Not even funny

Last weekend a group of friends went to downtown San Jose for a benefit comedy show, then dinner at a nearby establishment. I highly recommend Comedysportz. but can't say the same for our dinner stop.

For an establishment that seems to be really popular with SJSU students, San Jose Bar & Grill was woefully empty on a Saturday night. Maybe it was due to the holiday weekend, or SJSU graduation, or maybe it was because they were OUT OF THE GOOD BEER. Seriously- they were out of Fat Tire, Anchor Steam, and their hefeweizen on a Saturday night! How does that even happen? Sadly, when we got our dinner bill, I learned that I had just paid $5.50 for a pint of beer that I didn't even like. $5.50 in downtown San Jose?!? I think the only time I've paid that much for a pint recently was at either a ballpark, concert, or airport, where I was a "captive audience". *sigh*

Luckily I got to taste a good beer later in the week, when I had lunch at Los Gatos Brewing Co. I really enjoyed their pale ale!
