HP Pavilion at San Jose Reviews

Home of the San Jose Sharks and often used for other events. Most of the food and beers are fairly expensive but the space is clean and staff are kind.

Food and drinks are way over priced security is a joke

I like going here theres not a bad seat in the place. The sad part is they really put the boots too you

I was homeless in San Jose near this place I do believe but I don't remember Google asking you then what I thought

Easy to access, great parking, clean and good attendants. Perfect for concerts and sport events

If you like hockey sharks is where it's at SAP Center is legit for a first time experience!!!

Great place for fun!! Easy parking, good food and service,fantastic game go SHARKS!!

A great arena with good views from every seat. Always enjoy seeing games live.

So much fun! The crowd, the energy, the music! I really had a good time at my first Sharks game!

Great staff so helpful, drinks are so expensive parking lot safe

The center has great sound quality for music performances, along with great video quality for projecting the performers on the stage screens. The space between rows of seats is very small so not very optimal for standing during concerts or passing people by to get to a seat, but the seats themselves are comfortable. It's very easy to navigate each of the sectors and finding the assigned seats with the large section labels.

Amazing environment where 14K CAMPAIGNERS for financial literacy came together to make a difference in people's lives.

Great venue for hockey with the best parking of any venue I have been to......make sure you pay for the premium parking when you buy the event ticket, it's only $20 to $30. Good views for hockey but it is an older arena, the rows are very close together and if you lean forward at all....the fans behind you will let you know in 2.0 milliseconds that they cannot see. This is fine for adults but a little challenging with those under 12 that are excited and want to see the game.

Really impressed with this venue. Easy to navigate, and easy to get in and out during big events. Parking is somewhat limited, but good public transit options.

Nice building for venues. Friendly staff. Nice area of downtown San Jose.

Great experience at the shark tank, great seating, and service, parking wasn't bad either.

Sharks games are great, concerts are a little difficult.

I was here to watch the Sharks Playoff game! Great Arena to watch sporting events and concerts! Fun and exciting atmosphere to relax enjoy. Venue is always kept very clean and is family friendly!

I've been here for a sharks game and a Disney on ice thing. Both times have been good experiences. Clean facility and good variety of food that is reasonably priced. Ike's manage a tois sandwich was good. The atmosphere both times were good and family friendly. Security was pretty easy.

Very clean. Most seats are a good view of the stage so it doesn't really matter where you sit.

There was a strange double stage that would crank up and down.

I love SAP Center! The layout is consumer friendly for sporting events. Aside from pricey beverages, the faculty is polite and helpful, the seats are good all around and the location is ideal if you're looking to be close to pubs and restaurants before or after a game. It'd be five stars if the parking was cheaper.

Came to see the Wild beat the Sharks and was not disappointed. Highly recommend!

Went to see Cirque du Soleil! It was very organized. There were good options to eat and drink inside the building. The space for show was a good size.

Lots of parking options but also near public transportation. Set up inside made it easy to find our seats. Fun concert experience.

To bad the arena was closed and they don't offer any tours. But the shark fan shop was open.

Nice arena, easy to navigate. Don't bring a bag or purse, they will force you to check it. Limited food selection, like low quality barfood.

Nice venue. All the folks working to keep things going and tidy do a great job. Tool was AWESOME!

We saw the Sharks game, good family atmosphere, healthy and fun.

Fun show but not big enough for the amount of people there

Nice place to watch hockey. The water from the drinking fountains tastes weird.

I love SAP center...just a short walk away from San Pedro square....The most beautiful women in California mingle there.

Friendly security and service reps. Clean venue with good seats for all.

Came for the Sharks game on my ongoing tour of all 31 NHL arenas. Man, the railings are white. Not sure why that bothers me, but it makes them really stand out. Pretty neat arena overall, the large gift shop is kind of hard to find though. Otherwise it was a pretty typical NHL experience.

Giving this 5 stars because Queen + Adam Lambert was AMAZING!!

Went here for Disney on Ice, parking was convenient and the seats were good

Parking is confusing and not easy. Getting into center is also confusing where we were moved from one line to another but once you're in, it is a nice place to watch a game.

Safe, good food, clean, good sound, enough rest rooms

We had so much fun came for Slayer from Colorado we had a blast

Has a good variety of food, but expensive. Good place to watch a hockey game.

Sharks, mma, concerts....nothing else close like it nearby

Chairs are really close together not enough leg space

Amazing place I was there for the slayer show and lost my wallet and they went out of their way to ship it to me

Alwayd awesjm to see sharks even tho they lost but Thornton had a hat trick wowzy wat a player theeee dude of dudes ! N yes went to OT n v my sis team theBruins ....alas
Gotts say like the tank good food apparently not awesum per Bostonians but atmosphere sensational evry1 needs to go see a shatrk game only complaint needed room for my bad knees n hips i got replacements but made it work

It's a pity that in that place, people go to smoke marijuana in the middle of the concert, I do not know what happens with security, I think it should not be.

Went to SAP center to see comedian Jeff Dunham, he was funny as usual...

Concessions there are ridiculously overpriced. Seats are not very comfortable and their air filtration system could use some attention. Shortly after being seated I became congested, as did others around us.

Parking for the short time we were there was a whopping $25 dollars, then paid $20 for a drink... Blatant greed abounded everywhere. The club level was closed for this show, very dispiriting considering we paid extra for that privilege!

Ok venue to see the sharks, not so great for other types of entertainment.
I try to avoid seeing shows there when possible.

Entertainment venues are lacking here in northern California period.

I would have taken a pic to post here but the aisle bouncers would have escorted us out.

Very steep seating. Means even high up seats get a decent view, but people leaning forward can really obstruct your view. Best place to watch a hockey game in the whole country, for sure.

Always love SAP Center. Even better if you have time for dinner, the Grill was a great experience. Fast and easy, a little pricey but worth the $$$.

Never a long wait to get into the SAP Center. The wait for the women's bathroom is very short. Only complaint, is the price of beer.

The adult beverage types on offer (and pricing) are a little different in each section you find them in. Actively seek what you want from different sections.

Great venue. The service was really quick and smooth. Plenty of drink and snack bar. Location was super convenient with parkin and everything. Easy access to the freeway.

Love the sharks and the shark tank with the exception of on the lower rows you can't lean forward without being HARASSED by other fans!

Teal & tonics all day.

Saw Michelle Obama there! Great location to hold an event such as that...

My first sharks game! It was a blast and a really fun experience! The giant shark head that comes down for the players to come out onto the ice with is so RAD! I loved all the ocean-esque touches all around the arena. And my favorite... watching the entire crowd turn into a bunch of hungry sharks! SO FUN! Go shaaaarks!

Drinks are overpriced $14 for a beer thats a rip off!

Had a great time at the Shark's game. Woohoo.... Victorious in over time

Here for Joyce Meyer's conference and enjoying it. The building and facilities are great.

Super clean, they have one person attending bathroom, very organized staff

Golden Knights Fan, so the crowd was very aggressive. The drinks and food are pricey, but everything else was fine.
