Pleasantly surprised by the delicious pizza and selection of beers on tap. Shared two pizzas with a friend. Tikka masala was excellent, flavorful chicken, just the right amount of jalapeños, and good amount of sauce and onions to balance it out. I think I liked the burrata pesto slightly more, the balsamic was just the perfect topping to balance it out. Crust on both was thin but crispy. Love a pour your own beer place as I can try small amounts of a variety of beers. Only ate half a pizza each so looking forward to the leftovers. Pretty busy on a Friday night but still able to get seated immediately. Would be a good place to chill and watch a sports game as there are lots of TVs on showing different games read more

The experience at Blast & Brew was very disappointing in terms of service. We came in about 50 minutes before closing, which should have been enough time for a normal dining experience. Instead, we were told we had to order food by 9:25pm but after being seated, no one came to help us for quite a while with no menus. My husband stood up and requested a menu. That already put us behind, through no fault of our own. Once someone finally came over, everything felt rushed. We were told we couldn't get beer past 9:40pm and by 9:35pm our server (Tejas P.) was already trying to take our card while we were still getting drinks he had said 9:40pm was the last call but rushed us before . The whole experience felt like we were being pushed out the door. To make things worse, staff were staring at us while we were eating, which made it really uncomfortable. When we had asked for to go containers, we also asked for extra ranch to go.. well our server said he didn't think so but my husband was upset and said " what ? You can't get any ranch, really? " He answered " let me check but I'll have to charge extra" we said it was fine and he did end up bringing some out. The food was actually great, but the service completely ruined the experience. I always tip, even when service isn't perfect but this was the first time I felt it wasn't deserved. No customer should feel rushed or uncomfortable like this, especially when they arrived within business hours. This place seriously needs to improve how they treat guests even toward closing time we had more than enough time to get treated with some respect. read more

The host was very rude and not welcoming. She refused to seat our group without the entire party, when the restaurant was not busy. The staff was not very accommodating. The food is okay. We ordered the mango habanero wings, garlic fries, and margarita pizza. The food quality isn't the best. Their beer selection is kind of bad - only a few that I felt were drinkable. Choices are very basic and not really even craft beers. When you pour it, it's mostly foam that comes out which you of course get charged for. Prices are pretty overpriced for what you're getting and they charge automatic 20 percent gratuity. I likely wouldn't return again. read more

Blast & Brew - Ras Malai Tres Leches - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

Not crowded at all on a Monday night and the garage nearby has plenty of parking, though most spaces have a 2-hr limit. Only the bottom level is for retail. Our table ordered bulgogi fries, tandoori wings (perfectly spiced and sauced), and two gluten-free pizzas with cauliflower crust. The crust is thin but tastes indistinguishable from usual ones made with wheat. The paneer Tikka pizza was a bit bland overall but the Seoul chicken was delicious with its sweet and spicy flare. The sauce itself wasn't very spicy but the jalapenos in every bite were. The menu also had a lot of cocktails and mocktails but none of us ordered any. read more

My sister in law and I were looking for a brewery spot to relax and enjoy a nice cold beer. We came across this place, and at first glance there wasn't much parking. The location is right underneath some apartments. We go inside and the girl that works in the front looked like she didn't want to help us. The second girl was polite at first, she even helped us figure out how to serve ourselves the beer. The only thing i like about this place is that you self serve the beer. You get a card, load it in and self serve. The beer selection was great, and you get to pick your own glass. I served myself a beer that tasted like coffee and another one that was from Mexico. Both were amazing! As time went by we noticed no one was checking up on us, so we had to go up to one of the workers to take our food order. We got the Buffalo chicken bone-in wings and steak bites. As i cut open one of the wings, it looks very pink. I cut another one and same thing. I asked the server, respectfully, if it was supposed to be cooked this way and she said yes, that it is well cooked. To be honest, i couldn't eat it after that. However, the steak bites were good. The place was slow when we went in around 7pm and slowly picked up maybe an hour later. There's also outside seating. Overall, I didn't feel like the service was good. The ladies looked like they were not trying to be at work. I don't think i will be going back any time soon. But if all you need is a beer, and want to serve yourself, then this is the place for you. read more

The last few times I've been here, they have been decent. The restaurant has good vibes with it's wood and greenery accents. The hosts and servers are very friendly and attentive. The food is delicious and full of flavor. My favorite are the sliders, but again, all of the foods have lots of flavor! I will definitely be coming back for some bites. read more

I love me some good taprooms We came around 8pm on a Friday and we had to resort to a table outside. Thank goodness because this place must be skimpin on the AC as the place was stuffy and hot as L. I ordered the wings and fries which were both ok. The drink selection is what saved the place as they had a large diverse variety of brews. Perfect spot for a HH but def wouldn't make it my regular thang. Big Mitch read more

Overall, the place was solid. I came with some friends and the food was fine, not too impressive. One thing that I did like was the beer area and bar. Great place to watch sports and socialize 100%.

