Can't believe more people don't know about this place. For looking like a nondescript liquor store, it has a fantastically broad array of esoteric offerings, both highbrow and lowbrow. It's marvelous.
Their egg rolls are damn tasty and comically inexpensive to boot. Seriously: eighty cents per egg roll?!? This is one of the fantastic hidden gems of Santa Clara.
Awesomely down-to-earth bar. No hipsters or starched shirts; just generally chill folks looking for a good time. Low on "cachet", and a bit off the beaten path, but a favorite of mine all the same.
A Silicon Valley staple! Grab a pint, a half-priced offering of the night, and take in a Giants game. It's a stellar way to spend an evening or a lazy Saturday afternoon.
The spicier dogs are not messing around! They're full of sinus-flensing fun - totally what I look for in that sort of thing. Heap on some onions and brown mustard and you are *set* for a primo nosh.
Busy as all hell at times! Probably because it's a quality place without $$$ trappings. "I was raised by wolves" is more accurate than "I was raised on grits"... but their fried polenta is MARVELOUS.
The chicken parm, the lasagna, the spaghetti with clams - all excellent choices. Love taking people to this friendly little slightly-off-the-beaten-path place.
