Paul is an amazing barman. I haven't seen a passion for mixology this deep since my uni days. Paired the perfect wine to go with our food (from the Broad Street Oyster Company in the back) and the cocktails were amazing! Definitely deserves a drop in while in Santa Barbara!

Flew to Santa Barbara from Seattle while plane tickets were at an all time high price to meet up with some friends for my sister in law’s bachelorette party. This bar looked awesome, but the bartender wasn’t familiar with Washington ids and wouldn’t serve me. He was very unfriendly and obviously not experienced checking out of state ids which seems unprofessional for a tourist town. I’m well above legal drinking age, very surprising and unexpected. Such a bummer since we traveled so far. Will try one of the many other places nearby. Would not recommend.

Nice little cocktail bar! Grab a lobster roll from the built in restaurant while you’re there.

Bartender was friendly, quick and made some mighty fine drinks. Atmosphere was great. Next time I'm in Santa Barbara I'll be back.

Jesus was a wonderfully professional bartender filled with amazing expertise. We loved this bar due to his fun demeanor and will definitely be back. Loved the atmosphere and the amazing cocktails that he served and recommended to us!! He deserves a raise for sure!

This location houses 3 separate businesses that share common space, with Shaker Mill being right in front. Behind the bar has a vintage feel with the wood bar display, and upfront the patio furniture is a bit retro. Their drink menu has a good variety that's well crafted. I also especially love that the bartenders like to make custom suggestions and drinks. Food and restrooms are easily accessible.

Some of my favorite cocktails in town. Can’t go wrong with any of the orders.

My partner and I have been here a few times and we always enjoy the cocktails and atmosphere. One of the bartenders, Eric, makes great drinks and is very personable. Our favorites are the Mango Lassi and the Oceanside. We will definitely be back.

Fun bar with a cool atmosphere. They have some really nice blended drinks and everything is made fresh. The bartenders are really knowledgeable about their craft

Great drinks, great food. My friends are going to be very annoyed that I've found yet another thing SB does better than SF. They'll just have to deal with it and try for themselves.
