4.6 / 5.0(1,261 reviews)

San Pedro Square Market has a few food vendors including the bar. It was many people when I got there and is hot here as well. It sits right next to its parking garage where patrons can come by here to eat. It’s a very nice area where you can dine and hangout. They even have a stage where performers can sing in front of the audience. It seems that many people come to Downtown SJ for this location, because while I was walking around, there’s not that many people until I came to this market. They even have a water dispenser so that you don’t have to ask for water from any food vendor. Nice place to visit and hang out while at downtown. Variety of food choices, plenty of seating including outdoors, a bit noisy atmosphere but the vibe is awesome. Parking across the street at the garage . Can someone please sell a salad?! Or better yet, open a salad restaurant. Everything is deep fried and greasy and a person can only eat so much pasta or pizza. And maybe a breakfast spot with actual egg dishes. If nobody wants to open early, maybe a current vendor could put an all-day breakfast on their menu. Eggs are cheap and people love hash browns and toast. So simple. Out of the more than a dozen restaurants, there is nothing healthy. I've heard out-of-town people comment on it too. They have the courthouse crowd as a captive audience - people should not have to drive to get a decent meal. It saddens me because I eat there multiple times a week because I work at the courthouse, and I am constantly struggling to decide. It's worth the short walk to Nick the Greek's to get a gyro bowl, which at least has lettuce and tomatoes. I wish they would open a MIXT or Sweet Greens or something similar.

Amazing place overall and a must visit when in San Jose. They have a lot of places and small restaurants. I really loved the Indian restaurant and the small tarts and gelato ice cream. Must visit with your friends!

Beer selection is very good, with multiple bars with large selection of taps. Various food options, all quite good. Outside garden area is very well done, with live music. As long as it doesn't get too crowded, this is a great place to have a few and enjoy the ambiance.
