Good wine, good beer. It's nice that they have the beer flight option for those who aren't wanting wine. We have been here several times over the past 2+ years and they are always packed. There is nice patio space to be able to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful Santa Barbara weather. Biggest complaint is they charge a $10 corkage fee it you prefer to buy a bottle to enjoy at the location instead of a flight? Why would they charge an extra $10 when I am drinking their own bottle of wine at their own location? Service is usually friendly and efficient. Nothing super special, but nothing to complain about. All in all there are many other tasting rooms I would recommend in the funk zone first, but if you're walking by it you might as well swing in and do a tasting. read more

Let me start my saying we were greeted immediately...cute dogs everywhere...no one was in a rush...they were done giving tastings yet I was still tasting...currently am still tasting! Oh and what you are more curious about is the wine is great! Don't read too much into the negative reviews.... :-) come visit! read more

Reserved Corks for a milestone birthday party with 30+ friends. Maddie and Ben were amazing! BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!! Unsurpassed level of service and willingness to do whatever they could to ensure the party was a success. I highly recommend for that special occasion you may have coming up. Or just for a glass, a flight or a pint any day! read more

The wine tasting was fine but I'm very disappointed with their customer service. I did $8 wine tasting and got charged $15 by mistake. The bartender voided the transaction right away and charged me $8. But in a couple of days I've noticed that $15 are still missing. I had to call them two times and each time I've been told it takes ~10 business days for money to come back. Well, I did wine tasting on the 25th of March. Do the math yourself. Don't think I'm coming back. read more

Mmmmm, we did the rosé flight and it was delicious. They have lots of yummy wine options. It's cheap and the atmosphere is very fun, with a cute patio and indoor seating as well. I loved this place. We jumped to a couple different wine tasting rooms but this one was our favorite and we wished we had stayed there the whole time. They even have some board/card games to entertain you. I will be back here if I'm ever in the area again. thank you to the girl who works here who was friendly, gave us a great size pour :) read more

Do the brew not the wine. Fun casual atmosphere, dog friendly and they wave the tasting fee if buy a six pack. Beer is just as good as any other microbrew! read more

I had such a great experience here! My friend took me here for my first experience wine tasting. We had the white wine and the rosé flights and they were both so great. I preferred the rosé simply because of the sweetness. I think David was the name of the guy who served us and he was very nice. He chatted with us the whole time and made for a very pleasant experience. Definitely don't just settle for the options they have listed! We asked about their white wine and rosé flights and they ended up being great. This place is a must try! read more

Great wine and beer available for purchase, good vibes, a nice place for both wine and beer fans alike.

This was such a fun, enchanting wine bar to spend some time in. This would be a great place to come with some girlfriends or a date (or really, anyone!). The tasting room is super cute. My in-laws and I each had a flight of reds. I loved that the wines come with a description and the name; so often I forget what I had to drink and am not able to really compare flavors, so this was really fun! I wish I were local, but we get up to Santa Barbara at least a couple times a year so I'll definitely be back. I was bummed I didn't get to try a cupcake flight- next time for sure! They also had some games, so my husband and mother-in-law played jenga in the corner (how cute is that?). read more

Very interesting layout - one wall is the bar and wine racks, the rest is vacuous, empty space - ostensibly for stumbling around in after flight #3. The gal behind the counter was thoughtful and friendly. She even gave me little cracker sticks when I asked if they had snacks! The flights and the wine racks are arranged by the point system, which is rockin' if you like that kind of thing. Overall, though, you're going to get a casual experience backed by solid knowledge and well-chosen wineries. read more

One of our stops along the Urban Wine Trail, and by far the best looking. The atmosphere was good, the service was okay, but the sparkling moscato was amazing!! We got two flights of beer to taste at $7 each and sat outside on the porch to enjoy the nice day. It was a Tuesday day, and the place was very slow so we would have expected the bartender to be a little more friendly and inviting, but I digress. We didn't particularly love any of the brews, but we saw a sign on the chalkboard menu advertising sparkling moscato, so my girlfriend had to try. She loved it! We ended up leaving with a bottle! I would like to return for another bottle of that spectacular sparkling moscato, but I'd skip any of the tastings here and go elsewhere for that. read more

Corks n' Crowns - Beer flight and sparkling moscato (best I've ever had) - Wine Bars Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

I took my husband here for wine tasting for his birthday. I was super disappointed that none of the staff seemed interested in telling us anything about the wines we tasted. The cheese plate was great and the wine was good but there was no service. Disappointed. read more

Super cool tasting room in the Funk Zone in SB. Staff is friendly, and it's a nice setting with the fireplace and some comfy chairs.

