    Stopped in here on a Friday night around 7pm. The staff were really friendly and seated us right away. For it being a casual bar the drinks were extremely elevated and something you'd find in downtown San Jose for $20+. We ordered the truffle fries that were great, cooked to perfection and reminded me of a giants game. We ended up ordering 4 cocktails total and they were all great and unique. The restroom was clean as well. This was a hidden gem and we could see this place as being our bar for sports games where you want a cold beer and a big TV. I definitely recommend.

    Very casual environments. They tend to close at midnight, not typical for most bars. They offer Large screen TV and various snacks.

    Great sports bar with TVs, they have food until 8:30pm, and fast service. Perfect place to hang out pre game and watch games as well.

    First time here.....Yelp lead me here Cool little dive bar…read morethat is literally under an over pass Parking is easy to come by Venue is clean and bar is well stocked, Prices are reasonable, drinks are ok, vibe is chill no drama. Food is ok, we shared the birria sliders not bad at all!! I would come back here again if I am ever in the area

    Date: Friday, November 8th, 2024 Time: around 8:30pm…read moreParty of: 4 *Old Fashion ($12) *Wine ($8) *Jameson and Ginger ($9) *Double Jameson Neat ($18) x2 *A Beautiful ($24) *Glenlivet 12 ($14) My group was in Fremont and looking for a spot to grab a few drinks. A friend suggested Tequila Shots since he's from this area. We walked in and found a table by the door. We took turns going up to the bar to order rounds. I believe the recap above only encompasses two rounds of drinks. One of my gfs is a wine drinker, so she ordered a glass of wine. Their offerings for red wine were limited, but the pour itself was very generous. My default drink at bars is Jameson. It's typically not too pricey and a reliable irish whiskey. Tho the pour for a double was inconsistent. I did get my first round in a snifter which was a nice touch. The power went out while we were here which was kinda funny. Not sure if they have a generator or anything for blackouts, but everything came back up in a few mins. There was a table filled with lit up sports gear, so that helped light the space when the power was out. A nice bar to grab drinks. Funny enough, no one in our group ordered tequila. I believe they do happy hour 10am to 6pm every day. (I may be recalling the sign I read incorrectly.) If I find myself in this area during that time, I wouldn't mind coming back. REVIEW #3621

Show up a few times and be a decent human and you will find a wide network of new friends. They welcome new regulars and there are a lot of us. Come hang out! (Edited to add... I did not realize that I would be REPLACING my previous review. TL;DR, I miss seeing Sandie and Tanisha here, but the bartenders are awesome people and you should just start coming here because it's a fantastic local watering hole. And also they do a bunch of sports games on the TVs, in case you care about such things, including Arsenal games)

    I had a terrible experience watching an Arsenal match there…read more This is supposed to be an Arsenal supporters club, yet they allow fans of rival teams like Manchester United and Manchester City to come in during Arsenal games. Not only that, they were openly laughing, mocking, and disrespecting Arsenal fans when we conceded goals. That's completely unacceptable for a supporters club. I've been to Sacramento Gooners and other Arsenal clubs, and none of them tolerate this kind of behavior. There's a clear difference in standards. I've followed the Silicon Valley Gooners owner and I know they claim to love Arsenal and football. But honestly, this feels more like a business focused on profit than a community built on passion. Very disappointing.

    If you're new to the game or are too self conscious to visit a more serious setting, fairway zone…read moreis the perfect place to start. This is more of a sports bar setting with TV's everywhere so you don't have to worry about judgmental staff or uptight players. Chances are everyone is too busy watching "the game" to notice your crappy swing. The sim, although tricky and hard to read if you've only played real courses, is accurate and offers a ton of feedback. Gameplay supports up to 4 players unless you set up the golf range setting, then it's basically open season. Only 2 bays available by reservation so plan accordingly. There are some loner clubs if you don't have your own otherwise bringing your set is recommended. We had a bunch of appetizers that were all excellent. We came on a slow night too so no issues with drinks/food orders but I can see that being an issue when it gets lively(then again what restaurant doesn't have this issue when busy?). To my understanding this place just went through a menu/renovation refresh so look to the newest pictures for the most up to date info.

    The ambiance and décor are nice -- and that's about where the positives end. When we sat down and…read moreopened the menu, several items were crossed out or scribbled over, so the food options I had seen on Yelp were no longer available. We had two different servers come to our table who didn't seem to be communicating with each other. As a result, we never received an order of sliders, yet they still appeared on our bill. The bartender also struggled with very basic cocktails. A simple cosmopolitan and a lemon drop -- both extremely common drinks -- seemed to cause confusion, which was surprising. As for the food, it was nothing memorable. One friend ordered a smash burger that was so smashed it included the bun, which I've never seen before. The wings I ordered were small and underwhelming -- five wings for $15 felt overpriced and disappointing. Overall, I don't understand how this place has a 4.5-star rating on Yelp. I left pretty disappointed. The only thing that seems to keep people coming back is the scantily clad servers rather than the food or service.
