    The Bar

    Great locals bar. Bartenders and servers are fast and know their stuff! Super friendly staff. I wish I was a local, I'd be here all the time!

    The Black & Bleu Burger and the Fried Chicken Sandwich.
    Natalia B.

    I had the black n bleu burger and the fried chicken sandwich. Tbh both lacked the... je ne sais quoi (had to look up how to spell that) that I wanted. Did not take me to flavor town. Would not go again. Still ate all of it tho #CleanPlateClub

    Good food but jut paid 19.00 bucks for this tiny beat salad! This seems to be a side size not a full size

    Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Trish M.

    Got the fried chicken sandwich with fries for takeout. Fries tasted old, like it was microwaved and like it's been sitting there for 2 hrs. The sandwich was dry, there wasn't much meat, just a very thin piece of fried chicken, the bread tasted dry and old, no flavor at all from the whole sandwich. It's not worth the price of $20. Although service was alright, I arrived there within 10-15 mins upon placing the order over the phone. From what I could tell the ambiance was pretty much typical for a brewery, not too busy the time I came. Not sure if I would come back here, maybe just to try their beers out and not the food.

    Mushroom sausage pizza
    Connie C.

    This restaurant was great! We thoroughly enjoyed our food and the ambiance. They have an inside seating area and an outdoor patio. We sat inside. You come in and put in your order then sit down with your order number and they bring the food out to you. The First item that we ordered was the mushroom sausage pizza. As you can see from the picture, it has arugula and Parmesan on top. The mushrooms must be sautéed prior to adding to the pizza in some type of magical butter sauce because they were so delicious and tasted great with the chicken sausage Altogether, this was an amazing pizza that me and my kiddo appreciated. The next item we got was the mac & cheese, which was very solid in flavor and cheesiness. It had a great taste and wasn't overly cheesy. They also gave a pretty good size that fit in a medium size bowl. The last item we ordered was the weekly special which was a flat iron steak with mashed potatoes and broccolini. The steak wasn't seasoned too much, but it was good enough to satisfy my steak craving. Potatoes however were very delicious and the gravy they were served with was amazing. They had about 12 or more beers on tap ranging from lagers, ales a kombucha, hazy IPA, IPAs, etc. I didn't get to try any, but maybe next time. Overall, the service was great and the servers were attentive and kind and made it us. Feel welcome to be in the restaurant. I would definitely visit this place again and order the pizza and would love to try some of their other items.

    Warm cast iron chocolate chip cookie with McConnell's vanilla bean ice cream & chocolate drizzle

    Yellow belly has many great options to choose from but have you ever just wanted to get some great dessert with friends? Well, look no further Yellow belly's laid back setting and incredible cast iron cookie are where you want to go! My friends and I love coming here for a fun dessert! The cast iron cookie is among the best we've ever had, the cookie itself is incredible then you add the fact that the chocolate is warm & gooey plus you add two scoops of your fav McConnell's classics that perfectly balances the warmth of the cookie - you're guaranteed to have a party in your mouth!

    Traffic mitigation strategies. What are some of yours? One of mine is just temporarily surrendering, pulling off the stinking freeway , and finding literally anything else to do for a spell. Therefore, all that I really asked of Yellow Belly was to be my sanity break from that parking lot formerly known as U.S. Highway 101. Well they ended up being far more than that! Their "Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich" was crispy and delicious! Although I was satisfied with the portion I was provided, I seriously wanted another one. Not because I was left wanting, but because I just wanted that dining experience to continue. Their "Fig + Goat + Bacon Burger" was also outstanding. The figs and goat cheese provided a sweet and savory combo that matched the saltiness of the bacon wonderfully. Their dining environment is on the minimalist side of the spectrum, but they offer fairly substantial outdoor dining opportunities. There is absolutely no way that I could fail to mention the typewriter found in the restroom (multitasking anyone?). That is just the right about of quirkiness to appeal to me and engage my imagination. (And for those who may be wondering, that is NOT where this post was written. ) I really enjoyed the 70's Funk and Soul they were dishing out during our visit. The next time I'm visiting Santa Barbara it won't take another California traffic jam to get me in here. And that's...Henry's Take. #santabarbaradinner

    We came around 6pm on a Wednesday and sat on the front patio, the flowers, lights, and music were very nice. Drinks came out immediately and food was out within 15 minutes, the fig, goat & bacon burger was our favorite and the mushroom sausage pizza was delicious. Highly recommend coming here!

    Extremely bizarre confrontational customer-service experience…read more Came in around 5 PM with my wife and dog for Yankees-Red Sox. Everything was great for the first couple hours until around 7:45 PM. I brought my two-hour-old glass up for another Mexican lager and said, "I brought my glass up so you guys don't have to waste another glass, here you go brotha." The employee that just clocked in, Aaron, responded, "Of course I'm gonna use your glass, what else am I supposed to do?" He then stared at me and said, "do you expect me to give your dirty glass to someone else?" I explained I was only offering because I had seen fresh glasses being used earlier for other customers . He gave me the beer and said, "Go ahead and take this glass exactly where you were sitting" with a smug smile He continued staring at me from behind the bar after I sat down. Completely baffled, I finally asked across the bar, "What's the issue, man? You're still staring at me. I'm just sitting here with my wife. Are you drunk on the job? That's the only explanation. What's your issue?" Another employee wearing a Red Sox hat also appeared to repeatedly take shots of beer directly from the tap. I believe Aaron was as well cause his eyes were squinty a bit, but I can't confirm..Will only say facts I can replicate. I only had two drinks over 3 hours and wasn't intoxicated, celebrating anniversary with my wife. I've never experienced customer service this bizarre anywhere. If you're considering coming here, I'd seriously reconsider. A completely unnecessary interaction ruined what had otherwise been a great night. Multiple breweries in the area, go elsewhere.

    We had our wedding reception at Brass Bear Brewing Co. Uptown and I honestly cannot put into words…read morehow incredible this team was. They didn't just host our wedding- they genuinely took care of us, and I will be grateful to them forever for the amount of love, effort, and attention they poured into our day. From the beginning, Emily (the venue coordinator) was absolutely amazing. She was endlessly communicative, patient, accommodating, and supportive through every question, vision, change, and stress spiral I had throughout planning. Somehow she made all of my ideas come to life while still respecting our budget, which felt impossible at times. She truly became one of the people I trusted most throughout this process and was genuinely my hero. Kenzie and Melanie were our event leads the day of, and they completely ran the show flawlessly. They didn't just decorate the space beautifully (which they absolutely did -it looked PERFECT), they made sure Tyler and I were taken care of every second of the night. They got us food and drinks so we could actually eat without constantly being stopped, checked on us throughout the evening, handled problems before we even knew they existed, and made sure we were happy, relaxed, and able to actually enjoy our wedding. They made the entire night feel effortless, and I truly cannot imagine the day without them. We also specifically requested Darren as our bartender because we already loved him so much, and even though it was his normal day off, he still came in for our wedding. That meant the world to us. Anthony and Declan were also incredible support staff and helped keep everything running seamlessly all night long. Every single person at Brass Bear went above and beyond for us in ways I'll never fully be able to express. Our guests are still talking about how wonderful everything was, and truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding was choosing this venue and this team.
