Always enjoy Topa Topa. Friendly staff, fun spot to spend time with friends too. Lots of choices for drinks. Nice and clean.

Beer hopping didn't disappoint at TOPA TOPA, this brewery is airy with their high ceiling warehouse & local art displays on walls buy one or two! Service is friendly and fast they are Chill to the core. Parking is better if you walk here like we did lol. Tonight is TRIVIA night, we left because we didn't want to beat the young. It tends to fill up fast so grab your barstool in case you plan to plant yo' self! read more

My wife and I had the opportunity to stop here for a beer. We met Eleina (Sorry if spelled wrong), the bartender on duty. She was amazing with suggestions and conversation. It is a very beautiful spot. So airy. My wife had the Chief Peak beer and I had the Sunburst beer. We loved both. This beer spot is so nice. read more

Great service! Love coming to Topa Topa and also enjoying Foxx wine Company while eating the yummy food at the nook. Also love the bands that play there! One suggestion in the TVs are too darn small and we love to come there and watch sports bigger TVs, please please! read more

I have tried this beer at a brewery closer to home and never knew they were located in SB. So when we were in town, exploring the city, we passed by and knew we had to go try it out. Everyone working there on our visit was pretty cool and chill. We bonded with them over our love for breweries and also recommended some of our favorites to them which hopefully they will come to our side of town to get to know our beers. The brewery is huge and shares its location with a winery, Fox Wine, and an eatery, The Nook. There is so much seating and an outdoor patio to enjoy your drink and food. I ended up trying the Dos Topas Lager since I am not a fan of IPA. The beer was good and refreshing. Unfortunately, I did not get to try anything else, since it was a quick visit since I had my son with me. We have talked about going back to explore Santa Barbara's Funk Town so we will definitely be back to bar hop and visit Topa Topa again. See you in October! read more

Hazy beer was good, the vibes were good. Service was quick for a Friday night. Limited seating inside

My experience was very negative unfortunately and we will not be returning. Upon entering the woman behind the counter was very nice. Unfortunately after that our visit went very much downhill and I was quite disappointed with the entirety after that. read more

Great variety of options to drink. Ambiance was great. Bartender let us sneak in a few minutes before the stated opening time which was very nice of him. Overall highly recommend as a nice place to chill out with some friends and have a drink or two or five!!! read more

Beer: 4.5. Came by as part of my skate in SB. This place is connected to two other businesses (wine bar and bar). They have shared dining/drinking space. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I skated past it from the beach and had to turn around. Beer was good and the staff was helpful. The layout is comfortable and spacious especially outside. They have boardgames and other social games to keep you busy. Staff was efficient. They offer half pints but I forgot to ask how much they were compared to pints. Service: 3.75 Ambiance: 4 Value: 3.5 read more

Topa Topa is so much more than great beer (though their beer is fantastic). Each of their locations has such a welcoming and thoughtfully designed atmosphere--it's clear they care about creating a great experience for everyone. I especially love how community-focused they are, always hosting fun events and partnering with awesome food vendors. It's the perfect spot to grab a drink, connect with friends, and enjoy the vibe. Highly recommend! read more

Service was awesome, well placed with food options. Perfect spot to grab a beer after the beach.

Excellent spot for a cold craft brew and a conversation. Many options to choose from. Most enjoyed the KQ Express hoppy rice lager. Unusual brew, but light and tasty. Spacious seating inside and out. Can park bikes and bring dogs outside. read more

Fun brewery off the beaten path of state street My wife and I were visiting the Funk zone in Santa Barbara for the weekend. We were able to walk around and try several different wine tastings as well as breweries. We had a few on the list, and this didn't happen to be one of them, but while walking around the funk zone we saw the big opening to the brewery that felt very inviting so we decided to sit down for a drink. The beer here is great. They could get five stars alone for that. I highly suggest trying a flight, with different selections to see which one you like the best, and then grab a Crowler to take home! We decided on the Kolsh, which was one of my favorite beers I had all weekend. read more

