Decently Priced Drinks - $ Hot Bartenders - $$$ Cool Owners - $$ Walking Distance From Home - Priceless The Galaxy is the kind of bar you go to to hang out with the locals, get coerced into twice as many drinks as you planned, tip the bartender extra so she'll put an extra shake into you drink, stick around for the restaurant crews to roll through, and if you're not an ass, get invited to the after-party so you can hate life the next day, but know it was worth it. In Summary: Good Times. read more

I love this bar! Every time I come I have the best time. My favorite is during karaoke. The bartenders are beautiful.. every single one of them are extremely sexy and friendly! Not sure what happened to this place, but the new owners are definitely doing an awesome job. The drinks are reasonable and delicious. I make new friends every time I come and there's always a good mix of different types of people. The best little dive bar I've been to in a while and I'll keep coming back! read more

came here after trying the blue note, but was similarly disappointed. I was looking for somewhere low-key to have a beer with a friend, but the music was so loud, it hurt my ears, from the parking lot. We did go inside, and showed our IDs to the bouncer, but there really wasn't anywhere to sit. there were maybe a dozen people there, various races, all men, and not particularly friendly looking. there was a small bench against a wall, but the environment was not conducive to a conversation. they do have a pool table. read more

Just your average dive bar... Met up with some knock around friends from yester year here for a drink or 5. I enjoyed my time there simply because I had the fortunate benefit of knowing the bartender at the time. Hello Miss! ;D read more

My 100th review. I'm so proud! My experiences with dive bars is practically nil, so forgive my lack of reference point. Let's go through my dive bar checklist, shall we? 1. Out of the way location. Check! 2. Located in a rundown strip mall. Check! 3. Disreputable characters loitering in the parking lot. Check! 4. Pool table. Check! 5. Jukebox. Check! 6. Pregnant (I think) and young bartendress. Check! 7. Surprisingly clean bathroom. Happily-Check! 8. Belvedere on the shelf. CHECK!! 9. Strong pour. DOUBLE CHECK!!! I didn't have a clue on costs because my drink was paid for, but I'm assuming it was very reasonable. I would definitely pay a return visit, but I wouldn't go alone, fo' sho'. read more

The sweet smell of VOMIT right when I step through the doors.. mmmMm... Good ol' Milpitas never fails. This place reminds me of CHEERS! I assume everyone there knows your name, or if they don't, YOU will definitely know a few by the end of the night. Demographic was very mixed. All ages & nationalities. You can find your average businessman sitting right next to a person that looks like an ex-convict. We are all in our mid-twenties and my friend met an eithty-year old man singing KARAOKE!!! Everyone together, singing Kumbaya and having a grand ol' time. 3 stars is just about right. read more

Came here on a recommendation from the bartender at Dave & Buster's when they gave up their liquor license for 10 days due some court case. The place was pretty empty on a Wednesday evening but there was plenty of seating. We all had a few drinks away from the bar , just catching up on lives and so forth. The music was loud but it was good times. Just another dive bar that's pretty chill. read more

Need a shot on Sunday morning (10 am) after attending 9 o'clock mass? "It's such a beautiful day! Let's go to the Mystery Spot." Okay... but first we needed to alter our senses. So, we go to the bar down the street from church. It's cute. The bartender was talking to the biker guy about Harley's. So my friend decides to join in the conversation and talks about his Escalade. They're cool people, so they just let him talk. But then the rounds begin. So we're buying the biker guy a round, and then he returns the favor, and it keeps going..... Did we make it to the Mystery Spot? Yes. Did I make it through the Mystery Spot? No. Stay tuned for my Mystery Spot review. Update: http://www.yelp.com/biz/c06X_gEZHHT_JhtzCSmOyA?hrid=sEO12qPSKhkOu0MkaVjbsQ read more

I have been there a couple of times Iand I am been treated good. The atmosphere is nice there

I love the bartenders Tina, Alice and Priscilla. I could also put up with the urinal being broken for 6 months but when i can't wash my hands... If you don't care about your place why should I. read more

The G - Dive Bars Near Me - Milpitas, California

This is the dump of all dive bars. Please stay away from this place if you value your health. From poor job of washing the glasses to bartenders not washing thier hands when they really need too. The mens bathroom stunk real bad, the bartop was sticky, and your feet would almost stick to the carpet when you tried to walk around or out of the place. They have cheap drinks, could be even cheaper from what I see around town at other dive bars. And to my amazement, the darn female owner got up ontop of the bar with a skirt on and started to dance seductively. That was too disgusting to look at. Not sure what the smell is in the bar. Might be the bartender or maybe a couple patrons need to take a shower. Overall all I would have to give this place a 1.5 rating, needs alot of work here. P.S. This is my third time trying to post here. The owners keep taking it down to protect thier divehole.. Should spend more effort to cleanup the place. read more

