Floodcraft Brewing Co. — Restaurant in San Jose

Floodcraft Brewing. So I particularly like this location for a number of factors. First being is that it's connected to whole foods while I don't do a lot of shopping here I do like picking up food for lunch! Whole food's itself has a great little selection of local beers ranging from ciders to ipa! A little + is that they allow you to purchase beer downstairs and drink upstairs at the bar not forcing you to purchase from them directly. No floodcraft doesn't have a huge variety but there menu is always changing and they do have a nice variety. I don't always like what they are serving but more often then not they have something incredibly tasty to me lol I love the fact this location is just off downtown away from the usual hustle bustle bars. It also serves as a great little pregame spot before heading to the sap center for events or hoping on caltrains before heading to a giants game. The upstairs patio is open and usually a nice breeze. And night they have ceiling heaters that keep things at a comfortable temperature! Now I took one star away for one reason only seating is a little less than adequate. This place it does tend to get very popular and busy leaving pretty much standing room only, sometimes seats clear quickly sometimes they don't but it's lacking and definitely leave something to be desired. All in all I recommend this little spot to anyone looking for something new in the...

Blink and you’ll miss this elevated, second story taproom located above Whole Foods. I dropped in around 6 on a Wednesday and the place was poppin like the face of a teenager that just hit puberty. Luckily I was able to order relatively quickly and even luckier, I found a seat that overlooked the intersection with a view of the San José Shark arena, the fabled Shark Tank. The weather was great. The crowd was animated. The bartenders were tag teaming the line like the iconic WWE champs The Hart Foundation. And the Riwaka Juice Double IPA and Textured Shapes Triple IPA were delicious, golden sun goddess kisses to my lips.

Notes: there’s an elevator for those that aren’t good with stairs and the restroom is on the first floor, but ask for the code ahead of time or you’ll be sorely...

Loved this place in many previous visits but tonight was a different story. My wife and I showed up around 7:30, they closed at 8. The first bartender was wasted and couldn’t open a wine bottle for the customer in front of me. He asked for a glass of red wine 3 times and she tried to pour white wine all 3 times. After that I ordered a draft beer. She poured it so badly 1/3 of the beer was foam. She filled the rest with a squeeze bottle full of water to make the foam “disappear”. After that she left, trashed. The closing bartender came on and I told her what happened and that I wanted another beer. She scoffed at me, poured me a random beer that I didn’t order and slid it to me as if to say “screw you guy” no clue what’s going on at this place but I won’t be going back...