This place actually surprised me in a good way. When my friend and I went, there was barely anyone there on a Saturday at 3pm. Love Potions were a great drink that I would totally order again. It was lychee and vodka based. What we ordered: Chicken tikka pizza and Seoul chicken pizza. The size of the pizza is pretty large and justifiable for the price. It wasn't too thick so I was able to eat the whole pizza all by myself. Not a crust person though. They even offer gluten free crust (cauliflower). Margarita flight was so fun to share with a friend. There was spacious seating, bar area, and outdoor seating with heat lamps. Service was attentive. Overall, a great spot! read more

It was a little quiet, not what I was expecting. They have beer on tap and you get a card to try as many beers as you'd like. There was one server and one food runner/busboy for the entire restaurant and they didn't miss a beat! They have a small patio and were showing the World Series. Food is creative, halal style and absolutely finger licking!!! Halal Wings, do yourself the favor and try them, thank me later :) read more

love the beer-on-tap concept - I've missed a place like this ever since the blast in Cupertino closed down lol ; basically imagine self-serve beer where they measure how much liquid you pour from each spout each time - really good for indecisive people like me who only want like two sips of literally everything lmao steak sandwich - 8/10 always pretty good, sometimes the steak is cooked a lil more than I would prefer but that's fine i guess ; the fries are always really good bulgogi rice - 5/10 saw this was new on the menu so I figured I would try it; usually comes w sushi rice but I subbed for basmati bc I don't like vinegar rice lol, evenho I don't prefer basmati either bc it falls apart & is real dry ; plate was like 60% rice :( sauce is slightly curry-esque even tho it's listed on the menu as chipotle sauce; bulgogi was good tho; also thought it was important to point out that the menu says "beef dumplingS" (note the plural) but it only comes with one singular dumpling used to usually get served by the asian girl who's super nice & likes the dogs (and actually invited us to her dog's bday party last year or something cus I guess we were just that regular lol) but lately had been getting another guy serving us who kinda didn't know what he was doing or would mess up the order or get confused so we stopped going tip: open on July 4th read more

Charged $4 for chaser at the bar smh Terrible service. Server was girl who could barely understand English, nor communicate back. Didn't even tell us how the self serve beer works, she seemed very lost. read more

I have been here 3 times now. Lunch sandwiches, pasta, and appetizers are consistently good but pizza has been served undercooked. 2 times with less than 4 people and 1 time with 9 people. Every time I have come, the service is very inexperienced and the kitchen can not get the food out together. It isnt group size, when I ate there with 3 people, we still waited at least 10 minutes for the 3rd lunch. Self service beer works well. However table service for drinks is poorly trained / takes way too long to order and arrive / they never come to ask about refills or additional orders. There are many other good places in the area. read more

Used to be good but I'm not coming back after todays visit.. I chose this place cuz this was the only place I could find that is self pour (but they expect us to tip 20%...) We ordered chicken Tikka masala pizza but portion was so small for how much it is... the chicken topping was also so tiny I didn't even taste any tikka masala.. but more like cheese pizza.. They close at 10pm but our server was standing right next to our table waiting us to pay at 9:30pm.. smh.. unless you wanna pay $30 for small cheese pizza I would only come here if you want to try many dif beer (20% tip is mandatory if your party with 5+ tho) read more

The service was excellent and the food was great. The fusion is very nice and flavorful. The ambiance was chill as well. read more

