The Bears Cocktail

Always a good time here the bartenders are great! Drinks made perfectly as well.

Great place to go for pool tournaments... tables aren't the best.

been here twice with my lady, she seems to go every sunday and loves it! so if she is HAPPY so am I...

I love this place. Neighborhood bar with very friendly bar tenders and a cool crowd.

First rate dive bar serves great drinks, has a great clientele and a great bartender. Shoot some pool or just belly up to the bar for a night of drinking. See you there.

The ultimate dive bar, great for playing pool and a cold beer. Mostly regulars but everyone is welcome!

Good strong drinks. Chill atmosphere, double shot was more like a triple! There's pool and darts, though they're the plastic kind....not my fave but safer than metal lol.

Great vibes amd energy from the bartender. She was always on top of who needed the next drink and would hear what you asked for even if you thought you were ignored. It was a pretty poppin night. The music was good, and pool tables stayed active til closing.

whenever i move to a new place first thing is find bar that opens 0600. booya! this morning the cooze in my house brought her developmentally disabled nonspeak at me. left home too early for work. but not too early for Bears. Dave + whiskey + pbr = ready to go to work nuff said

I love that they open at 6. Get to play a few games of pool to start the day! Friendly crowd morning, noon, night. Tables are in good shape, too.

This is our go to bar. Bartenders are super nice and the prices are very reasonable. Plenty of parking in the back. Has pool tables. Big screen TVs. Long bar for plenty to enjoy.

I had a good time at the Bears. Friendly atmosphere. The Bartender Dave. He is the best bartender around. I sure will go the Bears again. Thanks Dave.

Loves the bartenders don't drink but a gang of fun

A dive. Most people there were old enough to drink during the cold war. Extra star because the bathrooms were clean.

Something of a local neighborhood dive bar. Great service and interesting customers.

Fun place to play pool ... ya gotta love 4$ drinks right?

thursday-monday nights are great! especially LIZ the bartender, friendly, lovely all around great person. mix crowd ,pool turnaments on thursdays. FUN FUN FUN

Cozy dive bar with friendly local crowd, two pool tables, and pool tournaments more nights than not.

This may very well be the quintessential dive bar. Very friendly crowd and Wendy is one of the best bartenders I know.

You don't order a cosmopolitan cocktail at this joint. However, this place delivers exactly what it's exterior promises. A down and dirty dive experience, with plenty of grittiness to go for days. Blue collar folks here play pool, buy lotto tickets, smoke cigarettes and will keep it real for you.

I have been to this bar a few times and it’s a dive, which is my kind of bar. One thing I look for in a dive bar is decently priced drinks, beer selection, and karaoke. Although, the beer selection isn’t amazing, it’s a dive bar, they are decently priced. Also they have karaoke and as a bonus feature pool tables. I wish there was a platform of some sort for the karaoke but I still had fun. Also there is plenty of parking behind or in front of the bar and for those who live in campbell, it’s a cheap Uber ride home or to other bars nearby.

It is a lost jewel of bars in San Jose. It is definately a smaller less flashy hole in the wall, but that is it's charm. The bartender was attentive and really friendly. The drinks were on point. And they have this dinking game, akin to Yatzee. I won 6 free drinks.

Great prices. Nice crowd. Easy place to hang. Went after Happy Hour - can't imagine how good that is. Nice bartender. Pool tables if you like that.

It's a mixture of Same degenerates that have been hanging out for 20 years and some younger kids trying to be tough and prove themselves to whatever.... But I like this place and will always go in when everyone else in the city had called last call, thr Bears will always remain open until 2am.

New owners are rumored to have hired a new manager. Big mistake if thats true. Most everyone will follow Mehgan. We don't need an annex of the 49er.

Just love the bartender tonight Gina, great girl very friendly and on top of her game unlike the manager who's rude and even comes in on her nights off with her boyfriend drunk acting like she working or owns the bar. Gina is a breath of fresh air as sweet S can be and doesn't care of you are a female or Male she treats people with kindness and respect.

I used to drink at this place on a fake ID that was 1980. They had pigs nuckles in a big jar of vinegar. One time this guy punched his girlfriend right in front of us left her bleeding. It was so sudden no body could do anything and he ran out of the bar. I was 18 and was stunned. It was 1980 and it was a biker bar named “The Three Bears” in San Jose California. Also they had those had boiled eggs in vinegar. Gross! I think I used to cash my paycheck there.

Great place to play pool, they're always busy (I guess that's a good sign), lots of tv's for sports. Everyone's always so nice. My only complaint is that their bathrooms are... ummm yeah. They need help. Fix the bathrooms, and that'll get this place back up to 5 stars.

Typical hole in the wall bar w regulars & 2 pool tables but 1 table is missing pool balls. It was alright!

It Used to Be A Great Place...now the Only Great Thing About the Bears....is DAVE....THE BARTENDER...THE BEARS HASN'T BEEN THE SAME...SINCE TONY PASSED AWAY.

I was under the impression that I could enjoy myself here but I had a mediocre time. Not interested in returning!

I should have stayed in my hotel! I asked the clerk at the local gas station where I could get a drink and relax...unfortunately he sent me to this joint. Rude staff, mediocre food and it just seemed like I was a bother to everyone there. I will never be back!

Man where do I start with this place. This has the best service. They even treat their customers the right way. But I am a liar so I know that this place is a nightmare with terrible employees in the bar.

Mean & rude to everyone not a good way to accept repeat customers. Never going to come back. Learn to respect your customers

And the Rudest bartender across the universe award goes toooo……. KARINA! congratulations Karina! come on up here and receive your award 🏆🏆🏆

New ownership is running it straight into the ground. Plenty of great places in San Jose, this isn’t one of them

I'm so disappointed! A patron was bit by the Bartenders' dog and severely hurt! I witnessed the manager tell him that he couldn't return to the bar ever again! How is this decision fair? The manager Sharlene had this conversation with the patron in front of other patrons, so unprofessional! I couldn't believe what I was witnessing! The owners should be ashamed of themselves! My friends and I will not be returning to this bar!

I cannot stress this enough, AVOID THIS BAR AT ALL COSTS!!! I was in town and decided to try it out since I had the evening free before my business meeting the next morning, and let me tell you I regret even stepping foot in this place. Within 5 mins I was asked 2 TIMES if I would be interested in "making some extra money" back in the bathroom! What kind of place is this???
