Ninth Street Pub

9th St. Pub is okay.  I come here every few weeks for a drink during the week because I can't stand the crowd on the weekend and how loud and crowded it gets in there.  You get a good drink in here if you tip your bartender appropriately.  I really like the bartenders in this bar.  They are very friendly and are willing to help you find some music that you would enjoy listening to.  Some of the people who hang out in here can be kind of seedy but you can expect that in any bar.  So far so good for this place.  I hear their food during the day is awesome though but I've never had any of it myself but give it a try if you want somewhere to eat.

Didn't know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised!  We ordered a burger and their fried chicken special along with a few drinks.  The burger was excellent (Tex Mex) I believe.  The fried chicken was even better!  Tasted like the Colonel's or very close!  Atmosphere was good, nothing fancy  - but it's a pub.  Waitress was friendly.  Great value as the chicken was $2.95 with fries.  Our total bill with tip was under $30.00 for two of us and that was with multiple beer's and a mixed drink.  Great place to go if you want a good meal for a reasonable price!  Compliments to the cook!

This place has a real old country town bar atmosphere - oil cloth covered tables, locals at the bar and a cavern-like dining area.  We are driving from California to Toronto so we are just looking for places with edible food, not gourmet establishments.  So I was very happy when I saw that they had Woodchuck cider on tap as well as a good micro-brew for my husband.  The food was great.  I had the fried Walleye with sweet potato fries and coleslaw.  The fish was great and the fries were thin and crisp.  My husband had the prime rib sandwich.  The bill came to $22 with the drinks.  Try getting a pub meal like that for that price in San Jose!
