Hidden gem for sure. Had a burger with this apricot sauce that wasn’t sweet, just gave it this perfect little kick with the grilled onions and cabbage. So good. The homemade potato chips were fresh and crispy too.
We went when it was quiet, service was great, super clean, relaxed sports-bar feel without being loud or crazy. And dogs are welcome, which automatically makes it better.
Definitely going back.

If you’re looking for a true locals spot in Santa Barbara that is near the beach with solid food and zero drippy fancy – this is the spot! Expansive food menu for all your cravings, full beer and wine list and I think alcohol but not sure. And if you’re into catching sports while eating and drinking (I hear that’s a thing lol) – this solace has you covered!

Thank you to our server who is very nice and was very nice to our dogs. They have a full menu with lots of options and also a doggy menu. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We parked out front on the street but it looks like there is a parking lot behind the business. The beer was great and our Fish and Chips were also delicious. Our dogs loved the biscuits and gravy from the dog menu and the beef patties we ordered for them. Will definitely stop by if we are in the area again.

Great local bar to watch a football game! You can actually hear the game. We didn’t have anything except drinks and happy hour menu, so I can’t speak about the entrees. Happy hour specials were decent and pretty much something for everyone. I had the barbecue chicken quesadilla, my husband had a smash burger. Both pretty good. The pretzel was very good (didn’t like the cheese sauce personally). Or waitress Bri was great!!! I would totally go back even if it weren’t game day 🙂

Wifey and I stopped in for a late lunch. Staff is friendly and informative. We sat out on the back patio. I had the blackened salmon sandwich, wife had a Cobb salad. Her salad was pretty big, different lettuces, lots of chicken and bacon and such, she enjoyed it
My sandwich was awesome, 2 good sized pieces of salmon, lettuce and tomato, delicious l. The onion rings were perfect, light and not oily
Great seletof beers and a full bar. We would recommend this place to anyone wanting a nice lunch with a cold beer.
Give it a try

My husband, myself, and our doggie stopped for a bite and found it very pleasant. They had an outdoor seating area, which was very nice. We had burgers and fries they were cooked perfectly and really tasty. They offered a doggie bowl so sweet. I’d go again. It’s not too pricey. Average price. Give them a try.

What a treat! This restaurant was conveniently located near our hotel, and we’re so glad we stopped by. The pistachio-crusted salmon was absolutely amazing—cooked to perfection and now my favorite type of crusted fish!
My husband had the smashburger and really enjoyed it. Just a heads-up: the burger doesn’t come with a side, so be sure to order one.
Their happy hour drinks were fantastic—strong margaritas and great deals! Our waiter was awesome, and the service overall was excellent. Bonus points for being super dog-friendly—they even have a dog menu! Highly recommend this spot for a great meal and atmosphere!

What a great find! We had the soft pretzel, fish tacos, filet mignon bites, and peanut butter pie – all really good. Our waitress was seriously outstanding. We’re just visiting for a couple days but would definitely return and recommend.

We only had one night of our holiday in Santa Barbara and I wanted to visit here because of the great range of beers brewed on-site. The beers were indeed great but just as good was the food. We ordered 2 filet mignon, a blackened pork chop and the pork tacos. We all thought the food was delicious and my wife says the steak she had was the best meal she had in the whole 14 nights we spent in California!! We had the Housh Helles lager and Belgian Lace honey blonde to drink but the good thing is you can have 4oz tasters so we had few of those as well.
We would have spent longer here but it was closing time by the time we finished our meal. Would love to visit again.

The day after my son’s wedding (early Sept), we had about 14 people staying over and I needed to book a dinner reservations. A lot of the places in Santa Barbara were asking for ridiculous minimums for food & drinks — just for 14 people. Thank goodness I found The Brewhouse–just a regular reservation (no minimums).
Great food, very relaxing atmosphere, very accommodating. They sat us outside, in the front patio area — it was just us so it was really nice area for us to talk and relax
I highly recommend them
