CAFES. PUBS. THEATER. LIVE MUSIC.

San Pedro Square is one of downtown San Jose's most walkable streets for food, drinks, and live entertainment. From burgers and wood-fired pizza to bolognese and sushi, you can eat well at almost any price point. Hundreds of craft beer taps, wine lists, and cocktail menus make it easy to linger after dinner. The square sits in the heart of downtown San Jose, just minutes from the SAP Center.
 
Families, date nights, and post-game crowds all find a spot here. You will see white-tablecloth dining, casual neighborhood joints, and plenty of kid-friendly menus along San Pedro Street and inside San Pedro Square Market.
 

What You Will Find Here

San Pedro Square brings together the things people come downtown for most. Restaurants and bars line the street and fill the market hall. Arts and culture shows up in live music, theater, and local events throughout the year. On game days, Sharks fans gather here before and after events at SAP Center. On weekends, the area draws visitors for the farmers market, outdoor movies, and street-level energy you cannot get from a mall.
 
Shopping is part of the mix too. Browse unique gifts, specialty foods, and market vendors without leaving the neighborhood. If you want the backstory of the district, read Our Story for a look at San Jose history tied to this square.
