Oktoberfest 2022 at Ludwig's - Sep, 26, 17, 23, 24
Ludwig's--one of my favorite Downtown restaurants--is hosting multiple Oktoberfest celebrations this year. The first couple events are this weekend on September 16th and 17th with an encore next weekend on September 23rd and 24th.
There is food, beer (hopefully in a boot), music, dancing, a best-dressed contest, and a Stein-Holding competition. To get in, you have to purchase a table which allows entry for 6-8 adults. You can buy tickets over here.

Dine Downtown 2021!
One of the best opportunities to try out new restaurants at a discount launches today. 27 restaurants will be participating in the latest Dine Downtown event with special three and four course fixed-price menus. This time around instead of a restaurant week, the event will take place over the course of over two weeks.
Several new restaurants such as The Good Spot, Petiscos, Scott's Chowder House, and The Shop are on the list. In fact, the only restauranteurs in San Jose to ever get a Michelin Star have three different eateries on the list: Adega, Pastelaria, and Petiscos. Old favorites like Orchestria Palm Court, Habana Cuba, and Mezcal are on the list too.
To see the full press release and the list of restaurants, just scroll on down.
SSAN JOSE – Dine Downtown San Jose Restaurant “Week” returns for 18 days, starting July 1.
Normally the “week” lasts 10 days, but Dine Downtown was delayed and extended successfully to six weeks last October and November amid the COVID pandemic, so it will be extended again this year to assist with economic recovery after 15 months of tough times.
Twenty-seven downtown eateries have confirmed participation, offering food-and-drink pairings, 3- and 4-course price-fixed menus, or chef specials.
For first-timers as well as veteran downtown diners, the restaurant promotion provides a good way to explore new places and return to old favorites. Several new Dine Downtown restaurants that opened during the pandemic are participating: The Good Spot, Petiscos, Scott’s Chowder House and The Shop by Chef Baca.
The newcomers have waited a long time for their chance to show off their mettle during Dine Downtown. For example, Petiscos, new to the SoFA District, has a three-course menu that includes appetizers from flamed chouriço to asparagus rice; 15 choices for the main course from these categories: shells & claws, tentacles & scales, and feathers & bones; and five choices for “sweet endings.”
On the customer side, every price point can participate. Pastelaria by Adega offers a grilled cheese sandwich, drink and pastry for $10. Grace Deli and café has a breakfast combo of egg, bacon, avocado and hash browns with salsa and fruits, plus bottomless coffee for $11.
The Grill on the Alley decided to mix it up, offering a featured cocktail – a Ruby Red Lemon Drop – to go with their three-course meal of appetizer, filet mignon pot pie or Norwegian halibut as entrée, plus dessert.
Nomikai social food + drinkery offers chef’s specials and cocktail specials. Choose from mango jalepeno wings, pork belly musubi on the food side or P.O.G Pig or a green tea highball.
71 Saint Peter and Mezcal have participated in all 13 years of Dine Downtown.
All the choices are posted at dinedowntown.com.
“It will be smiles all-around this summer,” said Julie Carlson, SJDA marketing director. “Our chefs, hosts and servers are ready to welcome their customers ready for a beautiful evening out in downtown.”
