What players say

Great small bar, with pool table, friendly staff. Played rock and county most of the night. Reasonably priced.

★★★★★ Karl, Feb 2026

Great vibes, and people. Amazing staff. The Caravan has definitely been a staple in San Jose for years. There's even a comedy night there. Been there a few times and gained some great memories from it. Even caught up with an old high school friend. Definitely recommend

★★★★★ Fetsami, Sep 2023

Sooo It's been a while....10-15 years ago when I lived in San Jose I would come here. They had random live bands then which is always good because I love music. The crowd was very diverse with Older Frequent patrons down to College Goers.. and always some newcomers.
