system will thank you more than mine did. Cheers!

The drinks are always the high point. For the volume and quality it can't be beat. I love the Dj's from Thursday- Sunday. Definitely a must stop if you are in downtown San Jose. Never tried the food so I can't speak on that but I have to one of these days.

Cool little place in downtown San Jose. We just walked in for a quick drink. Very cool vibe and bartender , she was super friendly and helpful for the beer selection. Didn't see any pool table or other stuff but for sure a casual place with good toons playing. Will for sure try this place one night when it is full. Expect it brings a chill crowd Didn't try food but the menu looked good

Five Points is still my favorite bar. It's in a convenient location, if I wanted to just drop by for a couple drinks, it's right in San Pedro square so there's parking all over. I think they specialize in gin cocktails (they serve so many kinds which fuels my assumption), and my favorite is The Green Ray. Smooth, fresh, and dangerous - honestly can't tell there's alcohol in this one. Their bar food isn't bad either, we tried their coconut shrimp, wings, and nacho fries. All to start off the night. Notable - they also have DJs on certain nights and a designated area if you wanted to get down. You can also rent private space if you're looking to host an event or party!

Jack C.

Yelp
Really loved this bar. Visited during happy hour and had some really good cocktails, loving the Bowery Boy drink in particular. Tasty coconut shrimp. Great service. And a very cool speakeasy look and feel to the decor. I'm a bit biased because I was born and raised in the Five Points of NYC, so the history that this bar represents got me interested from first hearing its name. And it did not disappoint.

They always get me with their music!! They also have great cocktails. DJ booth at the front. When it gets crowded, it gets CROWDED. They also have a back patio that's nice and open and has music you can listen to as well but not too loud. There's a dance floor if you're feeling the vibe. Long bar area if you wanna sit/stand and jive while you place an order. Definitely recommend checking this place out in Downtown SJ if you like music and drinks.

This is probably one of my lowkey favorite bars in downtown SJ. First of all they have live music, I think on multiple nights, which is always a win. The DJ's have always been pretty good. Solid playlists, current and older hits, and they let the songs play out a bit rather than ruining the vibe by switching the track every 30 secs. It is always a legit cocktail bar. They've got some drink menu staples and then a seasonal rotation that will fit the vibe for the weather outside. There is a dance floor in the front, chill event space in the back and a patio even further in the back. The bartenders are good and make these delicious cocktails in good time. Security is friendly and the danger dogs are usually ready and waiting for you upon leaving. I've never been there early enough for food but I'm looking forward to making a happy hour if I'm not completely buried at work. Food review to come soon.

Went here on St. Patrick's day and the surrounding San Pedro Square area was full of people and celebration. Got here before 6pm so we didn't have to pay cover, and surprisingly it wasn't very crowded. The inside decor and bar menu on the back had a nice touch to it and the drinks were festive and great. A bit on the pricy-side ($18) but hey it's a holiday so it is what it is. The back patio was a nice little escape from when the music and noise inside got a bit too loud. Unfortunately they weren't serving any food which was a bummer so ended up only getting drinks.

St. Patricks Day, Five Points heavily regulated their entrance. I came to know the consequences of this as someone just walking by on the sidewalk. On St. Patricks Day, Five Points rejected two females from entering the Bar. These two females started to fight after this in front of the bar, causing a large crowd to form and trapping many people who were walking by in the crowd. I was one of those people. The girls fought as even security was just watching. Being trapped there, one girl drove her shoulder into the other and they both fell onto the heavy wooden Five Points street sign that I was standing next to. When they did this, they collapsed on top of me, crushing my leg under both their weight and the weight of the Five Points sign as they continued to fight. I couldn't walk after this, but security was quick enough to deny liability. The girls simply walked away and continued their night, going bar to bar. I was stuck trying to get to the ER, trapped downtown, struggling with walking. I'm still dealing with the injury over a week later.

Beer was good and quick but food never came! Others were complaining about their wait time too The place is nice and personal were friendly but very disorganized. They' noticed our beer was about run out and came to ask if we wanted a second round. We asked for the food but they had no record of the order so we had to cancel and go to a different place. The place is so nice so they need to do something to reinvent. I've been to restaurants where there's only 2 people running the bar and taking care of twice the amount of costumers while chatting and having fun.

Came in around 945 on a Saturday night. The bouncer was really friendly! Was able to walk in and find a table. Ordered a couple of drinks and some nacho fries and they were here very quickly. They are the best fries I have had in a very long time. The staff was friendly. Great for night life. Would love to come back.

