    I came in here on a whim on 408 SJ Day! I was able to meet the owner, he was unbelievably friendly and accommodating. This place opened up 4 months ago and I couldn't believe how inviting the place is. The ambience is very pleasant and homey. I liked how appreciative he was of us stopping by. He even let us sample our drinks prior to choosing. I got a semi dessert wine which was super yummy. If you're ever in the area I recommend stopping by. I also got the pork belly musubi, which was fire!! Can't wait to come back. :)

    A new bar in downtown San Jose. A great list of rotating, seasonal cocktails and excellent decor. Definitely will be coming back!

    We came here during the soft opening and loved the vibes! They currently have a Sippin' Santa Pop Up with their fun, tiki bar drink. There was a good mix of music playing, which was great for a Friday night. For drinks, I got the pineapple upside down cask, which reminded me of a Mai Tai drink from Hawaii. For the group, we got the punch bowl drink to share, and it was delicious as well. All the mugs that the drinks came in were super cute, and they are also available for purchase. The silent "nightcap" was also really good, but it does contain espresso. You also get to take home the souvenir cup, which is perfect for the holidays. The servers and bartenders were all very nice and attentive. Our glasses were frequently refilled with water, with the occasional question of whether we needed another drink. The theme of the bar will be rotated with the seasons, so now is a good time to check out the holiday offerings. We'll be back soon!

    Opening day 11/28/2025. They are located in the old Agenda Lounge location on the second floor above Petiscos. They are hosting the Sippin' Santa popup menu. Here's what I sampled: 4.7/5: Holiday on Ice: very boozy coffee cocktail. You can get it with vodka or bourbon. Go with Bourbon. 4.6: Sippin' Santa cocktail: Amaro and rum. It's naturally sparkly. 4.6: Jingle Bird. Very good variation on the Jungle Bird. Amped up with allspice and cranberry. 4.0: Sugar Plum Mai Tai. OK rum drink but not enough character or funk.

    Super bowl weekend was pretty busy but we stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a try. I had heard that they had a Christmas take over but we didn't get a chance to make it. They had some super bowl specials that were pretty good. I got pinapple one that I enjoyed. Service was great, we would definitely come back for a quick drink. They also have music to late night.

    This cocktail bar was the perfect bar to start the night. The vibes were great, customer service was excellent, and the entire place was heavily decorated for the holidays. I came here with a large group of people and hung around a booth. However, some of us were standing, which we were totally okay with. A staff then voluntarily pulled a table and chairs for us so that everyone can sit together. This was a very nice gesture and we truly appreciated it! As for the drinks, I ordered the Frost Bite - which was one of their very few holiday drinks that was not rum. Their holiday drinks are so cute and come with their own unique cup. The Frost Bite was a tequila cocktail with sweet and fruity flavor. I'm glad that the place wasn't crowded at all, but still had enough people + a DJ to keep the night alive!

    The newest bar in downtown San Jose! I found this place and yelp and knew I had to check it out for the holidays. It was perfectly decorated with lights. The atmosphere was similar to 55 South (also similar holiday drinks), but with so much more space. Definitely recommending adding this to your holiday bar crawl!

    Super cute new Asian spot in DTSJ! Loved the ambiance in here and I can totally imagine this place getting real packed in this new year. They only recently opened at the end of 2025 so we're looking forward to coming back to see all the new additions to their menu. Booths are spacious and their stage for live music is set to debut tonight (2/3/2026) per Kenton, who was super gracious and informative. There's also a karaoke room in the corner we'd love to check out in the near future!

    Atmospheric and vibey new lounge downtown! First time visiting and hope to return soon. Great drinks, super friendly + helpful staff, and excellent decor!

    Ambience is amazing, played great hits, even some are nostalgic. The drinks are great and I heard it's a rotating menu so it keeps you coming back. Unfortunately I already had a heavy dinner but the bites look delicious. Service was also great and drinks came out quick! Definitely try this place out!

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.

    I'll give the food 4 stars and service 2.5. We went for brunch. Although the restaraunt was…read morerelatively empty, we had to wait for almost an hour. Once seated, it took the waitress a good 10 minutes to come over to our table. When she finallty did, she was going to leave without asking if we wanted to order drinks, we had to call her back. The food took a while also. Not once did she come back to check on us to see if we wanted another drink while we were waiting. She was nice enough, and maybe this is her first wait job, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. However, we noticed quite a few of the staff were just standing around. Hats off to the person who does their Instagram - they make the place look huge, but it's not. Everyone at the table said their dish was very tasty. You HAVE to try the ftench toast a try. It was absolutely delicious.

