The Vesper

If you are buzzed after dinner Vesper will bring u to another level. Drinks are lit with hella options. Shot and a beer option is super solid value I got a pilsner & generous shot of 4 Roses 💯🔥💨👊🏽

Honestly, I can't say enough good things about The Vesper, it's manager, it's staff, and the COCKTAILS! I've been a regular patron since its initial opening and was ecstatic that they weathered the pandemic. Thank goodness, because... what a local gem!

Campbell

This has been my go-to place for any occasions, if just for a solitary evening drink and snack with a laptop, or with friends to have a good time. Food, service, drinks, NEVER ever disappoint!! So glad we have something swanky and yummy in Campbell. i've tried many of their cocktails but my fav has been Seven Deadly Sins and the Ansley (w/o the pineapple juice). my go-to starter is always the Caesar salad with anchovy. Just thinking of it now makes me drool...

This is our go to spot for a drink or two or three! Situated in downtown Campbell, the Vesper is best spot outside of Downtown San Jose to grab a pour of your favorite whiskey or we'll crafted mixed drink. For you bourbon enthusiasts reading this, you are going to love this place! A awesome selection of hard to find pours at VERY reasonable prices. ...and those pours are usually healthy ones! The food menu isn't extensive, but the dishes we've tried have been good to very good. The atmosphere is awesome, well laid out and plenty of seating. We usually like to sit at the bar, but even when seated at a table, you don't feel too far away from the action. Bar staff are attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly.

The cocktail menu is absolutely amazing and every single drink we had was spectacular. I don't believe you can go wrong with any of their drinks and showing what type of glass it will be served in is a nice touch. We didn't try any of the good but will likely return. From what we did see served, I'm sure it's the same exact quality as their drink menu.

A great dinner place for a group of people. Service was fast and nice. The vibe was pretty chill. Food was great for sharing. Desserts had multi-layer of textures.

The selections for happy hour drinks and food are great. Their cocktails are unique and carefully crafted. I really liked their prosciutto flat bread and lamb hummus. They perfectly complimented our drinks. The korean ribs are not what I expected because they used an American style BBQ sauce that was really overpowering and tart.

We recently relocated to the area from NYC. And to be honest, we are having some big city withdrawal. And no, SF is not a real city. But surprise surprise, on our date night in Campbell, we discovered a bar that makes us feel like we’re right back in midtown Manhattan. I want to say thank you to Jimmy for being the coolest bartender who made us feel right at home. This was just a perfect night and we look forward to coming back many times to come.

A great place to relax and have fun with your friends. Cozy, elegant, small plates, and special drinks. Highly recommend it!

Absolutely amazing service and delicious cocktails. I particularly enjoyed my mocktails that were absolutely divine. Ended up getting two of the same alcohol-less drinks — the Josie. Highly recommend! The service was excellent too.

This place is the best for a Friday night drink after work. The appetizers on happy hour were delicious! And they accommodated for gluten free. The best part were the drinks. I kept getting the city drink- the one topped with wine- and will be back for this again. Vesper is a great spot but expect crowds and loud acoustics. Not the place for an intimate dinner but better for a Friday night out.

Made a last minute reservation on Saturday night around 8pm. We arrived early, and luckily, there was one open outdoor table available. Service was great. The food and drinks including the water refill came to our table with very good timing at this busy restaurant! We had the Heirloom Tomato Salad -- tomatoes with balsamic, burrata, and melon -- was a great way to start the meal. The mussel toast was AMAZING 😍!!! That's a seafood lover's dream! The Baby Back Pork Ribs with Mongolian sauce was really tasty and tender, and the touch of sesame seed in the cole slaw made it very unique. And my Elderflower mocktail was refreshing and enjoyable.

Awesome cocktails with a flair! Awesome place to bring your date to impress, good prices and right in the heart of the downtown strip, fun fact - have some cocktails and take your date next door to the arcade and play some pinball, excellent date night in Campbell!

The atmosphere at The Vesper is so great. It gives a bit of red velvet speakeasy vibe. It’s intimate but also quite stuffy and hot in there. The service is slow but friendly. The food tastes great. Loved the white bean dip and the cocktails are pricey but taste great!

Good experience on both occasions I have been here. Quick and friendly service, is open till late. Easy to make reservations or walk in. The atmosphere is fun but a bit loud to carry out conversations. Decent vegetarian options and delicious cocktails.

Pretty nice place. Lovely vibe and ambience, has a lounge like feel with a nice bar area and some good cocktails which my colleagues really liked. Would definitely recommend a stop in here especially for a cozy drink. They have a pretty good happy hour for drinks. I was not otherwise impressed with the food, which was presented well, however the flatbread was salty and other items not memorable (had the warm nuts, deviled eggs and hummus). I think the highlights were the attentive staff and the alcoholic drinks. I would stop by again for sure!

Loved the ambiance. Upper level seating is very cozy. A potential place for girl gang hangouts. Not many vegetarian options for food, but in general the menu is very lean. Drink menu is very creative though. Will definitely go again.

Had several cocktails with my better half a few weeks back and wasn't too impressed with anything I tried but I LOVED the food we ordered. I had the Grilled Brie sandwich and it was just the best thing! Will be going back to explore the menu some more.

Vesper was as good as New Campbell's food row can be. More drinks than food to tell you the truth but everyone was happy at our table. Attentive service and great smiles along with fast wine and food table delivery make Vesper a must visit place even for a quick bite. Wine by the glass around $ 10 and beers at $7, with a good selection of " on tap". Try the White mocha beer that was a great tasting beer in a long time! Chevice is so and so but I recommend the Poke dish as delicious!. That and the tray of hummus and you are good to go. On the meaty side get the ribs, they are really good!

First things first - the Manhattan was excellent! Unfortunately, everything else was subpar. The ruffles with Lipton onion soup and sour cream dip for $7 was good, but easily made at home for a fraction of the price. I liked the tomato bisque, but was a bit too close to pizza sauce. The meatballs were mediocre, although the chipotle sauce was good. That brings us to the Korean BBQ ribs - run, do not walk to the exit. Tough, dry as a bone, acidic - nothing Korean about these ribs. At first I was pleased to see 4 ribs instead of the 3 stated on the menu. Not really a good thing as we left two behind. Finally, the beer selection is terrible. Can’t blame Vesper as they didn’t brew them, but they did select them. Bottom line - go for the manhattan (or other cocktail) and skip everything else!

Very mediocre bar honestly not sure why this place keeps popping up as one of the “best bars” in Campbell. The food menu is quite disappointing. We ordered chips and they came straight from a bag — not made in house, not warm, and nothing special. Service was the biggest letdown. Our waitress was unfriendly from the start. I asked a simple question about a cocktail, but she was very hard to hear due to the loud music and background noise. She didn’t really try to clarify or engage, which made the interaction feel cold and unwelcoming. Overall, the vibe didn’t live up to the hype. Service was poor, drinks were forgettable, and food felt like an afterthought. Not a place I’d recommend, and unfortunately not somewhere I’d return to.
