Ended up here with my cousins during Thanksgiving break. It was a good crowd, good music, good service, and a lively vibe. Nina was our server and she made sure we were taken care of. Though seating is limited, there's enough space to move around and mingle.

This spot was a perfect stop for our holiday bar hopping on a Sunday night! It kinda full in there but there was still lots of space to move around and was not too hard to find a seat. I really loved all the Christmas decor and the cups that the holiday drinks came in. My friend and I both got the sippin Santa which was a little on the stronger side but perfect way to get the buzz going for the night!

Came for the Christmas Bar on a Sunday night and had a great time! Decor and holiday themed drinks were on par! They were slammed but our server was kind and courteous even though we were kind of in a rush! Will definitely be back next holiday season!

Was walking by on a Friday night and decided to check it out since there wasn't a line. So glad we did! We walked in and it wasn't overly crowded, a couple got up from a table and we were able to snag it. A friendly worker (possibly the manager) came over right away and cleaned it off. He brought us water and let us know the server would be there soon. It was nice to chill in a both and have someone bring drinks to you! We didn't order food but I got a cocktail and my partner had a beer. I tried to order a tequila drink but they couldn't sub it out for vodka so I ordered the one with wine, can't remember the name but it was like an apreol spritz. Pretty good! I really loved the vibe and decor here. It's so fun to check out festive places.

The Sippin' Santa has arrived in San Jose for 2024! Stopped by 55 South for a pre-wedding event and I felt like I was taken back to Hawaii with the holiday decor and Mele Kalikimaka sign! Each of the holiday drink comes in a cute colored mug that is also purchasable to take home as a unique souvenir. The Sharkey cup was tempting to take home! The Mai Tai was really delicious, fruity and easy to drink but packs a punch! The Surf Nut was creamy, but the alcohol taste shown through so I didn't like it as much. Both were strongly made; I didn't need any other drinks to keep going! The cheese bread we ordered had generous white cheese flowing from the cuts and easy to share. Overall great experience and would love to return again.

Finally got around to visiting this spot! Excited that it was during their Christmas themed! Love the decor and festivities. Service was a bit slow and very packed! They had good music and a few tables to sit down. My friends and I got lucky because we were standing near the tables and a girl approached us asking if we wanted their table since they were leaving. SCORE!! Such cute Christmas cups and decor. I enjoyed the Yule Tide so much that I ordered 2! Overall great vibes and drinks here.

This spot is another one of my favorites when I'm hanging out with friends downtown. Not only do they have themed drinks that are delicious, their food is pretty good too! The first time I went here was with friends to get some content for our foodie IG pages. We were feeling snack-ish, but could decide what to get on the menu because everything looked so good! In true foodie fashion, we ordered almost one of everything and shared. Delish! I was shocked to find that everything was super good! Our server was nice enough to give us suggestions, as well. There were no regrets in regards to what we ordered. The food looked so good that I had some younger followers ask if you had to be 21 and over to get in if all you wanted was the food. Another nice thing is that their menu changes regularly to match the seasons. If you haven't tried this spot, I definitely recommend going.

Please never get rid of the braised short ribs or shishito peppers!! Am I allowed to request to bring back the SouthSide Tea?! 10/10, Milk Punch. Always a great visit with no complaints. Everyone there is pleasant. Convenient parking garage and lot. Other great places in walking distance. Definitely a bar hopping scene.
