Beer/wine menu

I love unbearable! I would recommend to everyone to sign up for Cruisery rewards, you honestly get so much back! My fave is room 4 activities :)

Līlīko'i margarita (nice!)
Joe P.

Unbearable was Stop #1 on a pub crawl, that was part of the business event I attended in Santa Barbara. Positives: Cool bartenders and good food; Unique līlīko'i margarita; Big place Negatives: No live music; I would return here to grab a drink and bar hop.

Happy Hour menu

Came here around 6:30pm on a Tuesday night and it was empty. Hubby and I each ordered a drink and found it flavorful. We ordered the toast with Brie on the happy hour menu and while it was good, it didn't feel like each piece was worth $3. I would've preferred 2 slices for $5 as opposed to $3 per individual order. I dunno....just my mentality. I loved skee ball and it was only $0.25 per round of nine balls. We also had fun playing the arcade game. I know it gets packed later on in the night but it was lovely having the place to ourselves

Finding indoor spots to relax with your dog can be tough especially when traveling. While hiking and beach trips are fun, there is only so much our feet and paws can tolerate. That's why we love Unbearable. I visited on a weekend, when they open at 1 pm. It was quiet until 2 pm, allowing my dog and me to enjoy some quality time to play. We had a blast playing Connect 4 and Skeeball, and appreciate all their tasty drink options. We stayed until it got busy and a little too rowdy so I recommend coming early with your pups.

If you're looking for a casual, laid back night - this is where it's at. They serve a selection from Wine Therapy down the street so that includes the famous Frosé (frozen blended rosé) and chambongs (champagne flute bong). Helps that they serve those items because Wine Therapy is a bit higher up on State so this is more convenient. They have a variety of spritz' which are very popular as well. I was taking a trip down memory lane visiting all my old stops with a friend while in town and it reminded me how much I loved it here during my college days. Young crowd and sweeter drinks forsure but could easily ask the bartender to adjust the sweetness of the spritz which I'd recommend. I love the Halle Berry or the Drew Barrymore (also can we appreciate the naming!) I love the Meryl Streep or the Drew Barrymore (also can we appreciate the naming!) The space here is what makes it and a good way to come in large or small groups with tons of seating*when not busy. Lots of board games in addition to arcade games from pinball, pool, ring toss, and skee ball +. There's a photobooth as well but it ate our $5 and that sucked... If I was in SB again, I'd just come here for the champagne bongs as a quick pit stop before going out and after grabbing opting for other cocktails down the street.

Lots of people and games

Honestly, the games was what kept us here for an hour. We played ping pong and connect 4! The vibes were loud and chatty, it looked like a huge bridal party was taking over this spot. There was a huge puddle of water on the floor, and no caution sign or any attempts to clean it up. It was pretty packed with people and pretty loud. The games kept us entertained and in the competitive spirit. We did have to leave our leftovers outside as they don't allow outside food or drink. They also have other large games like jenga but those were being used. I like the decor and they're pet friendly!

Perfect place to chill, hang out and rest for a bit while spending the day in downtown. Plenty of sitting spaces. Surprisingly not busy at all on a Saturday afternoon. Drinks are great. Didnt get to try their food, but they seem tasty! Fun place with skeeball, table tennis, and jenga available!

I've been a handful of times and so far all my experiences have been great. I've been on quiet days with my dog and busy Friday nights with a local kickball league. It's a great environment with quality food and drinks and management is nothing short of great.

Happy hour bites

We loveee this place!! Best happy hour bites and such a fun environment - must stop in SB

Lavender Frosee. 2/5. Tastes like iced wine. IG: @amei.eats
Alex M.

(Overall: 68% | D) - The unfortunate irony here is that consuming this frosee was unfortunately unbearable. The drink tasted like if you poured red wine on top of ice. None of the fruity or lavender flavor came through in the slush, making this very dreadful to consume. While the bar was a bit loud, there is some interesting activities and the service is reasonable. Unfortunately, this drink was not bussing.

See all

Food comes from the shared kitchen at the neighboring bar/restaurant the Cruisery so I already know the food is excellent.

We had a great time at the Red Piano! Jimi the fabulously…read moretalented piano player and singer was especially kind playing all our favorite tunes as we sang out of tune. Thank you for making our Birthday pal feel special!

I've been to Santa Barbara loads of time and this was the first time walking into this place. They did have a security guard in front checking ID. The crowd was pretty lively for Saturday night but not too overly packed. Piano man was having his moment. Hence the reason we walked in. Tables and booths were pretty much taken but we manage to get a seat at the bar counter. Cocktail menu had all you drinks, both mixed and specialty. It's a full bar so whatever you're craving I'm sure they could create. We got a few drinks as there was a couple of us. The bartenders was really sweet and fun. She was having a good time and taking care of everyone. It was only her when we walked in but a few others showed up a couple of minutes later. One of the cocktails was a bit too sweet for me so I opted for another. Went with a beer which was ok. Drink wise, about 18-20.00 per cocktails. About average wherever you go to now. Even though we were at the bar counter, a waitress came over to take our order. Piano man was very good. When we walked in he was taking request from the audience. Afterwards, the song choices were pretty great. And the sing along with everyone was fun. Hence why people love a good piano bar. Would I come back, yes. The vibe was great. It was fun place with a good amount of seating. There's a nice big bar area as well as patio seating in front. I don't know if food is offered. Would definitely come back for a fun night.
