What really makes it worth going to, though, is the convenience and the service. The staff is always friendly and on top of things, which goes a long way. It's also right next to their sister sports bar, Rounding Third, which makes it an easy spot to grab food before or after a drink. The whole setup just works. I'm a fan and will definitely be coming back.

Oh boy the amount of times I have been inebriated here.

This is a great bar and there's just no way around that. The drinks are tough, the vibes are immaculate, the bartenders have teeth and the regulars are absolutely bananas. I love it here. It's probably the only bar you can roll into by yourself as a woman and feel comfortable. As if things couldn't get any better, there's a treasure of a human in there who spins vinyl on Friday nights (maybe Saturdays also, but don't quote me) and you really shouldn't miss that experience. Thank you Imperial and staff for your phenomenal service. You've truly cultivated something wonderful.

What an amazing hidden gem in Goleta!…read more While visiting the town, we were looking for a lounge walking distance from our hotel. We found this cool spot via yelp. A for atmosphere. You are transformed into a tiki/tropical/ vintage/bohemian not sure what to call it atmosphere. Super mellow and chill. We sat at a corner couch across from the bar. Comfy and relaxing, and dim lighting. Drink menu was diverse. Great selection. From cocktails to all types of alcohol. With an average price range of $15. Bartender knew his craft. All drinks ordered were great! C for service. The service dept needs some help, and I get it, with one person serving 15+ people. It is impossible to provide a5 star service. Initially service was great with a smile when we first arrived @ 6 pm. But soon after the bar became super busy. The wait was 20-30 minutes for an order. It was time to leave. We asked for our check and it came non-itemized. If it was 2 or 4 drinks that would be fine, but we were party of 3 with over 10 drinks. Then we had to wait again after asking for an itemized check. Waiter stated they need to hand write as their "machine" was not working. That took more time than needed. Ahhhhhh.... Ah well.. you can't get it all. Hence the 3.5 stars. I recommend, to sit at the bar and maybe pay cash to avoid hurdles I experienced.

It has a great central location that's still got a tucked-away feel and ample seating and there were a lot of other friendly patrons and dogs there. The staff was friendly and polite and the beer was great. I didn't get to spend a ton of time here, but it's definitely on the list of places to visit again!

Because the bartender the other night was grumpy and grumped at me three times times in like half an hour. Once for ordering food at eight thirty when the kitchen closed at nine. Then for scanning the place with my smartphone. Third, for telling him about a woman from the east coast, who was visiting California for the first time Is that an act? Is that California country attitude pointed at a city dude? Should their slogan be "We put the hostility in hospitality?" The French Dip sandwich was good anyway. Curious about the Tex Pistols anyway.
