Brass Bear is my favorite Wine and Beer place to go to with friends and family. Very kid and dog friendly. Love the outdoor feeling, but private! Play area for small kids. Most of all very accessible, I am on crutches and use a scooter. Love this place and my husband and I and friends come here a few times a year, we live in Burbank, CA.

We went today (Sunday) I got the Funk Zone grilled cheese, fiancé got the tacos. Both were great, big flavors on the cheese blend they used. Nice atmosphere, they were playing mid-2000s rap/R&B. I can definitely see us coming back for drinks on a weekend.

Great find while visiting the beach across the street. Super laid back with very nice outdoor seating with umbrellas & shade.
The food was good, we had the sliders & like them. The Amber & local Lager were tasty.

As we stepped into Brass Bear Brewing, the cozy atmosphere immediately put us at ease. Nestled in the heart of Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone, this hidden gem offers more than just great beer—it’s a delightful culinary adventure. It’s dog and family friendly. You can bring the kids there and they can play in the kids area so the parents can enjoy a beer out in the sun shine. It’s a win win for every family. Fun for all!
Now, let’s talk about the star of the show—the Blood Orange Beer. It’s safe to say that this brew has forever changed my beer-drinking standards. The vibrant hue hinted at the citrusy goodness within. With every sip, I was transported to sun-kissed orchards, the tangy sweetness dancing on my taste buds. It’s no exaggeration to declare it is the best blood orange beer I’ve ever had. Actually it’s the best beer I’ve ever had! Wishing they were closer to home. We paired the beers with the Grilled Cheese and Homemade Hot Sauces, a winning combo. The gooey cheese melted with steak was perfectly toasted bread was comfort food at its finest. But what truly elevated our experience were the homemade hot sauces brought to our table by the friendly employee. Each sauce had its own unique kick, adding layers of flavor to our meal. Kudos to the chef for these fiery delights! Brass Bear Brewing strikes the perfect balance between comfort and culinary excellence. Whether you’re craving a hearty sandwich, exploring unique hot sauces, or seeking out extraordinary beer, this place delivers! Brass Bear’s setting is picturesque yet urban, overlooking a parking area with a view of the mountains. The staff’s warmth and attentiveness added to the overall charm. We got to talk to the owner and she was very friendly. We highly recommend giving Brass Bear a visit!

We happened upon this spot about 30 minutes before closing time and decided to give it a shot. The cute patio seating caught our eye and drew us in, but the food is what really wowed us. My husband got the Brass Bear Burger and said it was the best burger that he’s had in SoCal. He wouldn’t stop raving about it. I got the Chicken Salad Sando and it was so good that my teenager kept stealing bites, even though she loved the cheesesteak bites that she had ordered. The cute little patio seating areas were great for us and our younger 2 kids who found some friends to play with in a seating area with a bunch of kid-friendly outdoor toys. We will definitely be coming back!

We booked this location for our wedding reception that had 38 guests. It was a perfect atmosphere and the food was incredible. The event menu is diverse and has so many great options for guests of all ages. There are also great options for a half and full bar as well as a partial or complete booking of the venue.
Emily, the event’s coordinator, was fabulous while we talked through the details of leading up to our event and she was very responsive as any questions came up from our end. She was thorough in her explanations and we had clear expectations of what would happen the day of our event.
Kenzie, the day of coordinator, also worked very efficiently and paced the food very well throughout the day. She was patient and communicative throughout the event.
All of the staff did an incredible job with the food, service, and drinks. I would highly recommend having an event here for a small to mid-size wedding. Additionally, a huge, HUGE thank you from myself and my new husband for all the hard work from the staff. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so incredible.

My husband and I are not big drinkers, but we are trying to get out of our comfort zone. In addition to our food, we ordered a flight. The employee helping us chose the beers for us (per our request), explained how each one was going to taste, and even gave us a sticky note with each of the names so we wouldn’t forget.
I ordered the chicken salad sandwich and it was the best one I’ve ever had in my life. I would eat here again just for that. My husband ordered the Brass Bear Burger and really enjoyed it. We also got the spicy zuchini. They were too spicy for me, but the flavor was great and my husband was able to finish them

Great spot!! Fun and cozy patio surrounded by vegetation. Really friendly staff and the gourmet grilled cheese sandwhiches with meat were delicious.

We specifically asked our server if the dishes we ordered were vegetarian. They said yes – but after taking a bite, I realized it was beef. We immediately brought it up, the server brushed it off, saying we had “only asked if the burger was vegetarian” and offered no apology or acknowledgment of their mistake.
As someone who is Jain, eating beef is not just a dietary preference – it’s a deeply religious and cultural issue. I felt sick and disrespected that the staff didn’t even seem to care or take accountability. Instead of making things right, they l brought out a plain grilled cheese and charged us full price for the 2x the cost beef item. No apology, no offer to fix it, no sense of responsibility.
This is completely unacceptable. Restaurants have an obligation to take dietary requests seriously – especially when they relate to religion or ethics. A simple “sorry” and a corrected bill would have gone a long way, but instead, we were met with rudeness and indifference.
If you have any kind of dietary restriction or values you care about, avoid this place.

Just great. Fantastic brews (double IPA) and delicious food. The funk zone grilled cheese was out of this world, and I will be dreaming of the street corn side for the rest of my life. Terrific music on the patio (Drew of See Trees), beautiful ambience, and the perfect end to an excellent day in Santa Barbara.