Fuck this place reminds me of home. A lot of good people that get along, smiles everywhere... everyone greets you, says hi. When I want to get away from everyone else- this is my spot. I haven't seen anyone come in and start shit yet, but I'm sure, if you did, you'd have a dozen ppl on your ass... even with security present. BONUS: I kinda hijack the music a lot and no ones shot me yet. read more

This review is best prefaced with a fact that inoculates a particular bias into my subjections. If presented with an Alcoholic's Sophie's choice regarding a decision between one establishment to patron and one to demolish; I will always favor the glorious dive bar! I will gladly pass-by the night club and sidestep the trendy sports bar/ lounge to rest my ass on a, slightly wobbly - always rickety, dive bar stool. Beit a path less taken, beit overgrown with shrubbery and and obstacles, any path is worth transversing if the right Dive lie at it's end. The unfortunate truth of it all, the American Dive Bar is becoming a fleeting memory only preserved in the nostalgic ramblings of your local drunkard. That said, the modern day heroes at the "G Spot," formally identified as Galaxy, are doing their part to drum beats into an otherwise failing heart. I strongly recommend this location to any and all millennial, ETOH enthusiasts. I do so not because you'll find other like minded, age appropriate connections. I do so to help you catch a glimpse of true Americana before it evaporates into the cages of Google images and Wikipedia. I think the young drinker would be doing themselves a great disservice, if their only experience with a dive bar is watching Gremlin's trash one (seeing they are able to sit through a low-tech 80's film) or Netflix & Chilling to re-runs of Sam Malone and Diane What's-Her-Face. I have faith that our youth will venture, for at least a peak, the way one goes out of ones way to behold the threatened panda bear at the zoo. As with all endangered species, America's Dive Bar's are frantically attempting to adapt. They appear to be flaring about in a desperate grab at any alternative options like a Gazel deying it's mortality even while ensnared in the lion's jaw. G Spot is no different. While the beloved traditions of the dive flourish during the weekdays, the same cannot be said of weekendd. Although I sympathize with the drive to succeed, I strongly doubt hiring an octogenarian-DJ is the wisest move. In addition, said Jocky need not crank the outpouring audio to a decibel that surpasses the conversations between customers. Truth be told, I pray that this hidden gem turns from the path taken by so many dives that came (and went) before them. My prayers ask that the brave soldiers at the G Spot embrace who they are. My prayers beg that if changes there must be; those changes only serve to exacerbate the essence and culture of a Dive Bar. Perhaps they can toss broken, used peanut shells on the floor as part of nightly decorating. Maybe they can offer a drink special: One Tall Can Wrapped Snug in A Brown Bag and One Pickled Egg. The ideas are boundless. Although the suggestions may appear kitsch, they are dramatically less so than dancehall / night club transformations. There is nothing unique about my suggested model. It's born from the sage wisdom of early 90's hip-hop: "Shake what ya' mama gave ya'" This bold approach will surely entice a younger crowd, while keeping your regulars. What getts millennials off faster than authenticity? Nothing, that's what. From Craft-Micro Breweries to Farm-to-Table dining, the more authentic the better. One could proudly serve hot plates of bovine droppings if the the restaurant captured the right vibe. Dive Bar's need not strive to such extremes. As long as the G Spot builds upon it's true, natural, and original charisma; we might find ourselves standing on the precipice of a drinker's Renaissance! However, if they continue to kick proverbial rocks down a heavily trafficed and tragic road in an effort to become something they are not, my next article will most assuredly be it's eulogy. read more

Oh yes, I'm mos'def a fan of anywhere random people will buy you drinks just for sitting next to them. It probably helps that I have boobs, but hey - free drinks, are free drinks.... and I think all parties involved knew that our pleasantries would only extend to the point of a high 5. Possibly. It's kinda hard to find, but that's ok, I don't want any DnB lovers to find their way here. Everytime I go here, the bartenders have had to throw out a very inebriated patron or two. In which case, said patron usually just lingers around the front door... cause in drunk-speak, the doorway IS home. Points for the juke box, touch screen games with the naughty pictures and pool table. Luvs it! Don't eat the popcorn, the bowl just gets passed around and not emptied to frequently. I'm a huge fan of washing my hands, but EEk..... Drinks are cheap and stiff! Oh... and be sure to donate a dollar to the wall. Living in infamy at Galaxy is all I care about in this world. Before I go, be careful leaving Galazy, Mipitas PD like to case the joint. So let's review: free drinks from toof'less guys = creepy, but fun. Hard to find but better than DnB's. Bring your own popcorn. WASH YOUR HANDS!! Naughty picture game!!! Leave a dollar on the wall and a couple on the bar. Take a cab. =D read more

