We were walking in the area trying to figure out where to go next and stumbled upon this place where our friend heard good things about. We decided to give it a try. Surprisingly, there was no line (we went at a good time, a little before 10pm), but we waited a bit until we were able to find seats for our large group. The vibes are different (in a good way). Truly felt like we were in the early 1900s. Drinks are good! read more

Haberdasher - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Jose, California

I came on a Sunday night and it was packed! Parking was all street parking which was also pretty full. No wait for entry and we just found a counter to sit at until a booth opened. This bar is underground and they blast the air so it gets pretty cold. Menus are all QR and you go to the bar to order. Barista was great but took about 10min to order and 5min for drinks since there's only 2 baristas for the whole place which had a bunch of seating and it was a full house with many large groups so you can expect a longer wait on more packed days. 7/10 Golden Genmai $16 - Apricot flavor was strong and sweet. Not too special of a drink but also not bad. 6.5/10 Putter Up $16 - Passion fruit flavor was masked by the grapefruit and the mix was just more of an ok drink because you couldn't taste either separately. Still a refreshing drink with a pinch of sourness. 7/10 Sweet Stache $16 - uses a whole egg beaten in with a mixer so it's quite creamy. Flavor wise it's comparable to the first one but hard to describe. Not a bad try. 5/10 Matcha Flip $17 - off menu item that I asked for. It also uses a whole egg and has the same creamy consistency but their matcha used is low quality. Matcha strength was low, taste was bitter and a bit artificial.

Heard lots of good things about Haberdasher so decided to check it out on a Saturday around 6pm! Friend got the Year of the Snake and I wasn't sure what to get so I asked the bartender recommendations for someone who usually likes sweet and fruity cocktails. She concocted something called the Leena Leigh (?) - whatever it was called, it was delicious! Friend like her drink as well. I wish they had a happy hour menu as drinks are a bit pricey ($15-$18). Vibes were good, this spot transports you to the 1920s. Would return! read more

I love this place! Came here on a first date, me dressed up and he tall, dark, and handsome. The cocktails were wonderful, and definitely put us in 'the mood'! The only downside was the doorman calling me "man'. Please respect! read more

A few friends and I went to grab drinks at Haberdasher after dinner around 10PM. There was a short wait, but it was a chill, speakeasy spot in downtown San Jose. Once you enter, you walk down a flight of stairs into the basement to find a vivacious crowd of people hanging out, drinking, and socializing. The bar staff are great and very accommodating. It's pretty spacious with many tables and seating areas to set your drink down. The entire space is warm and welcoming. Most importantly, the drinks are well made and taste delicious! read more

very chill dim light dark bar and the bathroom gives 50s vibes i love :33333333333333333

All I can say is GREAT establishment! The staff was so inviting, my wife and I were blown away. From security to the bar staff, they did not miss on the customer service. The decor is definitely speakeasy style with the low lighting to add to the ambiance. Add to the fact that their drinks are top flight, patronizing this place should be on the top of your list when in the DTSJ area. *tips* The Palomas and Moscow Mules on tap are FIRE and try copping a squat in the back booths. They make you feel like a VIP! read more

Haberdasher - Prohibition style pub. Chill vibe and great underground tunes. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Jose, California

I love this bar, whether I come alone or with friends! They have an indoor and outdoor area with plenty of seating however, we keep in mind that it is a bar and can get pretty crowded. The bar is in an industrial area, that can be kind of nice because there's always plenty of parking available. read more

It's been many years since I've been to Haberdasher. I used to go to this location frequently before it was known as Haberdasher too. I don't hang around this part of DTSJ much anymore, so it fell off the radar for me. Recently, we were killing a bit of time and decided to stop by. The atmosphere and cocktails were great. It feels a bit more casual than in years past. The Tie Tea was seriously tasty; it reminded me a lot of a traditional Thai tea but refined and dialed back on the sugar. The Golden Genmai was like a highball with apricot flavor. Refreshing and easy to drink. This was a great visit and I'm for sure going to keep this in my back pocket when visiting downtown. read more

One of our favorite place to try some new cocktails in the bay area. I'm a lightweight drinker and generally do not like the taste or smell of most alcohol. A lovely bartender asked me for my preferences in drinks and recommended Paradise Flip. It was so creamy and sweet, it quickly became my new favorite cocktail. Will love to come back and try some new cocktails. The vibe of the place is very cozy and 1920s. Do come earlier on weekends if you would like to grab a booth as it gets busy. read more

