Huge bonus is that there is a fantastic sandwich shop next door serving up yummy stuff which you can order and bring back to the bar!

They have an amazing outdoor patio, a pool table, and their front bar is perfect for a quick drink and a chat about the days activities. My wife and I stayed here for about two+ hours and just soaked in the local conversations. Drinks here will set you back about $5 each, which is a steal in today's rough economy. I've only been to Santa Cruz once, but I feel like this will be my go-to spot every time I'm in the area.

My daughter and I visited Santa Cruz during the Xmas holiday season. She found Mission West on…read moreYelp. It's a small neighborhood Cheers Bar. The bar tenders were quick and attentive. The best part were the drinks. Kettle One Espresso Martini made to perfection $10. Nice pour of whiskey $10. Hands down the best deal in town. I would highly recommend.

Mission West is the real thing!…read more There are dive bars that look like dive bars and they serve crappy drinks. Then there are bars that look like dive bars but they serve excellent drinks.. well-made cocktails, even in the correct glasses and the gorgeous cubed ice that looks like glass and has no bubbles. Those are the kinds of drinks only bartenders who care about the drinks they put out there create, and those are the ones who work at Mission West. The location being near a convenience store and busy street gives the bar the appeal of a dive bar but don't let that fool you. Mission West is this dark moody place that's narrow with decent seating and always a good set of customers to talk to. The specialty drinks are solid. Love their manhattan, paper plane, and espresso martini. If you're special, they may even give you one of their fancy stickers.

They've got a fancy restaurant on the second floor called High Tide, with a different menu. Low Tide offers simple California cuisine highlighting local ingredients. Our favorite dishes were creamy pesto pasta, mushroom veloute, margharita pizza, butterscotch pot de creme. A fun place for beachside dining. Our waiter Clint was delightful.

We stopped by on a Monday morning for breakfast and were seated right away since it was nearly…read moreempty, which was a nice start. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to expectations. The breakfast menu is pretty limited, and the food itself was very basic--especially for the price (e.g., $8 for a small side of fruit or avocado slices). Service was the biggest issue. Our server was often nowhere to be found, and we had to flag down other staff just to get assistance. Despite the restaurant not being busy, everything took longer than expected. Overall, it didn't feel worth the cost, and I'd skip dining here next time. Maybe going when it's busier may be better? ‍

It was a little tricky for our group of four to talk since we were all seated at the bar.

We were seated immediately on a Saturday, which was nice. The AC/fans were blasting so it was actually really chilly inside, but you've got a great view of the ocean and the revolving bar is a bit of a trip to watch! I got the honey macadamia nut prawns, my wife got the tamarind Pua'a, and the kid got coconut prawns. The food was decent- not bad but nothing notable in our opinion. Perhaps our thoughts were swayed by the prices- a little expensive we thought. Decent lunch but a one and done place for us.
