Ch11 Cellars — Restaurant in San Jose

This place is awesome! From the moment you walk in, there's a fun and social vibe that just makes you want to stay. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable--they really know their stuff when it comes to cider, and the whole setup is perfect for hanging out with friends or just relaxing with a great cider. Plus, it's dog-friendly, which is always a big bonus for me.

I'm already excited to see what fun flavors they roll out next! It sounds like they'll be introducing more flavors in the coming weeks, and I can't wait to try them.

Other than a handful of seats at the bar, the “tables” were all barrels and in total the place had about 15 stools. There is a shuffleboard near the doors but it doesn’t seem to be leveled because we witnessed someone‘s game piece return to them when sent from the side farther from the wall. It seems to be dog-friendly so there was some barking and one was off leash. But the fake vines and string lights hung from the ceiling made nice decor and overall we had a lovely time sipping...

Must visit if you're in the area! Set in a trendy industrial spot with some other cool businesses. This place brews ciders and perrys which is quite unusual nowadays since everyone wants high hopped IPAs. All the drinks we tasted were really well balanced flavors. The bar and seating area is right next to the brew tanks. There's plenty of seating and staff were friendly. Definitely a good spot to chill and have a few jars. I will say the Pearracuda and the Queen of Berries were particularly excellent and worth a try. There was a food truck nearby if you wanted to grab a bite. Overall I really...
