This is a neighborhood dive bar. Okay that's what it is, the drinks are very stiff and cheap. The seats are worn, and the clientele local and regular. If you come here often, they treat you well, which is what you want in a neighborhood dive bar. All of these 1-star reviews b*****g about the aforementioned aspects of this place seem to be from very basic batches complaining, literally, about us, the clientele as being somehow "weird" and the bartenders as being somehow inattentive. I'm guessing these are not people who frequent dive bars, but that's the vibe. Sorry. If you don't like it, go to a craft brewery. No basic batches allowed here.

No food just stiff drinks mixed by talented pros. The crowd varies all ages all demographics. I'm there all the time. Why? Because you never know who might walk in. The next one could be the One. Pool tables are Legit. They also have a shuffleboard. Saturday seems to be the slowest night. Thursday is probably the Night to go. They host pool tournaments as well.

Arguably the best pool dive bar in Santa Barbara. When all cylinders are firing they have five bar tables that they keep serviced and felted. House cues are a mixed lot but most of the locals bring their own. Multiple televisions with whatever game is playing on. This is very much a hangout for locals. Be respectful and you'll be welcomed like family!Vegetarian options: This is a dive pool bar, not a restaurant. Basic bar food, though you're welcome to order/bring in food from elsewhere.Kid-friendliness: This is a dive pool bar. Under 21 not allowed.Parking: Good amount of parking in the parking lot (rear and front) as well as ample on-street parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Basic wheelchair accessibility throughout.Dietary restrictions: Again, this is not a restaurant but a dive pool bar. They're willing to let you bring in outside food but be respectful and purchase drinks.

Breaktime is a great place to have a reasonably priced drink and play pool on good tables. Chris always makes solid drinks and is a class act!

Best Goleta bar. The bartender is the best bartender I've ever come across! And I've been bartending for over 30 years. Do yourself a favor and give it a go.
