Los Gatos Lodge Bar & Grill

At the Los Gatos Lodge for South Bay Folks open mic and had a nice dinner. Club sandwich and Zin for me mozzarella sticks and coffee for hubby. Food was better than most and the staff are great!
Thanks so much for having the open mic!

Good food but kicked me and my group out for lenient reasons. The people working there are too strict and don’t allow much leeway. The venue has a lot of potential but unfortunately the enforcement by particular female employees hinders a great time. I do not recommend hosting any event (especially PDs or formals) for the lack of experience to be held at this location. Bring an open mind and leave with a high school principal experience.

A bit pricey for the quality of the facilities. Worst sofa bed ever. Musty old furniture,

Short review for the bar at the Los Gatos Lodge & Hotel. Came on a Friday night to see a co-worker’s band, the Funky Souls, play. They have a bar and I ordered a beer on tap. Set me back $ 6. Not bad. Place is small and narrow-​ish. There are a few tables and a small dance floor in front. I mostly hung out at the bar. Two bartenders most of the night. Though they disappeared for awhile a couple times. Band was great (but I’m partial) and they played lots of popular covers. Plenty of parking and I think my friend said there was a casino night going on that night also.

The hotel is comfortable, rooms are pretty small. Grounds are nice. The free breakfast is great! 4 types of bread for toast, 4 cereals, oatmeal and fixings, boiled eggs, yogurt, various fruits, eggs, potatoes, sausage, coffee, juice, milk, etc. So plenty to leave you satisfied!
But the restaurant isn’t a restaurant. It’s tables in a bar. If you aren’t drinking, you have to ask for a menu and tell them what you want and they will go tell the kitchen and bring it to you. It’s not great food either. So pass unless that’s what you are looking for.

I love this bar! It’s like «Cheers» and everyone knows your name. You don’t have to wait to long for a drink, never to busy and the bartenders are great!

The best THANKSGIVING buffet ever! I was so impressed with the variety and quality of this buffet. Definitely coming back next year. Salmon with Hollandaise was excellent.

Friendly, efficient, and courteous service. Clam chowder is really tasty. Chefs salad large with real turkey. Lettuce crisp and fresh. Refill on ice tea. Good lunch and great bar keep!

I was at the bar friday 8÷8÷14 when the Unilocaler Jeremy R. arrived.
The bartender was training another bartender. She acknowledged the group when they walked in letting them know they will be right with them.
Yes the bartender was standing against the back of the bar, watching the bartender in training. Wanting the trainee to handle the group that just walked in. Jeremy R. didnt just ask if he could grab a drink. He said «Are you just going to stand there, or are you going to make me a drink». In a very rude tone. Jeremy R. called the bartender fat, stupid and ugly. Which she is NOT either of those! At that point the bartender asked the man to leave. Which then he got really argumentative. The bartender said she was calling security. And Jeremy R. mouthed off some more.
The bar has a sign that says «We have the right to refuse service to anyone». And the bartender had every right to ask Jeremy to leave. The group left after security showed up. Within 5 minutes, part of the group comes back into the bar. Apologizing for his behavior, that they didn’t know him, that he came with someone who was there for the funeral.

One of the best fish and chips in town. … and the new bartender is GOOD too.

Hidden Gem!
Coldest coldest beer in town, friendly people, no wait!
LOL Diana G. I too have witnessed the Wookie.

(QTip: Arrive to LOUD noises in the bushes. Low n behold, a Wookie lumbers out with a skateboard… Hobbles across the parkn’ lot. Merry Xmas!!)
My family stayed in one of their suites and one «regular» room. The suite — FREEZING! Three was a lil space heater for the back bedroom which took about 3 hours to finally get warm. The main living room/​sleeping area even though it had a wall heater it «blew» more than it heated. Space-​wise though the place was excellent. We had to fit in three adult women and a crib. Being the typical — pack more than you need kind of ladies, and ALL the added luggage one baby «brings along» it was quite spatial. Very much appreciated the fact that the sink and large mirror were separate from the shower and toilet — made getting ready in the morning a better experience than having to wait in the bathroom line at home just to wash my face, brush my teeth.
The «regular» room much better in terms of heat, comfort. The wall heater produced much more heat. To the point where my parents had to turn it down before bed. I ended up watching the Late Late Show that night just to be near the heater ;)
Breakfast — excellent! With everything from bagels to yogurt to oatmeal to fruit to cocoa and coffee and tea, a true breakfast! Gotta have my hotel coffee with an added pack of cocoa mix — really gets my body moving in the morning — sugar and caffeine high all in one gulp — aaahhh!

We returned to the Los Gatos Lodge for several weeks now and have not experienced the things we did on the first visit. We are enjoying the Monday Night Football with hot dogs and other items from the menu. The Bar Mgr has welcomed us with open arms. we are not demanding and there is usually about 31 of us in the group…

I have early childhood memories of this place. I love it. It gives me warm feelings. Lol. Seriously. Great place.

I was charged over $ 250 for canceling brunch. Yes you heard me right over $ 250 for brunch. No notice, I even asked while canceling if there was a charge, the answer was no… and yet a $ 250 charge that the manager told me is my just deserts for canceling and causing him to loose money. Nevermind that I canceled because some in our party were sick with flu like symptoms, I seriously doubt it is swine flu, but still I wasn’t going to chance it and expose others… none-​the-​less… did I mention that I asked about a charge and after they told me no they still charged me over $ 250, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

If you are into the geriatric set, after work construction guys or local yokels, this is the bar for you. I would honestly consider renting this place out for a party — it has an interesting vibe — so much so I want to say they tried to redo it a few yers ago and give it a shipwreck name, that failed, as did the whole trendy pirate thing… but dont tell my husband cause I still have a thing for that quasi homo Jack Sparrow
At least they have Stoli Elit… which balances out the denture to boob job ratio with my vodka goggles on
