Editorial Review for Hotel San Jose Lounge – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
A sleek, minimalist, almost Zen outdoor patio features simple tables and chairs surrounded by paper lanterns, bamboo fencing and a small, serene pool. The feel is quiet and sophisticated. The drinks are well-chosen beers and wines. Style-conscious folks under 35 fill the space. Some are thrift-store hipsters in immaculate vintage styles, others are well-heeled professionals or local movers and shakers. The dark and quietly elegant vibe also make it a favorite of couples and dates.

Insider Tips

Where to Sit

If there are no more tables available, head for the clearing on the far side of the pool--it's not part of the bar, but the butterfly chairs by the edge of the water make a sublime place to relax and talk.

When to Go

The bar opens in the late afternoon, but the best time to go is at night: The stars glitter above, tiny table-top candles shimmer and the temperature cools, making outdoor drinking more pleasant.

I met friends there after work and had a great time. It's a great space and vibe. People can keep coming and going and the staff is completely accommodating. We spent the greater part of the evening there and would definitely return.

Pros: great, relaxed vibe

This relaxed bar on a hotel patio embraces the "less is more" notion.  See the full editorial review.
