Nice bar Went for the governor watch party and they did a great job keeping up with the crowd. Staff were all nice, efficient, and fun. We were there for drinks only - they have an extensive selection, but they could probably increase the wine selection. Would I go back? Yes! read more

Three Sisters has been a must-hit each time I've been to San Pedro Square. This is the perfect spot to grab a drink before, or while enjoying your dinner from one of the other food locations at San Pedro Square. There are 10+ bar seats, and a ton of tables varying from 2, 4, 6 and 8+ seats. Their outdoor patio is large, covered, and has heaters. They also have their own bathrooms which are very clean and less busy than the ones in the market. They are first and foremost a whiskey bar, with two full pages of whisk(e)y options, including Bourbon, Rye, Irish, Scotch, Japanese Whisky, and American/Single Malt; they also have a selection of cocktails and other non-whiskey options (tequila, vodka, gin). I'm embarrassed to admit I haven't had any of their whisk(e)ys, but the cocktails I've had were delicious. You order directly from the bar, and the bartenders are friendly and quick! My favorite drink is the Raspberry Hang Glider (Vodka, Lemon, Raspberry Puree, House Syrup) which is light, slightly effervescent, and refreshing! I had this while eating a range of Mexican food (from Loteria Taco Bar) and I loved that it was perfect for sipping between bites of spicy and flavorful food. This cocktail doesn't taste very strong, but it packs a punch-sip slowly and enjoy! My next recommendation is the Limoncello Adjacent (Roots of Ruin Gin, House-made Limoncello, Lemon, Basil Syrup, Soda) which is tart, alcohol-forward, and elevated. This is definitely a pre-meal drink, or as a nightcap; I don't usually like such strong drinks while I eat (too many competing flavors) and the limoncello is on the sweeter side, so I would drink this on its own. If you like a boozy cocktail that hits you quick, definitely try this. Highly recommend stopping by Three Sisters for a drink or two while at San Pedro Square; the vibes are laid-back, elegant, and chill. I've been here with a couple of different groups of girlfriends and everyone leaves with a happy buzz! Cheers! IG: @waitingtoeat read more

Stopped by during a Halloween bar crawl and had a few drinks here. The place has plenty of seating and a comfortable setup, which made it easy to hang out and enjoy the night. Drinks were solid, service was quick, and the overall vibe was relaxed but lively enough to fit the event. Great spot to grab a drink and unwind. I'd definitely come back outside of an event to check it out again. read more

Came here on a weeknight to meet up with a friend. I am not much of a drinker and had hoped to get a non-alcoholic beverage. The options were limited. I got a nonalcoholic raspberry glider. It was pretty sweet and I wouldn't get it again. There was live music playing - but it was so loud we had to leave the space to be able to talk and catch up. Came here again with a friend on a Friday after work and it was pretty empty- plenty of seats and they did have a non alcoholic beer option. Didn't seem like a particularly happening place, but we were able to catch up and there was plenty of seating both indoors and outside. read more

I've been to this particular bar a handful of times granted I've never had their whiskey. I always favored their environment and the bartenders along with good customer service and knowledge of drinks. I noticed some other patrons had old-fashioned and two other customers ordered a raspberry glider, which sounded interesting. I had never heard of that before, but apparently it's a popular drink for this bar. Lol. This particular day I have a nice crisp Sauvignon Blanc for $15 and I noticed the bartender picked up my glass as well as my glass and checked it before he poured. Very polite of him to do so especially since I know everything he got all the sanitizer was clean, but sometimes there's hiccups. We enjoyed the environment and we could hear the music and carry on our conversation while enjoying our drinks. I will definitely be back again! read more

San Pedro Square was a convenient place to wait out the Uber pricing surge and console myself after a loss over at the Shark Tank. Three Sisters had an above average selection of whiskey and craft cocktails for just such an occasion. I also appreciated that it appeared their whiskey shelves hosted bottles in alphabetical order. I sat at the bar, as one does after a particularly trying hockey game, and enjoyed The Staggering Gentleman - Stagg, Benedictine, and Nux Alpina Walnut liqueur. Service was quick and friendly, despite the bar being pretty busy. I observed several patrons being in their food from other San Pedro Square tenants to enjoy with their cocktails. Hopefully my next trip will be after a win. read more

