Best KPortal Reviews

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.
This place is one of a kind. More character than any other restaurant or bar I’ve been to in the South Bay.
Great spot to figure out what's going on in the area. Plenty of friendly people there to sort you out proper and shake away the haze
Welcome back to the 1950s! Amazing place, unchanged by time, with original decor and good food with friendly service. Note that there are two doors, one to the cocktail bar which was loud and dominated by a TV and equally loud barman surrounded by people who looked as if they lived there, and another for the restaurant which was completely empty when I was there but set for full dinner service.
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!
Frank is awesome! Happened upon this gem on a bike ride and will definitely make it a destination.
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!
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.
