Britannia Arms Almaden - British restaurant in San Jose - 5027 Almaden Expy, USA

Happy Hour is theeeee best!!!!! Very reasonable prices on food as well as beer with a great selection. I found My bar in the San Jose area!! The bartenders are so nice. The Owner is very interpersonal with the customers, this is an amazing place to jus eat, drink a pint or two and watch sports. The regulars are so nice to. I was welcomed with open arms here. The food is AMAZING as well! SHOUT OUT TO THE KITCHEN STAFF!! SHOUTS OUT TO GABE BEHIND THE BAR AS WELL!!! I recommend this place to anyone near and far!!

Great place to watch NFL on sundays. Multiple screens so you can see the games no matter you sit. Staff and waitresses were friendly and matter sure we were OK. With Dj Brotha Reese playing music made it a party atmosphere.

I’ve been here twice. Food is pretty much “bar food”, so don’t have high expectations. I knew it’s not going the best meal ever….!!! Of course combine that with British culinary and you know you’re not eating anything special. The bangers are usually the ordinary sausage and chips are potato fries. Last time I had the stake and kidney which I regret ordering it. This time I thought I’ll try something else. I didn’t have the Shepherds pie but I’ve heard from others it’s not that great. We ordered four different meals. The stake sandwich looked ok. The Cornish pastie was super dry and we had to ask for extra Garvey and that didn’t help either. Same thing with the chicken pot pie it was too dry. The side veggies were steamed. I usually pick on my family’s dishes when there’s veggies but these looked nothing appetizing so I didn’t even bother tasting them. I ordered the Patti melt which I think it was the most better looking of all four meals and yet not the best Patti melt out there. The Patti was much smaller than the rye bred and the bread was somewhat to the burned side and greasy. I ordered a side salad but the lettuce was old and turning yellowish red around the edges. I ate my food because I was hungry but I don’t think I would order food at this place again. If it wasn’t for my family, I would r even go there again. Service was very slow but the waitress was new and she apologized for being new and not familiar with everything.

Great 80 & 90s band played, yummy drinks & garlic fries. Small dance floor, if you wanna move to the music. Safe location, too

Great dive to meet up with friends. They have a good drink selection, beer garden and entertainment at times.

This is a bar with a British pub atmosphere There is generally live music on Friday and Saturday with dancing. Food vibe is bar food, snacks. Also good to watch sporting events.

Nice local dive bar that isn't too crowded. I went there several times with friends to watch basketball games which were shown on multiple TVs. Good beer selection. The food prices were outrageous however and some things were downright absurd. My friend ordered an appetizer of fried cheese sticks and they brought a plate of JUST 6 TINY CHEESE STICKS which cost a ridiculous $11. Everyone at the table just stared at the plate in silence as we couldn't believe our eyes. I thought it was so absurd that I spoke with the waitress, who was very nice and understanding but she was not the one who set the prices. You can come in to enjoy a beer but do yourself a favor and dont come in here with an empty stomach unless you want to spend a lot of money on mediocre food.

Waited and waited and waited for someone just to seat me and take my order. Nobody ever did, nobody's even at the wheel except a slow-moving bartender. Let after 10 minutes. Terrible service. UPDATE: came a few months later. Got seated and served much better but the fish and chips was very disappointing. Ugh!
