Old school Santa Barbara Italian place. The food is good but most go for a stiff drink. One is not enough and two might too many! Right in the downtown and even a great pre dinner place to grab a drink.

This is an old Santa Barbara fav for some good fresh fish, chowder or drinks. Sits on the second story and has a great view of the harbor and the boat activity. After you can take a nice stroll out to the breakwater or out to the beach.

Great place to stop for a bit and have a great view of the city. Nice and quiet, maybe bring a small bite to eat and relax.. More of just a nice place that has a great view to take in. Not a big place just a cool little spot with not many people.

Younger crowd and next door is the slightly older crowd (Bobcat) with more of a Martini 🍸 vibe. If you’d like to dance 🕺 a bit this is where you will end up. Fun place and good vibe. Doesn’t really get going until 10 so don’t go too early or you won’t be impressed. Always an in house DJ.
