Gordon Biersch Brewery
(Restaurants - American)
33 E San Fernando St, San Jose  95113-2508 • 408-294-6785
Distance: ~636 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.
