    Abba would love the Wildcat Lounge!
    Paige M.

    If you want strong drinks, amazing dancing and maybe even some silent disco, this is the place. Also Sundays are super special and the Glitter Brunch is a MUST SEE amazing extravaganza every week. During the weeknights Monday-Thursday and on Sundays it is a very diverse (age, race, sexual identity/orientation) and FUN place! Friday and Saturday nights after 10 pm it gets younger and crazier, but if thats what you're looking for GO FOR IT! Stays open later than anything else and has 2 DJs most nights (minimum) and 3 separate bars!!

    If you're looking for a Sunday Funday brunch then look no further! Come to Wild Cat and enjoy their new extended outdoor patio area. There's plenty of socially distanced seating, umbrellas for shade, hand sanitizer, and music to get your groove on. Glitter Brunch is offered on Sunday's, with a limited menu of food and cocktails. I ordered the chilaquiles on my visit, and was very surprised by the serving size! Not only was it more than enough, but the food was delicious and flavorful. It is prepared by the Little Kitchen, so if you've been there then you know it will be good! My drink of choice was the Sangria. This is not your typical sugary sweet Sangria, and that's exactly what I loved about it! Made with fresh fruit and slightly sweet, this was the perfect drink! Despite all the challenges local businesses have faced during COVID-19; I love seeing the creative adjustments that have been made around town to keep business flowing. Dogs are allowed, so it's a very pet friendly atmosphere. There were quite a few on my visit that were well behaved. My hats off to the servers here that clearly work hard and practice all the safety guidelines during this pandemic. Support local and show some love!

    I think this is the best place in Santa Barbara to go dancing at the end of the night. If you are older beware of people that bump into you which I don't really like but it is a nightclub so it is what everyone signed up for I guess. I liked the margaritas. The service was good at the bar. The music was great and they even played Bad Bunny which was cool. I think that the girl that was doing the performance in the ring was great and definitely was very good.

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.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about the entire experience. We were looking for a laid-back and unique venue, and Brass Bear absolutely delivered. From start to finish, the team (especially Emily!) went above and beyond to make our day perfect. The space itself is welcoming and full of character, while also feeling elevated and thoughtfully designed. We actually saved a lot on decor because the venue was already so beautiful on its own. The top things that really set Brass Bear apart (aside from the space itself) were the staff and the food/drinks. The staff -- Every single person we worked with was kind, responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure everything ran smoothly and that it was truly the party of our dreams. They were incredibly accommodating, handled logistics seamlessly, and anticipated needs before we even had to ask. It honestly felt like they cared about our wedding just as much as we did. Also throughout the evening, on their own, the amazing staff checked in on me and the groom, seeing if we wanted a drink refill or a cup of water. The food-- Hands down the best menu we sampled while choosing a reception venue. We wanted a place that would have a spread guests would talk about long after the event, and for months afterward our friends and family were still bringing up the tri-tip and how good everything tasted. Not only was the main food insanely delicious, the welcome charcuterie table was put together beautifully with so many options. The drinks -- The open bar was fantastic! Brass Bear offered a great variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks as part of their open bar, the flow of guests being served at multiple bar stations stayed steady all evening with no bottlenecks, and they even helped me create a custom cocktail to match my purple hair. I also probably emailed (literally) a thousand questions throughout the planning process, and every single one was met with a kind, thoroughly explained answer, or a "let's see if we can make that work!" response, which made the planning feel like a breeze and really fun. If you're considering Brass Bear Brewery for a wedding, celebration, or any special event, do not hesitate. They helped create memories we'll treasure forever, and we are SO grateful we chose them. Highly, highly, highly recommend.

I got one of their tiny Negronis, which came in a cute tiny mug and cost $5 (it sounded fun). Both tasted great and we had a nice time sipping our drinks and taking in the decor. Alas we had to be on our way so couldn't linger long, but we'd definitely love to stop by again the next time we're in town.
