I kicked off the holiday weekend at Parklane Lounge located in San Jose with a refreshing Shandy made with sparkling lemonade and pilsner beer. The bartender also crafted a fabulous Old Fashioned garnished with Luxardo maraschino cherries -- deep red, almost black, rich, syrupy, and perfectly paired with fresh orange peel. Great cocktails, a great atmosphere, and a wonderful way to begin the weekend while remembering our veterans. read more

Park Lane Lounge - Classic done right: bourbon, bitters, orange, and big ice - Lounges Near Me - San Jose, California

Still one of my favorite watering holes. The bartenders are always pretty, but friendly. When you walk in here, no matter what time of day, you'll capture a small slice of that Bay Area lifestyle. Someone here has probably been recently fired, patrons are helping fix another patron's car, a lively game of pool and shit talking is taking place. This is a place you can stop, drink, and not worry about getting bothered by creeps. And when you're done eating, you can grab a Whopper Jr or some 7-11 nachos! Tell me that isn't a score. read more

Park Lane has been a fantastic bar in the community for years now. The staff is amazing, the drinks are perfect and it has always been a great time to hangout with friends and family. I highly recommend it to have a great time!!!!!! read more

5/8/26 - has this place changed management or owners? Went for drinks around 6pm on a Friday. Absolute ghost town. Bartender couldn't understand a word I said, didn't have three different types of alcohol we tried to order and then acted as if he'd never served a drink before. What happened to this place!?! It used to be epic. It's dead and gone now. read more

The bartender(M) and friend (F), both african american, were very racist and unwelcoming. I will not be coming back. I do not want to come to a place which does not accept anyone except Muslims and rich customers. When i was unable to tip, and unable to order more than 1 drink, they both started hurling slurs about my ethnicity and started physically assaulting me and my friends. The drinks were great but the service was abysmal. read more

Veteran-owned and operated by a Navy vet and military brat who poured his heart into opening his first bar. The owner is also an NVIDIA engineer, which shows in how well-run and thoughtfully designed the place is. If you like supporting veteran-owned businesses with personality, this spot is worth checking out. read more

This'll be short. Absolutely horrible one time experience. Customer service was abysmal and I ended up getting double charged for 1 drink. Would not recommend unless you wanna get pickpocketed by the servers there (the lady that was serving me and my friends seemed like she was drunk before 5 pm, or on something harder).. Oh and she lost my friends card as well read more

Park Lane Lounge - Double charge for one shitty seltzer I drank - Lounges Near Me - San Jose, California

The place is ok with good drink prices but service is up and down and it mainly empty most of the time

The drunk beligerant bartender Alana, threw me and my friends out before we even had a chance to spend any money at the bar. We bought both pool tables and we're in the middle of our first round of billiards, when Alana came up rudely screaming to us because we hadn't bought any drinks within 12 minutes of entering the establishment. Got our billiards all thrown into the table, screamed at by a drunk bartender who shouldn't even be working, and kicked out. Wouldn't recommend this establishment until they do something about the drunk exotic dancer behind the bar... Rule # of bartending, don't be more drunk than the customers so they will actually want to be served by you. read more

Most amazing bartenders ever! Especially Coco! She makes everyone so comfortable and happy! I'm stoked i found her and this bar!

I can't believe I've lived around this bar for decades and never visited until now. They look closed and a bit obscure, and it's a bit hidden in a small, dark corner of a small complex. But check this! - Friendly, cute bartender. I was digging her tattoos, too! - Good service - Adequate music, where it's lively but you can still talk - Large selection of whiskey and beer - Friendly patrons I've been to dive bars where the patrons look extremely sad (think Barney & alcoholics in the Simpsons). I half expected this place to be similar, but it wasn't at all. This has an unpretentious feel, without the usual griminess. It's actually kinda cute. I'll be back! read more

This bar is great. I love the new ownership. I love that they show the football games too! Go cowboys!

Parklane is the best bar ever!! Great staff - cold beer - amazing drinks! 10/10 would recommend this bar to all my friends :)

Michelle is the best! We came her after work and didn't t know what we wanted to drink. She appropriately ID us, then made us a Mexican candy shot. Came back a few days later when my bestie was going thru it and made the heabreak heart shots, tbh took away the pain. Miche is a vibe herself read more

THE neighborhood bar, PL. Best place in the bay to learn how to play serious pool. The bartenders are considerate and thoughtful, I've met real people here that are real friends. Stop by and have a modelo, or ask for a Mexican Lollipop, it's the best shooter this side of the Mississippi. Seriously. #freemiesh read more

