About the only live music club in Santa Barbara, the $10 cover is well worth the dance floor and entertainment. Weak is the food and drinks..stick with beer or wine.

Food Scene

Another long-standing Santa Barbara restaurant, these guys serve some mean Italian food and one of the best rib-eye steaks in town. I recommend making reservations in advance.

Paradise Cafe is one of the oldest local Santa Barbara restaurants. Oak grilled fish and choice beef, great salads too. A full bar offers the complete menu, great drinks, and excellent wine options.

This is next to the harbor so you will need to drive. It's worth it, but make reservations online as they get booked quickly. I know Tom, the owner, and he knows his stuff. Great food and service.

Fantastic food and service, it's my go-to place for a nice meal with a Santa Barbara local feeling. Make reservations as it is difficult to get a table on the fly. They serve dinner at the bar too.

Drinks & Nightlife

Casual bar State Street if you want to have a beer and play pool or darts. They have live music on the weekend which has pleasantly surprised me on occasion. One of the more tame State Street bars.

Cozy couches with a fireplace upstairs with a louder scene downstairs in the bar. Something to accommodate almost any mood. Good drinks and friendly bartenders.

A go-to spot for locals since the bartenders have a very heavy hand. Everyone in Santa Barbara ends up at Joe's at some point making for excellent people watching and conversation. Food is marginal.

Brophy's is known for it's great bar, view and atmosphere. It overlooks the harbor including the unloading dock for fishermen. Best restaurant view in town but the food is just average.
