Information about this business (3)

Henry's HiLife have been proudly serving San Jose, California the finest steaks, chicken and pork chops since 1960. We are conveniently located one block from the HP Pavilion at San Jose, at 301 West St. John Street. We have a fully stocked bar with no less than fifteen taps of your favorite beer as well as bottled beer and top shelf alcohol for cocktails or shots.

Bartending is an art in this sophisticated bar in the West Village. The staff at Little Branch, New York's hidden secret, take their calling seriously, using only the freshest ingredients and carved blocks of ice to reduce melting. Just request a favorite liquor and the bartenders will wow you with an exotic, unique drink. Little Branch was chosen by Esquire as one of the top bars in the United...

The "speakeasy atmosphere" will transport you at this Village "cocktail oasis" from all-star mixologist Sasha Petraske, a "dark, secretive" basement where the "bespoke cocktails" are "conversation pieces in and of themselves"; despite being cash-only and "crazy expensive", it's so "killer" that you should expect "a bit of a hassle to get a seat."

This faux speakeasy is identified with nothing more than a subtle plaque affixed to the door. Once you’re downstairs in the quirkily shaped basement space, you see the point. The bar is pleasantly crowded but not at all intolerable; the bartenders take things seriously back there. Here the martinis are stirred unless you ask for shaken, with a bit of vermouth unless you ask for more, and with...

The not-so-exclusive brother of Milk & Honey, Little Branch offers an stringent mix of premium concoctions made with fresh ingredients, and live jazz has been known the shake loose any of the tension in the air.

This discreet hideaway in the West Village could easily coast on nostalgia alone, with jazz trios, vintage portraiture, and a waitstaff clad in flapper attire. The drinks menu reads like a list of your grandparents' favorites—Presbyterians, sidecars, whiskey cobblers—but mixologist Sasha Petraske's obsessive attention to detail and penchant for over-the-top garnishes and pristine fresh...

Harking back to the good ol' days -- before "good" and "bad" cholesterol were invented -- is Henry's World Famous Hi-Life. Formica tables lined with paper place mats and little fishnet-covered candles give you a pretty good indication that you probably won't need that dinner jacket and tie. A bib is more appropriate for tackling the huge servings of barbecued ribs, chicken, and steaks, all...

Stopped in looking to finish our vacation with a meat fest. Quaint old building with a southern bayou inside feel. Menu is posted on the wall of the bar. Steaks, ribs, and chicken. We opted fo the Baby-back ribs and chicken. Ribs were very good,...

I have been on a road trip and remembered the show “Man v Food”. So I got inspired to have lunch here. The people are very friendly here. Haven’t had that everywhere. The place is kinda dark, cause they had the windows closed from the...

Henry's Hi-Life is not like other restaurants. You start by getting a number off the back wall, not to be seated, but to place your order. When your number is called, you give the host your order and then wait until they call you to...

Always reliable for a good well priced meal. Only place I know that has real, not processed, fresh turkey. They go through several turkeys a day. Senior meal is a great deal, full entrée of several choices, 2 sides, roll, and dessert for under $14...

Business description (8) view all

I grew up at the Hi-LIfe, learned how to cook, how to work, how to socialize, how to run a business and how to treat people with respect. Henry and my family taught me these things. I learned everything I know about BBQ and Meats from the Hi-Life and in my opinion it's the only way to do it. I am third generation family owner and have spent my entire life in San Jose. I love this place, and I...
