A Beach Party in Downtown San Jose!

Modeled after and with all the energy of a lively Baja resort cantina, Tres Gringos is a home-away-from-home for San Jose’s seasoned nighttime crowd. Located on downtown’s hard-partying nightlife strip Second Street, the bar and restaurant is a local favorite of San Jose State collegians in need of a study break. With a bar specializing in tasty tropical sensations, an extensive list of Mexican beers served ice cold in the can and on tap, unparalleled tequila offerings and a food menu featuring South-of-the-Border favorites like tacos, burritos and quesadillas, it’s no wonder Tres Gringos is such a seasoned hangout; virtually wall-to-wall with young revelers on a nightly basis, sometimes the line to get inside this popular local bar stretches deep into the adjacent parking lot.

Tres Gringos’s relaxed Baja-beach decor creates an inviting atmosphere perfect for kicking back with old friends and meeting new faces. With island-themed murals painted on the walls and surfer videos playing on the TVs, Tres Gringos brings the beach to downtown San Jose. At night the party gets even more exciting with a rotating slate of local DJs spinning the latest beats, and a dance floor in the back of the bar invites night clubbers to get down and groove. Close to popular hangouts San Jose Bar and Grill and Voodoo Lounge, Tres Gringos is a convenient choice for partiers looking to spend a night out on the town. Drink responsibly and be sure to pick a designated driver to keep the downtown scene fun and safe for everyone, but if the party gets too wild the VTA light rail and several bus stops are also nearby.

Happy Hour – VIP Cabanas – Birthday Parties

The after work crowd kicks back on Tres Gringos’s front patio for a happy hour that includes killer deals on excellent Cal-Mex food and South-of-the-Border-style drinks. Stop in from 4 pm to 7 pm any Monday through Friday to catch the dinner and drinks specials. Tuesday is College Night, featuring a host of cheap drinks and pitchers to share; Wednesdays are beer pong madness with tournament-style matches; and Thursdays feature DJ Aspect along with three-dollar Rum Runners, Cosmos and Kamikazes.

The VIP Cabana Bar overlooks the dance floor and has its own bar tender. Call ahead to reserve the Cabana Bar for birthday parties, bachelor and bachelorette parties and other special events. Join Tres Gringos Baja Cantina for your next birthday party and let them bring the beach to you. With a tasty menu and intoxicating tropical cocktails, any private event is sure to be a hit.
