SP2 Communal Bar + Restaurant

We were barhopping in San Jose and happened to come across SP2 Communal Bar + Restaurant, so we decided to walk in—and I’m glad we did. The place was nicely decorated with Christmas decorations, giving it a really festive and welcoming vibe. They also had some cool holiday drinks, especially one that came in a National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation eggnog moose cup, which was awesome and nostalgic. Another drink came in a fun lightbulb-shaped cup, which was a nice touch. Overall, it’s definitely a great spot to check out, and the drinks were pretty good too. Would for sure stop by again. 🍹🎄

One of the worst bar experiences I’ve had. The service was disorganized and blatantly unfair from the moment we arrived. My friends and I came at 12am, yet our group had already paid for and secured a table. we were repeatedly told the venue was “at capacity” while staff continued letting other people walk in. It became very obvious that certain guests were being allowed entry simply by slipping cash to the bouncers, which is extremely unprofessional and raises serious concerns about integrity and safety. Having a reservation clearly meant nothing here. Instead of honoring paying customers, the staff prioritized under-the-table payments and favoritism. After I called out one bouncer for letting in 3 tall white males in after slipping him money, he tried to say they were already in the bar before and asked why I was “yelling” at him, when I was confused on why he let the males in when they came at the same time as us and clearly didn’t have previous stamps. & claimed that he “wasn’t in charge of tables” so he couldn’t do anything. The atmosphere is chaotic, poorly managed, and dishonest. I would not return, and I would caution others not to waste their money if they expect fair treatment or basic professionalism. The bouncers that need to be reevaluated is the Asian one with the white hair streak, and the African American male, stocky build with locs.

Don't bother to go here! Our brunch experience was horrible. Where do I start! We were given dinner menu first despite confirming about the menu. Service is super slow, our orders weren't taken for the longest time. The waitress forgot to get our mains. Food lacked seasoning and tasted bland. I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone.

Amazing experience. We were walking around and passed by this place. Unfortunately, they were not open at this time, but we came back during opening hours. So glad we came back because we would’ve spent the entire night here. It was fantastic. The stimulating conversation from Link, Don and Lex with their input on what to see and what to visit while in San Jose was phenomenal. Will 100%… no will 110% come back here. The food superb, the drinks phenomenal and the atmosphere perfection. Highly recommend.

Food was okay. I'm disappointed in the quality. I used to come here nearly every week. The oysters were flavorless. The ribs... What happened?!? I used to order 2-3 servings if these to take home. The pork belly was disappointing. The burrata and beet salad were the best part. Chicken wings were cooked perfectly. I enjoyed the smokey chili rub. The worst part? It took HALF AN HOUR to get the bill. I wish I were exaggerating. Never again.

Consider this place more of a bar than a restaurant. Place was simple but cute. Had an open floor concept to it. Food: it was okay. Not the best, but it wasn’t the worst. Cocktails were well made. They delivered what and how they needed to deliver! 🙃 Service: Super friendly staff! However, cleaning the kitchen (spraying, wiping, brooming, mopping, etc) while still cooking food orders cannot be sanitary!!!! 🫠 Ambience: DJ was on point! Definitely would go back on a late spring or summer day/night just for cocktails. Parking: available either in nearby structures or meter street parking.

Came here on a Sunday and thought that it was not only a spacious open and welcoming place but had amazing options. Taking Mexican dishes and giving them an American twist with the same elevated flavors. Ordered the morning pizza and the chilaquiles with Mole sauce and it was delicious. My friend and I shared both dishes, that are large and very reasonably priced. Definitely enjoyed the ambiance, reasonably price and portions sizes. Will definitely recommend to a friend. Also a champagne bottle for $30 is not a bad deal whatsoever, left toasty and full.

Came here for a quick brunch bite and was SHOCKED at how good the food was. Fried chicken wasn't heavy—just the right oil temp. And the slaw wasn't drenched in mayo, just a nice clean dressing to accompany crispy potatoes and ribs. I'll definitely be back.

This is such a great location--the aesthetic is great with a very cute inside area and massive outside area too. The food and drinks were all delicious. The oysters came with hot sauce without asking which I appreciate, and the fries were so crispy!! Coleson was our host and server and did a great job with his customer service. He was very friendly and had a great attitude and checked on us often. We enjoyed coming here and will be back!

