    Cielo at Hotel Valencia in Santana Row had a winter-wonderland-style setup that was definitely cute, but overall the experience felt underwhelming. When compared to the APRÈS VILLAGE experience at the Four Seasons, it doesn't come close. The food menu is very limited, and food took quite a while to come out. There's also no option to make reservations, which was disappointing and made the experience feel less organized. That said, it's aesthetically pleasing enough for a few social media photos. Beyond that, it's nothing to make a big fuss over, and I can't say I'd go out of my way to return.

    Located on the seventh floor of the Hotel Valencia in Santana, Row, this place is perfect for unobstructive views of the sunset while enjoying drinks and small bites. There is an outdoor bar with ample lounge-seating for a small group or for date night. Portable heaters are situated around the patio to provide warmth on cool evenings. Drinks and small bites menu are accessed through a QR code located on the tables while orders are placed with the server or at the bar. Drinks are good but pricey ($16-20). Overall this is a beautiful spot to just lounge on a WEEKDAY evening since it's not crowded at all.

    Very pretty views from the middle of the city! We watched a gorgeous sunset while enjoying drinks. The bartenders are nice you have to go up to the bar to order and have some snacks as well. The drinks are definitely Santana Row prices- start at 16$ but a nice place for a quiet date night!

    Great table if you can get one with the fireplace

    Great drinks, amazing view! With limited rooftop bars in the area, Cielo delivered! Very friendly bartender and host. Got a great table with fireplace and watched the sun go down. Perfect place to take visitors. Go up to the 3rd floor in the elevator to the left of the lobby entrance. Walk across the hallway past the cafe outside on the right, and take that elevator to Cielo. Enjoy the views!

    If you're looking for some good drinks with a view in the area, this place is it. It's a little complicated to get to but the views, especially at sunset are worth it. Perfect spot for a date night in the city.

    Emails

    VICTOR SOTO F&B Manager at Cielo. Is extremely unprofessional and a plain display of discrimination. He's an awful representation of Cielo, V Bar and Hotel Valencia, their services and reputation. My boyfriend booked our proposal at Cielo, as this has always been a special place but I never thought we would be treated in this manner. Victor was caught lying, we were sent an email thread to another employee stating "he didn't not want to take the reservation" with no clear reason why. This is all through emails and initial discussions to reserve the place and time. He lied and said we reached out to "Brent", which was not the case and there's proof. Victor was not unresponsive to emails and in the emails he included people to contact for assistance during his absence. Another employee who was gracious enough and apologized confirmed the reservation and services. Victor was copied on every email and went silent. We booked a party of 20, champagne bottles, chocolate strawberries and a private room. Victor was the only one who did not confirm the reservation or plans outlined in an email from a colleague. He did not apologize. He did not follow through with what Cielo confirmed. His lack of professionalism reflected poorly on the day. I'm disappointed and feel discriminated against. His attitude and his mannerism were unnecessary and disgraceful. As a manager in the service industry it is your duty to show professionalism at a higher level especially at this venue and it is your job to represent the company or venue with services that exceed the customer's expectations and to encourage them to return time and time again. Unclear of what motives Victor had to "not want to take this" but I will be reaching out to further escalate the issue and bring attention to his conduct.

    Always an amazing time here, during this unprecedented time of the pandemic, they only open for private events. We came for the Rombauer Vineyards wine dinner was amazing. Every event we hosted here or attended. It was always amazing. Excellent service, wine and food were delish. Can't wait for them to reopen to the public again! What an amazing sunset view here!

    Wine & champagne with a view. Excuse the snapchat filter.

    My friends and I normally start here before heading over to VBar since it closes at 9:30pm (& it's seasonal). Cielo is a quiet & relaxing spot to come to with a group of friends if you want to talk-- unlike the rest of the bars where you have to scream at the top of your lungs to be heard. If you order appetizers from the menu, keep in mind they take a while to grab your food-- so order right away! The guacamole & chips we ordered took 20 minutes to come out. And you don't receive a whole lot of it. * There is no happy hour at Cielo, but you can bring your drinks from VBar up to Cielo! * There is 1 fire pit- perfect for chilly nights.