My wife and I were staying in Carpinteria the month of January 2022 and every weekend, we would take the bus up to Santa Barbara. My wife found Topa Topa, which is right next door to an awesome beer bar that had a wonderful selection and had an attached restaurant to it, that had pretty good looking burgers. The facade is open, which was nice to enjoy the beautiful Santa Barbara weather, and they have a list of quite a few beers they make up on the wall. I ordered a solid IPA and the 2 female bartenders were super cool, I found out one of them was moving to New Orleans the next day. I would never leave Santa Barbara, but such is life. I ordered one more IPA and there is also an attached wine bar to the tap room. It is quite an eclectic use of not a huge space between all the owners here. The decor is super cool, and we enjoyed our two beers and chatting with the bartenders. A really fun hour or so. read more

I was down the street in the funk zone with a friend when suddenly we heard a live band...Lo and behold it was coming from Topa Topa! Came inside and we ordered some beers I ordered the chief peak which was so great! Light but still has good flavor to it. The woman helping us was super sweet as well and friendly. She directed us to the outdoor seating area where the band was playing. That place was PACKED. There was seating but when we first came out there was none available so we ended up standing on the side next to the planter that had a ledge. Eventually we saw a table open up and claimed it as fast as we could! Immaculate ambiance - it was so lively as there were girls rollerblading, dogs laying around, and people dancing. What a fantastic place to have fun. They have heaters outside so you don't get too cold as well. I ordered a second beer but by then it was even more packed and we waited about 20 minutes. I don't know if they have food. They might be connected to Nook just like lama dog because I did see some people with burgers and such but I wasn't told anything about it. ANYWAYS super fun place if you enjoy beer, music, and fun! read more

Topa Topa has the best beers in Santa Barbara unless Night lizard will ever make Nitro Gnatcatcher again? (Probably not...) Topa Topa has a rotating tap and every time I go in there I find something different and delicious. Excellent quality trained staff. There are three separate food establishments that you can get food from at or near Topa Topa within 50 feet. read more

Spacious, warehouse-type brewery in the heart of the Funk Zone, with good attached independent food options and indoor/outdoor seating. Excellent selection of quality beers with tasting options and efficient staff. Funk Zone crawler crowd can get a bit loud IMO; fine if that's your thing. Other options around town if you are looking for a cozier brew experience. read more

Amazing spot not too far from the beach. Visited from out of town but believe it's around the Funk Zone area. Super friendly bartenders and awesome brews on taps. Limited merch selection but pretty cool gear to grab before heading back on the road! read more

Topa Topa is a brewery that I've wanted to visit in person for over a year now. I found out about them at a few of the Surf n Suds beer festivals in Ventura county, and have had them on my bookmarks since then. Recently I headed over to the Funk Zone in Santa Barbara (an area right before the beginning of downtown Santa Barbara's State St.) to check out some places on my girls Axxess card, Topa Topa has a buy one get one free coupon. First and foremost their beers are amazing, out of he five beers I tried I didn't have a single complaint. Very smooth and well balanced beers. The inside has a cool set up with a nice small outdoor seating area, inside/next door is a Llama Dog where you can get food (but you can't bring you Topa Topa beer over). I don't recall seeing any board games like a lot of other breweries had, but it's still a really cool brewery to hangout in. Even though I've only beer here once I've got to say Topa Topa is near the top with the best overall beers at a brewery that I've hand in Santa Barbara so far. The Nitro Milk Stout & Chief Peak IPA we're mind blowingly good. read more

Nice place to come try their craft brews! Enjoyed the open atmosphere, dogs welcome inside or out! If you want food, walk next door to Lama Dog Tap Room and order takeout which you can bring over to enjoy with your beers. Varietal selection of brews, opted for their Chief Peak IPA and Level Line Pale Ale. IPA was hoppy good and pale ale smooth, two different tastes but both satisfying! Check out Topa Topa if you want to relax for a quick beer with friends or with your favorite dog friends! Enjoy! read more

