Erica MessickJanuary 26, 2014Live music Thurs-Fri! Delicious Curry Fries, fresh baked bread and great cocktails. I love that the menu is edited in such a way that every item counts; you can't go wrong.
Greg SchechterAugust 19, 2014Great bar for a date(straight or gay). If beer's your style, get the Brother Thelonius if they have it. If not, the Cocktails are all great.
Brandon LucidoSeptember 17, 2013I had the Ruben and it was the best I have ever had... I love the espresso as well
Kevin CallahanJuly 21, 2013Thumbs up for the short ribs, the pork cutlet, the shrimp and grits and the roasted Spanish peppers! Service was very good (David)!!- J HSeptember 19, 2013The tomato soup is really good. Especially the little grilled cheese sandwich...right in the soup.
Alan DobkinNovember 24, 2013Great little hangout. Enjoyed the charcuterie blue cheese and peppers with beer.- Ask for Mark the bartender. Maybe the best bartender in all of San Jose.
Reims ReimersAugust 19, 2014Let it be noted that the spare rib sliders come in two sandwiches... Not three as one would expect.
General ZodJuly 29, 2013Pretentious is the only word to describe this place. The very tall male bartender was too lazy to even get the check or to ask his coworker for help.
