10 oz. IPA vs. a 14 oz. 805 Ale = same price at $7.
Ellen R.

I'm calling bullshit. Depending on the ALCOHOL content of your draft beer, they give you a certain size acrylic cup to drink it out of. ARE YOU SERIOUS? Beers are $7 whether they are 10 oz for the boyfriend's Stone IPA or my 14 oz 805. Whatever happened to the pint? Love what this place could be. Once a keg runs out, the screen on the wall changes to what is currently available, adding a new brew to the menu. There's a couple pool tables, dart boards, unisex bathrooms, some really fun kitschy funnies in the wall. The decor is an A++ with a very cool bar, selection of alcohol, and accent wall. The roll up door brings the outdoors in, which I totally like. The bartendresses are very helpful and nice- they were really great. If the owner would go to full size beers at $7 ($1.50 more than our favorite watering hole) we would go back... but if he wants it to be hipster and "different" and rip his customers off, then it's not for me. Welcome to Los Gatos prices on a Gilroy budget!

Great new place! Nice tap collection, B.Y.O.F. I could live here!!! Just needs purse hooks!

Big fan of the industrial vibe here. We've brought some of our own games to play before which is fun. No real complaints, but it would be nice to see some drink specials.

Bartenders Union is a nice place to hang out.  A gem in downtown Gilroy.  We played darts and pool and enjoyed draft beer and a full bar!

I don't think I could ever come here and not order it!! Pop's has such cool, relaxing vibe to it. It feels like home even though I live far away from Gilroy. Whether you're hungry and/or thirsty and you're in town, get off the 101 and come here. You will not be disappointed!

There is also a pool table and few arcade games! The menu is extensive with plenty of traditional bar food options and some Irish staples. Everything sounded delicious, but I opted for the Pop"s Pub burger. I figured that would be a good starting point to get a feel of how good the food is. The burger was good, but not $21.00 good. The fries were tasty ,and I really enjoyed the side salad that came with it. The burger itself came with lettuce , tomato and a house sauce (thousand island blend). The burger was cooked perfectly , and tasted pretty good. However, when you add a $10.00 IPA to the equation and throw in a tip- I was out $41.00. I didn't like my meal enough to spend that kind of money. For a burger to be this pricey, I needed more. This place seems like a cool place to chill ,watch a game, and enjoy a cold beer. I may just do that next time and skip the meal. The service was poor. Once my food was dropped off , I never heard from the lady again to check on me until she dropped off the check.

Tried this place for the first time on a Friday night. The restaurant was packed, but we were…read moreseated promptly, which was nice. I ordered the steak sandwich, which was a 10/10. My daughter ordered the Gilroy garlic pasta, which was also delicious. My son ordered the mac and cheese from the kids' menu, and my wife ordered the lettuce wraps. The food took a while to come out, but given how busy the restaurant was, that was understandable. Up until we received the bill, the evening was nearly perfect. Unfortunately, that's when things took a disappointing turn. The $19 lettuce wraps ended up costing us $31. During the ordering process, my wife asked our server, Jesus C., how the lettuce wraps came. He explained that she could choose chicken, salmon, or both, with 6 ounces of each. She chose both, not realizing that selecting those options would result in an additional charge. I take responsibility for not specifically asking whether there would be an extra charge. However, I also believe that when a menu item has a listed price and a customer is given additional protein options, the server should clearly explain that choosing those options will increase the price. Simply presenting them as available choices without mentioning an additional charge is misleading and creates an unpleasant surprise when the bill arrives. Unfortunately, a similar situation happened later in the meal. My 4-year-old son ate his mac and cheese very quickly. Jesus noticed and asked if he would like more. I agreed, again because no additional charge was mentioned. We expected to pay the $9 listed price for the kids' meal, only to find that we had been charged $18. I understand that restaurants charge for additional portions and upgrades, and I have no issue paying for something when the cost is clearly communicated beforehand. My concern is that, in both situations, we were not informed that additional charges would apply. Overall, this experience was disappointing. I left feeling like the pricing had not been communicated transparently, which unfortunately overshadowed what otherwise would have been an excellent meal. All that was needed was a simple statement such as, "There will be an additional charge for that." Moving forward, I will certainly make sure to ask about additional charges before agreeing to anything. However, I also believe the responsibility should be on the restaurant to clearly communicate pricing when customers are offered upgrades or additional portions. I will also be contacting Santa Clara County Weights and Measures to ask whether these pricing practices comply with applicable requirements. Update: After posting my review, the manager followed through and promptly contacted me regarding my concerns. We had a productive conversation, and the issue was resolved to our satisfaction. I appreciate the manager taking the time to personally reach out, listen to our concerns, and make things right. While our original experience was disappointing, I'm pleased with how the restaurant handled the situation afterward. That level of follow-through is appreciated and speaks positively to their commitment to their customers.

