Not only are the cocktails special, the small bites menu is super tasty including the Shishito pepper skewers and the Takayoki. The staff are also super friendly and the bartenders are some of the best mixologists in town.

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.

They didn't own the nfl package at the time and they didn't serve food yet. The staff was nice and helpful. While they didn't have all the games, this place wasn't packed which made it more comfortable. It's not the biggest coffee shop around but it's for sure one of the cleanest.

Despite that, we sat down and a waiter came by to take our order with a trainee. We gave him our drink order and needed a minute before ordering food. While looking over the menu, the training waiter is explaining the "do's and don'ts" of the restaurant to trainee right next to our table which was distracting to us and clearly uncomfortable for the trainee. Once decided we order and then the trainer was explaining to the trainee how it's their policy to receive payment after ordering (keep in mind we haven't received food or drinks yet and the starting gratuity was 20%). We pay and give looks to each other after the cards are charged because at this point we are wondering what is going on here?!?!?! The drinks come out 10/10...then the food. I have seen prosciutto look different in Spain and other establishments BUT NEVER have I seen tan/khaki tipped prosciutto. Then once I decline my order (we ordered 2 charcuterie boards and they brought out 1 at a time) the waiter said "we can't reverse the payment so we can give you something else of that value." I looked at the menu and didn't see anything else that looked appealing. When looking at the reaction from my friends, they suggested we leave because the food was either reaching the expiration date or surpassed it. Pros: if you're ever in San Jose the drinks (we only had one each but the ones we had were great) and whiskey selection is grand. Cons: food, the service, and payment policy. I expect to pay fast food establishments before receiving the meal, but never have I been charged (including starting gratuity at 20%) before receiving the meal.

We sat outside by the fire pits. We tried so many drinks but the waiter suggested Paradise Lounge was the best one I tried. We did try the Phoenix Rising... hard pass on that one - something tasted rank to me. They were kind enough to remake it, and after the second version it still tasted weird. I do think it was something off with me. Ultimately they brought out another PL. Really appreciated that and they didn't make me feel bad for being picky. Overall great drinks, great vibes, awesome staff - highly recommend!

We got the Mai Thai and punch. Came in a plastic cup. We also put an order for fries, but $10 is a lot for a decent amount of basic fries. Unfortunately, they did not have happy hour when I visited. There's plenty of water stations to self serve a drink break. There's a lot of seating inside and outdoors. Inside has tables, booths, and a large television to watch the basketball game. Outside, it face the inner street of San Pedro. The day I went as a fun surprise because I got the stroll through free photobooth, and other activities for the event in the area.

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!

Came here once for my friend's birthday party. Him and his roommate bought a bottle; I didn't ask what they paid. I honestly got super drunk and enjoyed their live DJ who was playing dubstep while the TV screens were playing EDC sets The girls here are sooo hot. There were so many and such a wide variety! Some even had costumes on so if you like sexy nerds or bunnies, or whatever, you're going to like this place. A lot of ABGs as well. All the girls were super nice. When I arrived, I saw policemen talking to security at the door and then they just left... Makes me wonder what this place pays them haha. My friend's roommate got super drunk so my friend and I walked him out to make sure he got into his Uber safely. When we went back inside, they had already cleared our table! Even took our bottle! They said to us: "once you leave your table, you can't come back!" So that's why I'm giving this place 4 stars. Overall, since they force you to buy a bottle, you are for sure getting drunk and you are for sure going to have a GREAT time, because the music is lit and the girls are sexy! I will definitely have to go back soon!! To anyone who's wondering if there were any other girls whom were customers... no. I was the only girl haha. All the guys in there were definitely looking at me
