Caravan Lounge

Had a couple Don Julio shots ($13/shot) with friends, the bartenders were very sweet and attentive. The bar got pretty packed but they did their best to get everyone's drink requests in. Love this bar, the vibes are great and everyone is pretty chilled n laidback. The music was great last night, would love to come again.

Caravan lounge is a nice dive bar in downtown San Jose. Went to the spot after a concert and it was chill. They had cheap 40 ounce cans so I definitely cannot complain. Good vibes cheap drinks would be back and recommend.

The van is always a good time! Definitely a dive bar, but it's chill. They do lots of themed nights and different events as well. Karaoke Keyboard is a great time if you've never been!

Fun spot. Late night entertainment. Support local comedy.I come here on Wednesdays for their comedy open mic. Rachel is super kind and humble and it's very cool to be around a fun different atmosphere in San Jose. I always order a Coke with lemon. Lots of seating. Open mic gets packed. Yet somehow everyone behind the bar seems to be able to provide service with a smile. Don't forget to tip your bartender.

Had not been here in a long time. It's a little dice bar, my kind of place! It has made improvements, and the patrons were welcoming . Apparently they also serve pozole once a month. I'll have to check it out!

Old reliable. This is a perfect bar. A safe place. The people behind the bar are professionals, prepared for anything. Melissa, the young KP, and Miss Rachel, to name a few, will handle whatever you need. The pool table plays GREAT, and only takes 3 quarters. They have live music, comedy, etc. My favorite nights in downtown used to be split between here and Cinabar. Only one of the legends lives on. The Caravan MUST be treasured and must never die.

Only punk bar in San Jose! Great live bands. Great bartenders and peeps. Kiddie corner from Cesar Chavez Park.

Tbh this place hella lit for their Cherry Colored Funk Nights! The DJs go a little too hard and if you ain't ready, you ain't ready.Cash only and $5 beers!!! 10/10 for a bestie night out

Great little dive bar. Bartenders were super chill. Good prices for nice pours. Old school vibe. Everything you need in a dive. They have a pool table.

This all pertains to the service! I met a friend at the bar who got there before me and not sure what he told the female bartender before I showed up about me, I thought we were friends but maybe he just learned shortly before then that I thought of him as a friend and nothing more so he might have bad mouth me to her needing someone to talk to. I don't know but when I arrived I just asked him what I should have after having a really long day with no lunch and he told me to ask her for suggestions since she was the bartender and he always drank the same thing. She didn't know what to suggest. I told her I liked whiskey she said whiskey and Coke. I said I'm not really into soda so she suggested ginger ale and I said okay. Second drink I wanted it in a shorter glass with just a splash of ginger ale cuz it was still too much soda in it for me. She then proceeded to show me a science experiment about them being the same amount of liquid in the tall glass and the small glass. I said thank you I'd still like a small glass please she gave me a drink and a small glass without any garnish. I thanked her. Later on the guy I was with got real moody and didn't like some of the things I was telling him he should maybe look at about himself meaning to slow down in life so he doesn't burn out, yada yada and he started to get in my face get aggressive and I told him you need to go and he got up and he left and the people at the end of the bar saw that and called me over to join them. I went over to sit down and join them and found out that we all went to the same high school just a few years apart from one another. So the waitress thing that I went over to that group brought me my check to close out because the guy I was with previously had me buy my own drink after he bought me the first one. So I signed out of that tab thinking nothing of it. So in a bit the guy that was in the group that I was now sitting with offered to buy me a drink and he said What are you drinking and I said well I'd like a whiskey drink but I don't know what. He said I'll get you when I'm drinking and he called the waitress over and he ordered a drink. She brought it to him, but then when she found out it was for me,... She took it back and said,"I'm sorry she's cut off, I'll refund you your money!" I looked at her very shocked I said, "Why am I cut off??" (I only had two drinks) And she said, "because you were rude and disrespectful." (Omg... I even complimented her on her nails earlier so I had no idea what she was talking about!) This point, I had nothing to lose, so I proceeded to tell her, "I think it's YOU not me that was being that way." - The guy went over to talk to her, and he came back and apologized that he couldn't get me a drink. I ended up leaving completely mortified and humiliated. SO BEWARE OF THE LADY WITH A RED FINGERNAILS WORKING BEHIND THE BAR! SHE DOES NOT LIKE WOMEN CUSTOMERS
