Kilho P. • October 4, 2013Great place to throw a party...been to a couple. Great space, scenic, patrons will be impressed. Plus it's right in the heart of Santa Barbara.

Vittorio G. • March 18, 2012order your ticket online = check ... but get there early & grab a cup of coffee & pastry at Cafe Zoma next door & share a kid combo popcorn with your date ;~)

Alexia C. • November 8, 2015UCSB students go in for free. It's relatively small in comparison to many other art museums but it has a beautiful collection that is constantly changing.

Jesse T. • September 22, 2012Watch anything here. The interior is awesome.

Coach K. • March 10, 2015Super fun place! Great for girls' nights, or even just a day by yourself. The instructor is so sweet and really does a great job but... like other posters have said...stick to the champagne.

James Y. • May 26, 2012Great music, good drinks (Purple people eater cocktail!), and an awesome place to perform at. Food's awesome too...
