Britannia Arms

British pub with surprisingly good eats! They have a large food menu and we enjoyed everything we ordered. My favorite was the tacos and the Reuben sandwich. The cocktails were a bit too sweet for us.They have a bar area, dining area, and outdoor patio. Service was great.

The best, single word I can come up for this location of the Brit is "Disorganized." I came here with a large group of hiking friends on a Saturday afternoon, after finishing a tour of Almaden Quicksilver. I had called several days before, and was directed to Julia, the person in charge of such things. She was friendly and eager on the phone, saying they would save us some space on the back deck. I promised to call if the attendee count dropped; it didn't.When we arrived on time, however, it was as if our group were a surprise. Did they save space for us as promised? No. We had to split up the group into separated tables to fit (almost) everyone. One or two of us did not have any table surface. Annoying as F.More disorganization - Waitresses didn't keep track of who ordered what, so every single dish was brought out and announced to the *entire deck area* (i.e. including others groups and families). Later, I overheard an owner ask a waitress "Where'd the big party come from?" She replied: "It's on the board". (I guess reading "the board" is optional). When it came time to pay the checks, the waitresses were inconsistent, taking people's words for some things but over-scrutinizing those of others. I ended up paying for an extra beer ordered by the guy next to me. (I couldn't check with him, since he had already payed and left).Yet more disorganization - Half the beers listed on the boards outside were not actually offered on tap any more. One waitress said, with a chuckle, that it had been this way for a while. Haha. (Perhaps "indifferent" might be the Brits' runner-up word)As for the food and beer - it was all just OK (standard pub food). So normally three stars. But since the Brit dropped the ball on everything else, I welcome them to downgrade-ville. When in this area again, our hiking group will be going elsewhere.

They are not your average British Pub and there is nothing wrong with that!O R D E R E D- Fish and Chips- Sausage Rolls- Fried Artichoke- Shepherd's Pie- Mushroom Chicken- Potato SkinsV E R D I C TTheir service is great and their team is so friendly and gave great recommendations on food and drinks. They have such a huge drink selection in by drinks. I'm talking about your mock tails, cocktails, and beers. Their cocktails are so creative and for anyone who just wants to have a good time without a little bit of booze you are in the right spot and for those who do want a bit of booziness to their drink, definitely ask your server or bartender what the monthly cocktail specials are because they change those every month to keep you on your toes! They have some drinks that are more on the fruity side. They also have some that are more on the floral side. You just gotta be specific on what you like and want.Food did not disappoint and to be honest, I didn't know bar / pub food could taste so good, like full restaurant quality. Hot plate, fresh ingredients and oh so tasty! I will tell you this right now that their fish and chips is award-winning because of their secret ingredient which I won't expose, but it is hands-down, the best! My second favorite item is a tough one because it's actually between their shepherds pie and their appetizer sausage rolls, which is like their version of pigs in a blanket. They use a style sausage and if you've never tried it, you have to! Again, you will not be disappointed here in any department whether is drink food or entertainment. Did I mention that their outdoor patio also has TV screens available to watch any sports game of your choice? Well, I just did so don't miss out on having happy hours, birthday celebrations, or any group gatherings here because you will have an awesome time!

Came for The Office trivia- stayed for the good times.Service - friendly and efficient during this Covid time. They were spread a little thin but they did a great job. Food was decent and filling- got the grilled cheese with ham. Not oily or anything and hit the spot.Drinks were good and they had themed drinks! Very fun experience and I definitely would be back if they have another trivia night!

Came on St Patruck's day. Corned Beef & & Cbbsge meal was like $27.00. A bit pricey for me. I just got a hamburger with fries. It was fine, but not the best burger I've ever had. At least they had green beer & jello shots so I could feel festive.

Been going to this place since I was young. Great food, cocktails and staff. Love the weekly entertainment too. Karaoke on Thursdays and Sundays. Great singers here. School of Rock next door and they come sing. The host on Thursday's is one of if not the best in the Bay area. Sunday night guy is just as good. Two different karaoke styles makes it fun to be at BRITANNIA ARMS for karaoke. They also have Local and nationally recognized bands and great DJ's too.

Hosted an event here and the staff was PHENOMENAL. The coordinating of the event with Julia was effortless and smooth. The staff that evening was exceptional at taking our groups food and drink orders and making sure we were well cared for.We will be back!We also had some appetizers for the event that were perfect. The fruit platter was amazing and all the fruit was sweet and perfectly ripe! That's rare for a fruit platter anywhere...Potato skins and chips and guac were delicious as well!

Walking in we loved the vibe. Very old school and vintage. The crowd was mixed from gen z to baby boomers. And everyone was getting along. It was a Thursday and I guess they do karaoke that night. So it was fun seeing a bunch of drunks sing their heart out. Even found ourselves a San Jose Bruno Mars. The drinks were poured proportionately. Not too heavy but not too light. We also ordered the wings and fries, and they were surprisingly good. They got a 4 out of 5 due to the crowd and some overly drunk girls. We will definitely be back though. Nice neighborhood bar to get away too.

I don't come here at night, or to drink. I come here in the mornings for their English Breakfast! It is fantastic. This was one of the first places that I tried an English breakfast and have fallen in love with it and try to order it everywhere I go. I even make it at home but it doesn't taste the same. Their service is great, and during winter they have heaters outside. They also have TVs so if you want to catch a game it's a great environment!

It was good. Britannia Arms have decided to no longer do blended drinks.I'm on the lookout for the next place to watch the Super Bowl, in San Jose area.
