Came here last week for the first time with my husband and some friends to celebrate my birthday. It was a Tuesday night so we had the whole place to ourselves for a while . The spot was so cute too loved the vibes and they had big sofa/tables to seat a group . The 2 gentlemen working that night were so friendly. The drinks were beautiful and taste really good while also packing a punch ;) they were so kind and surprised us with karaoke for my birthday ! I didn't even know they had Karaoke lol You know us girlies looooved it . We had so much fun . It became my friend's birthday at the stroke of midnight, so thank you for making both of our birthday nights one for the books ! Overall it's a cute spot to enjoy a nice drink with some good company, and if you want to up it up a notch you can sing your little heart out with some karaoke in a private room hehe warning: very possible you will lose your voice the next day lol read more

New bar in town Nicely designed and very large space. It was a Sunday night so the place was pretty empty. But their server and their host are awesome and friendly. The drinks were fun. These drinks aren't that stiff so I was able to enjoy a couple different ones. There is a karaoke room which is fun for a small group. But there is a large stage, which I hope they turn one of the nights into a Karaoke nights read more

Such a cute seasonal theme bar that is located upstairs! I love how the menu and theme changes seasonally. They had a Lunar New Year theme when I went earlier this month. All the workers were really nice and friendly. Lots of good cocktails to choose from and they were yummy & strong! read more

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. :) read more

Really nice environment, and friendly staff. They had live music when I went. Drinks were solid but honestly I'm excited to try the alleged Christmas menu I've seen online. They had some food options but weren't my thing. Will be going back during the holidays read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

New bar that took over the avenue I believe. It's right next to haberdasher around the corner. I think it brings another solid cocktail spot to the area. The bar is from the same owners as 55 South or maybe it was paper planes I forget... But with those guys you can't really go wrong. The drinks were good. We went during super bowl weekend so it was a limited time menu. I felt all of em were pretty tasty. Looking forward to the new concoctions they come up with after this. I'll def be back! read more

Tucked upstairs and off the beaten path next to the Ritz venue, this brand-new cocktail bar feels like a secret you're lucky enough to be in on. From the moment you step inside, there's a buzz equal parts intimate, electric, and effortlessly cool. Courage Anyone isn't just about the drinks. The space is built for vibes. Live music nights bring the room to life, karaoke turns strangers into instant friends, and the layout is perfect for private events that actually feel special, not cookie-cutter. read more

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! read more

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! read more

The food is amazing & unique! Their service was on point & I wish I remembered the name of the server that went above & beyond from beginning to end. The dj set the vibe & made the entire experience that much better. read more

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! read more

I came here last Saturday for a little lunar new year outing with my cousin. The place is SOOOOOO PRETTY. There were Chinese lanterns decorated all over the ceiling and it was pretty dang spacious inside. Something that many bars lack, especially in DTSJ. The vibes were immaculate. DJ was awesome. Just unfortunate that it was a little quiet and no one was dancing on the floor despite the bangers played by the DJ. The drinks are on the expensive side though. I got their open sesame daiquiri and OMG it was soooo yummy. Transported me to my childhood when I would eat those sesame mochi balls. I love how their menus change according to the holidays or events like the super bowl recently. Anyways, the drink was crazy delicious but I did not taste a single ounce of alcohol. Like not even a little. So for the price, it wasn't worth it. Just tasted like a smoothie. Service was good though. The waitress was honest when she said she didn't try certain drinks yet but gave her best on which drinks she recommend or for the ones she didn't taste, she used feedback she was given or heard from others to help shape my decision. read more

Courage Anyone is a great bar! The drinks were creative and delicious, the servers were welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere had both a fun and chill vibe. I will be spreading the word to my friends to come here. read more

Great atmosphere and service! Everyone is so friendly. I can't wait to see what things are like after Sippin Santa.

Had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday here with family and friends. Kenton and the bar team were so accommodating and we never had to wait for a drink. The ambiance has all the appeal for grownups that appreciate a good drink, conversation, and a fun time. read more

Got the Flying Tiger and Red Envelope drinks. Both were excellent. Cool lighting; great place to get a drink

Very cool atmosphere, great service, and quality cocktails. Definitely should be on your downtown SJ rotation.

Great selection of whiskies and cocktail menu is very creative. The overall interior is really nice to sit down and have a conversation. Having it be on the top floor gives a good chance of pace to the downtown area. Service is also very attentive read more

Went for live music. Love the vibe. Paper lanterns give it a really pleasant warm light. Staff is very friendly. Definitely will go back

The mushu and crickey mocktail was slightly bitter and very refreshing, it hit the spot on a warm day. I especially liked the chicken liver parfait and the roasted garlic hummus dip. The owner graciously made an appearance and served a dessert drink to top off a very special evening. It was our first time and the ambience was very charming with Chinese New Year lanterns decorating the ceiling. Very personable service, highly recommended! read more
