WOOD FIRED.CRAFT BEERS.GOOD TIMES.Located smack dab in the heart of the Silver Creek Valley in San Jose, CA. The Creek has an urban feel — thanks to the rustic-industrial design with reclaimed wood and wrought-iron light fixtures that play into the muted charcoal-and-turquoise color scheme. Between a private dining room and a large communal table in the bar area, there’s plenty of seating for large parties, plus a heated patio that provides overflow for busy nights. We host a kitchen with a gleaming, copper-sided, wood-burning pizza oven that’s front and center as diners enter.In addition to the welcoming decor we've got 10 bar taps that rotate seasonal and local breweries. Occasionally we offer up special menu items along with tap takeovers with the likes of Barebottle Brewery, Drake's, Coronado Brewing Company, and more.
