YES!!! A dive bar that doesn't feel too "divey"! Sir Froggy's Pub has a large center bar with a penny-infused countertop (cute detail) and great service (our female bartender told us her drink specialty is that she "makes all the drinks with love"! Teehee) The place is decently-sized and pretty clean; it's not too crowded; and it has a few TV screens playing sports games so the vibe was very light and lively. There was a pool table, though no one was playing it at the time I was there. The lighting was perfect for a bar (not bright like a hospital and not divey-dark). My gin and tonic was perfectly-made. It's a great local hangout bar. read more

Went in today for a pint of Guinness and was treated like pure crap, I usually head out towards Monterey or San Francisco for pubs, decide to come to this one and give it a try, awful service and the pour to my Guinness was absolutely disgusting, on top of the fact that it was completely out, she kept pouring it and switching cups in between. read more

Such a fun spot! Kept wanting to check it out because of the name, was not disappointed. Cat was amazing, we'll definitely be back!

Best dive bar around. Walk in anytime and leave with new friends. All the bartenders are awesome and the drinks are strong. Can't ask for anything more! read more

On our way to Sunset beach we wanted to watch The Warriors vs Celtics game we came in. When you look up "dive bar" this will come up however, I recommend it! Susie Froggies has a very relaxed feel. They have a wood burning stove and pool tables. The bartender welcomed us in when we came in. Full bar with bar munchies - he offered us frozen pizza and or burritos he would microwave for us, chips and beef jerky available BUT they allow you to bring in your own food! We went across the street to El Chipotle and brought back Birria burritos and chips. There are 4 TVs with different sports on. Lots of locals came in and the bartender knew their names! A locals "Cheers". Have to visit at least once! read more

This place is too cute. Love the vibes, cabin feel, management, neighborhood! If you get the chance to meet the owners, (not while you're getting 86d or anything- LOL) you won't regret it... some of the best people I've met. Kat can absolutely RUN a great show over there! Can't wait for the holiday season and fun events. read more

Fabulous place to hang out and have a cocktail watch the game and chat. Close to the beach and a place to getaway from the crowds.

Went there last night. Horrible service. The dude needs a new job. He kept walking past my empty glass. It wasn't even busy. No bueno.

We came to town and wanted a few drinks and to relax. Courtney was an amazing bartender. We went to a few other bars and didn't feel comfortable. Walked into this place and felt at home. The drinks were perfect and service was even better! Thank you Courtney for an amazing evening! read more

Although I no longer drink, when I did Sir Froggys was one of the most welcoming places I've ever been. The bartenders are lovely and kind, the atmosphere is warm and feels like home. Always a good time at Froggy's! read more

If youre not a local they'll treat you like crap. Make you wait, over charge you etc. Avoid this bar owner is terrible.

Good local joint -- no frills or gimmicks. The bar has snacks and good, stiff drinks. The bartender made a michelada for someone else and it looked good, so I tried it. Huge fan now! It's my go to drink! read more

Mellow atmosphere, clean, quaint and warm like a pub should be, with friendly bartenders, it's kind of old timey. The clientele is a mix of all ages and types of people. It is a drinking establishment, with a jukebox so it can get loud and rambunctious as the evening carrie's on. read more

Great community bar. Friendly bartenders. Fun place to go play pool and listen to music.

The owner is amazing! But the customers that go to this bar make it less than easy to be in there! It's sad because this place used to be fun to grab a drink at. read more

Service was excellent. Bartender - cute, friendly, smart Atmosphere - disappointing. 4 screens + pool table I expected that Old Pub 'feeling' Nothing interesting read more

Great owners and staff! Always a chill unpretentious place to just hang out and have a beer or drink.

Reliable local. Order beer, simple drinks, and be a tad patient. The pool table rolls right. The juke box plays whatever the locals want. All in all good dive bar, friendly folks and vibe read more

The regulars try to Rob you out of the pool table and the bartenders are incredibly rude

Great spot for watching the game. Tasty beers on tap and a super friendly bartender. Will definitely visit Sir Froggy's again!

Wished everyone would quit saying what a cool, respectable, best bartenders, awesome juke box, comfortable place, everyone is great and everyone is soooo friendly. Next think you know there will be a packed house and no room for me. OK this place is the best. read more

Nice guy behind the bar. Allowed us to bring food in. Changed channel to the game we wanted to watch. Would go again

This place is awesome! My boyfriend and I heard about this place, and figured we should try it out, as we love to find new bars. We walked in and were greeted by the bartender Patty. She was so nice! So we're all the locals who didn't make us feel like outsiders. The bar was clean, and the drinks were good! We received some great recommendations for places to eat in Soquel. We can't wait to try them! Locals know best. When Patty's shift was over, Zeke took over, and all I can say is, he's a great guy! He made great drinks, and was as friendly as can be. Another plus is the jukebox! I highly recommend this place read more

Fun place to drink. I always have a good time. Especially the holidays and other times when many pubs are closed, this place is good read more

Went to this bar with a new friend of mine on Sat the 17th. She highly suggested we patronize this establishment. I was NOT disappointed. It's a small, quiet lil bar with the MOST friendliest, most awesome bartenders you will ever find! They have this badass juke box that you can use your phone to play music...and a great pool table! Place is super clean! You can even bring food from outside and eat it while you watch sports on anyone their Huge tvs..(can't recall the exact number...I think its 5 ). So if you need to wash away the horrors of your week with a good IPA or if you're tired sitting home alone with your cat watching reruns of I Love Lucy, then get hoppin' down to Sir Froggys!!! You can thank me later!! read more

What a great place to take a break, enjoy a good drink at a great price and chat with the smart and funny Kat! read more

