Barefoot Coffee Roasters

5237 Stevens Creek Blvd
Santa Clara, CA 95051

van ness d. writes: I love coffee. I love the jittery "Oh-my-God-I feel-like-a-crackhead" buzz you get when you have some strong-ass coffee. When I went, I ordered the 'All-nighter' (not because I had to pull one or anything, I just like my coffee chock full o'…

Sofa Lounge

372 S 1st St
San Jose, CA 95106

Susy C. writes: I can't believe this place shut down. That makes me really really really sad.

At least I got to see Peanut Butter Wolf spin in an intimate location.
Ahhh good times, good times.

The Mountain Winery

14831 Pierce Rd
Saratoga, CA 95070

laura b. writes: Maria is right. BEST audience EVER. This place is like a little slice of Los Angeles in our own back yard. I never knew Kathy Griffin's target demographic is bitches who wish they were Lara Flynn Boyle. I mean, I expected the cliched super gay…

Savvy Cellar Wine Bar & Wine Shop

2048 Broadway St
Redwood City, CA 94063

Brad P. writes: The Mrs. and I had a sitter for the kiddos on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend, and I was looking for a place to take her for a quick bite before heading to the movies. I went to Yelp (duh) and was about to browse my list of places I've bookmarked on…

Poet & Patriot Irish Pub

320 Cedar St Ste E
Santa Cruz, CA 95060

elbo l. writes: Coolest bar in santa cruz. I used to be a regular here.

First off, this isn't just an irish bar, this is a guiness bar. I haven't found a better place to drink guinness, including all the irish pubs up in SF. Sure they're full of real irish…

Shoreline Billiards

1400 N Shoreline Blvd
Ste C-1
Mountain View, CA 94043

Gerard Y. writes: Great place to shoot some pool, albeit it's sort of a far drive for me. It's worth it though. They have plenty of tables where you can play 8-ball and 9-ball on so there's really no waiting time unlike at other pool halls where you might have to wait…

Moe's Alley

1535 Commercial Way
Santa Cruz, CA 95065

Shari D. writes: Moe's Alley is the place to see new talent, as well as some tried and true local talent... It's a small venue, but where every seat is a good one. They have a good, comfortable vibe here, and an outdoor area for those of you who smoke. In cooler…

Trials Pub

265 N 1st St
San Jose, CA 95113

Archie R. writes: I really feel bad for most women at bars and clubs.

Why?

Well, I know I have mentioned the "Bay Area Bell Curve" before.

But I haven't quite explained what it is.

It's the reason guys like me look good in a town like this.

We have MANY MANY MANY…

Martini Monkey

1661 Airport Boulevard, Suite 3B
Terminal C
San Jose, CA 95110

Ed U. writes: What an odd place to find in an airport these days. It's like something from a 1960's melodrama where Elizabeth Taylor, with a sable coat covering her transparent silk negligee and heaving bosoms, would meet - I don't know - a besotted Tony Curtis at…

Duke of Edinburgh

10801 N Wolfe Rd
Cupertino, CA 95014

Keiko S. writes: Duke of Edinburgh is one of those places where the atmosphere and the service outweigh the actual food. It is an old establishment that's been around for 24 years; the menu hasn't changed for the last 20 years.

* ATMOSPHERE *

The restaurant/pub has…

Kuumbwa Jazz Center

320 Cedar St
Ste 2
Santa Cruz, CA 95060

mike b. writes: Key point to remember--this is Santa Cruz, not the City!!
So yeah, the vibe is gonna be a little bare-bones, laid-back, and granola.
The focus here is on the perfomers, not the decor.
All in all, Kuumbwa does a nice job of fitting alot into a very small…

Seven Bamboo

162 Jackson St
San Jose, CA 95112

Christine E. writes: This is really a great place to hang out with your group of friends! Now, I'm not big on the public setting for karaoke (I prefer private rooms for groups), but it's pretty fun watching strangers take on the mike! The servers at the bar are…

Lemans Karting

45957 Hotchkiss St
Fremont, CA 94539

Eric W. writes: If you are looking for something exciting, yet not too crazy to hang out with friends or take a date, Le Mans just might be your ticket. It's certainly far from the cheapest form of entertainment out there, but it's unique enough to be able to say…

Steppin' Out Productions

830 Stewart Dr
Sunnyvale, CA 94085

Jane D. writes: Converted office space. Interior looks almost like a sales office of a car dealership. I missed the dance lesson when I went with one of my ex co-workers. I'll have to come back and try this place out for size again. Looks like alot of fun!

O'Flaherty's Irish Pub

25 N. San Pedro Street
San Jose, CA 95110

I hate bars in Downtown San Jose.........ever since my beloved Good Fellas changed owners (miss you Joey) my man and I were in a state of…

Vin, Vino, Wine

437 California Ave
Palo Alto, CA 94306

Mami T. writes: GREAT tasting. They do it every day that they are open (i.e. Tues - Sat), and they would include $200+ bottle wines in the lineup. They pour generously, almost 1/3 glass, so you can easily share the flight with another person.