Every time my partner and I are in downtown San Jose, he always mentions Harberdasher and how he so badly wants to check out their drinks. Fast forward almost a year later, we finally made it a mission to come out and drink here. It's a speakeasy bar where you go down some stairs and enter a red, dimly lit room. There are open table seats for those without reservations and a closed off booth seating area for those with rezzies. Harberdasher has amazing bartenders as well as seasonal drinks. There were certain drinks I ordered based off what the menu had said ingredients were (Sweet 'Stache), and it did not taste like what I was hoping. I have had drinks with similar ingredients but Harberdasher's take on it was just not my palette. And...... Unfortunately, they gave us the wrong credit card when we checked out. When we tried to call, no one picked up so we were unsure if our card was still there. We had to come back at the end of our night and just hoped our credit card was still there, which it was. (whew!!) Worth coming in and tasting their drinks. Just double check you get the right CC at the end of the night. read more

Their needs to be more places like this! Really takes you back in time. Also reminds you of hidden comedy club in the city of New York...My co worker and I came here on a Thursday night and there was a line to get in. Don't worry, it wasn't that long of a wait. Btw.Every first Thursday of the month there is live music and entertainment. The service was very friendly and honestly they can make any drink your heart desires. Beck's was our mixologist/ bartender that night and she made each drink with so much finesse.... Seriously I wanted to keep ordering more but had to head home. Time flies here... We ordered: The Paloma 10/10 with fresh grapefruit juice- highly recommend! Watermelon drink 10/10 Strawberry and coconut 10/10 The bathrooms decor was so cool and fit the theme and very clean for a bar... Definitely will be coming back and telling family & friends. read more

Wonderful cocktail bar, drinks were the best we had all night. Service was solid and everyone was helpful given they were likely understaffed. Ambiance is nice and the hat theme is very cute. I would definitely come back. This place was chosen strictly off Yelp reviews, but because of this I believe it was a great choice. Sesame peanuts were absolutely fantastic I have no idea where they got those from but I could eat them forever. Cocktails were great fresh green, sweet and savory, really have never had anything like it. read more

Haberdasher offers a solid speakeasy atmosphere with classic furnishings and some unique touches, like old newspaper wallpaper in the bathroom. The bartenders are friendly, and the seating works well for groups. Drinks are well made, with a good mix of classics and some creative options such as the genmai whisky. The watermelon cocktail is worth trying. Lines can get long, so it's best as an early or late stop. read more

Love the ambiance and music here. Played mostly jazz and neo soul music. Can be a bit hard to find seating but they only let a limited number of people down there. Mixture of bar stools and booths. All the drinks were super unique and reasonably priced. Great for a date night spot but music can be loud (depending on where you sit) read more

Haberdasher is definitely a Downtown SJ staple! If you're visiting for the first time I would recommend booking a reservation. Especially during the weekends or evenings as it gets pretty busy! A great date location as well - not too loud & great for conversation, the vibe is great too! You can also be as casual or fancy you want to be. Im an old fashion snob and Haberdasher ALWAYS does it right here. It's all in the ice. The girls that get, get it. The change the menu every now and then. However, they have over 100(?...I think it might be more? Or less?) in the back of their pockets! So if you tell the them what you're craving and thinking, they'll customize it for you. Also....there isn't any food here. Except some chips. So BEWARE. Do not come to this place with an empty stomach. Otherwise you'll end up like me....drunk after 2 cocktails. Ha! read more

I'm definitely someone who seeks out historic themed, speakeasy type bars, and Haberdasher does not disappoint! Their rotating drink menu is very reliable to order off of; I've never had a less than tasty drink. I absolutely delight in how the staff is uniformed. The bartenders especially seem like they enjoy the ambiance themselves and take care in crafting every drink. The music fits the vibe, so that deserves major points for me and my tastes. The snacks are good too! Can't go wrong with flavored nuts. The location of the bar itself is perfect for taking the night else where or grabbing street food and resuming the night at Haberdasher. I would come here to work on my novel if I was writing a novel. read more