I was looking for a close by bar to go to before a game at the SAP center and found SP2 within walking distance. I arrived right as they opened up and was greeted fast by the bartender and served my drink fast. Two drinks came out to $50 with tip so it's pretty overly expensive. For the environment, there's no place to have an actual conversation. The music was blaring from every corner. Maybe I'm just not the right clientele but I would not come back due to the pricing and music level.

went here for dinner before going to miniboss for a few drinks. my group of three decided on getting 4 appetizers to share amongst each other. st louis style short ribs (soy ginger glaze) - very meaty but a tad on the salty side fried brussels sprouts - very delicious, i was surprised calamari - decent calamari, not the best chicken wings - fish sauce - it was ok, this too was on the salty side menu is pretty limited which i was surprised about. the menu does not match up with the menu on their site. i always look at the menu beforehand to know what i want ... but nothing on the site was available at the restaurant. very disappointing. had i known, i probably would not have come.

Came on a Friday night around 7 with a group of friends for dinner and drinks. We had a reservation but didn't really need it and were seated quickly. Our waitress was really nice and took our order pretty soon after we were seated. I shared the calamari pizza which was an unexpected favorite! It had vodka sauce and cheese with calamari on top and I would definitely order it again. Not something I would have thought would be as good as it was but I'd highly recommend it. Other things ordered at our table were the kaarage chicken sandwich, some French fries, Brussels sprouts, and another pizza (Hobbs maybe?). Everything was really delicious !

SP2 is tucked away on the back side of San Pedro Square. Parking is easy in the garage a block away. We came here for a Sunday afternoon brunch. It wasn't crowded at all. Positives: We were greeted by the host who sat us at a table where I could see into the kitchen (I love watching the cooks, so I was in my happy place). We were served 2 little mini-muffins immediately, which was a nice way to start our experience. The food: we had the Garlic-Rosemary Tri-Tip Sandwich. It came with pickled vegetables, chili aioli, caramelized onions, and muenster cheese. The bread was crunchy, and the combination of flavors from the pickled veg, cheese, and aoli with the beef made this sandwich a winner. It came with well-salted fries. We also tried the Pork Belly Breakfast Sandwich: a colossal English muffin, hoisin-glazed pork belly, baked egg (a whopping 3 eggs...this sandwich was huge), white cheddar, pickled veggies, chili aioli, and home fries. The sandwich was substantial, and the hoisin glaze gave the pork belly a nice sweet & salty flavor. The service here was great. Negatives: The home fries that came with the Breakfast Sandwich were a bit bland and could have benefited from more seasoning. Atmosphere: My only critique was that the music was rather loud both inside and outside, which for us was slightly annoying as we were trying to have a conversation. Just a notch or two lower would have been great. Overall, I would come back again. I'm eying the Fried Chicken with hot honey. That's on my list for next time.

Right downtown, it's such a cute place. There's a parking garage behind it, or you can find street parking. It's right next to the San Pedro Square Market. It has such a cute vibe. Outdoor seating and a bar outside as well. We got there when they opened for brunch so it was pretty empty. Nice and spacious inside. Plenty of bar seating too. The bathrooms were pretty clean, although I found it weird that the mens bathroom was wide open and I could see the urinals as I came out of the bathroom. Don't really want to see someones ass on my way back to my table. Maybe it was just because it was too early that they had the door open. Who knows. The plates are way bigger than I thought they'd be. I loved the mini muffins they gave us when we got their. The michelada was good! Service was good. I think I'll come back to try their dinners.

I've been here many times. When trying to get in, I was belittled to "disgusting" by a security guard. Mind you, the other three were able to politely tell me that they were not letting anyone else in.

