Lots of great beer, wine, and cocktail choices. Really enjoyed their Frozen Mango Margarita, and the husband enjoyed his Old Fashioned. Would love to come back and try some of their beers on tap. Love the wide open seating inside, and even saw a couple dogs. Happy to have another place on my list that I can visit with my doggo! They also had a little restaurant (Nook) you could order food at. A bit over-priced, but the food was good. Lobster Mac & Cheese was a little short on the lobster but was overall tasty. We came during a weekday afternoon and had no problems finding street parking. Overall, a great choice to just relax and enjoy a drink. read more

First stop of the day.! What a cool place with a great vibe and friendly staff! Lots of beer on tab and in cans and bottles. We opted for a lama dog pale ale and a Russian river IPA. Both solid beers! We split a turkey burger & fries and the burger was great but bun was very stale, fries were delicious! Will definitely be back, know they show alot of the games there with several tv's. Nice outdoor seating too! read more

Lama Dog is amazing! I love this location in the Funk Zone. They have so many good beers on draft and in bottles and cans for onsite consumption or takeaway. This place is super casual. You can grab a spot at the bar or sit at one of the other tables. The attached restaurant has some really good food too, so you can get some grub to go with your brews. This is a must-stop for craft beer lovers! read more

One Saturday afternoon some friends and I came here as an after party spot and I was hooked. It was my first time there and I loved that you can go up to the window and get your food so it's not like a place where my group of friends would all order and somebody got stuck with the bill. Everybody took care of self! lol The large table setup made it possible for us to all sit around and hop around essentially playing musical chairs since we were such a social bunch. And the food, Cheeseburger and sweet potato fries were so good and such a great portion that I had half there and the rest for lunch the next day. Hummers! I didn't get any drinks but they have cider on tap so I'm def gonna get that the next time! read more

Lama Dog Tap Room - Cheeseburger done to perfection and the most yummy sweet potato fries I've had in a minute! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Great place to take your dog and grab a bite to eat. I like being able to order from the nook and grabbing a drink from llama dog to enjoy my meal. The service today was really good. The bartender kept checking up on this and making sure we're OK. I didn't drink, but my wife did. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Lama Dog is a cool place to catch a game. It's spacious and airy, and they have a wide variety of beers on tap as well as to take home. There's a small food window located inside but they were on their lunch break during our visit so we didn't get to try it out, but we'll be back. read more

Great atmosphere, great selection of drinks, and they have a variety of appetizers and plate options to choose from. I tried their Mahi Mahi tacos, which were 20 dollars. The fish portion was generous, but I do wish there was more sauce. I also tried both of their kombuchas on tap - the POG and the Strawberry Lemonade. They were delicious and worth the $10 dollars per pint. Staff were friendly and attentive. A great place to meet up with friends for a drink and some food. read more

Wanted a casual late dinner in the funk zone with our pup. There was plenty of room on the outdoor patio and they gave our puppy a treat and fresh water. I had a giant bowl of lobster Mac and cheese and my husband had the Reuben. Both were delicious and just what we wanted. Next time, we'll have to try some beers. Adding to our list of dog friendly spots in Santa Barbara. read more

I decided to stop by here for drinks and quick bite. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. I love how they are dog friendly.

We stopped by Lama dog when visiting Santa Barbara (it was highly recommended by a friend that went to college in the area). It was a Friday afternoon and was the perfect afternoon pit stop. It was walking distance from the beach, so we were able to come straight from a beach day. There was a huge variety of food (all of which was AMAZING -- we split a burger, fried cauliflower, and loaded tots) and the beer was refreshing and well priced. There was a variety of people there (some working remote, others with friends, and a few like us who had just come in from the beach). It was a really relaxing / laid back vibe (and best of all, pups allowed!!) We'll be going back any time we're in the area. :) read more

