Live Music Sports Bar and British Pub in Downtown San Jose

Ahhh… the ineffable greatness of British pubs. Between fish & chips and pints of ale, there’s something about a good pub that puts a smile on people’s faces – and it’s not just the pints that do it. Obviously in on this secret of greatness, The Brit floats a bit of the Isles across the sea and transplants it in San Jose, offering a killer hangout and gathering spot in the British pub tradition.

Proudly boasting an impressive selection of imported taps and domestics, the Brit also keeps a well stocked bar of both import and domestic beers in addition to high-end spirits that will easily sate the cravings of discerning drinkers on any budget. Whiskey-sipping gentlemen prefer the pub’s comforting barstools, but on weekend nights, the pub becomes a hip singles scene and resident DJs pull patrons to the dance floor, spinning everything from favorite 90s throwbacks to hip-hop bump ‘n grind jams. Live bands also draw crowds several nights a week, while the bar’s outdoor patio seating appeals to patrons seeking a place to relax on warm summer evenings.

The Brit also serves as the stomping grounds for avid football (the kicking kind, not the American kind) fans, opening up early for Euro and World Cup action; but don’t worry all you soccer-haters, favorite sports from this side of the pond also get their airtime on one of more than a dozen televisions. Britannia Arms keeps the TVs tuned to sports all day long, offering a constant supply of everything from baseball and basketball to good ol’ American football and hockey. Just blocks from the HP Pavilion, The Brit is also a favorite pre- and post-game watering hole for Sharks fans on game days.

Serving half-price appetizers and dollar-off drinks during happy hour, The Brit’s location in downtown San Jose makes it appealing to the after-work crowd looking to grab a pint. Easily accessible from Highways 87 and 280, The Brit is a favorite of seasoned downtown drinkers, sports fans and singles alike, with a nearly unbeatable selection of drafts and liquors that help keep the bar a mainstay in the downtown San Jose nightlife scene.