Came here right after a concert at the Ritz and the cocktails are so good! We ordered the Watermelon Waltz and Mango Tango. Drinks are in the $15~ range. I don't go to the bars often because I don't like the taste of alcohol, but the workers here recommended me some great drinks based on my preferences! Shoutout to Matthew because he was really friendly and nice! I ordered the Watermelon Waltz per his recommendation. The ambience here is pretty cozy and intimate. It's a type of place where you want to sit down with friends, chat & drink. This my second time here and I'd come back if I'm in the area. read more

Super cute speakeasy located in DTSJ! I have never heard of this bar until my friend brought it up to me and I was intrigued by it. There's no name of the bar outside of the building so when we arrived, I was confused because I thought it was the wrong place. When we arrived at 8:45 PM on a Friday night, there was already a long line out the door but luckily my friend had a reservation and we were able to be seated promptly. The bar is actually downstairs and you're immediately greeted with vintage gentleman decor from the 1920s-1930s. It was super spacious indoors and even if you didn't have a reservation, there was plenty of standing and sitting space and I loved how it didn't feel crowded at all. The reservations area is blocked off and there were plenty of tables and seats for everybody. It's definitely a nice spot to catch up with some friends and even a date night. The drinks I tried were really pleasant! Though they were on the pricey side of cocktails, I thoroughly enjoyed mine. My cocktail was from the Maui Relief Fund category which if you ordered from that list, they'll donated their proceeds to Maui which I loved. My friend ordered a creamy & milk like drink which I enjoyed more than mine since it reminded me so much of a milk candy I had when I was a child. Overall, I would definitely come back here again and I'm glad to have been introduced to this spot. read more

TLDR: Amazing speakeasy offering great cozy ambience, specialized (seasonal) cocktail and great bar personnel! Been wanting to try the place for a while but we're always discouraged with the wait times during peak hours. Eventually tried Haberdasher for a Date Night (went in early in the evening and there was absolutely no wait) during the Holidays and they had such a wonderful atmosphere with their red curtains and warm lamps. Their seasonal warm drinks were great - not too sweet and just the right amount of hot to enjoy without burning your tongue. Highly recommended for a nice evening. read more

After dinner on a Thursday night, homie and I were looking for a place to get drinks. I've heard of this place and was closeby, decided to give it a try. There is someone to check ID and you walk through a hallway down a flight of stairs to the basement. Full bar with over 390+ drinks they can make. Only 30 drinks on the menu. Bartenders are super skilled and can custom a drink to what you prefer: sweet, spicy, smoky, etc. We had Becky for our bartender and she was phenomenal. Answere all our questions and twirled those shakers so well it was straight out of a mixology class. Almonds were addicting with a mix of hint of cayenne. Semi-intimate setting, a group of 10 came in no problem but a very peaceful and nice night here. Highly recommend read more

we finally tried Haberdasher after getting several recommendations. we had a great time! it's got speakeasy vibes - basement level, dark and pretty intimate. we got an old fashioned (uniquely and pleasantly citrusy!) and the Oaxaca Traffic Jam. My husband does prefer a more spirit-forward Old Fashioned, so while he did enjoy Haberdasher's twist, it's not his favorite. Definitely recommend, and we'll certainly be back! read more

Such a cool spot tucked away Downtown SH. The haberdasher definitely provides a scenic speakeasy. Decor and lighting are right on board for the ambiance. Service was top notch and again to the T when it came to customer service, no long waits or awkward conversations. The cocktails were amazing, very inventive and full bodied. Definitely would go back. read more

Service was great. Cocktails made to order were great. Sorry to say the premade specialty cocktails weren't to my liking, but they did make an effort to redo the drink and I really appreciated that. read more

Okkkkk I see you now! Been a cool 6 years since I've been back. Menu has changed and I'm sure it's changed many a time before. Drinks were all great this time and loved the risk/creativity on some of em. Hello hielo and Mando tango are nice fruity and slightly creamy/frothy safer choices. Tried the primavera as well. Also good, not my cup of tea but def well made. My favorite would have to be the sunomono. Tastes delicious and one of the most unique drinks out there! Literally kinda tastes like a Japanese sesame salad. I've been to many cocktail bars and you won't find that anywhere. Sweet stache was really interesting. Also a lil funky. Def try it if you're looking for like a Turkish delight flavor in a drink. Overall, haberdasher has made a believer out of me and I'll def be back! read more

