A rare gem in Santa Barbara. A friendly bar with billiards and a smoker's terrace. Very good beers and a charming atmosphere, a bit out of time. The staff is friendly and helpful. For a real change of scenery, it is a place not to be missed.

Go here. Don't discuss politics, but have a good talk about everything else. Bring cash and a good mood. Great patio where you can smoke and meet very interesting people. I will be back

Loved this place. We had a few beers, played free doubles pool with friends, lost, and they went on to play some strangers. Cash only.

My name is Krista Ling Ling, I love the people there each and every person Who I ever met at this place to me, you were wonderful the kind of people I like to know that is excluding one That being the person who attacked me And now two which now includes the owner I’m a 65-year-old female/male. I’m very rare as I was born with female reproductive organs and a Complete male System below. On March 10 2026 out of nowhere I was attacked by a man and then ridiculed with hate speech in front of all of their patrons. Not once did I raise my hand or threaten the guy I merely asked for an Apologie of which He refused to do while continuing his heat towards me. Police want to arrest this guy for three bunnies one attacking the senior citizen two attacking a disabled, senior citizen and three a Hate to crime. When I went back On March 12 to find out what the owners position was I was told I was not welcome back. I was 86 so I asked her why and what did I do? She could not provide any answer as I did nothing.. I was the victim. I was victimized by the attacker. I was victimized by the bartenders who did not have this guy leave, but kept him mayor after attacking me with a hate crime and knowing that he attacked me with a hate crime, they allowed him to stay.. When I was out front waiting for the police as they asked me to I was told by them that if I did not leave, I would be not welcome there anymore.. I did so I moved down a little bit from where I was just so I would accompany them and be in front as the police instructed me to. What bothers me is, they facilitated this criminals continuation of harming me, and then attacked me as though I’m the one who did this I had nothing to do with it other than I was the victim, and this guy hated me over my disability. They didn’t have to tell me I’d be 86 because I wouldn’t want to go back to a place that would favor a criminal Over the victim and would continue to victimize the victim, which is what they did.

The only place chess is played over days or weeks. Credit cards, no thank you. Roots mixed in with structural elements in the patio, yes please. Conversations about anything and everything are possible. Vapes are forbidden and camel cigarettes required. You’re not sure if the pool players have been keeping score but they’ve been there all night. Weird, cool, hip, rare these days. Stay awesome Elsies.
