The drinks are named after actual songs which is which is cool. I really enjoyed the So fresh So clean which was refreshing and not so sweet. Each drink is made with fresh ingredients. Their food menu is small but still has enough to choose from to snack on. The bartenders are knowledgeable about the drinks they serve and willing to help you pick the best drink for your taste. We did not get a chance to try the Alter Ego which is behind the curtain but next time.

Wow, I don't think I've written a review of a bar/lounge in like 10 years lol. Aging + having a kid…read morewill do that to you. Anyway, I met up with some friends here last weekend and we had a reservation at Alter Ego. I guess it's technically 2 places with Still OG. I have to say, I have really fond memories of Original Gravity from back in the day (ah, the days of my youth...) so it's nice that it's still sort of around though.. technically completely different since there's no more craft beer or duck fat fries lol. We hung out at our table for the whole night, like 4 hours. We all ordered cocktails off the menu and later on ordered some stuff off the menu based on the bartender's suggestion. I first ordered a Calabrian Spritz from the menu which hit the spot for me. Personally, I am not a hard alcohol fan but I enjoy wine and fun lil cocktails that are slightly sweet/not super strong lol. So this drink was nice because it wasn't too sweet and had a lot of volume (I like just sipping on stuff in general and it sucks when you order a cocktail that's like 3 sips of liquid and the rest is ice). The next cocktail I ordered was off the menu and called Like This or That (I think). I think it was some sort of passionfruit + vodka mix and very delicious! We also ordered the cold soba noodles and fries. Fries were crinkle cut and nicely crispy, no complaints. Soba noodles were also good, though some component of it was really spicy, I think the cucumbers. Overall I had a good time here and look forward to coming back, though given how little I go out, who knows when that will be haha.

This place just opened so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. Came here to watch a football game…read morewith some friends but it was week 3 and the only games they had on were the local games which was 2 of them. They didn't own the nfl package at the time and they didn't serve food yet. The staff was nice and helpful. While they didn't have all the games, this place wasn't packed which made it more comfortable. It's not the biggest coffee shop around but it's for sure one of the cleanest.

Here is one of the coolest gems in Downtown San Jose. This…read moreis not your standard bar this is the place to get drinks made properly. Every ingredient is fresh not pre made unless you get the on tap cocktails. When you walk in it has an inviting atmosphere and the Kaylen who is the bartender is welcoming to both regulars and those who are new to the bar. I had a drink called the Macintosh which is so refreshing but not overly sweet which I enjoyed.

My husband and I had a baby free night out to celebrate my birthday and haberdasher did not disappoint. We went soon after opening so there was no line but I know they tend to have one later in the evening. We were greeted warmly at the door by the attendant who checked our ids. I was even wished a happy early birthday. When going into the bar, you walk down a staircase into a space that makes you forget you're in downtown San Jose with beautiful reds and burgundy decor. The staff is all smartly dressed; the bartender and bar back were both sweet and funny. I ordered a jack rose (my all time favorite), their seasonal watermelon waltz (this may be a new favorite for me, nice and refreshing) and one of their zero proof cocktails called a Mariposa which was soooo good as well. My husband ordered a couple old fashioned and a watermelon waltz for himself. We had an amazing time and look forward to coming back in the future.

They had hyped it up quite a bit, so I came in with high expectations--and it lived up to them. We went on a Friday night and didn't even have to pay a cover, which was a great surprise. The inside had beautiful Japanese-inspired decor that gave the place a unique atmosphere, and even with how busy it was, everything felt well-maintained. The bathrooms were clean, which is always a plus. The staff were incredibly attentive and worked hard to make sure everyone was taken care of, even though the bar was absolutely packed. The DJ was amazing that night too! My friends and I spent most of our time on the dance floor because the music was so good. Overall, the energy, service, and atmosphere made for such a fun night out. Kaizen has officially become one of my favorite downtown spots, and I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm looking for a fun night with great vibes and good company.

Major hearing loss. - Drinks are served in plastic cups, not real mugs/glassware. - The quality of the buffet food was low. The rice in the musubi and fried rice was very overcooked and mushy. Other food was lacking flavor/spices. The regular dinner menu was not available.

What a good time at the Goodtime Bar! Came on a Tuesday after work around 6:30 for dinner with some…read morecoworkers and it was still pretty empty. They're a natural wine bar so of course we got some natural wine. I went with what the bartender suggested - orange wine which paired well with the rigatoni. Apps were yummy, I could eat 4-5 of their deviled eggs. Moules frites were a hit too, the sauce was delicious and would highly recommend dipping the fries in the sauce. I got the corn rigatoni which was heavy but also delicious. Crème bruleee was good but really wanted to try the panna cotta and they were out. Around 7:30, the place started getting packed and the music was getting progressively louder. Would be back but probably earlier in the day! Service was fast.

Came here once for my friend's birthday party. Him and his roommate bought a bottle; I didn't ask what they paid. I honestly got super drunk and enjoyed their live DJ who was playing dubstep while the TV screens were playing EDC sets The girls here are sooo hot. There were so many and such a wide variety! Some even had costumes on so if you like sexy nerds or bunnies, or whatever, you're going to like this place. A lot of ABGs as well. All the girls were super nice. When I arrived, I saw policemen talking to security at the door and then they just left... Makes me wonder what this place pays them haha. My friend's roommate got super drunk so my friend and I walked him out to make sure he got into his Uber safely. When we went back inside, they had already cleared our table! Even took our bottle! They said to us: "once you leave your table, you can't come back!" So that's why I'm giving this place 4 stars. Overall, since they force you to buy a bottle, you are for sure getting drunk and you are for sure going to have a GREAT time, because the music is lit and the girls are sexy! I will definitely have to go back soon!! To anyone who's wondering if there were any other girls whom were customers... no. I was the only girl haha. All the guys in there were definitely looking at me

Was in SJ and wanted a change of venue to watch the Warriors game. Headed here on Saturday, April…read more24th around 6pm. It was easy to get a table as the bar was only half filled. There are plenty of TVs showing various games, so we could watch the Warriors and Giants game at the same time. They have food and alcohol, so we ordered a couple of Heinekens and the Sampler plate ($30). The Heinekens were $4 each, but we caught the end of happy hour when we arrived, so we got one round at $2.50 each. We honestly had no idea it was HH, so that was a nice surprise. The Sampler plate came with six different items: Onion rings, French fries, Wings, Mozzarella cheese sticks, Chicken fingers and Breaded butterfly shrimp. Everything came fresh out of the fryer, but was very standard in taste. Not really worth $30, but at least we got variety. I wouldn't mind coming back to watch a game. It's clean, they have alcohol and there's a variety of cuisines on their menu. Nice place to chill and watch sports.
