yeah, this place is kinda trashy and the drinks are over priced for what it is but its all worth it to me if Tiara Dupree is performing. but thats the only time i come here.

Not my favorite place, but you know, it's about the company. Before I launch a bit into that, I should mention that I was told apparently this used to be THE PLACE long before Hunters or Splash in...

It kind of reminds me of Esta Noche in the mission. This place hasn't changed much since I was in college, but it's still pretty cool for San Jose, all things considered. It's nothing super special -...

This place is what I imagine most gar bars looked like in the 1970's. Dirty, rundown, and sad....in fact, my friends and I think that "TD" doesn't stand for "Tinker's Damn"....it actually stands for...

As an "out" tranny for the past several decades, thought I'd pass along my thoughts on what is often a South Bay t-gals first place in semi-public that she ever ventures out to...From a t-perspective,...

Ever since I can remember, Tinkers Damn has been the gay bar in San Jose. (technically santa clara because of it's location on the street) While I'm straight, I've aaaalways wanted to go in to...

Not good. Simply put.The bartenders are pretty friendly and they have a couple of good DJ's that I have seen but there never seems to be any people there-usually more in the parking lot trying to...

TD's can be fun on Friday and Saturday nights, but I enjoy going to the beer busts on Sunday. It's a nice, relaxing atmosphere where you'll get to see a hottie every now and then. It's pretty old...

Your friendly neighborhood suburban gay bar. There's one in every town, and as far as San Jose goes, this is it. The staff is nice and has been there forever, the furniture has been there for ever,...

UPDATED: I originally thought Tinker's Damn was both a sex toy store and a head shop, but instead it is a gay bar in between these other establishments.

I can't believe that I'm saying this. After living in San Jose for 4 years, I've actually learned to like TD's. Sure, it's in a strip mall and the parking lot is full of annoying cruisers - but TD's is a fun...

Well...where do I start? The BBQ is to die for, and they fired me up a mean tube steak. I was relieved to see there were no women in this place, and all the guys were super-duper friendly. Mongo
