Summertime, and the sippin’ is easy. It’s July, which means Drink Up Week is right around the corner. From July 25-31, 2022, we’re celebrating the best drinks around town + partnering with local companies to give you special deals. It’s definitely a glass half-full kind of situation.

Thirsty to know where to go? We’ll release the full list of collabs ahead of Drink Up Week, but for now, here are three participating locations we’re particularly excited about.

We’ll also be pouring into the San Jose beverage scene with cheers-worthy newsletter content (we know you already subscribe, but if you don’t — here you go). Get ready for:

  • A happy hour + discount guide
  • Specialty cocktails + mocktails
  • The history of Alum Rock Park’s mineral water
  • A Q+A with a local beverage-maker
