10 Overall Closest Nightlife
Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant
(Nightlife - Bars)
33 E San Fernando St, San Jose  95113 • 408-294-6785
Distance: ~640 ft *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. Eclectic Gordon Biersch Brewery is a popular chain brewpub known as much for its flavor-packed menu (great garlic mashed potatoes!) as for its fine selection of German ales and lagers. On weekends, it tends to get fairly loud and crowded and makes for a fun place to hang out, especially for folks between the ages of 21 and 35. During the summer, you'll probably happen upon a little live music when you stop in.

Distance: ~0.32 mi *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. San Jose's Firehouse No. 1 Gastropub is a cool, upbeat spot that specializes in microbrews, hip bartenders and one of the town's most piping hot happy hours. The 20-something crowd really gets into the flow of things, celebrating when the bell behind the bar announces a noteworthy event and frequently high-fiving the bar staff. The menu has a variety of tempting noshes like steak frites, charcuterie platters, tiger prawn salad, and pork belly sliders. The jukebox keeps things rocking into the wee hours.

JJ's Blues Lounge
(Nightlife - Live Music)
3439 Stevens Creek Blvd, San Jose  95117 • 408-243-6441
Distance: ~3.87 mi *
        Description: STEVENS CREEK. JJ's knows what they're doing. Over two decades in the business means they know the blues, and they take pride in presenting up-and-coming performers as well as established names – the schedule varies, with jam sessions on Monday and Tuesday. There's a pool table in the back, a well-stocked bar with expert "intoxicologists" and a super casual vibe. No food, but there's a great pizza joint next door.
