Rock Bottom Campbell (San Jose)

13 taps. 2.50 tasters. Rare to find tasters during Covid. Outside seating. Beautiful staff and customers. Feels like you are on vacation. Good food. Decent quality beers.

This place was close by both our hotel and Kara’s work place. Had a great meal heare with Kara and Andy on our last day in San Jose. Good service and decent food.

Beat the crowd for Sunday evening. Quick seating. Quick service. Cajun fish tacos were great. Not all that many beers on tap, but they’re average or better for the styles. Good experience.

Not bad for a chain. Second to the Denver location.

Made the mistake of stopping here on St Patrick’s day ( though the crappines may persist even after the green puke is cleaned up).

From sitting down to actually being served drinks was 20 minutes, another 40 for food and the food was barely even warm when it showed up. Got attitude for asking to put in a food order and never got any water.

Typical Rock Bottom decor and beers. Nothing really wrong with the beers, but nothing really making them all that great either. Service was good and they had 9 house beers on tap, which was nice. Large bar area with plenty of regular seating in the dining area, too. Serviceable option in an otherwise poor beer area.

Went in early February 2012. Part of a chain - and while it’s evident, it isn’t in your face. Comfortable bar looking into the brewery. Small selection on tap of decent craft beers. Oatmeal stout on cask was very tasty. Their IPA was nice. When I asked for a sample of a couple beers, I got 4 ounce pours! When I ordered a pint I got 20 ounces!! Now that’s value :-)

Good place, but can get very crowded sometimes, the bar area is pretty tight. Usually have a couple very good beers on tap, but the rest are there more for mass appeal. Would be great if they could get another one or two specialty brews on the menu.

In the Pruneyard shopping center. Large bar, good beer, most always busy, good bartenders and staff, good food. Also have a large patio for summer and now it’s enclosed in a tent for winter. A good local hangout for beer, food, sports.
