I don’t know what’s better: the vibes, the food or the bartenders. We loved our experience here! Such a hidden gem off the beaten path. A local told us to try the Reuben egg rolls – I don’t even like corned beef – but we still got them, they were amazing. We got a second order and a cheese burger. Such a great spot and memory.

How could you go to the pickle room and not get a pickletini? You can’t! A delicious night cap at what feels like a local joint. It was packed but we got a seat on the booth at the back of the room near the end of the bar. Feels so homey and relaxed, the waitress was so kind. The pickletini was the best I’ve ever had and the pickle garnish was a perfect and necessary touch! I might just go back tonight for round two

Fun Killer place. Cool vibes with great jazz music filtering in the back. Dave the bartender was great talking too. He served up his handcrafted beverages and even served our food outside with speed. We spent our Halloween late night adventure after our fun ghost tour next door. The pastrami egg rolls dipped in homemade horseradish sauce was a surprise hit. Zucchini was crispy and made fresh too. I cannot wait to go back.

Officially my favorite place in Santa Barbara. Love the original “Jimmy’s Oriental Gardens” decor. Katherine and Darcy (sorry if either misspelled) provided attentive, genuinely friendly, and overall outstanding service. Frickles + Pickletini were the best I’ve ever had. Mozz nuggs were also perfectly fried. As a Chicago transplant, I was even impressed with the delicious Italian beef. I had high expectations for this place and they exceeded them. So so impressed!!!

Old-school, dimly-lit, bar and booth cocktail bar, dense with atmosphere. Make new friends while sitting on vinyl cushioned stools at the bar, or join old friends in a booth. The cocktails include distinctive takes on traditional mixes such as the Negroni and Old Fashioned, plus signature concoctions – all with a kick. We didn’t try the food but the menu was extensive. A place for locals and visitors but missed by most tourists as it’s a block away from the State Street tourist traps. The service is unpretentious, welcoming and classy.

Cozy, old school bar. Asian influences. Beautiful gold walls and the pagoda roof over the bar harkens back to its roots as Jimmy’s Oriental Gardens.