This is the place to be for socializing on weekends. Always an interesting crowd and plenty of eye candy to boot. I love the eccentric selection of wine. So far I've enjoyed most of the flight tastings. The only one I haven't enjoyed is the German flight. Take it from me, stick with German beers. Don't bother with German wine! Other than that, I think the different types of wine and beers Corks n' Crowns provides is what sets this wine bar apart from the rest. They definitely have the best in international variety. It's different and I like that. Also, the management and service is stellar. read more

Great wine, awesome ambiance, only problem- this place gets packed. Once it's packed, you tend to wait 30 minutes between pours, which sucks....not to mention, theres only one bathroom, and it's impossible to get to, since there is usually a line of 20+ ppl. on the weekends waiting for it. All in all, one of the better tasting rooms in the area, read more

after wine tasting at municipal winemakers around the corner (more for me), the bf wanted to do beer tasting here. $5 for the beer flight, where this month we tried 4 types of CA beers... if you buy a 6-pack for $12, your tasting is free... so we took advantage of basically the $7 6-pack. staff was really friendly and i liked the decor. i wish they had stools around the bar because my feet were tired from walking up and down state st. :) they said they have different tastings every month, so might be good to come by with friends the next time we're in sb! read more

Got into Santa Barbara and went here for some drinks. Was a little disappointed they close so early, so we didn't get a chance to order any flights of beer or wine but did get to have beer from the bottle which wasn't bad. Would love to come back here earlier in time to taste everything else on their menu read more

This tasting room was recommended, cool scene but terribly aloof and pretentious. Poured the wines and never came back and out of 2 flights only 2 wines were local! What's the point of coming here? Had such better experiences pretty much everywhere else!!! And the wines were not good, local or otherwise! read more

Great staff that caters and assist you with your questions. Good ambiance and it's our first time here. They even have cupcake flights. Great place for winery tasting read more

This place is great for coming in with friends to get a flight of wine or beer. There are plenty of options and it's in such a fun area. If you are local and like wine I would suggest becoming a wine member because they have great deals on tasting and bottles. Love this place! read more

The winery itself is very cute and fun! The wine was ok, we didn't get much information on them, but gathered our own assumptions based on taste. The girls working were focused on specific customers who had large transactions and didn't pay any attention to others. We decided to sit outside and had our tasting, returned our glasses, paid and just left without any other purchase or discussion with them. We did meet locals there that were so incredibly sweet and talkative with us, that made up for the lack of service from the actual winery. It's right up the street from the beach and is fun for pictures. read more

Ok tasting room. Didn't have a couple Of the wine flights available since it wasn't Thur-Sun. Service was not that great. We came in at opening time and no one else was in there except a wine distributor. The staff immediately went over to him and dealt with him, leaving us to taste the beer and wine by ourselves without any extra explanations. Nothing spectacular. Might try checking it out on the weekends, but if service was bad when no one else was in there, I couldn't imagine when it gets busy! read more

One of my favorite wine bars and best wine club ever! OK the Bar, great staff, knowledgeable (they make sure the employees have tried and know about the wines) and friendly. Normally great flights with champagne and beer flights to satisfy even a picky group. Lots of fun events to go to, and they pair up with local food trucks on the reg for pairings. Wine Club, fantastic wines shipped monthly- join the platinum- you wont be sorry. You get 4 free tasting each visit and you can do local pickup of your shipment if you live in the area. All in all, a little gem of a wine bar in the heart of the funk zone. It can be a little crowded on weekends and impossible to hear in there when the bachelorette party season is in full swing which is my only complaint! read more

LOVE THIS SPOT - Great wine variety, atmosphere, and service! I don't review a lot of places on here, given human nature of complaints being so inspirational to most people.. But reading through some of the reviews, knowing the employees, and working in the service industry myself - I had to show them the love they deserve. Fun tastings and events here too! I've done the highly recommended Diamond flight of Napa Valley wines; and the Chilean flight which was also really good. Great spot for a casual glass with friends! read more

This is my favorite wine tasting bar in SB! The staff is AWESOME.. the wine is from all over the world from small production facilities which makes every offering incredibly special. Check it out and sit by the in door fire place... it's quite romantic! read more

We yelp checked in and got a free pour. Nice place, nice bartenders and affordable. Very similar to other places.

