Excellent cocktail bar frequented by a young crowd. Every drink I have tried has been suprub but in particular I highly recommend the Bananacapa.The place gets VERY, VERY, busy on Friday and Saturday nights so if you fancy a quiet drink go earlier in the week.Note: they is NO food here; not even bar snacks. However, there is a taco truck in the parking lot that serves acceptable, if pricy, Mexican food that you can eat at the Test Pilot’s tables.The only thing that stopped me from giving this place five-stars is the fact that they are very understaffed. Even when the place is heaving they only have two bartenders and you can wait a long time for a drink, or to settle a tab.Don’t let that discourage you. The drinks, the vibe and the people are all terrific and it is well worth a visit, or two, or three.
Fun place and good drinks!!!
These cocktails are absolutely stunning and fabulous. I love the ambience and their Thai iced teas were stellar. Good place for groups.
This is a really fun place! Cool vibes, very tasty drinks, but they are filled to the brim with ice. I watched each drink be literally filled to the top of the cup with ice and then some liquor…the more ice. In my book, that doesn’t deserve more than 3 stars. Especially since island drinks are not served like that. If you are okay with $13 a drink and more ice than drink then you should totally check this place out. I’ll probably go again….but not my first choice. The bartender was extremely friendly and a great time! Shout out to Manny!
I really appreciate a bar that can craft something delicious with or without alcohol. The non-alcoholic Buccaneer was fantastic with lots of interesting flavors. Definitely a place I would recommend to others.
The drinks were good and the rum selection was great but the vibe/staff were a bit off.We were told all seating was open by the host/bouncer (he was very nice). We stood around waiting for a table for about an hour having drinks. A fun swing seat opened up that my wife really wanted to sit in. 5 minutes after sitting down a waitress asked us to move because of a "reservation". No other tables were available to move to.We were offered free shots (I'm not 21, so no thanks). We instead just left our unfinished drinks and went somewhere else.It's probably great on a weeknight when it's less busy.
Fantastic Tiki cocktails and fantastic staff. You cannot miss this if you’re in Santa Barbara.
Awesome Tiki bar. Super fun cocktails
A great little tiki bar in SB that saved my failed Hawaii trip a few years ago by giving me a little taste of islands. I'm glad they are still going strong. ❤️
Every cocktail we ordered was great. Highly recommend the Lion's Tail, The Bucccaneer, and the Medicina (not listed on the menu).