One of the better breweries in Santa Barbara. We came here Monday around 4:30pm. They have a good variety of beers and they were pretty good. They have indoor seating but the walls are open on one side of the wall so it felt Covid safe. Very aired out. They have nitro milk stout, Ipas, Pale Ales, Kolsch, Lager. We got to sample some beers before commiting to pints. Parking is on the street or the small parking lot with 2 hour limit. read more

Had my eyes set on Topa Topa Brewing for a while. So, on our next stop to the cool Funk Zone in Santa Barbara, we made sure to have a beer break from all the activities. Topa Topa is named after the cool mountains of Ojai, pretty romantic in my book. The brewery is situated in a funky industrial complex that also hosts the Nook (you can get food from them and bring it inside the brewery), Lama Dog and other cool vendors: a wine bar, local artists that sell jewelry, artwork, photos, pottery, etc. It's a big space, fun to explore. We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon, they had a band playing, the place was booming, had to improvise some seating area for us. But it's a great place to chill, people come to relax here, enjoy a beer, some bring their dogs inside as well. We each got a Cali Common, kinda amber beer, very good, crisp, cold ($7). You can do beer tasting, as well. Topa Topa is very fun, lively with locals, who are here to chill or to grab a beer on the way to something else. If somebody in your party is not a beer person, there's a wine bar next door, so everyone can be happy. You can shop for a cool souvenir, browse, enjoy the cool vendors around. There are restrooms near by. This place is one of a kind, with its indoor-outdoors setting, you can feel the breeze, see folks hanging outside, enjoy the palm trees blowing in the wind. Just sit, have a beer and enjoy the view. read more

I had their Chief Peak IPA on the Condor Express and was happy to discover that they are located close to the harbor. I loved the open air atmosphere and the friendly service. There were a number of interesting draft options and a convenient food area in the same building. A great lunch spot! read more

Stopped in for a quick visit to try some local beers. The beers were good. Tried a flight of 4 beers. Tux Milk stout was better than I expected. Weekend session IPA was my favorite of the four. Solitude series single hop IPA was decently good. Howler coffee IPA was not bad. Place is in a converted warehouse with no sign out front or at least I could see. Place was extremely crowded but service was good. I found an open space at the counter and staff was quick and efficient. Read the board well as I picked a beer only available as a bottle for my flight. Nice selection of beer. The building shares space with other businesses but you are not allowed to take your drinks elsewhere or bring drinks from the neighboring businesses. I think you can get food next door as their menu was posted inside the Topa Topa. Beer was worth the stop but not the crowds on this particular visit. Place was just to busy to enjoy. read more

Enjoyable beer drinking experience with an open wall to the street allowing plenty of fresh air. I tried a few IPAs beyond the Chief Peak which is more widely distributed. There were several good food options available from pizza to burgers, etc within the same building. Bartender was very friendly and knowledgable. read more

Topa Topa makes delicious brew. Chief Peak was an early entry in the kind of flavorful IPAs that rightfully dominate the market. It's a delicious blend of bitterness and fruity that makes one question early life decisions to drink Milwaukee's best or Natural Light, though to be fair, did we have a choice? Not really. Nowadays we do, and this wide open patio with friendly service is pretty outstanding. Now that they don't have to trick you into buying food with their ridiculous "voucher" system, it's even better. The service is pretty good, the vibe is casual but fun, and they have options for beer or wine from whoever it is their partnering with. This is a great spot in the funk zone for folks that like beer. read more

Popped in here for a couple hours after walking around in the sun for awhile and in desperate need of refreshment. The staff were friendly, and attentive, making recommendations when asked. I never felt rushed and still felt welcome even when things began to get busy. It's a clean and open place, very comfortable, letting in a breeze with lots of natural light. While I didn't sit outside, it featured a nice large patio as well. Next time I need a beer in Santa Barbara, I'll be heading back here. read more
