Scores Sports Bar and Grill

Don’t be deceived by the name. This is not a sports bar or a grill, this is a nightclub. They weren’t even trying, none of the TVs were on the Sharks game or the fight. Major failure.

Went here once with some friends for some drinks and we ended up bumping into more folks we’ve all known since high school over here. I think the backside of this place was Club Raw or Back Bar or something, but I’ve never been there, just heard about the place. DJ was alright. Not really that big of a crowd to get all hyphy. I remember the drinks were kind of overpriced for a regular bar, but I guess since it’s a «sports» bar they can charge a premium over regular bar charges. Probably charge a little premium too, to pay the half naked girls who used to dance on the bar too.
I think this place is now called Club Miami, since they moved from their old location a block away from where Taste used to be at.

This place was originally Zoe’s, which was a really ghetto night club. It shut down and became Scores, which was pretty much Zoe’s with some jerseys on the wall.
Basura!

Has this place closed too? I havent seen it open for a while.

I’ve had good times at the nightclub because the music is good, but the venue itself is dirty & ghetto.

I am a super duper partier and this place is cool. I go to Big Dave Presents Events. I have areally good time when I go. It is drama free– the drinks are a little expensive for me (I’m so used to Toons’ cheap drinks) but the people are usually ready to partttttttaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy. the average age is about 25 years ols so don’t go expecting a more mature crowd– you’re not gonna get it. Although it is a sports bar by day– it is dfefinatly not at night. They’re promoted by 94.9 so the you can imagine the type of music they play.
My only complaint– which I’m sure the men aren’t complaining about is that they have bikini dancers on the bar.. . um excuse me, your butt is in my face and I’m trying to get drunk…
All in all– great place to meet young guys… get drunk… dance and people watch.
EDIT: Scores no longer has Big Dave Presents parties and I am very upset. The last coupls of times I went… not fun. There was hardly anyone there! I went on this last Sunday 01÷20÷08− the day before MLK’s B-​day because there was supposed to be a Capricorn Bash– um what in the hell is the definition of bash because it was more like a bust! Hardly anyone there and it was free? What? I know the Agenda was having there pre-​holiday party but come on everyone knows that Agenda gets to capacity at like 11:00 pm on the Sunday before any holiday and the overflow is supposed to go to Scores… That did not happen. And to make it worst they closed at 12:00???
What kind of bash is that?
They officially suck!

WHY SAN JOSE SUCKS:
1. Charging you $ 10 to watch a fight at a trashy sports bar. Stupid.
2. 75% of the place is saved for «VIP». (AGAIN, SAN JOSE DOES NOT HAVE FAMOUS PEOPLE! GET THE STICK OUT OF THE ASSES!!) Cause apparently «promoters» think San Jose is in a league of NYC, Vegas, and L.A. Actually having the odacity to charge $ 25 to sit at certain tables. Tables that will tip over if you hit it the wrong way. On stools that are dirty. Fancy stuff!
3. Obviously these San Jose «promoters» think that Paris Hilton is gonna walk in, instead some not cute chicks walk in with outfits from Eastridge ready to pose for their myspace profiles. It’s so high school, it’s not even close to funny.
4. These boys, and I mean boys who wear shirts that ARE TOO SMALL for them so they can show their 24 hour fitness bodies. Wearing unmatching outfits, hats to the side, asian sandles… I am so turned off by the boys shopping in the children’s section. It’s not cute. I HOPE YOU’RE READING THIS. PLEASE, FASHIONABLE PEOPLE BEG OF YOU… GET A NEW WARDROBE!
5. Again, SJ has this idea that this is Hollywood. It’s comparable to Fresno, minus the farms & Bush lovers. It’s a sports bar. There was ONE waitress walking around, who never stopped to help us, and ONE bartender. Beers were $ 7!
6. I love how the typical dirty pervert owner is staring at me up and down, and then asks «Are you 21?». Sorry, you weren’t raised right.
I MUST REPEAT. GET THE STUPID «VIP» MENATALITY OUT OF YOUR HEADS. THERE IS NONE. THERE IS JUST «I KNOW THE PROMOTER», AND I’M TOO COOL WITH MY HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION. Ugh.

I had a choice once of going here or Angels– maybe I should have chosen Scores. The place is grimy– not like the Zoe’s I remember. BOoooooooooooooo. I miss Zoe’s. There is a small dance floor elevated near the DJ– THE ONLY REASON THIS PLACE GETS THREE STARS IS THAT THE DJ WAS OFF THE CHAIN! He was tearing it up with Old Skool Hip Hop where at one point everyone was singing Bell Biv Devoe’s «Poison.» I don’t know if he plays every Sunday (he was a 94.9 DJ) but damn. The crowd is mixed of your stereotypical dirtbags, thirty somethings, that one guy who stares at the mirror while he dances and that random white chick who thinks she can «dance hip hop» (and looks like she is going to try out for a Brittney Spears video). The drinks have a fair amount of alcohol in them for what you pay– nine bucks mai tai– I was surprised it did not taste like water for once. The bathrooms were slightly messy– but there was plenty of TP and paper towels… and the doors locked. I know my guy friends did not have the same common courtesy on their side of the bathrooms. Would I go again? I think the key to this place is to bring your own crowd– it is pretty much how we got through the night