    Are you guys open in February 2021?

    Are you guys open for reservations in June 2019?

    Hi! I see the manager responded to a previous question stating Cielo would be closed until May. Is it now open? Thank you.

    Hi! I wanted to bring my boyfriend to enjoy a date night in the rooftop Saturday 1/5/19, is the rooftop open to the public or do reservations need to be made?…

    I'll be coming there after my elopement with my husband and some friends. Would it be possible to bring cake since we'll be ordering a lot of drinks and there isn't many dessert options?

    Is there an email to contact for private events inquiries?

    Call Jonathan Whitwell - Director of F & B. 408-423-5415. He's awesome.

    Is it wine only or do they serve liquor and beer as well?

    Alter Ego and Still OG might just be the most cleverly conceived bar concept in the city. Small and…read moreintimate, yes -- but every inch of it is intentional. Let's start with the drinks. The cocktail menu is inspired by records, and you can feel the creativity in every sip. These aren't your standard bar pours -- they're clearly thought out and crafted with personality. If you're someone who appreciates a drink with a story behind it, you'll be in your element here. The live DJ on weekends takes the whole experience to another level. The music isn't background noise -- it's part of the atmosphere, and it hits right. What makes this place truly special is that you're getting two completely different vibes under one roof. Walk into Still OG up front and you get a casual, laid-back energy -- easy conversation, good company, no pretension. Then slip into the speakeasy in the back and the whole mood shifts. Alter Ego is a proper intimate lounge with their full bar, and it feels like a world away from the street outside. The transition between the two spaces is surprisingly seamless and genuinely fun to experience. And they're open late, which puts them in a rare category of places actually worth staying out for. Whether you're there for a chill night out or a proper evening, this place delivers both without making you choose.

Can still remember the gourmet dogs and duck fat fries back in the days... Awesome what they did to the place. The new set up with the dim lights and neon menu is noice. Ended up chilling at the front bar. Definitely will return to explore the back at a later time. Food: A We got to sample a variety of goodies and drinks from the menu, which definitely hit the spot. The skewers were cooked just right with a kiss of smoke from the grill. The takoyaki were good as expected--yum. We ended the excursion with the milk bread; it was surely a crowd-pleaser. It was fluffy goodness, topped with furikake, and served with a side of decadent house butter. Drinks were perfectly crafted and refreshing. Service: A We were chilling at the bar and got to hang with staff. Cool folks, will be back. - John

My husband and I had a baby free night out to celebrate my birthday and haberdasher did not disappoint. We went soon after opening so there was no line but I know they tend to have one later in the evening. We were greeted warmly at the door by the attendant who checked our ids. I was even wished a happy early birthday. When going into the bar, you walk down a staircase into a space that makes you forget you're in downtown San Jose with beautiful reds and burgundy decor. The staff is all smartly dressed; the bartender and bar back were both sweet and funny. I ordered a jack rose (my all time favorite), their seasonal watermelon waltz (this may be a new favorite for me, nice and refreshing) and one of their zero proof cocktails called a Mariposa which was soooo good as well. My husband ordered a couple old fashioned and a watermelon waltz for himself. We had an amazing time and look forward to coming back in the future.

And they don't allow outside food in even if the food was leftover in Togo bags from dinner. The place was busy when we finally went inside. But the bartenders were fast and we got two rounds of drinks as far as we could order. The dim lighting did look reddish. The large tables were reserved but there plenty of smaller high tops around. Memorable drinks were the perfect pear and the Andean Ascent. Perfect pear was not fruity at all and had a nice aroma and spice to it. The Andean ascent was a nice drink to start with, refreshing with a bit of fizz.
