About Goodtime Bar

Natural Wine Bar

Located at 30 Fountain Alley #160, San Jose, CA 95113, Goodtime Bar operates as a restaurant serving San Jose in California. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as wine bar, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

For a place to eat or drink, the questions that matter most are simple: is it open now, how long is the wait at peak hours, and does the menu suit the group you are bringing. American restaurants typically run lunch and dinner services with a quieter stretch in between, coffee shops open early, and many kitchens close earlier on Sunday. Cards and tap-to-pay are accepted almost everywhere, a tip of 15-20% is customary for table service, and sales tax is added at the register.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. On most of those days it is open 4–11 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Goodtime Bar at (408) 256-1266; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. Its website is goodtimebarsj.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.7 out of 5 from 177 reviews, which is a strong result for a restaurant in San Jose and suggests consistent service.

San Jose is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. Getting around San Jose is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across California's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

One of my favorite restaurants in the Bay!! The ambiance here is impeccable and the food is sooo good! Some of my favorites include the tom yum bucatini, any of the tostadas, summer peaches, and fingerling potatoes. Can’t go wrong with anything here.

Huge fan of the seating concept and the food. A bit of a wait for a table (unless you want to sit in the communal area) and they don’t take reservations, so show up early for a spot. The food was so inventive and unique, and the servers all had great wine recommendations and energy.

Five stars! Five stars! Five stars! Came previously and couldn’t find seating. Came back next week and Oh. My. God. Tuna tostada- delicious (if hard to split for two lol). Arancini- outrageously good. Bucatini- so so good. Crème brûlée salty and sweet.

Nestled in the heart of San Jose, I can truly say I have found my favorite restaurant. For any newcomers to the city or locals looking for a new go-to bar, Goodtime Bar is the spot. It goes without notice the effort this restaurant makes to create a sense of community: DJ nights, guest chefs, wine club, run club – all specially designed to bring people together. I never write reviews, but this jewel deserves all the accolades. Beyond the electric atmosphere, the vast natural wine selections paired with novel cuisine make every visit an experience that elevates my palate. The carefully crafted dishes show the detail chef Alex gives to every order. Diverse ingredients embrace a fusion of cultures, with familiar dishes like Caesar salad (Endive Caesar @ Goodtime), pasta (Bucatini @ Goodtime), and shrimp tacos (Tacos Dorados @ Goodtime) delivering a magical explosion of flavors. I tend to find myself methodically portioning out my meal - not wanting to reach that one last bite from my plate. With a rotating menu, every visit is an exploration of new tastes and has cemented me as a regular. P.S. The Bucatini is my favorite! =]

Wonderful little natural wine bar with some incredible food. We’ve gotten rosé and orange wine which have been good but it was the tostada bringing us back. We got the Filet o’ Fish this time and was absolutely blown away by it. Very friendly staff here - will keep coming back!
