Did you know that you can catch a flight without leaving San Jose? From margaritas and sake, to whiskey and champagne — the flight scene here is pretty fly. We’ve rounded up eight spots where you can grab a drink… or three.

🍹 Spirits

Tostadas, 304 E. Santa Clara St. + 1699 W. San Carlos St. | The frozen margarita flight is the perfect summer cooler with seasonal flavors — which you can even customize.

District, 65 N. San Pedro St. | Try one of their eight themed whiskey flights, like “The Bay’s Finest” which showcases regional samples of bourbon, rye, and single malt whiskey.

Leichi, 246 Saratoga Ave., Santa Clara | Each flight allows you to taste the difference of each sake’s polishing ratio, rice, yeast, and brewing process — we recommend the popular, “Hakkaisan Flight.”