What a great find!!! After wrapping up a hot Saturday playing arcade games and bowling, we wanted to grab an early dinner somewhere new. Both my daughter and I had Blast & Brew bookmarked so we decided to give it a try. Located on the bottom level of a large apartment complex which had a great parking garage with plenty of parking. At first I was concerned because when we walked in, the place was empty. But ... it wasn't even 5pm yet so maybe it's the calm before the storm? The restaurant was casual but stylish with a very comfortable vibe. They have patio seating but it was WAY too hot to sit outside so we opted to stay where the AC could keep us cool. Let me start by raving about the customer service. Absolutely fantastic! We all agreed that it was some of the best any of us have experienced in awhile. 4 stars for that alone! I wish I would have asked our servers name but I didn't. He was great though. Super patient as we couldn't decide what to order and was nice enough to walk with my daughter and brother over to the self serve beer wall and explained how it worked. Very cool concept by the way. Here's what we ordered: Giant pretzel - so fresh, fluffy and hot! Steak Bites - OMG GET THESE!! Tender and juicy and the dippy sauce was outstanding. Kids Mac-n-cheese - at first this was odd. Looked super soupy so I was skeptical. But as it cooled down, the cheese firmed up a bit. Not the best I've had but certainly tasty. This is from the kids section but we shared it with the table and it was licked clean. Burrata pizza with arugula - this was tasty. BBQ Chicken Pizza - this was good and the bbq sauce had a good tang. Cowboy Pizza - super flavorful with a slightly spicy kick. Beef Slider Burgers - loved the grilled flavor and super juicy. 3 to an order. Steak Sandwich - amazing flavor and the steak was so tender. This came with fries. Side of Fries - the kiddo in the group ordered the sliders which didn't come with fries so of course we needed to get him some and they were thin and perfectly salted. Yum! 3 of us got beers, 1 had wine and the kiddo had a soda. The bill was over $200 for 5 of us so not cheep but I personally think the quality of the food, service and venue was on point. If you're getting appetizers or are a light eater (like me) plan to share a pizza. These are large enough to feed two people if not three. All of us brought 1/2 of each pizza home with us. But the crust is made I house and was great! You'll notice that the menu has several Indian dishes and our server mentioned that even the non-Indian options had a little Indian flare. Love it all. If you're in the area, please pop in and give Blast & Brew a try!! read more

Blast and Brew is a fun restaurant/brewery environment with a unique menu featuring Indian American fusion. The menu features some classic American style food, while also offering an Indian twist on some classics like the chicken tikka masala pizza. I've never had pizza like this before but it was genuinely so delicious. I like the brewery style because you can scan a card and pour your own drinks so you can sample as many as you want and choose the size of your pours accordingly. It's a great place to bring friends and hangout, especially if you want beers and food! read more

Blast & Brew - Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

We wanted to find a place that had good (Indian) flavored appetizers to go along with good draft beer for a group of friends get-together. The concept of using a card to pour beers yourself sounded intriguing to one of us (I had been to this place before) and off we went. By the time we sat down, we were hungrier than we realized and we wolfed down the food quickly. Everything was delicious, better than any other bar/pub has to offer for our taste but slightly missing something at times. Tandoori wings could have been spicier, the puff pastry chat was delicious and the chicken tikka pizza was good. The beers were fresh and the choices were nice although there could be less IPS and more citrus based beers for my taste. We will go back again read more

Blast & Brew - Pesto Chicken Alfredo, Classic burger, pizza with pep, mush and bacon. - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

This was our 2nd visit. Came in for a lunch date- good brewpub food with an Indian twist. There are self serve beer taps with wide selection of IPAs. Not as diverse beer palette as I would like but definitely caters to tastes of clientele. Would like to request the business to add additional pales, pils, lagers, wheat, amber, blondes etc. Not tried cocktails so far. The burger was well cooked and seasoned, bacon could have been crispier. Tikka masala sandwich was okay- they used dry chicken breast not my favorite type of meat, but it was well seasoned with nice slaw and lachha onions and aioli. Chai was well made- strong. Overall good second visit. Lots of TVs to watch live sports. Service tends to be a little slow. The show stopper is the Ras malai tres leches. Highly recommend this! read more

Walked in here for lunch. As soon as I opened the door the host is looking at me like i was some stranger and wondering what I was doing there. So i had to tell him i would like to dine here. Very odd situation to say the least. Maybe he thought i was coming to hang out and just stand at the front door. I don't know. I ordered the chicken Cesar salad. Presentation wise the salad looked great. BUT, the chicken was not fresh. It was cold, hard exterior and dryer than the Mojave desert. Had to tell my waiter that the chicken was old cold and hard. He had to confirm with the chef if the chicken was fresh in which the chef confirmed. That's a LIE. Brought me out another piece of microwaved chicken. I was over it at that point. Paid my bill and left. They have other items on the menu that might be better than my salad. read more

I found this place driving home. Nice pub feel, indoor and patio seating. I sat at the bar and the bar tender was quick to give me a menu and take my drink order. I ordered a beer, she took my card to open a tab and she gave me a card to use to pour my own beer. You pay by the ounce. I selected an IPA called Mo citra. I liked it a lot. For dinner I ordered a chicken pesto sandwich with Parmesan garlic fries. The food was good, but the chicken could have used a little salt. I was very happy. I would go there again read more

Our new favorite local spot for a quick bite and some beer. Within walking distance and conveniently located.