Three Sisters Whiskey Bar is a hidden gem inside *San Pedro Social*, and it quickly became one of my favorite spots in the area. The atmosphere is absolutely *beautiful*--stylish, cozy, and perfect for a relaxed night out. We went on a Wednesday and were pleasantly surprised to find *Jeopardy Night*! Such a fun touch that made the evening even better. Since it's part of San Pedro Social, there are *tons of options* nearby--food, games, and other bars--so you can really make a whole night of it. The staff was genuinely *kind* and welcoming, and the *restrooms were super clean*, which honestly deserves a shoutout. Great drinks, great vibe--definitely worth checking out! read more

The space itself has a huge bar, but somehow the entire place was operating with a single line. For a bar this size, that just doesn't make sense and creates unnecessary congestion and long waits. A bartender should be able to manage the bar more effectively--whether that's opening multiple service points, directing guests, or simply controlling the flow better. The setup (and management) took away from what could have been an enjoyable experience. Plenty of potential here, but the bar operations seriously need improvement. read more

Worst bar I've ever been to. I've never felt targeted in a racist issue before but the bartender and security guard kept following my friends and I around despite us being respectful and calm. All sober or had one drink at the time. Bartender was straight up rude for the one drink I did order too. Happily walk over to one of the other bars around San Pedro square. No need to come here ever! read more

Awesome place on Tuesday for Jeopardy! We don't win because we are older and kids are to smart. Would definitely come back

Not the friendliest staff for sure. You'd think the bartenders were doing us a favor taking orders and pouring three drinks. But not to let that get us down, the place is still pretty cool and they have some good whiskeys. Enjoyed some Japanese whiskey on the rocks. I should say one big square rock of ice which was nice in itself. I've been here a couple times and despite not receiving that welcome feeling, I'll probably come again. read more

Drinks: Can't go wrong with any of the beers featuring Barebottle, Faction, and other CA breweries! I'm particularly impressed that the bartenders ask if I prefer egg whites on my Whiskey Sour - yes, please ! Egg whites make this cocktail authentic :) Ambiance: great place for groups of ~4-6. We noticed that a few tables were reserved for an event so it was cool to learn that hosting is possible by coordinating with San Pedro. Looking forward to my next visit. San Pedro is overall a nice place to watch sports or if you're lucky, see live musicians perform. read more

My friend and I came here on a Friday evening. There was a short line at the bar to order, but that is to be expected on a Friday. I ordered a raspberry drink that was pretty tasty. The bartender was friendly and quick with making the drinks. As this bar is in San Pedro Square, it can get pretty crowded. However, it is right next to one of the outdoor seating areas. It makes it pretty easy to grab a drink at the bar and find a seat somewhere inside or outside. The decor of the bar is attractive. I'm sure I'll be back in the future. read more

I've been here twice and always had a good time. The bartenders are friendly and whip up your drinks fast. As things are beginning to open up again and San Pedro was crowded for Friday, there was a long line of people waiting for drinks, but they often took it to the patio. This time, we got a raspberry drink (that's apparently a staple), and I was going to get a cucumber jalapeño drink but the bartender recommended I try one of their newest drinks, which had tequila and passion fruit. I left to the bathroom while my friend paid but man, I think the bartender really hooked it up with my drink because it was strong! Despite having passion fruit, I would say the bitterness (from the alcohol) reminded me of a grapefruit flavor. It was fruity and strong but unfortunately for me, I just wanted a drink to have with my pizza and I was not planning on barhopping that night (it would've been great if I did though!). The raspberry drink on the other hand... PLEASE get it!!! It was so delicious I cannot even begin to tell you. I love eating raspberries and this was a refreshing, slightly sweet raspberry drink that wasn't too sour and I could barely taste the alcohol. This could've been dangerous because I loved it so much. Funnily enough, I chased the passion fruit drink with the strawberry drink. Always a fun time at Three Sisters. read more

Kind of a nonchalant attitude with the staff. We'll get to you when we do. It's whatever for a busy night here. But when there very few you should just say we'll get to you at least. Unfortunately drinks were made wrong. If you ask twice get it right. It shares a space with the coffee shop. It's just ok to get a drink. 1 of 2 full bar establishments in San Pedro Square. read more

