What players say

Wife and friends had a hell of a time in Cash only after the Morgan Wallen concert in San Jose. Liked the atmosphere, staff, drinks, and pool table. Wearing a Trump-Vance as “stepbrothers” tee shirt was no problem.

★★★★★ David, Aug 2025

Great bar with a laid back attitude. I recommend the frozen Irish coffee or apple whiskey. They accept cash only. Be sure to check out the cool bathrooms.

★★★★★ Sam, Apr 2023

Consistency is key, uniqueness makes you stand out, and cash only means cash only….this place hits the mark on consistency, uniqueness, and their name. Cool honkeytonk style bar in Downtown SJ with friendly neighborhood vibes….and the whiskey apple is just that over ice, and hella bomb. Highly recommended.