Came to SP2 Communal for a Love Island watch party night, and it was awesome! The bar was themed to Love Island, with flamingo floaties and a backdrop. The Margherita Focaccia was absolutely delicious, and the bartender killed it on the service, even with such a busy night

Huge shoutout to Esteban at SP2 for taking such great care of us during our night out! We had bottle service with a group of girls, and he went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, safe, and having a great time. He was super professional, attentive without being overbearing, and kept an eye out for our group the whole night, which we really appreciated. It's rare to find someone who genuinely looks out for guests like that. Esteban made the whole experience even better, and we'll definitely be coming back because of him! Thank you, Esteban , you're the best!

seated outside, waiter was super nice! we brought our two dogs & everyone wanted to give us water LOL ribs - 7/10 not bad, I liked the butt ton of cilantro bc I love cilantro lol; some of the parts had bits of bone (I guess it wasn't cut very cleanly?) cole slaw didn't have sauce so it was just dry veggies & I wasn't really into it waffle - 5/10 texture of this was really strange to me - supposed to be a waffle but only the verrrrrry edges were slightly crispy & everything else was like waffle shaped wet bread? it wasn't bad, but just definitely not was I was expecting at all. raspberry syrup seemed strange so I didn't try it at all, butter was orangey and not in a consistency I would expect butter to be like (was kinda like cake frosting? but it wasn't light like whipped butter) green dragon - 6/10 tasted like candy juice morning lotus - 9.5/10 I have no idea what they made the frozen milk foam out of but it was soooo good lol I kept licking it like a weirdo until it all melted off the ice cube & we mixed it into the drink itself (which, btw, was good both. before and after the milk foam was incorporated) future affairs - 6/10 more candy juice - yknow those lil teeny jellos you get in a big clear plastic jug from the Asian grocery stores? it literally tasted like they opened a billion of the lychee jellos, took out the jello juice, and dumped it in here LOL it was good but just super sweet for me

Positives - Really good pizza, tasty tri-tip sandwich. Negatives - Avoid the double quarter pounder. The wagyu looked like it came out of a frozen package. Asked for a different cheese other than the cheddar. Burger arrived with no cheese. Fries were warm at best. Overall meh experience on a slow night.

We really enjoyed our experience here. Nice big spacious place with a fun bar. The staff were very nice. The food came relatively quick and tasted good.

Food was yum and delish. Wished there was more vegetarian options to add this restaurant into my frequency list, but they have enough options to not make a vegetarian alienated by offering only a salad. The cocktails were on point and service was good.

BEST BRUNCH IN SAN JOSE! This is a hidden gem. Their Sunday brunch is out of this world. Everything is great - from the potatoes to the pork belly breakfast sandwich to the parfait. The best by far is the waffle so insane. Ignore the 1 star reviews for the bar door people and come get your brunch on.

Our group had an amazing time at SP2! We've hosted a private evening dinner for some of our top clients following the first day of a nearby conference, and everything exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely top-notch, and the staff was friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the event. They were flexible with our budget and schedule, making the entire planning process easy and stress-free. All in all, it's the perfect spot to host a private event--highly recommend!

As someone who is gender fluid but femme presenting, I went to try and use the "men's" restroom as the line was much shorter and one of the employees said it "wasnt allowed" for me and my friend to use the bathroom and said they would get in trouble with his job if he let us do that. This is concerning for Trans and nonbinary people if the staff is assuming which bathroom people should be using and there are apparently repercussions for it? There should be a gender neutral bathroom if this is such a problem for SP2. The music and drinks there are great so this was disappointing.

I came in not expecting too much but was pleasantly surprised from the start the moment I walked in someone greeted me with a friendly tone and showed me to a seat and right away it just felt chill and welcoming the place wasnt too loud or busy so it was easy to relax and take it all in and I have to say the food was honestly better than I thought it would be each item I tried had this homemade kind of flavor like they actually took their time in the kitchen and the way the flavors came together was just spot on nothing too fancy but really well done you can tell they take pride in what they serve and even when I had a little question about one of the dishes the staff were happy to explain it without acting annoyed which says a lot about how they treat customers overall a solid experience that I would definitely repeat.

