Cafe Stritch - San Jose

Surprisingly great jazz sets in a funky setting with a diverse audience. Oh, and a well stocked bar with happy friendly bartender.

The music and the mood of this place is great. When you get here make sure to order a grilled cheese (add bacon) to enjoy alongside some smooth jazz, solid drinks, and wonderful company.

Phenomenal jazz cafe with fantastic food, cocktails, beer, wine and a lovely, accommodating staff!

Came here for the live jazz. Impressed by the whole experience: food, drinks, vibe, service! The large Mac n Cheese with garlic and onions was PHENOMENAL! Best Mac and cheese I’ve ever had. I had the Sazerac cocktail which was also DELICIOUS! Great alternative to an old fashioned and perfectly balanced. Staff had great suggestions and we’re super friendly. This place is a gem!

For those that like the dive and gems of culture in the downtown area. For jazz lovers and those of the other side of normal. Welcome!
