El Sotano - San Rafael Abajo

This restaurant offers a variety of atmospheres, music, drinks, and food options. The prices for drinks are affordable.

This restaurant has become a second home for many talented local musicians, and now it feels like a second home for me as a traveling musician. After visiting a few times, I started to feel like part of the family. It's a cool old house with a laid-back Bohemian vibe. It's quiet and cozy during the week, with a blues jam on Mondays and a jazz jam on Tuesdays. The live music acts they bring in are usually top-notch, drawing in remarkable global artists despite their small size. The food is reasonably priced, but the beer selection is on the pricier side. Don't forget to stop in and say hello!

Very expensive (so sad) but it is a beautiful building.

Very hip place in san jose. Live music venue with koolest decoration and a real restaurant.

I love this place, they make a break from their day and go to el sotano. drink a drink and listen to an amazing music or take it a dance class. there are all kinds of activities that happen every day of the week, so don't forget to check the board for the event calendar. I really like this an old house that is converted into this really artistic and cozy lounge/cafe. So don't wait and check it out!