Kendra is a very kind and attentive bartender! The bar is very clean and cozy. The crowd is chill. I always have a good time here and recommend it to anyone read more

Came here for some continued drinking fun after the Crows Nest the other night ago. The place was EMPTY. I mean seriously, EMPTY. Besides our group of around 8, there were only 4-6 other people. The bartender lady was cool. She gave me water cause I was the DD. I like when they don't give you crap. :) They have a pool table which made hubby's day. Only $.75 to play. Overall and nice little bar. read more

This is my absolute favorite bar in town. The prices are great and the drinks are tasty. They have a pool table, five TV's always playing some kind of sport, cold beer, and great company. No, it's not constantly packed and is not a "hipster" bar. Sometimes you'll go in and you'll be the only person there. Sometimes you'll go in and meet the awesome afternoon crowd and have a blast playing dice and talking to older timers. it's just the epitome of neighborhood bar. They don't serve meals in house (except on Mondays), but there are LOTS of options surrounding the bar and they have menu's for them all. Most of the restaurants will deliver to the bar and if you just want something to munch on there are chips and hot dogs available. Speaking of Monday's, that's when they have E & J Catering come in and set up for dinner from 6-8pm. Every week is different and you cannot beat the deal. Freshly made, for only $8 you get a dinner salad, a large entree, and dessert. They keep each months weekly menu in bar so you see what's going to be available in the following weeks. I have eaten here almost every Monday night for the last two months and have yet to be disappointed. Also grabbing some Bagelry then going next door and eating it with a bloody mary is mighty convenient. Love this place. read more

I'm going to agree with Jaydog P. and say "You can get drunk here. That's about it." * Smoking is allowed. Kinda. * The regulars are enjoyable once you prove that you're not there to judge. * People may or may not live in their cars in the parking lot. I'm not sure. read more

Well if I'd written this review back in 2008 when I was last here it would have been five stars. I'd longed for the day when I'd set foot in this bar once again and since moving to CA from England it was #1 on my priority list to get back to Sir Froggy's Pub in Soquel. Many an hour on my vacation was spent here in '08 with my poor wife having to drive my drunken ass back to our hotel after propping up the bar buying shot after shot, one for me one for Ray - the most awesome bartender I've met in America. And yes I even bought the branded merchandise and brought it home with me. I used the beer glasses daily which is reflected in their extreme fading from my dishwasher! The fact that homeless people live under the bridge next door and get wasted with the regular patrons was just awesome to me, it felt like a melting pot of all genres of Soquel life and the homeless people especially were great to talk to. Met some really interesting characters and it was definitely this bar that spurned my appreciation for this uniquely-American 'dive bar' concept. Being able to smoke at the bar and thumb one's nose at the 'powers that be' was kind of amazing to this clueless Brit who is used to the fact that when the government says you can't smoke in a bar, it really means you can't smoke. So I finally got here a couple weeks ago, and maybe it was just because it was a quiet night, or the realisation that my favourite bartender no longer worked there, or the fact that smoking was now prohibited, but Sir Froggy's seemed to have lost its ethereal image in my head and was no longer the bar I had been striving to return to. I want to give it another shot but my wife is reluctant to hold me up at the bar, don't blame her really. It's definitely a bar you go to to get smashed. For now, I'm giving it 3 stars until I can convince her to drive me there on a busier night! read more

You can get drunk here. That's about it. Try not to look anyone in the eye. Last time I pulled in the back there was a couple slackjaws doing lines off of a cd case in the car next to me. I'm cool with that. It was pretty smokey inside, that's fine too, I guess. Then I sat in my stool for about ten minutes drinkless until the hot chick (I think her name was Amber) decided to stop chatting with some crusty dude and serve me. The beer was cold, that's good. I will keep coming back here because I can wobble home, eat their pretty tastey BBQ and smoke. read more

Not a favorite at all. A sketchy place to say the least. We ended up across the street to a family owned bar, and had the best time. read more

Usually I am all for dive bars, but this place is NASTY. I live up the street from this eye sore, but have never been to it til tonight. After the Sharks game we decided to go and get a quick drink. Even before I have both feet in the door one of the bartenders screams "IDS, IDS I NEED TO SEE THEM" at me. I get you need to show that you are over twenty one, but give me a minute lady. Next when my friend tried to order a drink she got ignored. Once we finally got to order, the bartender kept staring at me til I tipped. Look, I see you're dressed like a stripper and are used to lots of tips, but sorry. Not giving you one for shitty service. All and all I really don't like this place. If I want a stripper looking chick ignoring me and glaring til I tip her I will go somewhere that actually makes good drinks. read more

I have always loved the old local bars!! This bar is no exception everything from the old bar top to the awesome locals and of coarse I can't forget the Courtney's Great job read more

Froggys pub is a fun dive bar with a mixed crowd and that's what makes it cool. The bar tenders are nice and the service is good. read more

I love Sir Froggy's Pub. We came here on monday night and the place was nice and quiet. They had a fire going in the fireplace, it was the perfect place to sit and have a drink with my boo. The drinks were stiff and very cheap. Wish that I lived near here, because I would be a regular. Only warning: this is not a hipster place or a club. This is a laid back atmosphere to enjoy the local flavor and environment. read more

Cool place, plenty of TV's to track your sporting event! I've only been here a couple of times, but enjoyed it a great deal. Plenty of room inside, bathrooms were clean and staff were attentive. Looking forward to another visit soon! read more

Walked in with two friends and were served by a "Sarah" and asked if she was new to Santa Cruz and we were talking about having a suntan living in Santa Cruz and she told me to "fuck off" as well as a bunch of other trash talk even after we left her a tip!! We will never go there again nor will everyone I know that hangs out at jj's. Super lame bar read more