So, I came here for my birthday with a group of 10 for my birthday on a Sunday. I enjoy their live music and the ambiance. My party had food next door at San Pedro Market so I brought my Stanley to stay hydrated. My Stanley contained water with ice since San Jose was experiencing another heat wave in July. Upon entering SP2, they shared you are not able to bring my Stanley inside and to leave it in the front. I did. Spent tons of money on drinks. I am sure my large party brought lots of business with all the drink orders. I was having so much fun! The band was great (sorry, I wish I could remember their name) and they kept me dancing. I totally forgot about my Stanley! Forgive me! It was my bday after all :). The next day, I called. Left a voice message. I even reached out to SP2 via Instagram so I can pick up my Stanley. No response. I actually left a few voicemails, showed up at SP2 (during closing time so maybe the timing was off) and communicated with someone via Instagram that they would look for it. The person on Instagram would never follow up after my messaged. I would send another reply message and say, "did you find it?". I am not sure if they ever found it, never looked of it, still have it or it is now officially stolen?!?!?! My Stanley is tan (sand color) with a Wharf to Wharf sticker on it! RIP Stanley. SP2 saves all the water bottles for their underground Stanley market LOL. I really tried to redeem it but SP2 was not cooperative.

I came here for happy hour on a weekday and was pleasantly surprised! At 4pm there wasn't much of a crowd there so we were able be seated immediately. We got the ribs, brussel sprouts, and ahi tuna. The ribs and brussel sprouts were 10/10 great presentation and quality for it being a HH item. The ahi tuna was okay, it was a tad bit fishy and not something I'd order again.

*Edit: Lowering -2 stars since our server told us all starters were part of HH discount of -$3 off, but upon checking the receipt -- the burrata and soup were charged at full price. Misleading info. Happy Hour runs 4-6p Wed-Fri. We came on a Wed around 5:45p and it was not busy at all. Bites, Starters, Craft Beer on tap, and House Cocktails were all discounted at $3 off. BITES: Oysters on the Half Shell $29.00 (1 dozen = $2.42 / oyster) kumquat-yuzu mignonette -- very fresh. Brussels Sprouts $11.00 crispy bacon, calabrian chili aioli, agave, candied fresno chili, parmigiano reggiano -- I found this dish too sweet / doused in too much oil and sauce, but my friend really liked it. We both liked the way it was cooked; crispy on the edges but tender enough in the center so it wasn't like trying to bite through rocks like at Eureka! lol St. Louis Style Spare Ribs $11.00 (1/2 rack) soy-ginger bbq glaze, cabbage slaw -- Best value on the HH menu, so much food on a full dinner plate! Flavor was great. Arancini Verde $9.00 sun gold tomato, cherry tomato vierge, gouda, mozzarella, parmigiano reggiano, manchego -- Great HH dish, crispy on the outside while soft and savory on the inside without being too salty. The vierge was heavenly! STARTERS: French Onion Soup $6.00 beef demi glacé, brandy, emmental cheese -- We both found this soup WAY too salty. It was a huge glob of cheesey bready mass floating in piping hot soup, and we had to take it out the mass of fat + soaked carbs to cut it w/ fork and knife in order to eat it lol! Would not order this one again. Burrata with Olive Bagna Cauda $12.00 castelvetrano olives, garlic, yuzu -- loved the olives, the cheese was good but basic. nice to have if you have a craving, but pretty easily recreated at home for less without much culinary skills or effort involved. Non-HH Dinner: Wood-fired Pizza - The VIP $25.00 tomato, salametto piccante, 26-month aged gouda, manchego semicurado, grana padano, black truffle honey -- thin and soft center, interesting combo of flavors. Will try the Mushroom Bianca for a white pie next time. MAINS: Prince Edwards Island Mussels $24.00 house sausage, allium, white wine, cream napa valley batard -- This was my favorite dish. The broth was so creamy and flavorful, and the mussels were fully cooked without being overdone. I brought leftovers home, put in fridge and lopped off the fat from top to reheat over the stove later with added bone broth for a lighter version for seconds. Flavors still beautiful even next day! HH DRINKS: HOUSE COCKTAIL The Huggy Bear $13.00 rittenhouse rye, pear purée, brown sugar syrup, walnut bitters -- just ok, kinda watered down. handcrafted by our talented SP2 Bar Team BEER Off Dry Cider - Traditional / Apfelwein $6.00 5.8% ABV * N/A IBU * Stem Ciders -- Good, solid cider. Service: We were seated at Table 63, perhaps bc wait staff has backs facing us at the central console stand, it was sometimes hard to flag down service but otherwise really kind and prompt. Enjoyed the value and variety of flavors, would visit again for Happy Hour!

