The Scene
Britannia Arms is one of the top pickup spots in this area of San Jose. People drink Boddingtons and Coronas and chat up the opposite sex. There's a dance floor for grooving with a new acquaintance, but the best place on a warm summer night is the large outdoor area. Televisions let you catch the latest game while munching on pub grub. There's live music Thursday through Saturday (don't miss Frank Joseph if he's playing), but some of the best moments come from crowd members doing karaoke on Wednesdays and Sundays.
The Draw
As one would expect from the British fare, you won't go wrong with the fish-and-chips, meat pies or bangers and mash. And the excellent draft selection features an array of British, European and American brews.

AND good lord if they could only improve the food & service. Honestly, we only go because it's close to where we live and they have a patio. Service is slow on the patio, but the staff is quite personable once you get to know them. Anna is a doll! BUT pleeeeaaaase stop passing off Coscto cheesecakes as dessert and get a real menu that has been spell checked! The fish & chips are good...but everything else really could use an upgrade. Is it really that difficult to serve somewhat decent food? If they did we'd be there all the time dropping $$$ !!!

I lived in Almaden Valley for a long time and have watched the Brit decay. The service gets worse and worse each year. I finally got fed up with their changing clothing rules and rude waitresses. I now go to Branham Lounge, much friendlier! Cheers!

We used to come to Trivia Night every Tuesday..but no more..Chuck was the greatest, quick wit, snappy comebacks to rude players..now it's Pubstumpers, a veiled ruse to get more customers in to boost business but the trivia is not like it used to be and no fun anymore. Sorry, we loved it, but no more. We have found a place that does Buzztime trivia and it's much more fun and the people are friendlier during games, we yell out answers because we are playing against the whole USA and Canada, tonight our pub came in 6th. on the first game, great fun. And the beer flows like water... The waitresses at Brittania Arms are great, friendly and fast. The food is a bit expensive for my wallet and some of it leaves much to be desired. But the Kobe Burger is the Greatest!! Now if only the trivia was that good we'd be back in a New York minute!!