I recently visited Lama Dog Tap Room & Bottle Shop, and had the best time! I haven't been here in awhile. The ambiance is casual, and you have the option to sit outside in their cozy patio, or inside at the bar or communal tables. There are plenty of TV's available for the sports fanatics as well. This place is located in the Funk Zone, and a little hidden gem you can find at the end of Santa Barbara St., walking towards the beach. This is a very dog friendly environment, so bring your fur babies if you have any. They offer 20 revolving craft beers on tap, along with 4 varieties of local wine also on tap. There's also a walk-in fridge filled with endless craft beers, seltzers, and kombucha beer. Bottles of wine can also be purchased here, but just keep in mind that they do charge $2 extra corkage fee. I was surprised to be charged $2 just to have my can opened! That's a little ridiculous, and I would have much rather put that money towards a tip. But wait, there's more! If you're paying with a card here, then just be aware that a $15 charge will temporarily be held on it. I wasn't aware of this, and asked the waitress about it after I seen the extra charge posted to my account. I like the convenience of being able to order food from The Nook, who shares this space with Lama Dog. They have a great variety of food to choose from and they always serve delicious meals. Customer service was friendly and attentive. Overall, a great spot to check out solo, with your dog, or with a group. read more

5 stars because the mango margarita slushy. Deliciously lined with a tajin rim. They were also playing the dodger game on the inside. The service was fast and kind. read more

I really love the whole vibe of this entire place, which is located within the Funk Zone in SB. We love that they serve food, are dog friendly, and have so many amazing beers on tap. I have been using a lama dog taproom glass for years, and came back to refresh my inventory. They're also connected to a wine bar and TOPA TOPA brewing next door, which means you can really have many different experiences at all once. They have large TVs for sports if you want to get together to watch your favorite teams, and the food goes so incredibly well with the beers (sandwiches, tots!) Oh and did I mention dog friendly? All the bartenders have snacks for the fur babies! read more

We love that they have Pliny the Elder on tap! I got a small pour of Cali creamin and it tasted off. The server was really kind, the space itself is great. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to stop off here, but it's great to check out if you happen to be in the area already. read more

Great selection of beer! Nice flavors for everyone. Cute ambiance and super fun with the people who work there. Fun little spot on Santa Barbara. Everyone is super knowledgeable about the beer on tap so there is something for everyone. Have been here a few times when visiting Santa Barbara. Love their beers! They even have a great N/A for someone who wants to enjoy a beer with the group without the alcohol. read more

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience. We waited over 10 minutes at the bar while other people were being helped that arrived after us. When we were finally helped, Nick, the bartender, was so loud about "educating" us how Lama Dog operates. Instead of providing welcoming customer service, he made sure everyone heard his rhetoric. Based on this experience, I would NOT recommend Lama Dog to anyone in town. There are far better options nearby with attentive and friendly service, such as Validation, Biergarten, or Rincon. I'd strongly suggest choosing one of those instead. read more

So glad we had a long wait at another mainstream restaurant by the waterfront and was walking and checking other spots a bit away from the Main Street and came across Lama Dog Tap room. From outside it looks like a converted warehouse, and very unassuming entrance. You walk in to the open space and order at the window. They had a great selection of meat, seafood, chicken and vegetarian options. We ordered a couple of burgers, halibut tostada, Mac n cheese and a salmon salad. Two in the party opted for beer and the selection of the beer was amazing as well. Many drinkers at the bar inside and about 10-15 bar tables and chairs were placed in the narrow alleyway next to the main bar section. The burgers were juicy and tasted amazing, loved the Mac n cheese and it came in generous portion, the halibut tostada was just amazing and hit the right spot. Halibut was probably my most favorite but can't discount the other entrees as everyone was very pleased with their choices of entrees. If in town, definitely give them a try, we really loved the experience. read more

Pretty cool brewery for dog-lovers and dog-parents! I ordered a pilsner and I believe my husband ordered a cider. Definitely refreshing on a warm day in Santa Barbara. We also shared some fries which definitely hit the spot! Would definitely want to try other snacks if we ever come back. The bartender that helped me was pretty friendly. Definitely offered multiple tastings but I knew what I liked as soon as he gave me the pilsner they had. I ordered the beer but they also had to card my husband who was sitting at the table with our dog so I had to run and grab his ID just for him to have a beer! No inconvenience at all. Definitely a cool place to chill at, I especially loved the outdoor seating. Would definitely come back ! read more