We came across SP2 during the block party last week. San Pedro Square Market was PACKED and we were lucky to have beat the crowds when we got to SP2. Great place for drinks and food! We were seated fairly quickly and the hostess even asked us if we wanted a water bowl for our friend's dog :) What was ordered: + Oysters - I was a little hesitant to order the oysters but they were great! They tasted fresh and came with two different types of sauces. + Pepperoni pizza - I wouldn't say this is a must order but it wasn't bad. The flavor was good but I felt the pizza could have been baked longer. The pieces were very soggy and the cheese would fall right off if you picked it up at an angle. + Lemon hummus - This was very unique and I enjoyed it! They gave ample pita bread and a large serving size of hummus to share. The pickled onions onions on top were really unique and gave the dish a bit of a nice crunch. I think there were some eggplant pieces in there too, which I skipped. + Pork belly buns - LOVED! I was surprised at how much I liked these because sometimes these can be a hit or miss. The bun was prepared well and wasn't soggy or coming apart. The pork belly pieces were glazed with a delicious sauce and came together really well. + Summertime magic - Highly recommend! I was torn between this and another drink and our waitress recommended this one and she was right! It was very similar to a Paloma with a hint of fruit to it. + Tri tip sandwich - The tri tip was really good but it was a bit too much for me as a sandwich. + Risotto - I didn't personally try this but our friends said it was delicious. The salmon that they added looked like it was cooked well, not too dry. + Puppy patty - I can't tell you what it tasted like but the dog sure enjoyed it! Instead of it coming out as one patty, they had it broken up into a few pieces to make it easier for the dog to eat. All in all, it's a great place to come with your friends and dog(s) to hang out! The service did get a bit slower towards the end of our meal but the place was starting to get packed so I can see why they were more scattered.

Went here on a weekend night for the first time the bartenders on the outside were nice and so was security music was great my review is for the bartenders that were attending inside I waited for my turn to order a drink when a woman came in front of me and I let the bartender know I was first only for him to look at me and then completely ignore me, so I decided to go to the other side. When I ordered two drinks on the menu the bartender seemed so confused and brought us two wrong drinks I let him know again which one and he still charged us for an extra drink.

Been here a couple of times, most of the time it's for a couple of drinks. It gets pretty busy Friday and Saturday nights, but I feel that it's typical. I didn't even realize they had a food menu! Haven't tried any of the foods, but maybe next time. There's both indoor and outdoor seating options, the outdoor is better for larger groups especially if you're just getting a few drinks.

This was such a cute place to have brunch with my cousins. The patio is shaded and spacious great for lounging. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I truly am excited yo have my event here. They have an outdoor bar as well as one inside. It's very spacious. The food was superb. I enjoyed the Kobe sliders, the little muffins and ribs. However, the catering menu is different from the brunch menu it was absolutely delicious! It's a fusion of Asian and American cuisine.

So inconsistent with the dress code. Glad I didn't spend a dime here. Get it together avoid this place at all cost. Discrimination at its finest. Asked security, "Why can't I wear these shoes..." Security, "we don't make up the rules" Ok so who does? But draws showing with baggy pants are allowed.

Misogynistic security! I used to enjoy Sp2 until my last visit. I had bottle service and approached a security guard 5'5, hair in a man bun and tatted to ask a question about my reservation. He not only yelled at me but scolded me so loudly that bystanders around me asked me if I was okay. I approached him respectfully and the interesting part is HE DIRECTED HIS AGGRESSION AT THE ONLY WOMAN IN A CROWD OF MEN. While I understand security must be a stressful job, professionalism and respect should never be compromised. I wouldn't give my money to an establishment that targets and humiliates women. You're better off going to 55 South, Paper Plane, Still OG or even The Loft.

