Let the experienced bar staff lead you through a couple of rounds using your favorite spirit. Like gin ? Choose Bols Genever. Delicious!

A good spot on the downtown San Jose cocktail bar circuit. No trendy decor, just dive bar feel with good specialty cocktails .

Jay Mar

Solid, quaint, moderately noisy ; quick service and pleasant staff !

Honey bee smash is my fav so far if you want a fruity and fresh summer drink .

Zoe Tronson

This is a really cool spot in terms of atmosphere, but I've NEVER had slower service at a bar in my life. And it's not even crowded .

Elise Poullet

Great value ! Drinks are good and awesome service!

Try the old fashioned with Japanese whisky .

The men's bathroom doesn't lock, or it is broken. I walked in on a guy who was dropping a bomb lol. And I locked it, and someone else walked in LOL BE CAREFUL.

Enjoy the carne asada tacos or burrito. The chips and salsa are a bargain at $0.50 and the ORANGE SAUCE makes the whole meal complete. I go at least once a week. - Victor Gaxiola
