V Bar

About

Much more than just a convenient place to drink in Santana Row, V-Bar defines the district's swank. On any given night, one can spot Silicon Valley socialites looking to mingle over martinis while decompressing after a long day doing at the office. Those lucky enough to snag a seat by the bar can watch the game on one of the flat-screen TVs. -- Metro Bars & Clubs, June 16, 2010

2009 BEST OF SILICON VALLEY Reader Survey Winner - First Place

Best Martinis

Everything about the Vbar in Santa Row's Hotel Valencia is stylish, and that includes the martinis whether it's the classic with dry gin and a whiff of vermouth, the now-classic lemon drop or one of Vbar's signature drinks (the Skyy, Midori and mango juice concoction is a favorite). As an added enticement for the ladies, Vbar throws Martinis and Manicures parties once a month $20 buys one of each.

Best Hotel Bar

If hotel bars make you scream, Vbar probably will too, but in a different fashion. An ultrachic hipster hangout with expensive drinks and expensively inclined singles, Vbar is so sexy, it just hurts. In a good way. Silver beads hang in the doorway. Thumping electronic music emanates from the speakers. Hues of jet black dominate and you can even relax on opulent couches to scope out the modish singles who populate the place.

A relaxing, after-work salon and bar setup featuring drink specials and local manicurists.