Great cocktails! I came here for some drinks on a Friday night and was able to easily grab a table outside of San Pedro Square Market. You order drinks through their QR code link and then they are brought out to your table, which I thought was very convenient (and makes it easy to split the check)! I started with the Rubee Springs, which was delicious and pretty strong (in a good way), too. My date got a cocktail that wasn't on the menu (he went inside to order it), which I believe was called the Captain Jack Sparrow. That one was also fantastic, and tasted very tropical and rum heavy. I ended the night with the Raspberry Hanglider - probably my favorite! Incredibly refreshing but it costs an extra $5 to make it a double, which I thought was a little excessive. I'll be back for the delicious cocktails and fun atmosphere! read more

Three Sisters is located inside San Pedro Square Market, a lively food court in downtown San Jose (though not so much during COVID). The staff is friendly and I appreciated the suggestion from the bartender to try one of their specials, the Raspberry Hang Glider, instead of the raspberry lemon drop (the original drink that I ordered). It was good, pretty much the same thing except the RHG had more raspberry flavor than lemon. Though the customer service isn't bad, the whole purpose of a bar is to serve good alcoholic beverages. I've been here more than once, and the drinks are really weak, which almost makes it not worth your money... simple cocktails like jack and coke. San Pedro Square Market Bar, which is located across the hall in the same building, serves better drinks (and I've had a lot in the past to compare). The atmosphere has a great vibe, and currently outdoor seating is available and was no problem finding on a Saturday afternoon, but probably only because so many businesses here are currently closed still (if you come on a regular day/night, this place is typically crowded). read more

Had a negative experience here so I left after 10 minutes of waiting to get my drink while two managers watched one bartender struggle to make complicated drinks on game night. This place could be a gem but appears poorly managed. I come here often to this spot and although staff seem mostly curt and irritated, possibly due to poor support from management, yesterday was too much. There was one bartender working on game night that was in the weeds with a complicated drink order from 3 people, and another man still waiting for his drink. The bartender apologized as he was trying his best to make all these espresso martinis. I see two managers in the corner laughing and sharing stories without providing any support. They were both quite literally standing in the bar just talking. The man and woman both made eye contact with me throughout the 10 minutes I waited for a beer. I finally left and they both nodded their head to me as I walked away. I wonder what business model this is. As a manager it's your job to provide support and jump in when needed. I'm confused why there were two managers doing nothing, with only one bartender on game night. I walked to the bar just across the same area, and it was absolutely slammed and I was given a drink right away. In all of the San Pedro square market this is the only place I have had a negative experience. read more

My girls and I stopped here Saturday afternoon and had excellent service from the bartender.

I came here for one reason and one reason only: their Bloody Mary. The first time I tried, it was the wrong day/hour (the Bloody Marys are only made when they have the mix), so I just left. That's right. I don't mess around. Came back at the right time and day within the following couple of weeks, and I was able to order it. "Spicy or regular?" "Spicy." Say no more, fam. To be honest, I don't often order bloody marys. I mean, I've probably had three in my life. It's kind of a weird drink, and I feel like you almost *have* to be hungover to like it, but that's all I'll say about that because I know some people would bloody murder me... ...but this Bloody Mary was quite enjoyable to drink. The mix was great; I like when the mix is thick and flavorful (and not all liquid). It was just the right amount of spice, too. I'm glad they add the olives and cucumber because I'll never eat a friggen celery stick in my life. I'm not sure what other drinks they offer here that are worth trying, since I came only for the BM and I didn't even look at the menu. There's bar seating, plus any available seats throughout San Pedro Square. Prices are a bit high, but that's because it's SPS. I'd say this is still my favorite Bloody Mary to date, so I'd suggest trying it at least once. read more

Three Sisters Whiskey Bar - The fabled Bloody Mary! Spicy version - Bars Near Me - San Jose, California

Discriminatory and highly unprofessional! I went last night with my partner to the bar looking to have a nice drink and relax after we had a long day. We approached the bar where there was two empty seats. The counter had dirty glasses and was wet. We sat and waited to be approached. We were approached by a bartender who had blood shot eyes and appeared to be intoxicated himself. My partner asked for water since he was thirsty. The bartender with a very snarky attitude said the water was at a station nearby . We were going to order our drinks and he left. We waited a long time to be approached by anyone else but they purposely seemed to avoid us. Eventually we asked a female bartender if she could clear the area and take our drink order. She responded to my partner and told him that according to management we could only be served water because we were deemed highly intoxicated!! We were both completely in shock and taken aback as anyone in our situation would be. I asked for an explanation. She repeated herself and I said what are the signs of intoxication they supposedly see in us because we aren't presenting any . We had just arrived and had not had a single drop of alcohol. I felt discriminated against and so did my partner. We felt they judged his tone of voice and the tempo in which he speaks. I asked to speak to the manager to which she walked away and came back to tell me i wasn't allowed to speak to them ! What type of manager does not fulfill their role and do the tasks required of a manager especially in situations like this. We left after this whole situation . Overall we felt embarrassed and indignant over this very discriminatory situation. read more