Nice ambiance, but staffs are not always available. There is no one to get you to seats. You just have to figure it out yourself. Nice gin tonic

Great cocktails and Brussels sprouts. We went for happy hour and it was nice. Would go here for food and drinks over San Pedro square any day. San Pedro has the live music but the drinks and food here are way better. Also very dog friendly

This place is really Cuuute!! The food is EXCELLENT!!!! Every dish ordered was delicious and the portions were great for sharing. The drinks were outstanding! They were mixed perfectly and weren't overly sweet. The service was on point! The waitress was attentive and friendly. When I asked how a drink was made she was very patient and even had a second drink mixed and didn't charge for the first drink Really, it was a wonderful experience. We can't wait to go back to try more dishes on the menu.

Yummy, inexpensive, great service, very relaxed, did breakfast but will be back for other Will do it again soon

Don't bother to go here! Our brunch experience was horrible. Where do I start! We were given dinner menu first despite confirming about the menu. Service is super slow, our orders weren't taken for the longest time. The waitress forgot to get our mains. Food lacked seasoning and tasted bland. I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone. Ambience is good.

This place has such a cool vibe, perfect for hanging with friends. The drinks were amazing, and they had a good selection of drinks. The music was great. It's definitely a fun spot to check out if you're looking for a good time.

We came out here with a group of friends. This is an awesome spot with great food and vibe.

They always have good hiphop music, often throwback vibes like Aaliyah which I love. Fun for a night out with friends or a celebration on Friday or Saturday, and a great mimosa deal for brunch; one bottle of champagne for the table for $20 and choice of 2 juices. We did 2 bottles for the three of us. I will say though it's dead on Sunday days until playoffs but if you like it quiet with background music it works

Awesome drinks and amazing ambience. We came in sharp at 4 for the Happy Hour and stayed till 7ish. Outdoor patio seating has great vibes and is pretty nice. We opted for that. Happy hour menu has limited options but the drinks from the main menu were superb. Food was decent but then I don't expect a whole lot from bar food. As long as drinks are great, ambience rocks and you are having a gala time with friends!!! And SP2 is great on all the points! Special mention to the Ruharb dessert suggested by our Superb server. Best suggestion ever! Highly recommended place!

Review is for drinks only The music lead us in on a Sunday afternoon, so glad we came here because we had a BLAST There are 2 bars indoor and outdoors Several TVs Lots of places to sit The DJ was AWESOME Had us dancing all nite All the bartenders were great, very friendly and drinks were good !! The vibe was great Drama free Cant wait to come back ?!!

Was told that our entire group wouldn't be not be served because they found a mess on the floor near us (vomit).

So I have a lot of mixed feelings about this place. I came here on a work's reservation, and well, there were a lot of goods, and a lot of bads. Let's start with the goods. One, this place is spacious. Like there's 2 inside and an outside bar with the kitchen inside. Depending on the time, the vibe says it all. I came here at around 8, so the vibes are set to be pretty chill/ dinner type. After 10, it turns into a nightclub. If that's your set, then yeah after 10 works for ya. Now the bads. So with the work reservation, we were given tickets for free drinks. Ahh man, the free drinks were freaking awful. Not good at all. After I wasted my free tickets, I decided to pay for some drinks, and man, HUGE turn around. Shoutout to the blonde bartender though. However, that's sad! Just cuz it's free doesn't mean it has to taste bad. Heck, I even tipped the dude for the free drinks! Ludacris I tell ya. The warmers underneath the patio like seatings were freaking hot. I even took off my sweater and I still felt like a sinner in church. Lastly, the bathrooms are tiny! I am not a big girl, but man, I was struggling on fitting inside the stalls! Sooooo if you're puking at this place, yikes, idk what to say.

This place is such a great vibe! The food was out of this world and the service was amazing. The music was popping and overall, it was a great time and can't wait to come back!

Unfortunately, they had the worst customer experience I have EVER experienced. Plus, you can see men using the restroom because the door is WIDE-open. When I tried approaching ownership about this, they allowed the bouncer to AGGRESSIVELY kick me out and accused me of trespassing when I was a paying customer. Honestly, truly unbelievable and indescribable behavior. If you choose to attend, that is a personal choice that I cannot understand.

