What People Are Saying About V Bar

The Scene – This sophisticated lounge is separated from the reception area of the stylish Hotel Valencia by a steel-beaded curtain and an invisible aura of cool. Club music plays through an impressive, hidden sound system, drowning out the plasma TVs on the walls, but the attractive crowd is more than content to watch each another instead. Mojitos are the drink of choice here, served from a jet-black bar lit with rich, red mood lighting. – – The Draw – There are two huge couches for relaxing and a couple of low-slung cube tables from which to scope out the bar.

Barely worth the trip

by 4theloveoflife

I always remember hearing how great V-Bar was... and then I went. The drinks were good- great cosmos- so that was the only plus side. The location is fabulous, but then again, the other bars on Santana Row are just as good, usually better! I felt as though the patrons were a bit... pathetic. Early 30s men in their work clothes, ties loosened drooling over their soon to be one-night-stand. And the girls, they dress the part. Everyone just seems to eager I would say. But if you are with a group of friends, its a good time! I would say to start there for a drink and move on down the road (literally)

Cool place, but DO NOT leave your card open at the bar.

by drewluc

Cool bar, great atmosphere, but do not leave your card open. At the end of the night after my friends and I all left the bar, I noticed 8 extra drinks charged to my card that we did not order. Called the next day, and got no answer. Called again for the next two days, and still no answer.
