Nice neighborhood bar. My first gay bar out of HS. Fond memories of the old location!

I will ALWAYS love Renegades. Less pretentious than Splash and much more personable. Karaoke and Saturdays are my fav.

Dirty. Run down. And rude staff. From the outside the place looks like its closed down.

We stopped here on a whim after the Mexican restaurant next door was full. It worked out well…read morebecause we had a great experience. We sat downstairs and were able to watch the 49er playoff game while we ate. The atmosphere fits the name well...it feels like dining in someone's downtown loft apartment. (Slightly industrial with exposed brick, but all very cool.) The service was fast and friendly for most of our time there. (The only issue being a delayed extra ketchup we requested) The server even offered to close the front door when he thought I was cold. The food was awesome. We got 2 of the happy hour burger specials. It was a burger, fries and fixins...plus a shot and a beer for under $20. The burger was cooked to order and delicious. Good char and flavor. The fries were also very good. Overall, the place was great and I'm glad we caught them while they were open. Side note: it's right next door to the San Jose Improv, which is where we were ultimately headed, so that added to the overall convenience.

There was plenty of seating and the whole 2nd floor was booked up. Came back here for my grandma's service lunch on the 2nd floor once again in November 2025 and it was a great experience. We parked across the street in a parking lot for $10 which wasn't too bad at all. Upon arriving, the employee greeted us and we walked up the stairs to the 2nd floor. At the time, the Loft wasn't open to the public. There were two long tables for everyone with a DJ stand and that's where my family held our speeches. After the speeches, we enjoyed their food which was really good. There was plenty of food and I filled up my plate generously. The appetizers were crispy calamari, cheese platter, roast artichokes, steak bites, caesar salad. Entrees were pesto salmon, smoked salmon rotini, vegetarian penne, chicken marsala, grilled pork tenderloin. With sides of basmati rice, garlic mashed potatoes, sauteed vegetable medley. Dessert we had NY Cheesecake, white chocolate creme brulee. I would recommend this place for holiday parties, work events and family gatherings. Not sure of how good the rate was but my dad said the owner was very communicative and helpful to coordinate.

We visited during Super Bowl weekend after walking by it a few times before, so we were excited to…read morefinally check it out. This spot is really cute. From the outside, it looks like a small church, and inside it feels like a greenhouse. Unfortunately, the service was pretty disappointing. We were seated right away, but no one came by to take our order. After waiting for a while, my husband ended up going to the bar to order directly from the staff at the front. The wine itself was also just okay and was served fairly warm. Not sure if that was intentional, but it wasn't what we expected. Overall, it's cute, but between the lack of service and the underwhelming experience, it's probably not somewhere I'd go back to

We wanted to order the cheesy pizza, but the waitress mistakenly brought out a charcuterie board instead. When we pointed it out, there wasn't really an offer to send it back or comp it, so we just decided to take it to go and ordered the pizza afterward. Since we were taking the charcuterie with us, we asked for a bag to carry everything. The waitress came back with gallon-sized Ziploc bags, which honestly felt a little weird and kind of summed up the experience. I'm from San Francisco and went out of my way to try this spot, so it was pretty disappointing overall.
