The food here is so good. Not typical bar food. Try the angry prawns if you like seafood. Tasty and it is served with polenta which I never cook myself, nice to have something different on the side.

I came here on a Monday so the place was not bumpin' but their Pork Sliders were Kick-Ass! Really nice looking bar. I would definitely come back if I'm in San Jose.

The angry prawns were awesome, sliders were outstanding and the burnt tips. This place is amazing. Awesome selection of very hard to find beers.

Super hip gastro pub. You could find the next Mark Zucherberg here on a Friday night.

Had the pork chops with polenta. Sold! The sauce was delicious. Can't wait to go back to explore more of the menu.

Chef Matt has launched a fantastic line of summer salads for lunch. Try the grilled chicken salad with arugula, brie and grilled pears. YUMMY!

Hidden gem in downtown San Jose. $3.50 draft lagunitas/full boar during happy hour. Small intimate place with a nice outdoor patio as well.

Get the bone in Pork Chop, wonderfully juicy and flavorful. Don't get much if the green apple sauce but didn't even matter.

Roasted bone marrow is sooo good here!

Not gonna beat around the bush: this place is awesome. Good food by day and raucous bottle smashing nightlife, literally. I'm from Portland, OR but damn it puts our bars to shame.

We shared brunch on Sunday. The deconstructed sloppy joe. Flavor on a plate.

You can't go wrong with the Duke burger and a pint of Lagunitas IPA

The Old Fashioned was a little too sweet imo.
Jules CMay 18, 2013
keep in mind that they CLOSE the kitchen at 10pm, so make sure you order a bigger dinner than a tiny winny salad :(
Shannon CoulsonMay 19, 2016
The mac and cheese is pretty stellar!
Amira SamahaJuly 4, 2010
Food is great here, they'll give you a mountain of fries and chicken if you get the chicken tenders.. Never dissapointed with their menu :)

Pork chop and bone marrow were excellent, but the mac and cheese was very mediocre... tasted like velveeta.
