    Cool place to visit after walking the Campbell Farmers Market. Fairly busy at 12:45 on a Saturday but still no problem getting served or finding a spot to hang out. They have bar, indoor, & outdoor seating and a kitchen if you're hungry. All ages are here & families grabbing a bite but it's 21+ after 9pm. A mix of music is playing inside & outside, it's Durand Jones & the Indicators at the moment followed by CCR. Give it a try & see what you think.

    hit the spot! got 2 Sando's and the hummus bites and everything was so amazing. food took a minute but boy was it worth it. the pita bread was hot and the sandwiches were the perfect lunch. I wish I lived closer so I could make this a regular spot of mine!

    We stopped her after a short shopping trip. Spontaneously decided to try a new place for a beer. We walked in and the manager, Courtney, noticed us and handed us a menu versus having to look at the screen that was scrolling too quickly to read what there drink options were. Courtney was very pleasant and was thoughtful to let me taste the cider before choosing it. The bar was completely full. That's great to see for any for any restaurant you walk into. I had a delicious hard cider, it wasn't sweet at all! Loved it! My boyfriend had an Oatmeal stout. He also enjoyed his choice. We sat outside on their high chair seating patio! It's very quaint outdoors with the covered patio and the breeze flowing in. Plenty of street parking. We were there just after 1pm on a Saturday afternoon. There's a Farmers Market that's happening right there next to Taplands. I'd definitely plan to stop in after a stroll at the Farmers Market. It was a nice treat! Looking forward to another cider!

    Great place to grab some beers, kick back, and enjoy the game on tv. Food is also pretty tasty, I got the Big Joe sandwich and it left me plenty satisfied. Staff here is super friendly and nice and helped give me great recommendations for beers and food. Awesome place if you want a cool, modern place with good ambiance and good drinks!

    Great place with new selection of beers everyday. they were doing bingo and I won a t-shirt on completing someone else bingo card lol. Matt and Chris are great and always welcoming ! There are some regulars who are always pleasant company and the place has varied seating including comfy couches and games to play with good for groups. And yes Santa Clara has its own downtown !

    Charcuterie, pita points and olives
    John O.

    Awesome beer selection at this beer bar with light food. The place was very popular on a Friday night. It is near a college campus and Jesuits aren't Baptists. Hallelujah! The low rating is for a kitchen that is clearly overwhelmed. It took 40 minutes to get a charcuterie plate and pita with dips. None of our food needed to be cooked. The kitchen really needs to be streamlined especially since they are starting a no outside food policy. One place to start is by not heating the olives. I've never been serviced hot olives before and they are not better for it. But by all means come here for a beer or three.

    Delicious micheladas

    I can't believe I haven't reviewed Taplands yet! My husband and I come here all the time since it is in walking distance from us. Taplands always has a great selection of beers from across the state as well as other states. And they sometimes have their own brews on the menu as well, so look out for them! In the way of food, check their Instagram to find out about upcoming food trucks schedules...we have always found something good, and they consistently have great taco trucks. Also, they host events here from time to time, and they also will do fun themed things sometimes like beer cocktails and micheladas (using a delicious local mix from Gilroy!). It can get quite busy here, but we have not had trouble finding a spot--everyone who comes here is generally friendly, and people are happy to make room. Bathrooms are clean, and beertenders are nice too. I hear they host trivia, so need to come soon for that!

The ambiance is very welcoming as all the patrons are typically locals. I am leaving a one star review based on a consistent pattern of outright rudeness from the red haired bartender at the Campbell location. She is not only consistently rude and combative, but today in particular took it upon herself to add a hefty tip that we did authorize (additionally we bought two four packs and took them to go so it was not a sit in situation). We returned to remedy this and the other bartender was very helpful. However I was told it's "pretty common for us to add a 20% tip" if a customer walks away before the tip screen is presented. As a long time food service and viticulture employee I can tell you definitively that this is NOT industry standard, and is a blatant violation of the law. While automatic gratuity is something establishments can opt to do, it is illegal for a server or waiter to add an unauthorized non mandatory tip. Check your receipts and avoid the redheaded bartender as she has no integrity or customer service skills. It is deeply unfortunate that such a nice establishment has been marred by the illegal and misguided actions of one individual.

Fox Tale Fermentation is a small place like a Japanese ramen shop. My high school classmate suggestion this place and I thought she was vegetarian. I asked her why this place; she wanted to try it out but she's a meat eater. I'm down to try new places so we went. When we went, it was really crowded for a Thursday dinner time. A lady saw my cane and offer her table to sit at so I felt seen. You pretty much order at the front counter; you pour your own water. Front counter was so nice to us as we try to order. We got the funk salad and kombucha. We didn't order a lot because we wanted to try the place. When we got to our table, it was near the door. Our funk salad came and it was hefty mf. It was a bowl of salad all right. So you know how I said earlier that I don't like vegetarian food? OMG I was amazed. The best salad I've eaten. The vinaigrette was so good; it was citrusy. My salad was cut into small pieces so it wasn't big that I need to cut it. The sweet potato was sauteed. The princess sauerkraut was so good. I don't like sauerkraut at all but it was divine. I never tried kombucha because I thought it was dirt tea. I was wrong. It has the fermented taste and I never knew. After trying it, it's not something I would order again. I liked how I was eating "healthy" food after I ate bad yesterday. I don't have that bad bloated feeling. It's very wheelchair friendly and restroom is unisex. The restroom is clean.

The food took a little longer than usual to come out but that was normal considering how busy they were. Our order included the Funk Bowl and Funky Nachos, these are our go-to's because they're so good and filling. This time around we decided to also try the Otoño tacos, this is officially my favorite dish here and I'm hoping it never goes away! The ingredients in this dish work perfectly together and the crema is absolutely delicious, I would definitely buy a jar of this if I could.
