Beer Bars near Santa Cruz

“This place has some really delicious drinks and great food. I also love how dog friendly it is. I came back twice in a weekend.“

“Sante Adairius Rustic Ales offers an exceptional beer selection; the highlighted brew was particularly noteworthy. The accompanying pizza surpassed expectations, boasting delicious flavors. Keep in mind that the brewery tends to get quite busy around 5 o'clock, so plan accordingly. Additionally, it's a very kid-friendly place, making it a great option for families.“

“Outstanding food and Hawaiian music playing! Had a fantastic evening!“

“Often overlooked bar in Santa Cruz, looking out over Neptunes Kingdom. The pirate themed mini golf course provides a surreal background for imbibing beers and playing pool and pinball. If you go in winter, chances are you'll have the place to yourself.“

“Hands down the best fast slice pizza in Santa Cruz. And at the right price too. The slices are massive, delicious, and I don't know how they're able to get the dough simultaneously so fluffy yet crunchy every bit of the way?! Ever since the ownership change, this place just keeps getting better and better. Lovely staff, and a great place to either sit and munch a slice or take to go. Skip pizza my heart and check these folks out.“

“Thank You Haley you have Outstanding Customer Service!! Thank You Pono the food was delicious and thank you for having your cooks wash their hands throughly!“

“The vibe at Mission West is just right. We have sat outside with the pup a few times but last night we chose inside. The bar is beautiful and tidy, the mixers made us fabulous cocktails (the smoothest Boulevardier in town), and the other clients were friendly too. There was an engagement party going on in the back and the staff easily took care of the group's needs as well as the others of us. We were impressed that the owner Max came in on a Friday night at 8:30 to help out behind the bar. Mission West is my new go-to neighborhood bar!“

“Tried the Charlie pizza and burrata appetizer. The pizza is excellent - best I've found in the area. The crust is crispy and airy but tender inside. Sauce is simple and good and the toppings are top quality. The burrata is served with oven dried tomatoes and fry bread, and is just outstanding. Nice job!“

“I loved this location being so close to the ocean.The wine flight was so delicious and the charcuterie plate is fabulous, especially the Italian truffle cheese. Service is amazing and the staff are so friendly and accomodating!!Highly recommend!!“

“East End is great place with a great aesthetic. It has almost a galley kitchen vibe with table seating down one side and the bar on the other. There's even booth seating upstairs which is cool. We like coming here when in a mood for splitting a speciality pizza and salad. They keep a ton of local beers on tap, local wine and other specialty drinks. Recently, they were really accommodating to a party with 7 adults and 2 toddlers, but given there isn't a lot of table space it was a tight squeeze upstairs! But they provided coloring pages and crayons to the kiddos to keep them busy which was nice.“
