In San Jose and wanting for some immediate gratification for beer and food, and wanting to the avoid the "What do you want?" "I don't know, what sounds good to you?" Round robin, we elected to open up Yelp and find the first thing that we paused on as far as curiosity. Just scroll through the list and the first thing that made us think for a moment won. This evening it was Skewers and Brew.

First good thing is that it was only a short walk from the convention center, and given that we all had hotels in roughly opposite directions the closer we ate to the convention center meant that no one had to travel extra distance because of dinner.
The place is pretty small and arranged not so different that a take away joint with a counter for ordering and sparse seating. We were at a table for 6 which there are maybe 4 in the windows. There is seating at the bar and against the wall, with a few other tables around. Pretty small. But compared to the yakatori places in japan that one might find not bad in size.

| A couple of plates of skewers: Sausage, Beef , and Chicken in the forground (lamb and shrimp hiding in back) |
The skewers were.... ok. The beef and chicken were the best of the lot. The lamb is the house specialty, not my favorite, but decent as well.