The main bar might have a mirror, but if you want a larger selection of craft beers, then stop staring at your reflection and come over here. The Garage Bar is an evenings-only extension-of-sorts of the San Pedro Square Market Bar. They're in the Garage Building, natch, in a room separate from the main collection of restaurants. I saw plenty of hard liquors (such as my cousin's choice of Maker's Mark, served with a giant ice cube) and wines behind the bar, but what caught my eye was the relatively high variety of craft beers on tap - eighteen, according to their menu. That's around twice as many as the main bar. I've been exploring craft beers more and more lately (as well as utilizing beer ratings sites), so I had an idea of which beers might be worth checking out. North Coast's Brother Thelonious ($8 for a pint) is a Belgian strong ale which is almost like a stout or porter in color and flavor. I was impressed with it before I tried the freshly tapped/advertised nitro draft version of Ballast Point's Victory at Sea ($10 for a snifter which probably was more of a 10 oz size), a rich and smooth porter. Service was friendly and quick. They might get busier during the weekend, but it was the evening of a San Jose Sharks home game (read: major arena event a few blocks away) and the bartenders handled the crowd well, directed people to use menus, and made recommendations if asked. I'll definitely stop by the Garage Bar again if I visit San Pedro Square Market at night. This place can satisfy casual drinkers and craft beer enthusiasts alike. read more

I rarely go down to San Jose unless invited, and it's best when someone shows me around. My colleague picked me up at the Caltrain station, and we headed to San Pedro Square Market. Expansive, fun spot with variety in bars and restaurants. After getting the "grand tour," we stopped at Three Sisters for a drink. They have some tasty cocktails and beers on tap. We ordered cocktails at the bar. Since it was towards the end of the workday, there wasn't a crowd, but I could see this place getting busy. I got something with tequila... can't remember the exact ingredients, but it was pretty good. I wasn't really feeling what they had on the happy hour menu. Nearby construction was too loud so we took our beverages to the common area. It's great to be a brewery like this because lack of food isn't a deterrent. Customers can easily go elsewhere around the market. The actual area within Three Sisters looks super cute, and I would have hung out there if I wasn't in a work meeting. read more

TW: RACISM I'm appalled. My friend approached the bar and asked the server (picture of him attached) "do you only have these beers on tap?" and the server responded, to my HISPANIC FRIEND, "we have more in the back, but you won't find Modelo or Corona. It's craft beer only!" What the server said was RACIST and I absolutely refuse to return to this establishment. read more

Fun bar in the market. They had a good selection of craft beer and wine. The main bar is pretty large. There is a variety of seating--tables, bar, couches, etc. There was live music when we were there and also TVs to watch games. I can't say that our bartender was that friendly or attentive but I think it because it was busy and they were understaffed. I wish my neighborhood had a bar like this. It would be a great place to be a regular at. read more

The servers are all really great and the staff is super friendly and on top of keeping the place clean. This is a place for all ages. You will see families with youngsters, young adults partying, people with their puppies (YES PUPPIES), and even people like your parents and grandparents.

3.5 STARS My group was heading to the Sharks game and decided to grab one drink before going to SAP. One of our friends was already here and managed to grab an area to stand by the bar. (I believe it was by the doorway into the interior of San Pedro Square.) My girlfriend and I arrived on Saturday, January 13th around 6:30pm. Two other friends joined later and we were all able to stand in the same area. I ended up getting a Glenlivet 12 neat. It was your average pour. The bartender was sweet and quick, which is all I'm looking for in a pre-game drinking establishment. I've been to The Garage before and I like the space. Big and open, which is perfect for the crowds that gather before a game. It doesn't feel too cramped. Plus, they have TVs showing sporting events, so we were able to catch the end of the Warriors games before we left. Nice bar to hit up before going to an event at SAP Center. read more
