Compared to the average sports bar, Double D’s is like a luxury stadium suite. With a couple of dozen large screen TVs showing every major sport simultaneously, there’s always something to watch even if there isn’t an important game. This place has become so popular that you can’t even get in the door without a reservation if there’s a major event like the Super Bowl.
The massive menu offers a large variety of traditional American comfort food including salads, sandwiches, burgers, pasta, and large plate entrees. The portions are huge and priced accordingly. Appetizers/starters (wings, garlic bread, calamari, etc.) are in the mid-teens. Sandwiches, burgers, pastas, and pizzas are around $20 and up. Main entrees and pastas are in the high $20s. This spot definitely isn’t for you if you’re expecting cheap bar food.
I met a friend for lunch and we sat in one of the spacious indoor booths. He ordered a hot pastrami and cheese on rye which he said he enjoyed. My French dip was good too. The thinly sliced prime rib on a sourdough roll was tasty but a little bit fatty. Both sandwiches were served with crispy fries.
Their draft beer selection leans heavily towards IPAs. We opted for a couple of glasses of Guinness with our sandwiches. Unfortunately, the beer was served ice-cold in small tulip glasses. These guys should know better.
Our tab for two sandwiches and four small beers including tip, tax, and a living wage surcharge, was just under $100. Yikes! Imagine spending fifty bucks for a simple, casual lunch.
Service was adequate but could have been much better considering that the place was nearly empty.
They recently added a permanent covered patio out front, with TVs, heaters, and sun screens. Surprisingly, it doesn’t match the architecture of the building that the owners were so very proud of restoring after their 2016 fire. In fact, it’s so massive that it almost completely blocks the front facade. It’s also near the street at a major intersection so it’s hard to hold a conversation above the traffic noise.
Double D’s is a family-owned business, run by local brothers Dean and Darin Devincenzi (the “double d’s”) who also own the upscale Forbes Mill Steakhouse a few blocks away. It’s consistently been voted “best sports bar in Silicon Valley”. I’ll probably go back to catch a game once in a while, but at these prices I won’t be a...
Read moreWe came here for Super Bowl for the first time this year since our beloved 9ers didn’t make it. What a great place! Been here many times for games and always a good time but this was next level. The entire evening and everything included was well planned out and all the goodies involved. Kudos to Danika and Darren for organizing and thank you for their communication since I can’t always answer my phone at work. Our waitress Anahi M. was PHENOMENAL!!! I can only imaging how busy they were tonight with all the parties but she was great in every aspect. Extremely attentive and friendly and always made sure we were taken care of. Hard working for sure! She deserves a raise or promotion Double D’s!!
The raffles honestly were questionable and how all the entries were chosen but whatever. One table won legit everything plus the grand prize and seemed liked the later arrival entires were sitting on top. Would be nice to have it random draw like a bingo table and wheel or digital game next year for fairness and the amount spent for a ticket but overall fun times. If they can improve the raffle would consider coming back next year with a huge party...
Read moreRetro is obviously a sports bar. Our initial experience with them was on a takeout scenario for one salad, one meatballs and pasta one pizza and two drinks cost us over $100 which is ridiculous. Food was fine but $100 is out of control two days later we went back with the family a large group and not only was it significantly cheaper, but it was significantly less in quantity. This restaurant is not what I would recommend again. The food was good. It was fine but it wasn’t $100 fine and in the end I would seriously not not recommend them. The food was again adequate buttheir way they treat takeouts was just beyond belief so that’s my opinion. I’m sure others think it’s wonderful location wise for people that live in Los Gatos. It’s probably OK but again we need to remember it’s a sports bar and it’s...