The food was tasty but having dinner with a friend and one of the meals coming out almost 20m before the other one was not a good experience. When we mentioned it the response was the prep time is different. If that's the case then adjust the start times. The staff are a bit frazzled and it show in the operation. The concept is good and the layout is nice but probably not on the go to list due to the experience read more

My husband and I were trying to escape the crowds in SJ proper this weekend and ventured to Blast & Brew which is attached to the SOFI apartment buildings. We loved the easy parking, dog friendly seating, and the service! Our waitress Pinky was so sweet and brought water out for our dog. My husband also enjoyed his beers and pizza. I had the Benedict without the chorizo and it was okay. The smashed avocado tasted too much like store bought Guac for my liking and was overpowering. Overall, good portions and priced fairly for the bay ($14 Benedict, $19 pizza, $9 for two self service pours). I probably wouldn't come again but my husband would for a guys' night! read more

Food Great, Beer selection good, service = crap! Came here for a work lunch and brought my clients to be met with horrible service. The only reason for 2 stars is because everyone liked the food. Food was delicious and came out quickly. Good enough variety and everyone was satisfied. Beer selection is good but pouring system is horrible. Heavy foam heads and overall glasses don't seem go get filled all the way. Even when we asked for help, start of horrible service, they just said to let it foam over and over flow. Sorry that is a crap way to pour a beer and made it over foamed and taste horrible. Lady helping us seemed like she was to inconvenienced to help us and almost seemed frustrated to answer our questions. Short answers, rude demeanor and overall very unwelcoming. Didn't make any of my guests want to be there and ultimately 1 of my guests just stopped drinking. No plans to come back read more

The number of taps are many but working with most of them is a struggle. Many times updating information for long time due to which forced to take beer which was not intended. Service is very poor even when there was not rush. Not sure for what is service charge of 20% by default when I have to get my own beer. Is it just for brining the food on table? With 10% tax and 20% tip it is costly for casual get together or casual beer. Do not plan to go again for cost and service reasons. read more

Brews: so I was the designated driver, and did not drink but my wife and her brother enjoyed the variety of beers especially the guava and tropical flavors (my wife) and the darker beers for my brother. If you plan to do a group function here I highly recommend this place, plenty of room and spacious for small gatherings or team building engagements! We will definitely be back! read more

We were in the area and came here for Happy Hour. Always a little bit annoyed though when there's restricted areas to eat Happy Hour (only at the bar, and outdoors). My husband enjoyed going to the beer counter, and trying out different beers. They give you a card, so you can see how much you are spending as you fill up each time. Happy Hour food and drink menu is pretty generous- we had chicken wings which were deep fried, but not overly battered, comes with choice of two sauces. Also had the Tikki Tikki sliders, which came with thick, crispy chickpea patties. Off of the happy hour menu, we had some salads -Beet and Goat cheese salad was pretty good, liked the avocado and plenty of beets, but could've used much less of the huge pieces of raw onion. We've been to other blast & brew's as well, but couldn't recall if there's always an Indian twist on the menu. Our server was fantastic- very kind and attentive. read more

We had a lovely late lunch here with our dog Zoey in the dog-friendly patio. The service was friendly and efficient. There is a convenient covered lot with free parking right next to the restaurant. If you drink beer, they give you a card that allows you to dispense the brew of your choice and tallies them for you. My husband had one of their dark beers and enjoyed it. We shared a beet salad, and it was unusual, but good: with arugula, onions, walnuts, tomatoes, and avocado. There was a dressing on the side, but I thought it tasted better without it. My husband enjoyed his burger, indicating that the bun held up. The hash browns that came with it were wonderfully crunchy. I had the butter chicken pizza; it was mild, with good flavor. I would come again. read more

Came here for lunch on a Monday afternoon and we sat outside in the patio. There was no wait and dogs were allowed in the patio. The patio was located on the side of the restaurant in the hallway to the parking garage. It was covered and there were heaters. The food had a mix of American and Indian flavors such as chicken tikka sandwich, burgers, nachos, pizza and more. They had a variety of beer selections where you get a card to slide on the beer tap that you want to try and get charged on the volume. We ordered the blast angus burger, chicken tikka sandwich and crispy chicken burger with fries and onion rings. There was an additional charge for the onion rings but it worth the price. Fries were also good. Crispy chicken burger was huge and it came with an egg. Blast angus burger was decent and the pattie seemed like it was over cooked. Chicken tikka sandwich had a lot of flavor and the jalapeño were spicy. Overall, the food was good, price was on the higher end, workers were nice, beer was good, and I would come back to try their own food and beer. I also liked that it was dog friendly even though our sever was scared of dogs, but he was honest and made it work. read more
