My favorite is in sunnyvale, just a few minutes outside of SJ. FireHouse Grill & Brewery. The Brewmaster is really cool, let me peek around w/ him back in the brewery, I'm back that way often for business, and the food is pretty damn good too. Also, if you're interested in mead, rabbits foot meadery there is run by a coworker. they have a small tasting room, and you can try their meads and even a braggot. They're even distributing through BevMo now.