Keep Calm and Crab On is their version of Crab Benedict. Everything about this Benedict is special and unique. Instead of the traditional lemony hollandaise sauce, it had a brown butter hollandaise. The brown butter's nutty and slight sweetness complemented the crab flavor that you can still taste the crab instead of getting overpowered by the sauce. They use loose real crab meat; not the crab patty type so no fillers. Really good amount of minced crab meat that it's nicely proportioned with the biscuit. Instead of English muffin, they use a big scallion biscuit. The biscuit was toasty on the bottom and the rest was moist with little pockets of honey. The poached egg's yolk was a bit more cooked than the traditional jelly or runny yolk but it did not make this dish any less yummy. Crispy hashbrown on disk shaped. Every part was great. 5/5 stars. The best Crab Benedict I've had and I've had quite a few. The waffle in the Chicken and Waffle was very crispy but at the same time almost flaky. It was not the dense fluffy type but it was easy to eat. It's like a cross between a croissant and waffle. The syrup was lighter than the thick pancake syrup. The waffle is 5/5 stars. The Chicken part of this dish is basically like a Taiwanese popcorn chicken that you can get from a boba place. Bite sized dark meat chicken battered and fried. Served with Sriracha mayo type sauce and syrup. 3/4 stars. The Stuffed French Toast tasted like lemon meringue pie. Sweet lemony filling. The French Toast itself was fluffy but at the same time nicely soaked in custard. Slight cinnamon flavor. It came with a thick slice of bacon which is more like a slice of grilled pork belly that was buttery and umami. 4/5 stars. The Pipikaula Ribs plate had 3 slices of bone in short ribs, kimchee fried rice and two over medium eggs. The short ribs were grilled and looked like the sweet Korean BBQ short ribs but it's more savory with peppery flavor rather than sweet. Tender meat. The genorously portioned Kimchee rice was mostly spicy. 3.5/5 stars because the Kimchee was too spicy to fully enjoy the dish. The Flatbread appetizer had a good amount of mozzarella cheese melted on top soft fluffy flatbread with salty prosciutto slice in between. Topped with perfectly poached egg. Wish they offer fountain soda vs bottled ones. Each dish was eye so pleasing that couldn't wait to dig into it as soon as they landed on the table. Staff, Anna Lisa, was very pleasant and just made us felt comfortable; which was important because it's our first time dining here. Nice comfortable dining room with high ceiling and big windows. Great food with quality ingredients and thoughtfully put together menu, welcoming staff, relaxed ambiance. Will definitely return.

Also, it had a New York type vibe with the brick walls and it wasn't too dark so we weren't struggling to look at menus or anything. The bartenders were quick and got to us within minutes. I'm currently not drinking any alcohol, so I ordered a Coco L'Orange, which ended up tasting like a sweeter Orange Julius. I really enjoyed it like a dessert drink since I just had dinner. I also appreciated how it didn't just taste like straight sugar syrup, which is my usual experience with spirit free cocktails. However, it was pretty tart, so I suggest just sipping on it. It helped a lot with feeling like was drinking with everyone the whole time without having to order multiple drinks. Regarding seating, we somehow found a table in the back where our party of 18 guys could hangout, and it wasn't so loud we couldn't hear each other.

I came here with a friend on a weekday for dinner and it was not packed at all. The atmosphere was very minimalist and clean, with a cute disco ball in the corner. This establishment requires you to order at the bar (makes sense it's a bar), and then they did you a number for the table so they can deliver your food. Any drinks you order they will make it right then and there for you to bring over. In terms of food, here is everything we ordered and my thoughts! *Deviled eggs: You would think since it's deviled eggs, there wouldn't be anything too special about them but I appreciated the small pops of salmon roe that added a nice textural play with the creamy eggs! * Bluefin tostada: Absolutely delicious with fresh tuna, paired with mango, on a crispy wonton chip. What a rich treat. * Arancini: The twist of fusion flavors was great. I love how the Japanese curry added a nice mix of umami, paired with the sharp creamy kimchi sauce. Definitely a favorite! * Pork belly: Pull apart, juicy, and tender! These paired actually really well with the arancini for a good balance of rice and meat. * Red miso crème brûlée: interesting sweet and salty flavor combination between the red miso and Madagascar vanilla. Not too overpowering tho. A lovely meal was had here!
