What People Are Saying About Hotel San Jose Lounge

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.

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.

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.
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.
