Editorial Review for Britannia Arms of Almaden – by Jim Harrington
The Scene
Britannia Arms is one of the top pickup spots in this area of San Jose. People drink Boddingtons and Coronas and chat up the opposite sex. There's a dance floor for grooving with a new acquaintance, but the best place on a warm summer night is the large outdoor area. Televisions let you catch the latest game while munching on pub grub. There's live music Thursday through Saturday (don't miss Frank Joseph if he's playing), but some of the best moments come from crowd members doing karaoke on Wednesdays and Sundays.
The Draw
As one would expect from the British fare, you won't go wrong with the fish-and-chips, meat pies or bangers and mash. And the excellent draft selection features an array of British, European and American brews.

I lived in Almaden Valley for a long time and have watched the Brit decay. The service gets worse and worse each year. I finally got fed up with their changing clothing rules and rude waitresses. I now go to Branham Lounge, much friendlier! Cheers!