Came for a HS reunion in the outside patio area. We had our own server and she was great - remembered everyone's drink orders. It was buffet style food and it was pretty tasty. The drinks were really good. They even made a signature drink for the school. I really enjoyed the fries - it goes perfect with alcohol and the best thing to share.

Five Points was one of the first bars I ever visited in San Pedro Square, and still my go-to! If you come early(ish) or on a weeknight, the atmosphere is pretty laid back (great for a date). They have a beautiful bar and an extensive cocktail menu, and the staff is always ready to make recommendations if you're stuck on what to order. For drinks, my personal favorite is the Eastman (fruity and well balanced) and The Bee's Knees (a little sweeter but delicious). On weekends (later in the night), they usually have a DJ, which is a great time. I love the music here and it's surprisingly a good place for dancing. At 9PM on Fridays and Saturdays (unless there's a private event), they open the Bowery Room, which is a little speakeasy-style room with its own bar, and beautiful decor (including custom wallpaper with hidden animals). There's limited seating inside, so I recommend showing up right at 9 to snag a table. Five Points also has a cute outdoor seating area in the back. The only reason this review isn't a 5 star is because of the food. On Friday evening, we ordered the Chicken Wings and Five Points Burger, and both were a bit disappointing. But with lots of great restaurants nearby, I recommend grabbing food elsewhere and coming to Five Points for the drinks. I know I'll be back soon!

Happy hour Monday - Friday, holidays included! Live music Mondays! My favorite cocktail bar in San Jose! The bartender can make a mean cocktail based on your preferences. I personally don't like sweet drinks so I rely on the bartenders' knowledge and their recommendations. They recommended the Green Ray and it's so refreshing! Good vibes and even better drinks! Would recommend!

A must come to in Downtown San Jose. If I could give this place a six-star, I would! Their seasonal cocktails and spiked coffee drinks are delicious! ***What we ordered **NITRO COLD BREW MARTINI ~ 10000/10 If they had this virgin, I would drink it every day, but cold brew coffee martini is AMAZING. It's made with house-made New Orleans-style cold brew, vodka, vanilla, and fernet branca menta cream. It was the perfect amount of sweet, and the froth on top of the martini brings everything together! **Baltimore Gun Club ~ 10000/10 If you like hot chocolate, you will 100% love this cocktail. It is served hot, and it's one of the best spiked hot chocolate cocktails I've had in my entire life. It was the perfect amount of creamy and sweetness! Also, since it is served hot, it will warm you up immediately! Overall, You need to try this place. The cocktails are unique, they have a relaxing ambiance, and our server Victoria was super sweet. I will be back soon to try something different!!

My first cocktail review Had a Saturday night out with friends and the local friend introduced us this great sit down bar! Environment: there were cool decorations in the bar. It's a great environment for a group of friends hang out, grab a drink or go on a date Drink: I ordered OFF ON A COMET. It's a strawberry infused drink. It's really good! I really like fruit flavor drink and the waitress recommended a perfect one for me. My friend ordered BALTIMORE GUN CLUB. It's delicious. I never had a cocktail that's served hot! It's such a fun experience and good drink. Parking: there's a parking garage very close by, I think we parked about 3 hours it costs ~$9 I also think they change drink menu frequently, which make it more fun to come back more often!

We had a holiday party here and I don't think they are actually equipped for parties. I've been here before on my own and the bar portion is nice. But they don't have parties/events figured out yet. Hopefully they can get it together at some point. But they certainly aren't ready now. The food was very good. We had a buffet style appetizers and I think that's the only thing they did really well. The bartender was nice and the drinks she made were good. The people bringing out drinks were not friendly or attentive. They actually acted really annoyed at us for being there. The setup was not well organized. They had 4 long tables squished together. Once you sat down, you were stuck. So most people stood. And then we were in the way of all the annoyed people bringing out drinks. We didn't even have all the people who rsvp'ed there so it was not the right place for our numbers. The rest of the bar was pretty empty. And they only had one bartender making drinks for our entire party. So people didn't get served promptly or at all. Some of us ordered drinks and 90 min later, had no drink. We all went to other places after the party. If they had been more hospitable, I'm sure we would've stayed and hung out on our own tab. But it didn't feel welcoming so we moved on. I would NOT recommend them for parties unless they improve their entire system. For a drink with a couple people, this place would be fine.

We wanted to enjoy a drink at San Pedro square in peace, and in a great environment. We stumbled across five points, and we were immediately greeted, and we went inside. Server immediately gave us a menu, and took our order. The cocktails were amazing!!!! Fast service. Aim on fire or whatever you call it was straight GASOLINE!!! It will get the job done. Check them out, and give them a shot.

