I’ve been a fair few cocktail places, across multiple countries and would confidently insist people not to sleep on this one! It’s in a food hall which might put some people off, but it’s tucked away in a corner and the vibe is great. The bartender was one of the most competent, likeable and skilled folks I’ve met behind the bar. The signature cocktails are divine, the spirits selection phenomenal and the pivot to classic cocktails seamless. If you can, you should go!

A great high class cocktail experience great bartenders. Just a little expensive. *update with covid restrictions lifting this place was amazing live music with lots of dancing and fun. Drinks were delicious but again expensive .

Embrace the season early in the season! You must try Christmas cocktails while they are available. The snowball old fashioned is whiskey forward without being too sweet.

A friendly bar located in the back of Abbott Square Market! They have a big variety of affordable cocktails to choose from. Many fruity ones, some gin & tonics, non-alc options, etc.
I tried the Dragonfly cocktail. I was surprised to see a cocktail with lychee in it! It is a fairly rare find in such a westernized-bar. It was served in a pretty coupe glass. The cocktail itself was VERY strong. I didn’t taste any lychee (besides the garnish), but that bourbon definitely shines through. This drink got me feeling quite buzzed to say the least. I also tried a sip of my friend’s Pennyroyal Tea cocktail and this drink was more refreshing & light~

Busy local eatery with variety of food and drinks. Had the Saint Adarius IPA and it was refreshing, citrusy and great for hot day out. Bartender was friendly. No beer flights are available but you can get a shot worth.

Excellent craft cocktails with a special menu of interesting drinks unique to the bar.
I had a “piscrew sour”, encanto pisco, orange acid, and sour beer with what they called a “schezwan buzz button” clipped to the rim. Start the drink and then eat the flower, then enjoy the rest from the new perspective.
The flower was Acmella oleracea and has some interesting effects.
I’ll be going back to try the rest, Highly recommended.
There’s a separate Wine, & beer bar towards the main dining area as well.

When you’re in Santa Cruz and want to treat yourself and others to a posh place to have a cocktail… This is the place. There’s something for everyone and I love how nice everyone dresses up here. There’s a food court with something for everyone including vegan and gluten free. There’s the Abbott’s Squareon the otherside of the door with outdoor seating with huge warm heaters. Kids are welcome. There’s often live music.
