A Downtown Staple for Happy Hour and Live Music

Downtown San Jose’s Mission Ale House is a welcome oasis amid a sea of ultra lounges and dance clubs bringing a neighborhood bar atmosphere to the heart of San Jose. Two full bars and a kitchen that can whip up delicious pub grub keep San Jose State students, downtown businesspeople and anyone in need of a relaxing vibe coming back for more. Patrons won’t be disappointed by Mission Ale House’s excellent happy hour featuring discounted drinks and appetizers with some of the best bartenders in town.

For those fed up with the same tired beats stuck on repeat all night at typical dance clubs, Mission Ale House has local bands entertain with live music and when the band retires a DJ takes over with the hottest music out there. Thursday and Friday nights are the best nights to enjoy a cold pint or cocktail on the huge outdoor patio while soaking in rockin’ tunes in an unbeatable atmosphere. On tap, 10 beers will keep beer lovers occupied for hours while the beautiful bartenders at the 40-foot mahogany main bar can mix anything that cocktail connoisseurs can dream up.

Attention Sports Fans and Beer Lovers

NFL fans don’t worry; this popular Downtown San Jose bar doesn’t just cater to music groupies. Diehard football junkies are hard pressed to find a better place to catch the game with the Ale House’s eight TVs and a huge projection screen broadcasting DirecTV’s NFL Sunday Ticket. Two pool tables provide additional entertainment for anyone willing to exhibit their billiards skills—or lack thereof—while sipping on one of Mission Ale House’s fine spirits.

In addition to always having a wide selection of draught beers and specialty cocktails, Mission Ale House offers an appetizing dining menu. To start, try the Mission Fries—a heaping basket topped with Parmesan and parsley, melted cheese and bacon or even fresh garlic. Charbroiled Angus sirloin burgers, crisp salads and grilled panini sandwiches are sure to satisfy even the most famished guests. With everything that Downtown San Jose’s Mission Ale House has to offer, it’s no wonder that it has been Downtown’s premier neighborhood bar for over a decade.
