The Elegant Pub

Latin Friday the best tropical Latin music. Viernes tropicales con lo mejor de la música tropical. Con DJ RAMIX

My good friend wanted to see some of her friends play in their Mexican Punk Rock Band, and I said "Girl, I am so down!" We carpooled over and boy was I surprised!Parking outside wasn't much of an issue for a busy Saturday night. At the door, we were carded and were let right in. The bar is on the left in the back. They can make most cocktails and have a fair selection of beers on tap. The bartenders are all very friendly. The venue is a little on the older side, but it has character. Wood finishing on some of the booths. The bar is massive and divey. To the right of the entrance is where there is the music venue. It's a big open space with it's own restrooms and space to dance. Again, not the most eloquent place, but a fun little venue! The band rocked out and the sound system worked well. The beer and cocktails were made well and the prices didn't break the bank.Overall: The place itself isn't quite Elegant, but you'll have a fun time!

They get stars for just being open late on a weekday, and one of the few bars in the area. But other than that, there's nothing really "elegant" about this pub IMO.First, they have a sign as you enter, stating "free pool" Mon-Wed.. then inside, not only is there only one pool table, but the worker says it's not available till after 11:30pm due to League. I didn't come there for pool, just an odd observation.There was plenty of seating available on a Tuesday night (booths and bar), but also a good amount of locals just hanging around which made it feel somewhat crowded. And when the bartender went for a smoke, leaving the bar unattended, it seemed many of the customers joined her. It did somewhat smell like cigarette smoke inside. The bartender was nice though and she was attentive to our needs, communicated well (even when she was stepping outside), and provided good service. We just had a couple mixed drinks (which were pretty weak compared to other places), shared some casual conversation, and caught a glimpse of the NBA playoffs on the medium-sized TV screen (they only had two TV's at the bar, but good picture quality, no sound.. instead they played random music in the background).For a friendly neighborhood bar, it's a decent laid-back spot, located in a low-key strip mall plaza. But I wouldn't go out of my way to return here.

It's always a great time hanging out at the pub lots of friendly regulars and amazing staff.

The bar's business has really slowed down since the adjacent "Evergreen Inn" shut down, but there's still a limited menu of appetizers available.The regulars need to stay regular, and they need new custom, or I can see this place tanking too.Please come in, since it's always been a fairly cool hangout, at the "neighborhood " atmosphere is still the same. Please don't let it go away.

I stopped in with two of my girlfriends for a few drinks and it was just as I remembered -- a small low key neighborhood pub. Bartenders are sweet. Drinks are not overly expensive. Full bar so you can order any of your favorite drinks. Small pool table. No DJ but there is a modern jukebox ($1 to $2 per song) and you can download an app to add funds or to choose songs.Crowd gets heavy by 9pm or so. Security scans images of your picture ID on Fridays and Saturdays after a certain time -- I guess there have been big brawls in the past and this policy probably controls it a bit more.Dress code is strictly enforced for men. No hats, baggy pants, and I think shirts or sweaters that may imply gang affiliation (I overheard one of the security guards).Other than that, it's a cool spot to grab a few drinks with some good company.And by the way, the brunch and lunch food here is absolutely excellent. Real hearty, hardcore diner style type food. Check them out on Sunday mornings.

If you're looking for something chill, low key, and are in need of a few drinks- The Elegant Pub is for you!! Came here one night due to our desire to keep the fun rolling by tossing back more drinks and rubbing elbows with a few strangers.Do be advised that The EP does have a dress code and ID is an absolute MUST! A few things that must be avoided are baggy clothing [not even baggy plain white tees], jerseys [of any type], & gang affiliated clothing or tattoos. The pub comes fully equipped with security guards so sneaky attempts are done at your own risk.Kudos to the DJ and his selection of music- straight hip hop. The establishment's pricing may be a bit pricier than other locations but they have a pool table for you to enjoy and the option of purchasing foods to snack on while you quench your thirst.

nothing amazing. You enter from the Inn side. The night I went there was a LGBT benefit show with rock bands (pretty neat with the live music). Definitely crazy but fun! And who doesn't love live music?Paid cover of $8 and had a drink. I wouldn't suggest ordering cocktails, my Moscow mule was sour AF. Not sure what gave me a bad stomach ache at 3AM.There's one pool table as you enter the bar area on the left side. The bar is off to the right side as you enter and there's some booths by the wall. typical east San Jose decor. It's chilly and divey-- so if that screams you, then here you have it!

The bartender accused me of having used a fake the last time I was in the pub even though I've never had a fake in my life. Her baseless accusations and kicking me out was extremely unprofessional and made me wonder if she was having an episode. If you're in a younger demographic that can legally drink I highly recommend taking your business elsewhere. I have been here two times before with no problem, but after tonight I will never be coming back here again.

The pub is connected to a restaurant that had a band playing with karaoke. It was actually quite good and entertaining. Surprised such a place exists in a strip mall in Evergreen
