Their drinks are delicious and the presentation is very thoughtful. The decor is striking and definitely picturesque. The owner made us feel welcomed and even made sure we were all able to find seating since it was such a busy night. I'm not sure where people are getting that she's not welcoming. I don't know her personally, but I always feel welcomed. We will definitely keep going!

We've visited East End Gastropub several times over the years and have always enjoyed the food and…read moredrinks, which is why this experience was so disappointing. Last Saturday night, my wife and I sat at the bar expecting the same level of service we've received in the past. There appeared to be only one bartender working. While the restaurant was steady, it wasn't overwhelmingly busy. We were served our first round of drinks, but after that we were completely forgotten about. For over 20 minutes, no one checked on us, asked if we'd like another drink, or even offered us water. Sitting directly at the bar, it was frustrating to feel ignored, especially when we were hoping to spend the evening enjoying a few drinks and dinner. Unfortunately, the lack of service left such a poor impression that we decided to leave. We've always enjoyed East End, which makes this review difficult to write, but customer service is a big part of the experience. Hopefully this was just an off night, but it was disappointing enough that we won't be returning anytime soon.

I got the green goddess salad and it was so fresh and the perfect amount of food for a light dinner. The dressing had a little zest to it too which I really liked.

It's a good balance with the cheese. And the poke!! Flavored wonderfully with sesame. Bbq Vegan seitan tacos were a new favorite. Salmon was a bit fishy but overall a good healthy blend. Service is always nice and it's a good wholesome vibe inside.

It did not hit me that the Santa Cruz location is the same one as the Pacifica location! I've…read morealways wanted to try the one in Pacifica, which is closer to me, and I like it! I am more of a Cider person, and I got to try their Mojito Cider, which I had never heard of before. It was SO good, yummy, and dangerous! haha. They have a good amount of beer and cider to choose from. I believe this location doesn't have food options the way Pacifica does, but the Fish and Chip truck right outside pairs perfectly with their drinks. Service was great. The lady who helped was very chill and nice. I also had a difficult time choosing what drink to pick, so I chickened out and said I didn't want anything. However, she asked me again if I'm sure, so I asked her for recommendations! We love a staff member who takes the time to go through options with customers instead of being annoyed!

It's no secret that Humble Sea is one of the best breweries in the area. From the beer, to the…read morevibes, to the friendly staff, it's a Santa Cruz classic. However, this was my first time using them as an event space for the night before our wedding. Really amazing experience. Very reasonably priced, and were extremely easy to work with. The Seacret garden was perfect for our use case (we had ~120 people), and served as a phenomenal venue. They provided a full bar area just for our event, and the staff were awesome to work with. There was plenty of seating, and we brought in two food vendors who were able to setup easily. My one complaint was that the A/V system was a bit broken throughout the event. Overall hugely impressed with them and my experience, very grateful!

Kelly Brewing is truly one of those places that works for any vibe -- group hang, date night,…read morefamily outing, or even a solo trip. It's locally family-owned and operated, and you can absolutely feel that welcoming, community energy the second you walk in. They've got a solid lineup of beers on tap with some house staples (Farmer Nelson IPA is my personal go-to) plus rotating options that keep things interesting -- we especially love the seasonal sours. They also have sodas and chips, plus their own craft root beer, which is a fun touch. There's always a food truck parked outside (except Mondays), and we've consistently had great meals to go with our drinks. The space itself is a win: bar seating with purse hooks, several large indoor tables, and a large outdoor patio. Inside you'll find two pool tables, shuffleboard, a video game area and board games. Outside there's ping pong, which makes it extra fun for groups and kids. They also have large restrooms with baby changing tables.

They even let us bring in pizza from down the street to enjoy with our drinks. There's plenty of seating both inside and outside, plus a cozy little couch area to hang out. In the back, they have a couple of pool tables if you want something to do while you sip. They're definitely dog‑friendly, too. One of the coolest touches is the artwork on the ceiling, inspired by the owner's favorite record albums. They were setting up the stage for live music while we were there, unfortunately, we had to leave before the show started. They host a lot of events, including food trucks, which is always a bonus. Their beer selection is wide, and they offer samples so you can find the right fit. I tried the Farmer Nelson Hazy IPA and really enjoyed it. Their pours come in UK pint sizes (20 oz), which is a nice surprise. My wife had the Go Nuts Cream Ale and loved her pick as well.
