Adriana Ruiz

Old fashion is a must! Great liquor selection , friendly , try the mac and cheese and beacon brussel sprouts !! To die for!

Mark Tattersall

Great vibe. Lots of space at the bar . Tons of beers to choose from and a surprisingly large wine list . The BBQ brisket was nice but dry in parts, but the collard greens & baked beans were awesome.

Brenda Rodriguez

Great selection of craft beer . Need I say more? Food is not bad either. Bangers and mash are delish. Pomegranate salad is quite tasty too. Sit at the bar , the bartenders are awesome. :D

Russell Van Tassell

Really nice place with a great beer list , but probably a little pricy for the area (ie. There are good, less-expensive equally cool places in the immediate area)

Jay Mar

Great service @ bar , food is decently appraising ; mainly basic dishes, prepared well . Many tv’s on side wall for purely sports !

Chase Vandergrift

This place has a long way to go. They can start by not forgetting to put the bacon marmalade on the union burger (that features bacon marmalade ) - draft beers are at least $2 over market prices.

Alison King

Salmon spring rolls are bomb! I love the vegetarian burger with the pepper ! Also love the Brussel sprout salad when in season!

Kevin Callahan

Haven't been in quite a while. Glad we dropped in. Everything we had was very good. Better than before!

Biscuits were raw in the middle. Prawn linguine average. Chorizo poutine was great, huge portion .

Mark Yolton

Nice new downtown San Jose restaurant . Upscale casual atmosphere , good food.

Kerry Johnson

Very nice restaurant , love the big screen tv 's, atmosphere is hip , food was not bad, nothing to write home about. Will go again to try the flatbread dishes.

Diego

The burger and poutine are great and The Beer Float (not to be confused with the ROOT Beer Float ) is amazing!

Nathaniel King

50+ beers on top! 200 in. HDTV!! Great food, all grown locally!! You are gonna love this place!!

Honey Ballesteros

The filet mignon special was delicious. The union sour is a great drink.

Brian Medeiros

Great choice of beers and smaller plates are a good portion size for non Americans.

Jinnie L

pretty good grilled cheese n tomato soup . half roasted chicken was kinda too salty for me.... mac & cheese was yummy though :)

Michael Helvey

Great location, good appetizers . Perfect place for happy hour .

Nick D'Ambrosi

Make a reservation ahead of time and request one of the "cabana" booths !

Andy Davidson

Tasty gastropub fare and a wide choice of American craft beers .

Evan Lackey

The atmosphere is hip , lights are dim. Great place.

Mina Kelly

Great place! Try their homemade potato chips with sour beer .

Patrick Duffy

Walked in to a half empty restaurant at 5:25pm. Told we didn't have a reservation so they couldn't seat us. Made a 5:45 reservation on OpenTable and was turned away because we had a child with us.

Rolo T.

Nice staff , but when a customer asks about the private dining room, you don't walk away and say "I don't know, that's not my responsibility". If management wants to speak to me further, I'd be glad.

Francesca Hernandez

Huge interior with a great bar . Impressive menu too!

Chris Buckley

Add salmon to the heirloom tomato salad for a hearty light meal.

Stephen Chisa

If you aren't feeling adventurous go for the burger !

Ryan Ota

Waldorf salad was solid. Built almost like lettuce wraps and loaded with toppings

Conner Hobson

This place is way overpriced for its quality. The menu descriptions were crafted with more skill than the food, and the juxtaposition was disappointing. The salmon egg rolls were good though.

Brandon Lucido

Best burger in San Jose

Susan Mills-Gabler

natalie kay

Mac & Cheese is very good.

João Figueiredo

Great beer selection

Chris Peluso

Get the Kölsch !

Karl Schramm

It's really hard to hear anything or anyone here.

Michael Beener

Decent concept. Rough start. Needs some improvements.

Alice Allergeek

Hostess explicitly rude. Won't give you a table in an empty restaurant . Avoid for your own sake .
