You have people of every race, gender, creed, etc just trying to belt their lungs out on the stage. It's where everyone can be the weirdest version of themselves and no one cares. I do miss the days when rapper Johnny and the guy that brought his own bongos would be out, but I'm sure there will be a new generation of those folks soon. The bartenders are mostly ok but the drinks are kind of inconsistent (a friend and I ordered the same drink and they were totally different). They do check id but it's annoying because I'm clearly a much older demographic lol. They don't serve food (I know they did at one point in time, but idk why they don't anymore).

I had a silly idea to do a watch party for a reality TV show and as soon as I got on the phone with Kendall to discuss the details, I knew I was in good hands. She gave a great rate and was super helpful in coming up with ideas for the event. Both Kendall and Marcus were very involved in the event setup and helped with all the logistics necessary to make it a successful event. I've always loved coming to Wheelhouse with my family, but now I will consider them more often for future community events as well. Thank you guys!

I was confused at first by the setup, but it seems to be 2 bars in 1 location. I started out with…read morehappy hour at Still OG Listening and got the $5 drinks and some appetizers like the chicken skewers and fries. The music was really loud and I couldn't hear the conversation of the person with me so the Asian bartender helped us turn down the music a little. It wasn't until mid evening that I realized there was another bar in the back. The bartender told us the cocktails at Alter Ego were more fancy. Definitely instagramworthy! Tried two of the cocktails at Alter Ego. Overall, both have different vibes. Alter Ego is good for a more intimate dark setting date vibe. Service was pretty good at Still OG! The Asian bartender checked in several times and was really nice as well as provided some recommendations on which happy hour specials were most popular which helps since I'm indecisive. The back does seem like a more classy environment and I'd choose this setting over a dive bar any day. The music at still OG that they were playing at the time wasn't my cup of tea, but I'm sure they mix it up from time to time. I would love to hear some oldies!

Came here on a Saturday night for some pre-dinner drinks. I wasn't really sure how it works with…read morethe two businesses in one, but Alter Ego is the speakeasy in the back, with reservations recommended, and Still OG is the walk in bar in the front. The front was pretty full so we checked out Alter Ego first, but they were also full with nothing available until 11pm, so Still OG it was. You grab a spot yourself and then order at the bar. All cocktails are on tap, which actually ended up being great because I was between a few of them and the bartender was able to give me samples of them. We also ended up getting an order of the Chicken skewers, which were super tender and juicy. We were too late on our visit, but they do have a daily happy hour that includes some of the skewers and fries, as well as some drinks and shots. Service was super friendly and vibes and music were great! Cocktails, weren't the best since they were on tap, but still good enough! I would absolutely come back here for a drink and snack though!

I'm in love with this venue for a multitude of reasons. First, let's give respect where respect is…read moredue: this is not just a venue, this is an intentional community of artists. And not just musicians, but there are local artists items for sale in the front shop; there is a podcast growing out of this location; and there is lots of mentoring, growth, inspiration, and the what every artist looks for, great after hour hangs with like minded folx. I'm a fan of the space because the acoustics are always just right, and the lighting is vibrantly cozy. There is no bad seat in the house, and I can always find a place to slink into the back drop of events, even though it's hard to show up here and not engage in some friendly conversation with the regulars. It's the way my artist friends rave about this place that also makes me recommend it to anyone looking for a new venue to hear local music, or tell visiting artists about it. I feel confident that you are going to watch a quality show, have a good time, drink some REALLY good beer, and if you like tater tots, order The King Tut tots (they always hit for me). But in all seriousness, this is a venue that is more than just an establishment. So I'm curious if it also serves as a meeting place for community groups. I'd love to see this place used to really bring all walks of life together, not just those who are musically inclined, artistic, or a consumer of the two. Because there is something magical about the history behind SLG Art Boutiki & Gallery's inception, and the walls are full of tales that need to be told to keep its story alive in San Jose. Please check out a show here in 2025, visit the gallery, listen to the podcast, and tell me if I'm wrong for having a fond attachment to this place. I bet you'll find a new hidden gem to gush about, too.
