Although I do tend to run into someone from high school, or encounter a long-lost crush. And all with exceptional bartenders, comfy and cozy spaces at the bar, outside seating or on one of the many comfy lounge chairs spread out around the Pool tables. And lots of action going on with their Pool League Night. It was fun to see the many games happening, and watching the different styles of players. They also had some tasty vittles being served up in the parking lot area. Had a nice Grilled Cheese and Pork Sandwich, which paired nicely with their extensive Beer-on-Tap collection. I remember when this location was a classic 7-11 in the 70's. Lots of fun memories of riding the Schwinn Sting Ray bike over for our daily Slurpees. Good times.

The bar itself is the perfect size -- small, cozy, and welcoming without feeling cramped. There's a pool table and a music machine, which adds to the laid-back vibe and makes it a fun place to hang out with friends. On big game days, I definitely recommend getting there early since the parking lot is on the smaller side. The drinks are affordable and actually taste good, which isn't always guaranteed. The servers are friendly, attentive, and make you feel genuinely welcomed every time. Overall, this place is all about good people, good drinks, and good times exactly what you want from a neighborhood bar.

What an amazing hidden gem in Goleta!…read more While visiting the town, we were looking for a lounge walking distance from our hotel. We found this cool spot via yelp. A for atmosphere. You are transformed into a tiki/tropical/ vintage/bohemian not sure what to call it atmosphere. Super mellow and chill. We sat at a corner couch across from the bar. Comfy and relaxing, and dim lighting. Drink menu was diverse. Great selection. From cocktails to all types of alcohol. With an average price range of $15. Bartender knew his craft. All drinks ordered were great! C for service. The service dept needs some help, and I get it, with one person serving 15+ people. It is impossible to provide a5 star service. Initially service was great with a smile when we first arrived @ 6 pm. But soon after the bar became super busy. The wait was 20-30 minutes for an order. It was time to leave. We asked for our check and it came non-itemized. If it was 2 or 4 drinks that would be fine, but we were party of 3 with over 10 drinks. Then we had to wait again after asking for an itemized check. Waiter stated they need to hand write as their "machine" was not working. That took more time than needed. Ahhhhhh.... Ah well.. you can't get it all. Hence the 3.5 stars. I recommend, to sit at the bar and maybe pay cash to avoid hurdles I experienced.

Our server Monserrat recommended some excellent choices to my friends on my second visit. With her easy going personality and humor she made the visit a lot more memorable! The place has a ton of western looking decorations that are quite interesting to look at with some pretty decent tunes to listen to while waiting for your food. I would forsure be coming here more often and bringing more people to enjoy the food with me!

Special has live music every weekend, it's part of their charm and I typically like the talent. I live in the Cortona Point Apartments next door, so whether I'm listening to it there while having a drink or in my own home, it's been a treat for the past 2+ years. I love music! Tonight was a different story. They gave some talentless DJ the aux so he could blast his terrible music on a much louder sound system than typically used. The bass has been shaking the dishes in my cabinets for hours and my poor cat is severely stressed, hiding under the bed. How could a brewery that shares a wall with a community that patronizes it constantly subject its neighbors to that? There's other breweries that I'll be visiting from now on.
