    Love this place. They know their wines and beers. Great ambiance and fun people. Owners Michaela and Johnna are the best.

    Snacks! Gourmet pretzels, chocolate almonds, non alcoholic beer

    This place is so sick!! It's a bar with beer and wine but they also have a ton of snacks and non alcoholic options. My husband and I sat in there for a few hours playing games. They have lots of really cute seating and the artwork is incredible. All of the furniture has little price tags on it so if you liked what you were sitting on you could buy it and take it home. The owners are really kind and cool people to talk to, they're the ones running the bar and serving all day. Will definitely keep going back. Great spot for a date night or just to hang out with friends.

    My special woman, my amazing woman, my one and only woman.

    Michaela and Joana are amazing, cool and chill, great place to chill and connect with your person. It has become our Thursday place. Thursday will always be a special day. Celebration day. The place for Virginia and me. Always welcomed.

    Warning: this hotel is listed under Santa Barbara on Priceline. It is not in Santa Barbara. It is…read morein Orcutt, a long drive away. That misleading listing is what caused me to book in the first place. When I discovered the error, I called to cancel. I asked three times whether a refund would be approved. Three times I was told yes, the manager would take care of it the next day. Don't worry, it's fine. So I trusted them. The next morning: denied. No refund. No explanation. No accountability. Because I trusted their word, I lost the window to just bite the bullet and make the hour drive to and from family. I had to book a second hotel out of pocket, stretching my budget in a way that was genuinely costly. All because a staff member couldn't simply say "I don't know" instead of giving me false assurances to get off the phone. This isn't a miscommunication. It's a lack of integrity. Do not rely on anything you're told verbally here and think twice before booking at all.

    We stayed here for 1 night this past weekend while visiting relatives in nearby Santa Maria. Plenty…read moreof parking and room felt cozy and modern, clean. Breakfast was mediocre as the pastries were stale. Best part of breakfast was the strawberries. Only 1 person staff at the front desk. It was likely the best hotel in the town of Orcutt. No views from our 2nd floor, got a wine bottle upon check in.

    Exceptional mixed drinks- I'd especially recommend the Black Manhattan, the Expresso Martini, and…read morethe Smokey Old Fashioned. To give an idea of how much we like these, we stayed at the hotel for a few nights so we could drink a few extra rather than drive. I used to get to NYC and LA a lot, and particularly when Tim is bartending you are definitely getting drinks that would be competitive in a major city's better coctail bar. The other bartenders are also solid (e.g., some of us preferred Lorene's Espresso Martini and Dennis down in the Barrel Room is great but does drinks with a different style/mixers). The food is also quite tasty now. We were there in winter 2024 when there was some kind of big turnover on the kitchen area, and it had been hit-or-miss. New kitchen for 2025 does well on bar staples (e.g., burgers, sliders). The fish and chips is also pretty great: I'm a hard grader on fish, but everyone realy enjoyed them: light, crispy breading that goes great with lemon. For kids, the popcorn maker was a huge hit, though they could use one or two more kid-friendly entrees. Service is friendly, with good decorum (e.g., fine to have plenty of drinks, but pretty obviously not a place to get wild). As there is often only one bartender on duty, I usually just ordered up at the bar and they'll take it to you. Happy hour was 3-5 PM, daily I think- a few bucks off of drinks and most (all?) food half-price. Overall, had a great time. We'd definitely get back again.

    We usually get at least one drink here when we stay at the Santa Maria Inn. When I stopped in for…read moretheir terrific happy hour (daily from 3:00-5:00), I had the most wonderful service from Lorene the bartender. She was busy with a crowd of regulars but you'd never know it from her positive and super pro attitude with me. She made me an excellent espresso martini ($9 happy hour price) and brought it over to me at my seat. The room itself was expanded some years ago but the original design was by a very famous designer of the 1940s who also worked on Hearst Castle and the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel. You can guess where the original footprint was expanded as there are several historic photos of the room hanging on the walls. If you sit near the fireplace or in one of the old booths, you can still imagine you're imbibing in the 1940s pub-like tavern of 80+ years ago. The food menu looks incredible and the happy hour specials extend to food as well. The nighttime bartender wasn't quite as charming but he was friendly enough when I returned later for an after dinner Fernet Branca ($16.00 for a non-happy hour double). You can take your drink to your room if you prefer. I would like to return for another happy hour and try the food.

We got the fig jam and prosciutto (fig, arugula, prosciutto and gorgonzola with a balsamic dressing) pizza and it was so so so good. Our crust was a bit too overcooked but it was still magnificent.

Should've ordered through phone because when I arrived for my supposed pick up time, I was told they just saw my order come through & wont be ready for another 15 minutes. Ended up waiting another 30 minutes. 1hr total. However, I would've let it passed if I was greeted and dealt with more pleasantly. Wasn't greeted, wasn't asked if I was looking to dine in or picking up, all without a smile. Just a RBF from one the short, female hostess. As well as the other female waitresses who didn't bother to check on my order after I was told it would be ready; but I was approached by a younger gentleman who did have the audacity to nicely ask and check on my order. And eventually when my order was ready, the hostess was eager to see me leave with my order so I wouldn't be roaming the entrance. Wouldn't have if they would've had my order on time. Wasn't even crowded. All in all, pizza wasn't good nor bad. Don't think i'd come back.