We originally made a reservation to take our boys…read morebowling for the first time, but unfortunately there was a festival happening in downtown Gilroy and, because of all the road closures, we couldn't get anywhere close to the bowling alley. I called and spoke with the manager, Saulo, who was incredibly understanding and worked with us to move our reservation to the following day. When we came back, Saulo and the entire staff were welcoming, hospitable, and accommodating. Our boys have special needs, and since this was their first time bowling, it was definitely a new experience for them. The staff was patient, kind, and made us feel completely comfortable. That meant a lot to us as parents and made what could have been a stressful outing into a really enjoyable family experience. Huge thank you to Saulo and the entire Gilroy Bowl staff for taking such great care of our family. We'll definitely be back. Additionally, the food and drinks were top tier!! 10/10 -- highly recommend!

First off, the environment and atmosphere is perfect, it's a hangout/lounge, with a bar, a dining area, and of course the lanes. The couches are extremely comfortable, to where you can hangout and drink for hours. All the staff was extremely and accommodating for a Saturday in all sections, bar, bowling and food staff. Lanes felt well waxed without any big grooves or dents which is always a plus. My only complaint would be that the cheese literally falls off the pizza when you take a bite. But other than that, had a great time with the family and will definitely return and recommend this alley to others!

I've always been more of a Wingstop kinda girl, probably due to it being a lot more convenient…read more I've had 1 other experience with Buffalo Wild Wings beside this recent visit and I must say, the one thing that always remained in my memory was the MANGO HABANERO sauce. With my family and I being in need of lunch, I wanted to give BWW another try... Let me start off my confirming that the reviews at this particular BWW isn't great. Hell, I think its safer to say they are terrible. I was a little weary of dining in but I didn't want to miss out on an opportunity for their mango habanero. Our party of 4 walked in and was immediately greeted and seated. The bar had maybe 2 patrons and 2 other booths were being occupied. Slow for what would typically be a lunch rush but it is what it is. Lunch consisted of: *BOTTOMLESS APPS [CLASSIC: mozz sticks, onion rings, fried pickles, hatch queso, + chips & salsa] *15ct BONE IN WINGS [medium, mango habanero, honey garlic] *3pc CRISPY CHICKEN DIPPERS, served with fries *KING'S HAWAIIAN CHEESEBURGER SLIDERS [golden fire sauce on the side] Food was good. The bottomless apps weren't as beneficial for our party since the fried options got tiresome quite quickly. BUT!! We did make sure to sample a little bit of everything- hatch queso being one of the faves and the disappointment lies with the clearly canned salsa that was offered. The wings were delicious and yes!!! The mango habanera was just as amazing as i had remembered!!! The chicken tenders were a bit dry but the tasty fries kind of made up for that. I highly recommend the King's Hawaiian cheeseburger sliders- the buns were so soft and fluffy, the burger was flavorful, and this is the perfect choice for anyone dining with children. With all that said, kudos absolutely goes out to Natalia!!! You are the primary reason as to why this visit/meal was so enjoyed. Thank you for being patient, kind, hardworking, and so personable. Each and every request was met and your level of A1 customer service was so refreshing. Girl, you undoubtedly deserve a raise!! Yes, there is a wait to place and receive orders. Yes, the server takes a bit of time to make their rounds but that is expected since they are juggling quite a bit. Come here ready to be patient and be floored by the friendliness - a fair trade off if you ask me. 5/5 stars. I'd come back again and you already know mango habanero is gonna be on my order!

Tony greeted us warmly at the door and promptly seated us at our table. Unfortunately, our…read moreexperience declined significantly after that. We waited approximately 15 minutes without a single employee approaching our table. During that time, no one greeted us, offered drinks, introduced themselves as our server, or attempted to take our order. What was most disappointing was that the lack of service did not appear to be due to staffing shortages, as several employees were visible throughout the restaurant. In fact, two female employees seemed more focused on socializing and flirting with guests at the bar than attending to customers waiting for service. Meanwhile, our table remained completely unattended. As paying customers, we expect at least a basic level of hospitality and attentiveness. Being ignored for an extended period was both frustrating and embarrassing, especially in an establishment that prides itself on customer service. We ultimately left feeling disappointed by the lack of professionalism and concern shown toward guests. I hope this feedback is taken seriously so that future customers do not have a similar experience.

Solid reasonably priced meal and drinks and open late…read more Visited while traveling in the area and looking for a spot for food and drink with later hours. They close at midnight and were the right choice. We opted for the 2 for $25 meal deal and got the Caesar salad and blackened Cajun salmon (including two sides) with the $7 (each) up-charge. The Caesar was good with shaved parmesan and croutons although a little overdressed. We had the salmon with the garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli and green beans. It was the right portion size and everything was great. The salt and pepper grinders were a nice touch. Pacing was good and our bartender was attentive. The restrooms were a little overlooked and could have used some cleaning and replenishing. We are only in town every year for the Garlic Festival and always looking for spot that's open later and this was a good choice.

Unfortunately, our experience was concerning, particularly for anyone with a gluten allergy or…read moreother dietary restrictions. The server and management did not appear to be adequately informed about gluten allergies or the restaurant's gluten-free labeling. We were told that items marked with the "GS" symbol were not gluten-free, and that menu items without the symbol were safe to eat. This appears to be the opposite of the information provided on the restaurant's website. If you have a gluten allergy or other dietary allergy, I would recommend exercising caution when dining here and confirming ingredients and preparation directly with management. What was especially disappointing was feeling as though our gluten allergy was not being taken seriously by the staff. For anyone with a true allergy, accurate information and careful handling are essential.
