Very nice upper scale dive bar. Staff is very friendly and outgoing. They have charger stations at every table. The English/Irish bartender is hands down adorable! A few years ago she mended my pullover right there at the bar! Who does that and who carries her sewing equipment to her work? To me she is a Greek God! I was there tonight for the first time in about 1.5 years on a Sunday night about 10 and they had a 1 man band! I wasn't watching him because I thought he was just a DJ. Ohhh how wrong I was! This guy was very good! I need to go back next Sunday and inquire about his next gig is and where. In conclusion, yes it's a great place!

Very busy little tavern on a Friday. Service was mediocre, not very attentive by the lady that worked there. The gentleman behind the bar seemed more inclined to take orders. Went with a few buddies after work. No special drinks were asked of the bartenders, kept it simple for them. Very clean facility. Did like the options under the bar where you sit. Pretty neat idea Will most likely visit again, we'll see how things go. Do wish next door Amato's Philly cheeseSteak stood open longer.

  • Vikash Sundor

We were great customers we just asked for picture from the the lady serving at the bar if she can click a picture for us. She was super rude. She just went crazy. I think she has some personal issues. Please get it right coz its bad for business. She probably doesn't want to work whole heartedly. Please get help we as customer come here after long day to relax not take attitude from service. She ruined what would've been a nice Wednesday night. Doubt if we'll ever come back.

  • Linda Caires

Went in for a drink Saturday afternoon walked inside and the bartender was on her phone and talking to a customer at the bar. She never looked up from her conversation to let us know she would be right with us or anything. We stood at the bar for a few minutes the gentleman talking to her started walking away and she calls him back and starts swiping through her pics looking for something. Me and my boyfriend just looked at each other and walked out. NEXT !!! Very rude

  • Atilla Aochqon

The Bar was nice with perfect arrangement in patio but the lady “Jormain” in entrance talked with us in bad behavior and asked us “where are you coming from” we replied her “ we are coming from downtown san jose”. She asked again: why you are coming over there? Are closed the bars in san jose? It means she doesn’t like more customers in patio...... I am educated person but her behavior was too bad and unprofessional with us.

  • Lillian Hernandez

We went there as we have been for year’s. But the raggedy Russian chick with curly hair was rude to me and my friend. Her attitude was horrible and unprofessional. She was letting other people walk right in with out checking their temperature or tell them to buy food. Then had the nerve to tell us as we walked out not to come back. I like everyone else that works at this place but she has a chip on her shoulder.

You know I don't frequent bars I've always felt uncomfortable about it I get worried because on I don't understand socializing very well as you can see in my post for court's bar and lounge but I can tell you this the Bard gender was sweet enough to ask questions about me and get to know me just a little maybe it's because there's a sweetheart of mine that has went to the office for a long period of time .

  • Charlene Preciado

Frank's knowledge on drinks was impressive, outstanding bartender. Friendly, respectful with excellent customer service. Will. Have already been back several times since. This bar is one of my favorite places to unwind after work and have a tasty adult beverage with friends. Thanks to Frank, your appreciation for your customers is appreciated. Charlene Preciado

  • Joe Aiello

Shocked at the drink prices. Charges 20% mixing fee for a Manhattan. Just to stir it. Wine price was high for a marginal wine. Beer prices average. Jukebox was loud and tinny. Some songs were grating. Bartender was spirited and fun. No windows. Feels closed in. Gets loud. Bathrooms were clean. Close to being a great hangout but not worth the price.

  • Sarah Snow

First time at this bar. Great space. It’s small but friendly, clean, with a great selection of drinks. Bartender was the right amount of friendly. No drink or tab mix ups despite our group all having separate tabs. This is a Willow Glen hidden gem!! The perfect place to head to when the locations on the strip close at 10pm! We will be back!!

  • Aaron Race

Nice little spot, great staff they really make you feel welcome. Very casual with an outdoor area with a couple TVs. But what really makes this place amazing and truly worth the 5 stars is the Amotos cheese steak place right next door, they even bring the sandwich over to you in the outdoor area hahaha gotta love it.

  • Tömmy Thümper

This establishment is a great place for people who are into being themselves. The lounge, as well as outdoor connected patio is clean, well maintained and by the coolest staff. I find that working late at the office is good... Thanks to everyone who has made me feel at home. Love this place. ☝️ …

  • Abby Acuna

It's loud you really can't talk. Need to go on certain day's. Only one bathroom. One for women one for men. Don't leave money on edge of counter it's not a tip unless you hand it to bar keep. Otherwise "they will take it" happened to my friend. $15 tip. Just saying.

  • Tyler James

I use to go to this bar all the time until this bartender named Frank decided to kick me out because I accidentally knocked over a glass I was not even intoxicated at all & was not willing to talk to me my friend & one of my cousins that night when it happened

  • Brian Riker

What happened to this place? Last couple times I stopped here the floors were sticky, tables covered in food and spilled drinks and the place stinks of weed from the outdoor area. It used to be a fun spot but the main bartender left and

  • Joewelll Mckenzie

The office is one of my favorite bars in SJ. The staff is incredible. The drinks delicious. The owner handsome. What more can you ask for. Ask for frank. He will always take care of you. Tell him I sent ya. The office is the place to be.

  • WittyBoi

Great bar, good selection of drinks, outstanding service and on top of all that, you get to bring your own food as long as you clean up after yourself. Make sure you come for football Sundays - free hotdog and chili! Had a blast …

  • Kimberly Casuga

I've been to this bar many times and the atmosphere has always been very relaxed, has more of an older crowd. Easy to chat with others and bartenders make sure the bar is clean and take away empty drinks so there's not clutter.

  • Marcell Saldana

Always a good time to go to the office. And they have Hotspot and good music out of the jukebox.

Personally I love this establishment. From the owner to the people who are always there for you behind the bar, I'm surrounded by people who I enjoy being around and hopefully they feel the same way Love you guys Muah …

  • Adam Eberly

Clean and charming. Only one star because there was an issue with me charges. I paid cash but charged to CC $106. I’m sure it was a mistake but nobody will pick up the phone. I’ll adjust rating when you contact me.

  • Matt Lautsch

I LOVE The Office. It's a great dive bar that isn't completely "divey". Pretty nice inside, actually. Great after hours hang out. And there's an outside area to do outside activities, while still in the bar.

  • Stephen Rendon

  • Akhilesh Prasad

Great music through digital jukebox, good ambiance, patio seating outside with smoking. No happy hour at this time Beer on tap IPA - $8 Onion rings were fantastic - $6 and didn't seem microwaved

The Office is a great bar. They have quality liquor, comfortable tables and a nice patio. They recently added a music machine and having live music. Great place for happy hour.

Came at 1:15 and they locked the doors but people where still inside? It’s a bar if you don’t wanna be open till 2 then don’t say your open till 2. We drove for nothing.

Nice clean location with a back outdoor patio. Music on occasion. Friendly people. Nice to gather with friends for a cocktail. No wine selection though.
