2008 BEST OF SILICON VALLEY Reader Survey Winner - Second Place

Best Pre-Sharks Game Spot

The Poor House is a short walk to the Shark Tank, it’s housed in a cool old farmhouse, and it’s got a seriously tasty New Orleans menu. That means gumbo, crawfish pasta, red beans and rice, jambalaya and muffaletta and oyster po boy’s. What’s all of this good stuff doing in San Jose? There ain’t no hockey in New Orleans.

Best Jazz/Blues Club

Some of the Bay Area’s finest musicians have made a regular home for themselves at the Poor House. Ron Thompson, Lara Price and A.C. Myles are regulars, and Mark Hummel stops by now and then. The place couldn’t very well bill itself as Taste of New Orleans without bringing in the best blues and jazz.