The environment and selection of wines is always a hit here. This is definitely a must-do spot if you're having a day trip in the Funk Zone. The outside deck is a nice bonus if you wan't to enjoy the beautiful Santa Barbara weather. Friendly staff, clean set up, and very fair prices. read more

Stood there with a group of 5 & nobody acknowledged us for 10 mins. I don't tolerate shitty service, so we walked out & went somewhere else.

I love corks. The wine-tenders are all lovely and give great recommendations. They are friendly and always on top of it, even when they get crazy busy on the weekends. I have been a member here for about 7 months and love the perks - I can bring three friends in for a free flight anytime! I enjoy coming early on weekday afternoons and sitting by the wood burning stove inside, or outside on the deck in the sunshine depending on the weather. Highly recommend! read more

Awesome place!!! Staff was super friendly and informative. The wines... amazing! We loved every pour. Celebrating our 32 anniversary so we got the Diamond (of course) and the Platinum read more

Great vibe. Came here with my daughter and her husband and had a great time. The crowd is young and old, loud and quiet, and there's room for everyone read more

We were looking at the menu when we were informed that last call was 4 minutes ago. Umm we were in your building 4 minutes ago but thanks for letting us know. Couldn't have been ruder. Surprise--you have competition and service is everything. We will not be returning. read more

The nice little gem in Santa Barbara is one that my fiance and I always go to while visiting for a fun time. Always with very friendly staff and with an assortment of wine that is so much more vast then the other wineries around the area. Definitely a place I will continue to go to that I highly recommend. read more

Loved this place. Great wine selection and friendly bartenders. It was nice that we had the option to sample white, red and sparkling wines as well as beer. It can get a bit crowded and be careful because it closes early. It looked like there might have been some food/snack options but we weren't offered anything and didn't feel like asking around. Overall, we had a great time. Would definitely recommend it. read more

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon Corks n' Crowns while walking around the funk zone and I'm so happy we stopped in! It was definitely the place to be on a Saturday afternoon. It was really lively inside with good music and people having a fun time! We walked up to the bar area and we were greeted and helped right away. The girl working there took the time to explain everything they had to offer and we decided to start out sharing the flavored beer flight! It was only $7 for the whole tasting and the pours were really generous for a flight! The flight included watermelon beer, cider, vanilla beer, and coffee beer. Our favorite was the cider and watermelon but we enjoyed tasting everything! By the end of the tasting we had to run to catch our concert but I know we'll be back another day to try everything else they have to offer! Our experience here was overall really fun but a couple things were not perfect. They only have one bathroom that's shared for men and women so the line was soooo long. Also, it was really really stuffy inside which isn't too comfortable especially when you're drinking. Those things were a bit annoying but wouldn't stop me from coming back! read more

Enjoyable place to catch up with friends. They have good selection of wine and some beers. We were there for a quick drink before checking into hotel. We both had the lime planet beer, I had mine Michelada style... Yum! Why? It was made with pickle juice not tomato juice! Different and delicious! read more

I've come back! The customer service Nick offered personally convinced me to give them a second try and I'm super satisfied thus far---they really do find great small production wines! read more

This place is a gem. My favorite spot in the funk zone to hang out, especially on a Sunday afternoon. Sip on a glass of wine or try a beer sampler- whatever you are in the mood for! They have both, unlike most wine tasting spots around there. If it's a chilly day, warm up by the cozy fireplace and relax by the lounge area... or if it's a warm day you can people watch on the wrap-around porch in the front. Corks and Crowns is a classy, friendly place for locals and visitors alike. And they are dog friendly. Did I mention they also have cupcake pairings for your sweet tooth? So decadent and tasty... I think I'll head over there now... read more
