thirsty.bar — Restaurant in Santa Clara

This review pertains to having a daytime beer or 6. I've not been to Thirsty later than 5:00 PM. I hear it's a hoot in the evenings, but if you're of the opinion that you can't drink all day unless you start early, then sit down, this review will point you in the right direction.

Thirsty. Bar is my favorite place to grab a beer during daylight hours. If you're looking for a quiet place with a long bar, a good selection of (rotating) taps, and a wall of booze to satisfy a craving, then this dive bar is for you. Do you want to shoot risque banter back and forth with bartenders who know their job, will pour drinks at whatever pace you want, take in your life story and share sassy anecdotes of their own? This bar is for you. Do you want to be able to throw on a song that occurs to you on the jukebox but not be bombarded by a wall of headache-inducing sound all day? Still for you. And if that's not enough, there are pool tables.

Bartenders Trinity and Michelle are the greatest - I'll happily swing by when I can as long as they're pouring drinks....

First time ever visit to thirsty although I'd consider myself a life time local. Stopped in on Sunday April 28th around 430-5pm for a drink, friends, and the sharks game. Great atmosphere, satisfactory selection of beer and wine and had a great time with old friends before i head back to south east asia.

It was literally a one woman show behind the bar taking care of all patrons in a timely accurate fashion. She 100% deserves a raise! Top noth professionalism and a hard worker and very sociable.

Will visit again as soon as I'm back in the states...

Bartender last night kept making comments about how I wouldn't be getting buzzed at all drinking non-alcoholic beer (I was drinking Heineken 0.0 alcohol at the time). Once would have been fine, and I would have just let it go, but she clearly wasn't comfortable with me drinking a non-alcoholic beer. I'm confident in myself and don't need to explain my drink choices to anyone. She was nice and friendly otherwise, but she can keep her ongoing, sassy remarks to herself about what I'm...
