Team building happens at dinner just as often as it happens at desks. Once your attendees have finished the last meeting, they can head out for a night off filled with camaraderie and connection. Because when the sun sets, San Jose shines. Whether your guests want to have an epic night out or a chill evening kicking back with pals, they’ll find venues and neighborhoods that fit their vibe.
Downtown San Jose is the center for business and after-hours entertainment. In the span of just a few city blocks, your guests will find a variety of trendy eateries, bars and even breweries. Start them off with cocktails at Five Points, one of the city’s most popular craft cocktail bars that pays homage to the melting-pot culture of Five Points, New York. Blending the lore and flavors of old-time saloons and speakeasies with the vibrant culture of San Jose, guests can sip on a Leather Bound Book, made with small-batch bourbon mixed with spices and rinsed with absinthe, or try out a Vatican City for a refreshing concoction of vermouth and lime with a soda float.
Groups of any size will enjoy a night out at San Pedro Square Market. Located across the street from the historic Gonzales-Peralta Adobe and Fallon House, the market is as rich in history and culture as it is in delicious food and drink options. This food hall and community gathering space house local eateries with global cuisines and food-related boutiques under its three roofs. Foodies, coffee connoisseurs, beer buffs and wine aficionados will all find something to delight their palates.
The SoFA District just south of downtown is a thriving nightlife spot, with lounges, bars and clubs that stay busy well into the night. Mama Kin is a reimagined live music venue with deep roots in the community. Attendees can sit outside for drinks and conversation or enjoy musical performances from the comfort of a booth and sofas. Or your guests can head down to the basement speakeasy Haberdasher, known for its artfully crafted cocktails in a unique atmosphere — and for its collection of rare and highly sought-after whiskeys.
In San Jose, your attendees will find a vibrant nightlife to continue bonding with colleagues after the day’s events. With everything from intimate lounges to lively clubs, guests will find their new favorite spot that they will want to return to again and again.
