The Scene – Sandwiched between a liquor store and low-rent office space on downtown's high-trafficked Santa Clara Street, you'll know the bar by the beat-up vans of aspiring mix masters that pull up front around 11pm. Downstairs feels like a regular corner pub, with dim lighting and a small, narrow bar area. Upstairs, where the DJs spin, there's another small bar and a diner-style booth for those who want to chat, but the layout and minimal decor is made for dancing. – – The Draw – Younger South Bay residents are drawn here by specials like two-for-one kamikazes…

Pretty cool

by PeteG at Citysearch

A friend of a friend was spinning at Johnny V's recently and it was my first time there. It was pretty fun, the bartenders were on point and the crowd was chill.

The first round of drinks was bought by one of my friends girlfriend, so we got these girly "Hello Kitty" shots made with vodka and some green stuff called Ty Ku. They were actually good though, and interesting cause the bartender was pouring from a bright green bottle that would light up when she poured.

I don't go out much, but Johnny V's was pretty cool, and I'd go again if I knew the person spinning or something.

  • Pros: great bartenders, great drinks
  • Cons: nothing off the top of my head...
