Bartender Brian was fun for my brother and me to hang with on a Saturday afternoon after just getting into town for the Chiefs at 49ers game on Sunday. Really wanted to go back but didn't make it work - will most definitely go back again if in San Jose/Japantown! The price per person includes a few beverages and highly recommended (which became obvious WHY) pizza and the Duchess sandwich from nearby J-Town Pizza! Absolutely delicious and ate the leftovers for every meal between Saturday and Monday morning! Thank you, Brian, for your hospitality and local's recommendations!! And for breaking out the Red Horse by San Miguel brewery in the Philippines - a blast from my past!
Nice place to grab a drink and watch sports
Great neighborhood bar in Japan Town. You can order pizzas from there pizza place a couple blocks away with free delivery.
Jack's would be great if they had food. RN, the only food available is from a nearby restaurant. The drinks are good. The patio ia top notch. There are plenty of screens and restrooms. Parking is street only. There is a parking lot behind the Foster Freeze, but I don't think it's public. The bartenders are cool. Fallon made our Old Fashions perfectly.
Great place if you want to be charged 2 dollars per each refill of watery soda from the tap and 20 dollars for a terrible (and really small) pizza
I like the outdoor patio but was bummed by no sound for the sports broadcast over the TVs. My BLT was very very dry. It was handed to me without any questions of whether I wanted anything else, no napkins, just here is your cracker texture BLT. The Bourbon old fashioned I had was made well, thus more stars. When you're exhausted and looking forward to a good meal and some sports this may not be the place to go. The bathroom toilets are Sus. With a bigger crowd it would be clog city.
Clean, modern, and open early for sports (soccer, EPL, F1). Great selection of liquor with reasonable prices. Kitchen doesn't open until 11am. This is my go-to spot for watching F1 (start times can be 6am or 7am PDT).
Jack's is a mood. Chill But lively. The atmosphere goes with the crowd. Drinks are good and they are affiliated with jtown pizza, so food options are great. I've always had a pleasant experience here.
This is a regular place I meet up with my friends to have a guarantee good night out.
