CA · Late night
The 10 best late night restaurants in San Jose.
Open past midnight. Still worth going to. Harry ranks them the same way as everything else, ranked by Harry Score, with no allowance for the hour.
What qualifies as late night
The filter, not the vibe.| Late hours | Listed hours that run to midnight or later on at least three nights a week. A place with no listed hours doesn't count: Harry won't guess. |
|---|---|
| Not the post-club | A place that stays open late because it's good all day is different from one that exists for the 2am market. Both face the same bar: a Harry Score of 70 or more, and nothing Harry rates a tourist tax or a false economy. |
| A kitchen, not a bar | Bars are left out, and so are tasting-menu rooms: their hours run late, but the last seating is hours before closing. |
