Haberdasher

43 W San Salvador St, San Jose, CA 95113

4.7 Stars

This basement-turned-bar, housed in a 100-year-old building, provides a glimpse into a bygone period. Order a Belafonte, named for the Jamaican-American songwriter, to completely embrace the environment’s old-timey nostalgia. Set up in one of the red-curtained booths with a drink in hand and enjoy some sax-heavy Motown music. The bowler hat’s light sconces, as well as the measuring tapes the bartenders, wear around their necks, contribute to the establishment’s 1920s tailor shop concept.

MINIBOSS

52 E Santa Clara St, San Jose, CA 95113

4.5 Stars

Looking for ways to reconnect with your inner child? Try MiniBoss and its collection of vintage arcade games. Go for the pinball machines (with themes like Deadpool, Star Wars, and Stranger Things) or the old-school joystick games with their nostalgically pixelated graphics. In between rounds of Miss Pac-Man and Donkey Kong, look up and admire the bar’s glowing tetris wall and gamer artwork. Order the Ziggy Piggy, a crazy beverage served in a pig mug with a little pink balloon, to really appreciate the humor of this location.

Five Points

169 W Santa Clara St, San Jose, CA 95113

4.5 Stars

Looking for a fun night out? Go to Five Points, one of the best bars in San Jose in downtown, a tavern with a Gangs of New York theme. Its namesake (Five Points, New York) was a lawless district in the nineteenth century, and the cocktail menu contains beverages named after the area’s six gangs as well as old images of some of the area’s more notorious members. Who wouldn’t feel like a badass if they ordered Tax and Death Evasion or Blood, Lust, and Diamonds on the rocks? Additionally, if you enjoy live jazz, you should stop by this pub on Mondays if you’re ever in San Jose!
