  bars and restaurants are the only things really thriving there

Not even. Downtown is replete with failed restaurants in recent years, even Los Gatos Brewing and Amicis. Even longstanding fast food options like the McDonald's and Ben & Jerry's on San Carlos and the Carl's Jr on 3rd are long gone.

You're right. Even on a warm Friday night, the city center couldn't be said to be crowded. You can get a seat at a bar or a table pretty much anywhere you want, in my experience.

LGBC also went under in Los Gatos, it was an awful restaurant that also had crappy "microbrew"
