Damon S. • March 13, 2021Great selection of beers, always changing. If you don’t see something you fancy, tell your server what you do like and they can make great recommendations from their can/bottle list.

Vihang M. • May 27, 2018Fantastic sours, IPAs and a couple of stouts. Great addition to the Santa Cruz beer scene.

Richard S. • March 15, 2015I went with the fish and chips this time. Nice and crispy! My wife had the lamb stew and the lamb was tender and the broth was delicious. Burgers and big, tasty and they have some great beers in tap

Paul G. • December 22, 2012Santa Cruz is an early town, which is fine with me. But if a late night nosh--or a late night hang--is what you need, this is the place. Warm, inviting, great burgers, great beer selection--home run.

Marcus S. • September 10, 2012Get there early, because the lounge will get packed quickly. Dining area is usually open, and the food is delicious, largely portioned, and affordably upscale.

Marek M. • September 26, 2014Fun place for drinks and a snack... has a nice mix of surf bum and postmodern classy. Have some original and yummy takes on classic cocktails.
