Amazing bar, archeological dream if they could peel back the layers of wallpaper nicotine and debris from the wall and ceiling. Character every single corner of the bar

Just went to the bar, what a great neighborhood hangout. Friendly atmosphere. My friend and I enjoyed the chili verde luncheon.

Love Vahl’s. It is old school and packed with history. We have a deep connection with Vahl’s that dates back to the 40’s.

Frank is a great bartender. Introduces himself, asks my name and did not forget! This place is a throwback to a earlier time. Music played live in the bar. Clientele is older and the atmosphere is casual. Great place to relax! Feels like the sitcom " Cheers". Enjoyed a couple while watching the Giants game.

They treat you like a long lost friend! I knew local's names and everyone that worked there by the end of the afternoon. Loved the live music, even got up and sang a song with the two-person band. Enjoyed the food and drinks as well. Very welcoming. Will return!

Best and oldest bar in Santa Clara country! Frank and Elva are the best bartender I’ve had the pleasure to met! Old school charm, magic and history. Elva cooks great Mexican food on Fridays!

Really nice place with a comfortable vibe that makes you feel right at home. Frank the bartender was friendly and quick to pour a drink, and the other patrons were mostly regulars, some of whom have been coming here for decades. There are also several big LCDs playing the games. My wife and I had a great time and look forward to visiting again soon.

Vahl's was told to expect 30-40 people at our lunch and about 100 showed up. They didn't miss a beat and did a fine job. Service was great and the food was perfect. They handled it like they were prepared for it.

Welcome back to the 1950s! Amazing place, unchanged by time, with original decor and good food with friendly service. Note that there are two doors, one to the cocktail bar which was loud and dominated by a TV and equally loud barman surrounded by people who looked as if they lived there, and another for the restaurant which was completely empty when I was there but set for full dinner service.

A 60’s decoration restaurant, a cozy cocktail room, a large dining room, fun to hearing some customers singing 🎤 oldies song. Friendly servers. A nice place to hangout. Bartender is very easy, he made me a drink according to my requested. But Food is not recommended.

The meal was fine, but the ambiance was a bit sad. This is a place stuck in the past for better or worse. You get a strong impression from the decor of what this place once was, but little care has been put into keeping this former gem polished or relevant.

Friendly staff. Unfortunately no meals on a Sunday at 7 pm. What was a pity, because it was the only Restaurant near the hotel. The foodtruck Las Grullas was there for us.

There was a party of 18, we came because it was a Saturday Night, and we thought we could enjoy the ambiance, (which is fun and funcky) expected entertainment, as it was advertised. They decided NOT TO HAVE ANY, as they also had anothrer huge party (that took over). Trouble could have been avoided if more staff had been there to help, AND if the doors to the big group had been closed. It was way too noisy to carry on any kind of conversation. Food was served nearly 90 minutes after ordering. It was ok, but not like if we were special. Sorry Vahl's, most of us will not be back.

I have heard about this restaurant since I was a teenager. Well I finally had the opportunity to try it. The menu was limited I think they had four choices so I ordered the chicken cordon bleu. When it was brought out I was surprised to see it had mushroom gravy on it. I've never heard of it with gravy on it. It was horrible. The gravy seemed from a can as did the mushrooms. It wasn't cooked thoroughly and it looked like the frozen version I had bought before. The reason I think it's frozen is because my bf ordered the same thing and it they were identical. If it were fresh they wouldn't be the same because it's hand made and nothing handmade has a twin. Well in top of that the price was $18.50. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone unless you just want to drink then the bar isn't a bad choice.

Can't rate where you can't eat. Says lunch and dinner but they informed me on arrival only lunch Thursday thru Sunday. Looked like a cool place