Lama Dog Tap Room is one of my favorite spots in the Funk Zone! They constantly rotate beers from breweries and have something new every time. They also have a huge fridge in the back with a wide selection of bottled beers from around the world! They also have an on-site diner, The Nook, which has a great food menu from burgers, sandwiches and an awesome lobster mac n' cheese! The staff is awesome and they go out of their way to quickly serve the customers and are friendly at the same time. They also do a great job of providing recommendations on what's on tap. Next time you're in The Funk Zone drop in to Lama Dog and i guarantee you'll love it! read more

We were spending the weekend in SB and are always looking for places with good food and beer. Lama Dog has two locations - and we were the one near the beach. Cool vibe and good food. If you have Pliny on tap you already have a lot going for you. They had Everywhere on tap which is amazing. They had a great bottle/can selection. The food was above average for a beer bar. We hand the Lobster Mac, the pork belly quesadilla, and wings. All were great, but I wouldn't come for the food if I wasn't here for the beer! read more

Lama Dog Tap Room + Bottle Shop in Santa Barbara, California, is a must-visit spot for craft beer enthusiasts. The place has a relaxed and friendly vibe. You might even spot a cute dog sitting under a table! I loved it here and wish we lived in the area to take full advantage what they have to offer. They have a cute outdoor area as well. They even have slushie drinks which I'm a huge fan of so when I saw this I was over excited. These icy concoctions are perfect for warm Santa Barbara days. Whether you're a beer lover or prefer wine, the slushies add a fun twist to your visit. So, grab a seat, sip on a slushie or grab a beer, and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere! You can also grab food at the Nook which inside. Amazing food! My mouth is drooling thinking about how good their burgers were. I'll write a review for them too! read more

I'm really into Sour Beers and it's often hard to find a place that has even one or two options. I've been here twice and it seems that this place has the widest beer selection in Santa Barbara. They have food on site as well and it all looked really good. I didn't eat either time I visited but I definitely plan on eating here next time. I will certainly return in the future. Staff was super friendly! read more

If I had to pick just one establishment to frequent for the rest of my days in Santa Barbara, I wouldn't hesitate to choose Lama Dog. With a frequently rotated, wide selection of beverages on tap and a wall of fully stocked fridges, there is a beverage for everyone. The bartenders will make you feel like family. The indoor-outdoor space is filled with incredible people and a massive selection of great drinks. The space is dynamic, and great for meeting friends, working, or just grabbing a drink. read more

I like this spot for their beer selection and close proximity to all the cute Santa Barbara stores and wine shops. The bar tender shared that they have both west coast and east coast IPAs! I'm an IPA lover and it's new knowledge for me that there is a difference of hop bitterness based on the region. There is also a window in the bar that you can order food at! read more

On a crowded Saturday, I found my way with no problems through the crowd of customers. Everyone was friendly and bubbly I was at lama to join a few people and some more company for chit-chat "hello how are you doing" This was My first time being here at lama dog I noticed how diverse the crowd was.. I guess to make this more interesting... I'm not a beer drinker.. And I decided to have a beer.. Uh-oh I asked a random person that was in company with me To pick a beer based on some random questions... I ended up with some ipa that had bright floral notes, and skittles somewhere thrown in the mix The beer was interesting, and spiritually moved me to discuss alcohol like a pro.. Captivating the crowd, I realized I thought I was a pro.. And that only Long story short..... I had a damn good time! And if you show up with your friends I expect the same for you too!! I'm definitely coming back to try food next time. read more

This place was towards the top on our list to check out. You're able to get wine, beer, AND food. Our server was great and made some recommendations for our friends that were a little picky with their beer. The wine selection is pretty solid and their fridges had so many options for beer that we were able to grab for when we headed out. If you're with a group that has some people not interested in wine, this is your place to go. read more

Such a cool spot. There are so many options to choose from with drinks and with food. I really love how they have the drinks numbered to make life so easy for the bartenders. The amount of drink options you have to be able to take home a customizable six pack is pretty remarkable. Secondly they also have a significant wine selection for people who aren't to crazy on the craft beer. As well as a solid selection of hard kombucha. I did not order food here but did glance at the menu and it is extremely comprehensive and saw a couple people around me get food. Would recommend stopping in to grab a drink read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant after a day at the zoo and it was just perfect. Family friendly and the food and drinks did not disappoint. The staff was friendly and the ambiance was laid back.