So this place is…

Vino Locale

431 Kipling St
Palo Alto, CA 94301

Eve K. writes: Unique little place that was totally not like I expected for trendy upscale Palo Alto.

Highlights:

- It's a little bitty homey house across from the big fancy house in…

The Oasis Beer Garden

241 El Camino Real
Menlo Park, CA 94025

Jamal G. writes: I have to ask, when writing a review, has your mouth ever started to water? Weird, because mine just did. See this place is soooo good, sooooo good that I thought about saving this review until I reached 200. However, I can walk down my block…

Dan Brown's

4141 El Camino Real
Palo Alto, CA 94306

sprout s. writes: I am biased when it comes to Dan Brown's/The Island because I've only come here on Friday nights.

Koji Sake Lounge

48 S 1st St
San Jose, CA 95113

Amélie P. writes: I came here after the Farenheit Elite Event, and I think besides two other people (Candice and Rob), I was the only white person in there.

Which. Is. AWESOME.

I have an appreciation for sake because I grew up Japanese. You see, when I was a wee…

Vip Oriental

2776 El Camino Real
Santa Clara, CA 95051

Banana Crepe

248 Jackson St
San Jose, CA 95112

Fibbar MaGees

156 S Murphy Ave
Sunnyvale, CA 94086

Veronica V. writes: As March 17th approaches I am reminded of a little St. Patricks Day fable.

There was once a telecommunications company that starts with an "S" and ends with a "T" and at this company were many disgruntled employees from ages ranging from 25-35, prime…

Boulder Creek Brewery & Cafe

13040 Highway 9
Boulder Creek, CA 95006

Joyita A. writes: The service was excellent. Our server served 16 people and all the food came out and everyone was happy.
The garlic fries with cheese are steak fries which were perfect.
My dinner needed more spice to it, but the meat was tender as it should be. After…

The Garret

1777 S Bascom Ave
Campbell, CA 95008

Jamal G. writes: So I thought... wait no I didn't...

How can I think I'd be the first to introduce The Garret? I'm slippin'... too much SF Yelpin' to think I could write a review about something as special as The Garret, without anyone noticing. I use to live…

Ye Olde Watering Hole

2405 Mission Street
Santa Cruz, CA 95060

Drue C. writes: This place is a dive, no doubt about it.

We arrived on a Saturday night and there was no music playing (despite the fact that the juke box seems to have a little bit of everything), nobody could be bothered to stop drinking and get off their bar…

Vintage Wine Merchants Inc

377 Santana Row
San Jose, CA 95128

Berg W. writes: I'm almost afraid to walk in Vintage Wine Merchants. Firstly, if I trip I could easily destroy $10,000 worth of merchandise. Secondly, I really want to buy bottles that are waaaaaaaay out of my price-range.

This is a suitable wine shop for Santana…

Arirang Music Studio

2725 El Camino Real Ste 107
Santa Clara, CA 95051

Sabrina L. writes: My standby South Bay noraebang. Very close to VIP (you pretty much just roll across the street). It's not the newest or fanciest joint in town, but I've had many good times here.

What's cool about Arirang (besides its location)...

They have a DDR…

Improv Comedy Club

62 S 2nd St
San Jose, CA 95113

Jamal G. writes: The Improv has 2 levels, 2 drink minimum, 2 bars across the street 2 drink at before or after (usually end up doing both), within 2 blocks there's parking, the food is not 2 great, you do not want 2 go 2 the clubs that share the block 2 the right…

Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum

37417 Niles Blvd
Fremont, CA 94536

Rinky A. writes: If you haven't been to the Silent Movies on Saturday nights--this is a must do experience. We have now been to the showings 4-5 times and if we lived closer we'd go every week.

Seats are…

Alex's 49er Inn

2214 Business Cir
San Jose, CA 95128

Weide Z. writes: At times when I get that battered washed-out-relic-from-the -Hippie-days feeling, which is perfectly appropriate in my case being as I am less than 12 months away from 60, here is one place I can go where it don't feel too out of place... that…

Shisha

84 N Market St
San Jose, CA 95113

Alpine Inn

3915 Alpine Rd
Portola Valley, CA 94028

Archie R. writes: As a rule of thumb, I try to only eat at places where there are at least 6 Asians eating there as well.

This bodes well especially when eating in Cupertino.

It helps me avoid crap holes like that Wienerschnitzel at that UNDISCLOSED LOCATION.

Imagine…

Illusions Fayrouz Mediterranean Cuisine

260 S California Ave
Palo Alto, CA 94306

William C. writes: I'd have to say that this restaurant is rather vegetarian unfriendly, with very few veggie choices. That said, the dish I ordered absolutely rocked. The appetizers were incredible as well, we went through all the pita and almost the second round of…
