I came here on a Monday so the place was not bumpin' but their Pork Sliders were Kick-Ass! Really nice looking bar. I would definitely come back if I'm in San Jose.

The food here is so good. Not typical bar food. Try the angry prawns if you like seafood. Tasty and it is served with polenta which I never cook myself, nice to have something different on the side.

Gotta have the Tiger shrimp gritta thing here and the Field of greens salads... Just perfect.. Oh and get a mimosa!

The angry prawns were awesome, sliders were outstanding and the burnt tips. This place is amazing. Awesome selection of very hard to find beers.

Had the pork chops with polenta. Sold! The sauce was delicious. Can't wait to go back to explore more of the menu.

Hidden gem in downtown San Jose. $3.50 draft lagunitas/full boar during happy hour. Small intimate place with a nice outdoor patio as well.

Get the bone in Pork Chop, wonderfully juicy and flavorful. Don't get much if the green apple sauce but didn't even matter.

Not gonna beat around the bush: this place is awesome. Good food by day and raucous bottle smashing nightlife, literally. I'm from Portland, OR but damn it puts our bars to shame.

Chef Matt has launched a fantastic line of summer salads for lunch. Try the grilled chicken salad with arugula, brie and grilled pears. YUMMY!

Be sure to make your reservation online. Otherwise if you call before 4:30, the guy that answers will put yours in the system.

Awesome service, great people. Meatballs are tasty but tough. Nicest staff in San Jose.

Jules CMay 18, 2013
keep in mind that they CLOSE the kitchen at 10pm, so make sure you order a bigger dinner than a tiny winny salad :(
Jennifer BurlingtonAugust 14, 2014
The burger is awesome! Simple and delicious.
Amira SamahaJuly 4, 2010
Food is great here, they'll give you a mountain of fries and chicken if you get the chicken tenders.. Never dissapointed with their menu :)

Pork chop and bone marrow were excellent, but the mac and cheese was very mediocre... tasted like velveeta.
Shannon CoulsonMay 19, 2016
