    Have you ever been in a space where you are looking for something, but you can't quite put your finger on it? I came here on a random Thursday evening when San Jose Block Party was taking place. A friend told me he was going to have a pop up show, and remembering this was a place that always seemed to have great beers on tap, I threw on my Moms That Beer shirt, mustered up some energy for positivity, and arrived to Good Karma around 7:15 pm. I was immediately indecisive when I saw the beers on tap. Too many good choices, and the the first beer you pick to drink will generally set the feel of my drinking pace. Who was I tonight: Was I feeling like something outside of my comfort zone, or an agreeable hazy? Seeing the sour selection and hearing the beer tender talk to the customers in front of me, I decided to start with a Blueberry sour. And it did not disappoint. The Lysn Band started warming up, and it was to my dismay that outside seating was pretty full. But, what I did not expect was the warmth of the welcoming I received from 3 friends eating dinner and drinking beer who allowed me to join in their table, but also conversation. And just like that, I had 3 new friends, and soon a 4th, and I quickly realized, Good Karma is not just a restaurant. Good Karma is a living community of energy. Bob, the owner, cultivates a friendly staff, from the chef to the beer tender, and it attracts the type of people you want to get to know over a new beer. So, I came out that night without knowing what I wanted in that moment. What I found: great beers, yummy food, and community. But, one thing that always makes me happy: live music. So if your routine could benefit from more music, every Sunday at 7 pm, catch a live jazz session with the Sunday Messengers Quartet until 9 pm. A weekly dose of Jazz always does a body good.

    Loved the spicy, flavorful Jamaican jerk, buttery quinoa, and sweet drumstick! Butterfly lemonade cider pairs well with the spices. :) Every time I make quinoa, it's bitter, but this was the quinoa I've ever had - thank you Diego for making it!