Great place to get a drink. Bartender was awesome and the choice of music was decent. Love how divey the bar felt and was a very calm atmosphere. Will defiantly be coming back read more

The G - This was our bartender. Great personality and bar tending skills. Made my girlfriends birthday great but was a total tool. - Dive Bars Near Me - Milpitas, California

I haven't been feeling very Yelpy lately. Don't know why, just haven't been feeling the computer and Yelp's seductive urge too much as of late.... But a festive little trip to this place put me in the mood... Yep yep this little dive is a gem. Perhaps it was the gin I sipped. I'm not a huge gin drinker. Nope. I'll drink it but when I do I enjoy it. And take damn near forever to finish it. I know it's annoying to some but me and gin take a very kind, cautious and appreciative approach to our relationship. It's how we are. And it let's me be observant for to stuff to write about. There is definatly a sense of community in this place. Everyone seems to know everyone and they're cool with new faces too. They've packed as much as they could into a small space--pool table, darts, one of those jukeboxes that you can find almost anything under the sun on. Don't you hate it when the search engine comes up empty...it's like "no damn it! I know this song exists! I'm sure of it! Watch I'll sing it to you now! La la la la la! Now you sing it back to me the way I want you to!" Speaking of singing, a couple of nights a week they do kareoke. After a few beers, I do kareoke. I've gotten over my dislike of kareoke I've carried for the last few years (long story short: coworker helped run a kareoke company as a 2nd job, she practiced A LOT at her 1st job=one pissy little V). I won't reveal what horrifying selections were chosen but damn you alcohol and damn both of the guilty parties involved!!! As far as the alcohol selections go I gotta be honest, they don't have much in terms of beer on tap (3 taps and one is Budwiser?!? Raise your hand I'm confused) and not a huge list of options for bottle. In fact judging by the amount of Budwiser advertisement posters and that oh yeah there was a keg of it in the bathroom (?!?) they sell a lot of it. They do carry a healthy liquor selection though. There also a random Happy Birthday banner hanging above the bar. I don't know why but this makes me happy. And so did this place for a random Tuesday night out. read more

As far as wee li'l dives go, this one is jam-packed with character. I'd always drive by this place and never gave it much thought, but after one fateful night in late '07, I'd find myself gravitating back to th' Galaxy more often during nights entirely devoted to hoppin' bars before things begin to blur. I've yet to encounter an unfriendly crowd here. They have karaoke going on most nights and once in awhile you might luck upon a themed bachelorette party that would look totally out of place most anywhere else BUT here. read more

This is definitely not what I expected from Milpitas hahah. My co-workers wanted to go here because they had karaoke. Unfortunately, I couldn't convince the girls to sing at the end! They became shy! Galaxy definitely has their usuals and they were all a little out there but really friendly. They have specials for drinks that are pretty cheap. My friends had a decent time here. It's not the young crowd or club scene type of bar but I didn't mind stopping by there. read more

OK so I've been coming here for over a decade good times and good friends . say high to Alice she is a blast and not to bad on the eyes . pool table darts beer pong table . read more

The G - Peace, love and dranks! - Dive Bars Near Me - Milpitas, California

The owner is a sweetheart and the drinks are delicious!!!!! The prices are fair and they have Karaoke on Friday nights and Djs on some other nights. The atmosphere is chill and the bartenders are all gorgeous. (the owner is the hottest) LOL but ya good service. I love this place. I recommend the margaritas ayyy read more

One of the best bars in Milpitas! The drinks are cheap and the people are not scary. The regulars at this bar are all extremely friendly and welcoming. They don't give you nasty glances like some of the other sketchy people who hang out in dive bars. It is a cool place to come chill with a few friends, and maybe shoot some pool. I tend to avoid this place on karaoke nights because the place is small and wreaks havoc on my delicate eardrums. read more

This is a great dive bar & no type of crowd to be exact which I love! Decent priced drinks & the blonde bartender ROCKS! She's cute, friendly & just overall awesome :) They now have a DJ which is pretty cool as well. read more

