Patty's Inn, San Jose

This neighborhood watering hole has been around since the 1930s but since the San Jose Arena was built right down the street, its business has seriously increased and it could not have happened to a nicer place. The decor is reminiscent of a 1930s sports bar, which it is and the service is friendly whether it is your first visit or your fiftieth. This is 'the place' to down a few brews before a Sharks game or a concert at the arena. It is also right across the street from the train station. The drinks are cheap and the eats are as well.
