Cathy NguyễnDecember 5, 2011Best Bloody Maries I've ever had! You get a ton of garnish AND you get to choose your vodka! Cucumber, garlic, or bacon. That's right: bacon. I recommend cucumber, though. Delish!!
Brunch is served sat & sun starting @ 10am. Get the chorizo sandwich. It's a Spanish style chorizo sausage that is butterflied and grilled to perfection. They also have a great whiskey selection!
Leonardo De La RochaDecember 22, 2013Friendly, casual, full of Santa Cruz locals. Their Aviation gin cocktail impressed as did the fingerling potatoes, and the lamb kabobs. Opt for a stoop at the bar for lively banter with the waitstaff.- Ian HensonMay 13, 2017Such an incredible cocktail and beer list. The appetizer list can't be beat either.
SmjerinaAugust 12, 2011Good cocktails & food, enjoyable atmosphere. Food is a bit slow coming out of the kitchen, but worth the wait. Burger & ravioli were the standouts. Friendly staff. Thumbs up all around!
Fantastic joint. Menu is great, seats are comfortable, but where they shine is tending bar.
Jeff RiderNovember 22, 2011Cocktail captions are awesome: The Pheonix - Scott Summers is a tool. Also, the check comes tucked between the pages of a hardback book, not a check presenter. Charming.
Try the Deviled Eggs - #kvpinmybelly - Savory, creamy #egg yolk as a starter inside this adorable #SantaCruz lounge. Yummy!
Danielle OlsenJune 17, 2013If your mind wanders, let it lead you here.....Quiet Village (one of the best cocktails on the menu).- Try the Baked Orchiette - #kvpinmybelly - #Pasta heaven in #SantaCruz with Gorgonzola cream sauce. YUM!
ClionaJuly 15, 2012We went for dinner here last night. Excellent service lovely people. Have the bruschetta was yum and the 'frida'.
Best brunch in town. Try the Bloody Bloody with half cucumber and half garlic vodkas...awesome.
carla borsoiNovember 22, 2011Bills are delivered as bookmarks in books. Tonight ours came in Harry Potter! Service is slightly inattentive but overall a delightful experience.
Cenk AydinOctober 20, 2012If you wanna get drunk in one glass, try their "the 515" cocktail! It's strong and sugary and with tequila!
Ashley MowreyJuly 30, 2016The space is dirty, there're are stains on the furniture, the whole place is disheveled, and it smells like hand soap. The beer list is limited & their herbal gin was like a mouthful of lavender
Gina GMarch 24, 2014Love the Baron Gannes(?) drink. Muddled raspberries, basil and lemons served with sparkling h20.
Thursday night after 11pm is fried chicken! It is delicious and worth getting here early for.
Allison RobersonMay 26, 2012This is a great place to hang out with friends and have cocktails & appetizers!- Try the Holly Golightly - #kvpinmybelly : Sweet, tangy cocktail named after my favorite #AudreyHepburn character
- Delicious food. Excellent drinks. Chill vibe. Lousy service, but all goods make up for this one bad.
- Sitting outside is excellent, but warning: everything wobbles. You & your drinks have been warned.
Every monday: speakeasy night! 9-2. Know the password and get drink specials.Tuesday: LOST NIGHT! Plays previous episode at 8, new episode live at nine. Loads of drink specials and dharma beer!
Kristan SartorFebruary 26, 2011The Phoenix is the best cocktail I've ever had. Perfectly matched for my tastes!
- Steph MMarch 22, 2013The crab cakes were too hard, the hummus too bland. The cocktails were good; so was the bruschetta and cheese plate.
Trisha LiuOctober 16, 2011Papelmousse... yum! Light and refreshing, so easy to drink! (i.e., danger, danger! ;) )
berry mojitos + biscuits with veggie sausage and gravy = brunch time heaven

"Strikes the perfect balance between big enough and not too big. Impressive programming for a small music venue in a small city, though the great vibe of both probably explains why bands keep coming."
Wilson Favre-Delerue - 8.3
"Dinner was delicious! The ribs were moist, tender and flavorful. The pork sandwich was delectable. The bun was buttered and lightly toasted and so 'baker-fresh' soft!"
Misty Mysty - 7.7
"Try the Fresh Spring Rolls - Very fresh, avocado and tempeh add a lot to the flavor/texture combination, and almond sauce is yummy."