This place wasn't so bad, but I'm not "planning" a return visit. Which might even be true of all dive bars, you kinda end up there-its not the destination of the night. They have a pool table-$1.00. You step outside and smoke and come right back in without being carded excessively. The bartender was an attractive who leaned in at just right angle to maintain the attention of my guy friend. They had three TVs. My boyfriend called it a "biker bar" but there were only a couple biker types outside and mostly college-age couples dancing to the outrageously deafening music. There was a very enthusiastic DJ playing the kind of music that I would expect in a dance club. We went on a Saturday a little after midnight-so maybe it was a special dance night....? If it had been quieter, we would have stayed for more than one game of pool. read more

So I'm from Ohio. I dont do the tourist areas as I am a traveller. I stopped in to this bar and it was one of tbe funnest times I have had in a very long time. Very diverse crowd as typical in this area. Cheap drinks. And a pool table. Deffinantly a good place to stop for a few drinks. read more

I love coming here while getting my hair did next door. Bartenders Tina & Priscilla are awesome! Love that they have Lotto Hotspot here. read more

The G - Dive Bars Near Me - Milpitas, California

Galaxy seems to upgrade the bar appearance every week. Slowly, the place looks better and better. I expect it to get busier than the happy hour crowd soon. Happy hour makes the beers and drink worth stopping in. May need some takeout from next door again so I don't have to leave. read more

Kiki was awesome!!!! i love her. Great customer service and great at showing you a first good time!!!! Definitely going back.!!!

Total dive in Milpitas...definitely nothing like the crowd you'll find at Dave & Busters on a Saturday night. Drinks are cheaper. They did play top 40 music though. First time I've ever seen a PREGNANT bartender...but I guess it just worked at this bar. read more

First time in here and I must say, the bartenders (Alycia and Diana)* where both really nice and friendly. quick service aswell. And both very attentive.. I like the music they play and they had kareoke which I thought was really cool! I didn't think Much of it from the looks outside but inside its very nice!. Definitely will return with friends! read more

AWFUL. The head woman will hustle you for as much as she can. Came here twice & got hustled to buy bottle service. She put us in the front next to the crappy dj & when we requested to move tables she yelled at us and told us to "pay right now." Trashy girls, shady cartel looking customers, HORRENDOUS management. read more

I came here to have a couple drinks and play darts. I ended getting a free Jameson shot and met a couple of awesome bartender. I think it was Alycia and her cousin is also a bartender there who dropped in to drink that night. Funny thing, she got me to take the shot and she took off not taking hers. She wanted me to get drunk and take me home or something..LOL..The cousins were lovely and funny. Besides darts, we ended up shooting pool and the fellows that we were up against had great personality. They were just grooving to hip hop in the early 90's. Old school! Anyways, cool dive bar. read more

Came with some friends, there was some argument, we decided to leave. That about sums it up. No one carded us at the entrance so I'm assuming they don't have a bouncer. read more

Very interesting dive bar. I don't live too far from here & have only been here twice. I must say though they do serve some proper drinks. Tricia made our drinks pretty strong. I would have given this place 5 stars but the sketchy characters in this hood kinda made me feel sketchy myself....have fun!!!!!! read more

This is the place to go on a thursday night. Its a little dive bar in the corner on main st. Lots of locals that love to have fun. Whats also great is that they have kareoke!!! who doesn't love that. The bartender reyna is great and sometimes sings too. I even got to sing a madonna song with her haha. Beware lots of cops around there during closing so drink responsibly read more

this bar is like my CHEERS. I know alot of the people there and always feel welcomed by the crowd and the bartenders are fucking awesome. even if ur new to the place i believe u will feel welcome and want to come back. the bartenders rayna and courtney are two of the best in the biz. they know how to pour a drink for being as young as they are, i was pleasantly surprised when i tasted my drinks actually i was shocked i didnt think they had enough experience making drinks because of their age but these girls in the early twenties know how to pour a drink! They make drinks way better then alot of older bartenders that have hella experience. i used to be a bartender so when i say RAYNA AND COURTNEY know what they are doing i mean it. so go down to the galaxy and tell them tammy said ur the bomb make me a drink! i recommend the washington apple one of my favorites! read more

Good place for a weekend hangout and nice drinks. Bartenders Katie and Courtney are very friendly. The music on weekends is good. Some time I ask to play Bollywood music. read more

Galaxy is a little dive bar located in a run down strip mall a few blocks from the Great Mall. The crowd is very diverse and the patrons are very friendly. You can enjoy the jukebox, pool table, computer card games and karaoke depends on what mood you are in. The karaoke on Thursday night and boy that DJ can sing Johnny Cash! There's food on Sunday afternoon (don't ask me why I was there on a Sunday afternoon). Drinks are cheap and the bathroom is always clean so that;s a plus. It is definitely one of my favorite dive in Milpitas. read more
