Have been here a few times and definitely enjoyed myself every time. V bar is the hidden gem of San Jose for sure. My go to drink is the Santana 75, and Bruno makes it to perfection. I know some of these reviews speak negatively of the security, but I respectfully disagree. They actually have a nice security presence, and you should feel good about that, because we know people can get a little rowdy with a few drinks in their system. Mackenzie, is my favorite. He's super sweet, personable yet commands a presence when he enters the room. I always feel good when I know he's working because I know it's safe and any nonsense will get handled in a firm yet professional way.

I used to come here regularly when I was in grad school, so it brings back memories, taking those elevators up to the third floor of Hotel Valencia. The place is still as lovely as I remember, upscale, with dim red lighting inside and an inviting outdoor space with a beautiful fountain at the center. During my recent visit, the outdoor space was covered and felt like it was heated inside the patio enclosure, a perfect setup during the colder season. There was plenty of seating available throughout on a Sunday night, bar seating, lounge seating, and outdoor seating. It was nice to have options, rather than the weekend crowds I remember. We got a few cocktails (wild watermelon, raspberry lemon drop, and moscow mule), and they were all made well, tasty and strong... as I'd expect based on the high costs. Service was standard, not super attentive, but good enough. However, they tried to overcharge us $30 extra! Honest mistake, maybe, but I think it's careless, especially for a place that charges $20+ per drink. It was quickly fixed, and we still had a good experience regardless.

Had an awesome time at V Bar last Thursday night. Drinks were perfectly balanced and came out quick thanks to our bartender Aaron. He was a ninja behind the bar. He was quick, attentive, and overall a great person. His service created a pleasant experience for me and my wife. I think this has become our spot now.

Good happy hour food selection and courtyard area is nice when the fountain is on. Staff is very friendly, our bartender Aaron was knowledgeable and helpful. We will return in the summer and try the roof top bar he recommended.

Always a good time when we hit VBar. The location and the atmosphere is great, especially if you make it to Cielo first, the rooftop bar, and then make your way inside. Depending on when you visit, you will find different crowds who are in the area for different events. I love the red lighting of the bar. Makes for fun selfies. The bar tenders are nice and knowledgeable. Jairus, one of the bartenders, gives great recommendations, when I'm not ordering my usual of whiskey and coke.

Every time I go to the V Bar, you walk through the metal beads and are greeted by kind bartenders such as Aaron. They're quick and efficient, and always willing to have a good conversation when they have the time. Best bartender staff on the row.