Went here with some coworkers after a long day of work. We weren't from here and lived 1 hour in a half away from SJ. When it comes to food or drinks and having a great time, traveling is not a problem. We've been here about three times and absolutely love this place. It's usually busy but the drinks are absolutely worth it. We love the DJ's taste in music, especially on weekends & the bouncers/security guards are always so nice and welcoming. The aesthetics was well-put together and honestly kudos to the bartenders, the drinks are always amazing :-)

Came on a Thursday..and it was not slow at.all! They were featuring the musical talents of The Francis Experience Quartet. We arrived at around 7PM and there were people whom have already filled all the seats at the bar. Luckily my group got there a little early and scored us a couple tables. Not very many tables of 4 so if you need a table then do get there early. This place is right off Santa Clara. So park in any of the parking lots or the large garage over at San Pedro Square market because it is pretty centrally located. Almost as soon as we found our party a server was almost immediately standing at our table ready to take our order. I had a mojito and my husband was disappointed they neither served Corona, Modelo or Blue Moon (his typical go to's). But the server was quick to recommend one of their popular beers "Flyway Pils". Which he was pretty content with. My mojito was delicious. Although there was another couple of drinks I want to try next time...1. Cucumber mule; and 2. Tia Mia (I think) it was served in a cantarito..it was too cute. Not only was I there with a great group but entertainment was on point, lively and had the whole house giggin. Drinks were delicious, servers attentive and over all just a great vibe and a reminder that we are coming out of this pandemic and things will be good again one day. I am hopeful.

Overpriced drinks, rude bartenders and bouncers. I tried to order a shot of tequila and the bartender was too lazy to go look for it so she just rudely told me it wasn't available. I thought this was supposed to be one of the classier and more upscale bars but it's quickly morphed into the same terrible downtown dump that so many other bars have turned into. After about 45 minutes of hanging out at the bar, I was surrounded by three out of shape bouncers who accused me of "harassment". When I asked the lead bouncer with a mop head haircut, he couldn't explain what the harassment was. Considering I never even talked to anyone other than the bartender to order my drinks, it was a pretty ridiculous allegation. I just got up and left after that. I was spending good money here too but I won't be back and I won't be recommending this place to anyone in the future as well.

I really was hoping this bar would live up to all it's reviews but sadly it didn't. Both my drinks had me questioning why I had picked this place. The Daybreaker was a mix of mezcal and blackberry jam, definitely wouldn't recommend this. Also, the glass was super sticky. Next I decided to try a Paloma, pretty simple but I couldn't tell if the juice in it was grapefruit or orange juice.

Sunday nights hit different. It's so empty but still so loud. We sat at the bar and were immediately given menus to look over. They were quick to take our orders too and so friendly. We ordered plomas and they tasted like grapefruit so it was delicious. Pricey but what can yo I expect from a bar?

Came here to start the night off at 9pm on Saturday because there was no line. Found a seat in the backroom and it was a nice hang out spot for a group of 2-4. Ordering drinks was super messy because there was a bartender swap halfway through lol. My spirit forward drinks were.... actually not spirit forward. And then a drink that was supposed to be more refreshing was more spirit forward. Drinks: 5/10 Vibes: 7/10 Service: 5/10 Value: 5/10

Perfect spot for some after work drinks in DTSJ. The bartenders were super attentive and the drinks/fries were good! We were super surprised to see that they offered happy hour deals on Fridays as well which is awesome!! Overall nothing to complain about! Not the most fancy cocktails around but they were tasty and strong which was great!

I met a friend here for dinner recently and we had a really nice meal. We sat on the back patio which has some nice tables and sitting areas. Its protected by buildings all around so its quiet. It was a bit windy at times but overall it was nice outside. I think this place is owned by the same people who do the Farmers Union and they share a kitchen. I had the GRILLED FARMERS MARKET VEGGIE PLATE - mushroom, corn, zucchini, red onion, avocado, asparagus, carrot, olive oil, maldon sea salt, lemon, with shrimp added. This was so tasty and healthy at the same time. Lots of great grilled veggies. Shrimp were nicely grilled as well. I think my friend had the UNION MARKET salad - chicken, tomato, dates, avocado, corn, almonds, goat cheese, croutons, basil vinaigrette. This is exactly like the one at Farmers Union. She also got a side of biscuits. She really enjoyed her meal. We also started with some fries that were tasty. They got a bit soggy as they sat but overall they were good. Also, it was happy hour so I had a nice well vodka soda and my friend had some sort of strawberry slushy drink she really liked. Overall a nice meal. And looks like a good bar to hang out at too.
