Dive Bar - Going Down (hill). No joke..this place is properly named. I usually don't write reviews, but felt so compelled after visiting this place. Ordered a Grey Goose and tonic...at 6:30pm....$9.00 bucks. Go figure. Unless you;re drinking their special, visit the atm before you come. Bartender put up a small bowl of snacks when I sat down. It was never refilled. In fact the empty bowl sat in front of me for over two hours.

Advertised "Wednesday Night..karaoke night". Well after 9:00 I asked the bartender, so when does karaoke start and I quote, "oh the owner is a jerk. He decided to stop having karaoke. Now this place is really dead on Wednesdays."

What a shame! Great location and huge potential. My advice is go elsewhere...this place really lives up to its name :(

Piece of **** bar. Me and my friends went there last Friday for a friend's birthday. It took about 10 minutes to even get a bartender to acknowledge us and another 10 for him to actually serve us our drinks. I paid half cash, half card and the bartender overcharged me on my card by $10, claiming he had given me change from the cash I gave him. Knowing I had absolutely no cash back when he gave me my card, we immediately left. I never recommend anyone going here!!

Smokin hot bartenders, neighborhood crowd and karaoke!. This is a bar I could get used to hanging out at 4-5 nights a week. Its that good! Wednesdays are karaoke night - and one of the LEAST pretentious venues I've ever been to. The crowd is friendly, drama-free neighborhood regulars 25-35 yrs old. Great drinks - Tina the bartender is the best & verrrry easy on the eyes! Yum!

there are WAY better bars in San Jose.... The tap beer selection at Dive Bar is the most redeeming quality the place has. The service is sub-par and made for a bad experience the time I visited. The music in the jukebox is okay, but it was turned off and replaced with a dj that played music too loud to allow for conversation. Dive Bar needs to decided if it is a dance club, or a bar and do one well. I read the word 'pretentious' in another review to decribe this bar and I wholeheartedly agree. Try the San Jose Bar and Grill.
