Can't wait for the reopening?

This little bar is hidden right in the middle of Whole Foods and it has one of the best beer selections in town. Considering this is the most serious craft beer town I've ever seen, that's saying a lot.

Great bartender. Fun chatting with the regulars. Love the daily specials.

Love the Hive, Anthony and Brittany are the best. Great selection of beer, Boochcraft on tap and best place to get a steak cooked to perfection in Santa Barbara. Unfortunately I hear they are closing it down because Whole Foods upper managment are a bunch of fools.

I cannot live without this place. It's amazing to have a place to relax and try a delicious beer while you shop!

Great beer selection, hot food, hot bartenders. Crazy that my favorite bar is in a grocery store.

This is the best place for craft beer, burgers, steak that tastes like you had it at a steak house but ten times better, and amazing customer service. Whether you have Anthony as your bartender, Joseph, Tracy, or Britany you know you are going to get the best service and have the best experience. I will keep going back and hope that Whole Foods keeps them for a long time and maybe eventually gives them a remodel with more seating and better hours.

I love this place! Great locals scene, best beer selection in town and the food is great! The staff is also very friendly. Highly recommend!

Yeah, dig this place. Isn't great to go to a bar in a grocery store? Anyway they rotate craft beers and wines, the vibe is way chill and the food is not only good, it is at a reasonable price, especially considering you are in Whole Paycheck. Give it a try, especially if you are a single woman. :)

Just met some fun people while grocery shopping and taking a beer break... cool little spot I often pass by while shopping. Gets its name from the bee hive on the roof of Whole Foods. That very cool. Taking care of pollinators and beer? 5 stars

Great beer and service.

Great place for a relaxed informal meal. The bartender is very helpful and has a great attitude. At Happy Hour, there's a daily special for $10 with a meal and a beer. Love it. The seats aren't very comfortable if you have any back issues.