Friendly staff and good drinks equals fantastic bar. Haberdasher has taken the spot of my favorite bar in San Jose. I'm not sure what was there before... but it's now Haberdasher. The first impression was fantastic, with a bouncer that was extremely friendly, polite, but still on top of things (saw someone get unfortunately denied entry due to an expired license...) . So be prepared. They do card here and won't make exceptions. Once inside, I appreciated the speakeasy atmosphere and also the fact that the music was not too loud. The vibe was there, but you can still talk with your friends. Bartenders were also extremely friendly and made great suggestions for drinks that ultimately became tasty cocktails. My guess is that you probably have to make a reservation for weekends, but on a weeknight, it was perfect spot to walk in for a few drinks. I look forward to returning. read more

Great drinks! Great ambiance (feels like you have entered a tailor's shop - something similar to Kingsman). Services was good too! The queues get a bit insane on the weekends but I had good luck getting in immediately around 7P. read more

This place is lit. Its an underground speakeasy sort of bar which offers unique seasonal cocktails and mocktails - the bar tender will make sure to serve you right according to your taste. No reservations mostly walkins , and its a mind blowing experience to be there with colleagues/friends. We tried their watermelon seasonal cocktails and trust me we loved it. read more

Came here with a group of friends on the recommendation from one of them who grew up in the area and still resides in SJ. If you're planning a visit on a Friday or Saturday, you'll want to try to secure reservations. Upon walking down the stairs, past the bar, and into the seating area, you will see a sign pointing you to the left for no reservations seating and the slightly larger section to the right side are for parties with a reservation. Stopped on through on an early Friday evening last month(with reservations) and the first thing I noticed is they're in an underground layout with red walls, red curtains and a dimly lit vibe. Fun fact, my friend told me he used to come here back in the day, when there was break-dancing going on in this same physical spot. They have some cocktails 'on tap'. I tasted their Old Fashioned and Paloma and they were not quite right for me. I ended up with a crafted Old Fashioned and later in the evening, finished myself off with their Dublin Down(Irish Whiskey, apricot). Both drinks were solid. The staff was friendly, and helpful in assisting some of the hard decisions that were made that evening. read more

I almost walked by even as my friend was guiding us to the bar. It's very elegant/cute. Lots of seating and space. Nice (louder than expected) music playing. The Asian bartender reminds me of an anime Bartender Glass of God, they just look like they're in the zone and the drinks are amazing. I'm normally not a mixed drink type of person since I dislike the taste of alcohol (still want it to be a properly made drink) but it tasted like a dessert and I finally understand why people like mixed drinks. Everyone working here was really nice, helpful and professional. Perfect way to end the night or take someone on a date. read more

Haberdasher is such a vibe! From the moment we walked in, everyone made us feel genuinely welcome. The drinks were amazing, and what really stood out was how the bartenders took the time to learn our preferences and created custom cocktails just for us--it made the whole experience feel so personal. We had an incredible night and even met some great people along the way. Can't wait to come back again! read more

Cool hidden spot in downtown San Jose! I made reservations online for a Friday night and when I arrived at 10:00pm, there was a pretty long line. But with a reservation, you don't have to wait and they take you right in. You follow a staircase down to the bar and with reservations, you get a table. You order drinks at the bar which can take a little bit of time if it's crowded. Drinks were very reasonably priced, great selection of cocktails, I saw some beers were as low as like $3-4?!?! Plus a really awesome selection of whiskys - check out the cabinet they have in the back with their selection - lots of rare stuff. Awesome bartenders and staff as well! read more

great vibes, yummy drinks, and the perfect setting to hang out with friends or go on a date

So I thought the bar and drinks were nice but the bartender Katlyn made the whole environment terrible... she was extremely rude to us assuming we were sharing the shots we bought to our table. FYI we were just cheering the bday boy at our table.. and said she will not serve us anymore.. I thought it was so unnecessary her attitude.. made this whole bday party not enjoyable. P.S : if the bartender thought we were buying shots for our other friends that were Underage I understand where she's coming from I guess, but they have a bouncer in front of the bar that checks everyone's id. So this all seem very unnecessary. read more

This bar is the cutest underground hideaway. It's got the whole speakeasy thing going on but without the "I'm too cool for this" vibe. Think casual, not cocktail snobbery. The bartender was an absolute legend. Not only did he share his favorite drinks, but he also asked about our flavor preferences like he was a licensed cocktail therapist. Every drink was a hit, and the chocolate flip was my favorite. Bottom line: this bar is a gem, and the cocktails are the kind that make you want to text all your exes just to tell them how good your life is now. read more
