What a fun spot! We finished a nearby hike and saw the sign on the road as we were heading out to…read moreour hike and we knew it needed to happen on the way back. Great selection of beers, sours, cider, and kombucha. There is an option for food, but we only got drinks. Food looked basic, but I can't attest to it since we didn't make any of it happen. Dogs are allowed, so are kids. lol, there is a kid-free zone if you prefer that is sectioned off. I can see it being a nice option, but it's nice to see families and folks all enjoying the space together. Not much to add other than if you are in the area it is absolutely worth the stop. Service was friendly, disc golf friendly folks (they sell discs), swag to purchase including their super cute glasses which we did go home with. Too cute to pass up.

I always love trying out and knocking out a California brewery. So many to pick from but of course…read moreI may have less of that attitude should I be living there and did a lot of statewide travel like the current and previous states I have lived in. For Sante Adairius the beer that Steve and I had and I can report liked was their IPA known as Spots and Dots. This IPA was a bit more refreshing and fun compared to some IPA'S where it just seems like a blur from one brewery to the next and you wonder if you actually went to a different brewery from the previous one if you have IPA'S back to back. So in this regard I am happy to say that it was distinctive and had it's own signature. Flavor highlights with this IPA are hoppy, juicy and bitter. The beer is also aromatic and smooth. I found out later this brewery makes very good saisons so should the opportunity arise again to get a hold of one I certainly will as I love a good saison!

While on a camping trip with some friends on the coast, we made our way to Sante Adairius Rustic…read moreAles on a Saturday afternoon. We had some dogs with us so we appreciated the several picnic tables with umbrellas out on the patio. This place is known for their saisons, and I enjoyed the limited release one while I was there. Several of my friends purchased bottles to-go. They had some snacks available for purchase, but you can also bring your own food. And it seems like they had rotating food options from a pop-up kitchen, which happened to be tacos the day we were there. Off the beaten path and a little tricky to find if you aren't particularly looking for it, this was a nice spot to sit and enjoy a drink.

I've been dining here semi-regularly for quite a few years. The food has always been great. I…read morelove a good locally-owned and run restaurant, so I'm happy to support them. They used to do a mighty good happy hour menu, and we used to come pretty often during the busy workweek for that, but I guess they stopped that some time ago. I wish they'd bring it back, as it was a good value, great pizzas, and a good excuse to go out to dinner without breaking the bank. Anyway, we've brought many family and out-of-town friends to East End Gastropub, and everyone loves it. It's not inexpensive, but it's a solid, hands-on kitchen with real food. Service has always been good. It's a bit upscale without being fussy. Highly recommended.

Popped into the Bay Bar in Capitola Village for a bite to eat and a cocktail - wow this place is so…read morenice! Brightly painted in beachy colors with beautiful enormous rattan lighting, and a clean and friendly atmosphere. It has cool wrap-around modern seating benches with boho pillows and mirror wall decor near the pool table. We got to meet super charming Brittany, the owner, and ordered a fried chicken sandwich/fries which was crunchy and yummy and the pile of fries were crispy which we love. Also had buffalo chicken wings - they were so perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. They truly were the best I've had in the area. BUT I cannot say enough how incredibly perfect the Martini that Brittany made me was - A Vodka martini with jalapeño-infused olive juice with two blue-cheese stuffed olives served in an icy fogged martini glass. I think it was called the Spicy Christina. Refreshing and a sipping pleasure. We'll definitely be back for all the above and to try their Waffle-Chicken sandwich. We also got to hang with our favorite local bartender, Christa! She'll make you feel at home with her chatty ways, bar games and good pours!!!! This is a great place to meet up with friends and definitely a local fave. But tourists will love it too - it has such a light and friendly party vibe.

My second fave was the GT's Cannabliss lemon berry kombucha with hemp - it was so yummy - like, so many of those CBD drinks are not great tasting IMHO, but this was absolutely delicious! Would def be worth getting a full glass of that one, which I'll likely do next time I'm in! Just such a nice stop, with yummy booch, and super friendly service! I'll be back soon!

Of course there's overflow seating here because they also have a plentiful menu and kitchen to cater to your culinary appitite. We ordered the Uncle David RIPA, which went don't smoothly, is all I can say.

Quality/Quantity - Decided to try their $5 special which was good. Hola Lola, west coast IPA…read more No reds today, so we decided after one beer to go to Balefire Brewing; see other review. Food is also available, but we are going to Shadowbrook for dinner tonight. Atmosphere - Decent size location, well the outdoor space is huge. See pictures.

Live music, see website. Clean unisex restrooms. Wifi - See picture for password. Service - Counter service, overall good service. Got some free beer can stickers for my ski box. :) Thank you.

Just left Discretion Brewing, see other review, and was not satisfied, so we came here. Sampled a few beers to start to confirm what I wanted.

But that made my dinner better when we got to Shadowbrook, as I was so relaxed when I got there; see other reviews. Oh, ending up having the munchies so I also got a $1 bag of chips, lol. If you are following, you KNOW that my favorite breweries are ones where we can bring our own food, where they focus solely on making GREAT beer! Atmosphere - Decent size location, both indoor and outdoor seating. Events and food trucks, see website. Or my photo. Open 7 days a week, hours vary; see website. Wifi. Service - Cal is so professional and passionate about his job and beer! I believe he worked here for over 10 years. We had many different discussions on all the different beers they offer. I even eavesdropped on his beer conversations with the other patrons. Price - $18 + tip. Cost for good beer. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2023. Our local friends also recommended you, but that was after we already discovered you.

And therefore better (unless you be chillin in Belgium). That is not a compliment to be taken lightly. First American Saison that I actually want to fill up my growler with and don't care about the cost. That good. Pizza... I'm always sus about detroit style (allot of places precook the bread and therefore you are eating pizza toast). And for 28 bucks for a roni, I'd be a bit pissed. BUT. I actually dont know if they are doing that and franky don't care because I could not detect it (and I can usually tell being that I'm a bread baker). That being said, the bread is bomb as hell quite enjoyable. Even cold. So. It's worth the price. Or go spend the same or considerably more on some GIANT boring pizza somewhere else so you can eat leftovers for the rest of the week (or be in horrible pain from overeating). Your call. But worth it. Must try spot. House Saison. Done son #1.
