Frank is a great bartender. Introduces himself, asks my name and did not forget! This place is a throwback to a earlier time. Music played live in the bar. Clientele is older and the atmosphere is casual. Great place to relax! Feels like the sitcom ' Cheers'. Enjoyed a couple while watching the Giants game.
Frank is awesome! Happened upon this gem on a bike ride and will definitely make it a destination.
This is probably the coolest bar I've found in all of my recent travels. They are awesome and you feel like you are in an episode of cheers when you go. Where everybody knows your name..... It's CASH ONLY! and they have lunch food in Thurs to sat. Be sure to tip your bartender, stay off the railroad tracks, and don't stink up the bar with your farts. Be happy. This place rocks. Tell em Russ sent you.
I was visiting Great America and decided on a whim to stop here for a beer and quick dinner. The atmosphere was quaint. Lots of local people. I was obviously and outsider but didn't feel like it. I chit chatted with a couple of people while karaoke was happening. The guy that places the piano and the lady that served us were the owners. I even got a goodbye as I got up to leave with my daughter.
They treat you like a long lost friend! I knew local's names and everyone that worked there by the end of the afternoon. Loved the live music, even got up and sang a song with the two-person band. Enjoyed the food and drinks as well. Very welcoming. Will return!
Best bar - amazing experience and the open mic night was perfection.
Really nice place with a comfortable vibe that makes you feel right at home. Frank the bartender was friendly and quick to pour a drink, and the other patrons were mostly regulars, some of whom have been coming here for decades. There are also several big LCDs playing the games. My wife and I had a great time and look forward to visiting again soon.
Best and oldest bar in Santa Clara country! Frank and Elva are the best bartender I’ve had the pleasure to met! Old school charm, magic and history. Elva cooks great Mexican food on Fridays!
