Racist. Rude. Disrespectful. We were the band that played to make them money and security treated us so disrespectfully we couldnt get inside to play our set!

What an incredible vibe and a staple for the downtown San Jose area. People are always going to have some input, but.. If you know you know. This is always Poppin and the mixologists along with the selection is just top-tier. That's right these aren't just bartenders here. If you are about advanced selections and especially Japanese whiskey level cocktails, don't sleep on this spot.

Prices depend on how much you eat/drink. It's less busy during the week days. Delicious custom cocktails on a rotating menu, but you can also order a classic

Varied menu and good service. The menu includes several gluten free entries. The staff are knowledgeable about special dietary requirements. I had Chilean sea bass and it was delicious! The only drawback is that it can get quite noisy.

First time there and the food and drinks where delicious! The service was good but can do better. Overall I recommend this place to enjoy a cocktail or some finger treats before any near events or just finish up the night.

Late review, but I came here in December when they had Sippin' Santa which is when it turns into a Christmas Bar! We came here as part of a mini Christmas bar hop night before going to a Sharks game. I loved the Tiki Holiday decor! It was perfect to get in the mood for the Christmas season! I got the Holiday on Ice drink which was delicious. They serve the drinks in adorable Santa mugs. We ordered the cheesy olive bread which is a must! It's stuffed with cream cheese, it's so delicious! I can't wait to come back next Christmas!

Me and my friends love 55 south lol, the outside seating during covid was so cute & inviting. The music is always good, the drinks are great & the food is pretty good too. Just wish they had fries tbh but it's def a solid bar to start out at when you bar hop.

Wanted to check out as it seemed to be quite busy on late weekend nights but didn't want to be packed like sardines, so came early after dinner elsewhere. All the tables were taken except for 1, so didn't have to wait. Dont remember what we got for drinks but they were pretty good. Also ordered creme brulee, we thought it was good and priced reasonably considering that it is a popular bar. 5 star for food quality. Ambiance, depends on time and purpose. Since it wasn't crowded yet, the noise level was not bad, the music not loud. But it didn't quite fit what I was looking for for a date night with my spouse. 4 star for Ambiance. Service was pretty good. No issue with ordering, food delivery, and timely check ins. However I was annoyed at how the bill was handled. After we ordered, we were told that she can't keep the tab open for us. So we needed to pay right after we ordered. She pulled out one of those mobile PoS thing. Then came the dreaded tip screen while she stood there holding the PoS. This is absolutely unnecessary. Just make it mandatory and I wouldn't care since it was a date night that I wanted to go smoothly. Most of the people who come to this place probably also don't care if you charge them reasonable mandatory service charge as long as it is disclosed ahead of time. With tipping culture going out of control, this practice of having server waiting for customer to select tip option BEFORE food is delivered is just extremely annoying. 2 star. Pretty decent place overall but I won't be returning because of the bill handling.

This review is mostly based on the Old Fashioned drink and the bartender. Based on the bar full of bourbon and rye, i expected a fantastic old fashioned especially their well bourbon is buffalo trace. First, they do not use a large cube for the drink. The bartender seems to be more concerned with his "skills" of mixing rather than the mix proportion for best taste. Needless to say, the drink was average at best. Would not go there for an old fashioned next time in town. The food was good. Stuffed avocado and carne asada tacos. Nothing Worth 5 stars. All in all, for me, its not the 4.5-5 star place as it is reviewed online. I would go there if you want a neat bourbon (see picture) or different mixed drinks i saw, but not for an old fashioned.

I went last month for their Christmas pop up and it was a fun time! I love the Christmas decor with all of the Hawaiian themed decorations throughout the bar. It made it super fun and cute. I can't wait to go back for next years holiday themed bar!