I'd been to SP2 once before (at night), but it's a wayyy chiller vibe during the day. We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and found the place relatively empty. My friends and I grabbed a table on the (very pleasant) patio and were immediately approached by our server. She must have been new because she hadn't tried most of the cocktails, but we ended up ordering the New Havana and the Perfect Pair. I absolutely LOVED the New Havana (so creamy and delicious), but Perfect Pair wasn't great (too sweet). For food, we ordered a dozen Oysters on the Half Shell (very good), Heirloom Tomato (decent, I liked to goat cheese), Burrata (my favorite of all the items), and Shrimp Ceviche (good but not amazing, had a nice kick to it). Overall though, we loved the relaxed atmosphere and would return!

Ronnie was awesome! I wouldn't have stayed if it weren't for you!!!!! Ronnie you were so respectful and made me feel safe!

Maybe Downtown San Jose isn't my scene anymore, but I can't let my personal feelings get in the way of giving an honest review. I think my only problem with this place was the seating. I didn't get to take any pictures, but if you check out other Yelpers reviews, you will see what I mean. I feel the benches with the tables are a little too far apart to have a good conversation, especially while music is playing behind the wall in San Pedro Square. The food was decent and I guess they have a rotating menu. We got the blooming onion, which I felt was a little too hard, but the sauce was good. The hot sauce for the wings was fire. I also got a Mexican Lager, Valle and I believe a 21st Amendment IPA called Live Free or Die Brewed? It was a fruity IPA and yummy. This place was also conveniently along a parking garage so parking wasn't too hard to find. Our waitress was also very pleasant and consistent with checking in on us as well and was very friendly. Sorry, I don't remember her name :( Overall, I will probably be back, but not for a while, but if you're looking for a trendy place, this is probably for you

Jonathon - need I say more? Jonathon, the greatest bartender to ever live he's so kind, soul compassionate, always looking out for people and their best interest but more importantly, their safety. Bailey, his coworker, the two of them are, as they say: "the dream team". I've never had a better experience at a bar than with these two angels. Thank you for everything you do, your service is appreciated.

Still one of my fav spots to chill downtown. I love the vibe and quality of drinks and service. Ceviche was a little bland for me as I like mine with a bit more kick but still tasty. The chips were sturdy enough to handle the ceviche and not fall apart. They were also pretty addicting. The wings were delicious - crispy and tender in the inside- not overly drenched. The drinks always a hit. We had two different bartenders and each one took their time. I also want to shout out to the staff. I misplaced my credit card and went back to search for it. The bar staff and manager helped look and were totally attentive and professional. (It was a Sunday evening and the place was packed). I really appreciate their help and going above and beyond.

This will be my last time at this place been coming here for a while but lately I've been noticing that tequila has been tasting extremely strange the first couple times I didn't say anything until yesterday. I'm sick of them pulling well liquor in premium bottles. Yea I said it. I looked at my boyfriend and asked him if it taste weird gave some to my friend. Definitely not casamigos. A group of ppl next to me said something after hearing me mention and agree the liq tasted off I went back to the bartender and told him what did he serve me and that he didn't taste right this taste like cheap alcohol. He told me to keep looking that I had for me another shot. This is the oldest in the book I'm not done and this is happening more often than not I know after 1 AM people are pretty drunk and they don't notice the difference before those people who like to come out and have a nice nightcap. This is beyond. Disgusting I obviously have the money so if I'm paying the price, I deserve to get what I'm paying for.

My first time here and it was definitely a great experience! We had reservations initially for outdoor but since it was cold, they were able to accommodate us by sitting us inside, which was super nice because they were packed and busy. We ordered the Brussels, which was delicious and had a nice kick to it. The ceviche was also really good, fresh and a little spicy! We ordered 2 pizzas, I only tried one.. which was the mushroom Bianca, it was covered in arugula (yay!) and had mushrooms, soooo good! Too heavy on the cheese for my liking but nonetheless, it was still good. The chicken wings were OK, the outside was decent, not a whole lot of flavor but no flavor on the inside. Price wasn't bad either, we ordered all the food, 3 drinks, 8 shots, and it came out to $311 with tax. Pretty good! It does start getting really busy around 9PM as it kind of is like a lounge as well. So be prepared for a line if you're coming here later in the evening.

Food was amazing and a fun atmosphere great place to celebrate with a large party. Will definitely go again

The food and drinks are really good. The service is impeccable very nice and relaxed ambient.
