Best Cocktail Bars in Pleasanton

EOS & NYX is the new restaurant in downtown San Jose. Been open 1 month and we went last night and they delivered on all fronts. The decor, the service, the food and cocktails. A beautiful two story architectural stunner. Bars on the 1st and 2nd floor. Main dining is on 1 with smaller tables on 2. Every person working that we came in contact with was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and all around pleasant. Ordered meatballs, roasted chicken and pasta. Very creative cocktails. Our check was delivered in a bonsai with a few sweet treats. So happy we have this place in DTSJ. It was very busy so make a reservation. Also great for big groups.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Locanda Wine Bar for our work holiday lunch, and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. The staff greeted us warmly and were attentive throughout the entire meal, ensuring we had everything we needed without being intrusive. The menu offered a great variety, and everything we ordered was not only beautifully presented but also bursting with flavor. The dishes were fresh, expertly prepared, and perfectly balanced. It’s clear that the chefs take great pride in their craft. The atmosphere was comfortable and professional, yet relaxed enough for conversation. We were able to enjoy our meal without feeling rushed, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It's definitely a place I’ll return to in the future!

Absolutely awesome time! Great food, outstanding ambiance and cocktails! Highly recommend making a reservation! We’ll be going back many times!

The service was outstanding. We had reservations and just waited a short while to be seated. Once seated and throughout our meal, our server was attentive and pleasant. The cocktails were very good. A couple people ordered the lamb chops and loved them. Others ordered the frenched ribeye and it was cooked as ordered. I had the blackened salmon which was a tad salty. The evening was lovely despite the extreme noise level. We were in the main front room and it was so loud in there, it was difficult to have a conversation without straining to hear. That was probably the downside of our evening. The restaurant is beautiful and there are several Instagram photo spots. If we dine here again, we’ll come earlier when it’s not as crowded. Our reservation was at 7:30 pm on a Friday evening which is probably prime time.

We had a great time. The place is very cozy after a long week of work. The food had very generous portions and was yummy.