Pattys the best bartender. We come here all the time and are always greeted with a smile. Service is great from Patty and all the bartenders. Always a great time. read more

Came to parklane a handful of times the past couple years, and just wasn't impressed, manly with the service. Random stop recently for a cold drink and some air conditioning. The place really changed for the best and the bartender (Coco) was very friendly and welcoming. No wait time for a drink or refill, she's on it. Service is much better than before and the bartender makes you want to return. Talking to her and she has so many great ideas to make the place more fun and I can't wait. I'll definitely be back! The pool and dart tournaments are fun to watch and the DJ plays some good music too. read more

Service is excellent and the people seem really cool. First time her but definitely not the last. Great ambiance. read more

Park Lane Lounge - Great service and people...glad I found this spot! - Lounges Near Me - San Jose, California

The Park Lane is a good place to go too, the people are very friendly and if you like the dive bar vibe without the dive bar issues this is a good joint to stop in and have a drink or two. The drink are fairly poured and the prices are good. The only thing to say for improvement is the outside of the bar is not very inviting. That is not a problem for me , or my friends but had we not been told of this place not someplace we would of just drove by and stopped. Wonder how much more business you could pick up. Otherwise good time , everyone give it a try read more

WTF is this lounge? I came with my buddy last week after work, and the service was pretty bad. Why did I need to wait for your bartender to finish their conversation then order my drinks. We sat there like rocks for 10 minutes, and finally got our order down. Come on now, you guys gotta treat everyone the same. read more

I am the human who loves finding a place where everybody knows your name. This is that place. I love Miesh, Patty, Chelsea, Caitlyn,, Soliel, Ashley, Sandra ...you can't go wrong with any of the bartenders. read more

Park Lane Lounge - Choices choices ....... hmmmmm - Lounges Near Me - San Jose, California

Stopped by this place for the first time on a friday night.The bartender, Michelle, made me a fan of this bar. She was Awesome! The place was very chill and inviting. read more

It's been a minute since I've been there, but the people seem chill. Kinda typical cliquey dive bar customers and exclusively younger lady bartenders. I've been told it's been cleaned up since Covid, but the only red flag for me was the fact that it was a bar with carpeted floors. Carpet. In a bar. With drunk people.... Nope :) read more

To the owner, You will never who will walk into your bar, don't just always assume that we are using your parking spot for no reason. I came down to try this bar, and your bartender just came out of the door and told me that I cannot park there. I left to pick up something from CVS, and one of your employees sticked a freaking note on my car. No wonder why your bar is PaRk Lane lounge. Parking spots first, customers second. Stay away from this unfriendly bar. read more

This is one of the cleanest bars in the area. The service is always friendly and the bartenders are amazing. Patty I would have to say is my favorite bartender. She is so friendly and always has a good attitude and a smile ready when you walk through the door. My overall experience with coming to this bar for over 10 years is that the current owners and management have made this bar better read more

Nicely remodeled neighborhood dive bar That's not a dive. 2 pool tables Always free pretzels and cheese its. Comfy leather couches around the pool tables Make it nice to watch or play pool. Great bar to take a lady to because it Looks classy read more

I like the lounge. It's a dive bar don't get me wrong, but I still enjoy it. The bartenders are pretty friendly and nice. Really enjoy the app-based juke box they have as well so you don't need to worry about carrying cash on you. read more

This is your local bar in San Jose that shouts fun! My friend and I walked into the bar and were welcomed by two very beautiful women bartenders. They took our orders and used some profanity in their sentences as they spoke to each other or the other customers. I had *no* problem with this, as it made for a very home / comfortable environment. The drinks here are strong and generous. Prices are reasonable. Drinkg Grade: A- Service Grade: A- Worth the Money Grade: A- Overall Impression Grade: B+ read more

WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK? Ok, imagine a really dead plaza, and in the corner of Moorpark and Williams, there is a big sign "LOUNGE". What could be in there, you think? My friends and I were across the street at 7 eleven, and we see that sign, and decided to go in and explore! The plaza apparently burned down a while ago, and everything was rebuilt. We walked in, and to our surprise, it was "POPPIN'" Usher- OMG was playing, tpeople were playing on the pool tables in the back, the crowd was in the late 20s-30s just kicking back having a drink, the 2 bartender girls were really nice and the service was quick. There's a megatouch, and a touchscreen jukebox that shows friend/photo feeds, and an electronic dartboard. $7.50 for greygoose shots, and $4.50 for beers. Nothing on tap, all bottles, but a good selection of beers. What a great find! a nice little neighborhood dive bar, seomthing we all were not expecting at all! read more
