    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.

As Usual, I ordered the BEST Hot Wings in the city and a few couples were staring as I take a bite out of these amazing wings. They ordered some as well. I know you guys have read my previous reviews of this place and decided to come here and see for yourselves that what I was saying is true. I can tell. I'd like to believe it was me that made this place so crowded and not the Final Four game, so let me live, okay. Anyway, things have seriously gone well as far as the customer service here. The bartenders make contact with and will tell you that they will be with you in a second rather than just ignore you. The difference from a few months ago is considerably noticeable. If anyone from Baja Sharkeez ever decides to read this review, THANK YOU for stepping it up and being the fun, cool place you have the potential be. Keep getting better and I will continue to be a loyal customer (with many friends and family). Today was great. One piece of advice.

It was very busy with college students celebrating St. Patrick's Day early along with a local pub crawl event, so the atmosphere was energetic and crowded. All orders were taken at the bar, which was a bit difficult given how busy it was. We ordered beers and a margarita with a Tajín rim for drinks. Since we just wanted a quick bite, we also ordered chips and guacamole and a beef taco. When the order arrived, the taco was actually chicken instead of beef, but I didn't complain or return it. The taco was still flavorful and what you'd expect from a bar-style taco. The chips were nicely salted, though the guacamole could have used a little more seasoning. Staff was very attentive as someone at a table nearby dropped a bottle and it shattered and staff was responsive and immediately came over and cleaned it up. Overall, it had a classic bar vibe with friendly staff and a fun atmosphere pretty much what you'd expect from a busy college bar.

Joe and the entire entertainment team and staff were attentive and made the night a success. DJ Snupi was such a hit with all of the kids and adults alike at the party. The entire entertainment team did a great job keeping the party going. We didn't order food there but the venue allows you to cater with any company that has insurance. I thought it was great that we weren't limited to catering options offered by the venue. Our event was about 140 people. Also, trust Joe and Lisa and their recs. We initially didn't get the patio but after talking to them about the party the recommended. So glad we decided to listen to them and get the patio. Pros: easy to find, plenty of parking, the venue itself it decorated so even if you have minimal decor it still looks great. Great staff. Close to the freeways for out of town guests. The venue is close to hotels. Attentive staff: Cons: honestly the only one I could think of was that the floor was freshly waxed so it was a little slippery at the entrance.

From the moment we signed the contract, Joe the owner made me feel like there was nothing to worry about. On the day of the event, when we arrived an hour early, everything was already perfectly set up. Gloria who handled the balloon decor was incredible, Moti the chef served delicious food, and the DJ was truly professional and kept the energy up all night. Even the security guard was extremely kind and personally walked each child out to their parents' car at the end of the event. They have an outstanding team and if I could give 10 stars, I would. Highly recommended and Joe, see you at the next event.
