Elevated American eats & craft cocktails in the rustic-chic dining room or on the expansive patio.

We were barhopping in San Jose and happened to come across SP2 Communal Bar + Restaurant, so we decided to walk in—and I’m glad we did. The place was nicely decorated with Christmas decorations, giving it a really festive and welcoming vibe. They also had some cool holiday drinks, especially one that came in a National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation eggnog moose cup, which was awesome and nostalgic. Another drink came in a fun lightbulb-shaped cup, which was a nice touch. Overall, it’s definitely a great spot to check out, and the drinks were pretty good too. Would for sure stop by again.

Don’t bother to go here! Our brunch experience was horrible. Where do I start! We were given dinner menu first despite confirming about the menu. Service is super slow, our orders weren’t taken for the longest time. The waitress forgot to get our mains. Food lacked seasoning and tasted bland. I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone.

Amazing experience. We were walking around and passed by this place. Unfortunately, they were not open at this time, but we came back during opening hours. So glad we came back because we would’ve spent the entire night here. It was fantastic.
The stimulating conversation from Link, Don and Lex with their input on what to see and what to visit while in San Jose was phenomenal. Will 100%… no will 110% come back here. The food superb, the drinks phenomenal and the atmosphere perfection. Highly recommend.

Food was okay. I’m disappointed in the quality. I used to come here nearly every week. The oysters were flavorless. The ribs… What happened?!? I used to order 2-3 servings if these to take home. The pork belly was disappointing. The burrata and beet salad were the best part. Chicken wings were cooked perfectly. I enjoyed the smokey chili rub.
The worst part? It took HALF AN HOUR to get the bill. I wish I were exaggerating. Never again.

Consider this place more of a bar than a restaurant. Place was simple but cute. Had an open floor concept to it.
Food: it was okay. Not the best, but it wasn’t the worst. Cocktails were well made. They delivered what and how they needed to deliver!
Service: Super friendly staff! However, cleaning the kitchen (spraying, wiping, brooming, mopping, etc) while still cooking food orders cannot be sanitary!!!!
Ambience: DJ was on point! Definitely would go back on a late spring or summer day/night just for cocktails.
Parking: available either in nearby structures or meter street parking.

Came here on a Sunday and thought that it was not only a spacious open and welcoming place but had amazing options. Taking Mexican dishes and giving them an American twist with the same elevated flavors. Ordered the morning pizza and the chilaquiles with Mole sauce and it was delicious. My friend and I shared both dishes, that are large and very reasonably priced. Definitely enjoyed the ambiance, reasonably price and portions sizes.
Will definitely recommend to a friend. Also a champagne bottle for $30 is not a bad deal whatsoever, left toasty and full.

Came here for a quick brunch bite and was SHOCKED at how good the food was. Fried chicken wasn’t heavy—just the right oil temp. And the slaw wasn’t drenched in mayo, just a nice clean dressing to accompany crispy potatoes and ribs. I’ll definitely be back.

Since the day this place opened. It has been a delight. Definitely on the list of some of the best happy hour in downtown San Jose. Consistency is king and with this spot consistency is on point. Everything from the sticky ribs to their warm burrata cheese, the food is great. I understand there. Chef is very talented and is indeed keeping the bar high. Happy hour drinks are a good deal, and if you get there early enough, you can find a seat at the bar or outside on the covered patio. I’m glad they’ve survived and are still doing great things.

Had planned to enjoy Friday evening with friends out, but due to a large group celebrating a birthday, despite having reservations, we ended up in corner seats, which wasn’t very enjoyable. The food was way below average . Coming to parking there were many street parking available 5-10min walking distance.

The place is generally very happening every time I have passed by so finally tried it. I do not appreciate that they make their waitresses wear skimpy clothes, especially more so in the winter. Like why!? You will do just fine with having them warmly dressed. I would give this place a 5 star if not for this.
I did love the cocktail I got, it was a coffee one and so good. There was a huge block of ice in the middle and then the drink around it. So no ice chunks weirdly coming in your mouth, and the drink was so smooth and tasty!
