I was visiting from out of town, the vibe walking into this place was not friendly. I inquired…read moreabout a couple of wines on the menu, I assume the person helping me was the owner, they were very condescending, not welcoming and definitely not helpful. My niece who had just turned 21 had left her ID at home, we completely understood and did not expect to be served as we would never ask a business to compromise their license. However the way we were treated was horrible. We went home grabbed my niece's ID and took our business to El Viñero down the road. The wines at El Viñero are delicious, local and the staff was so friendly!

Living in this area I know this place won't be for everyone but if you just want a chill fun time then stop by and grab a drink. Prices are in line with other places around here. They do not offer tastings so be aware of that but they are pretty open to letting you taste before committing to a bottle or glass!

Exceptional mixed drinks- I'd especially recommend the Black Manhattan, the Expresso Martini, and…read morethe Smokey Old Fashioned. To give an idea of how much we like these, we stayed at the hotel for a few nights so we could drink a few extra rather than drive. I used to get to NYC and LA a lot, and particularly when Tim is bartending you are definitely getting drinks that would be competitive in a major city's better coctail bar. The other bartenders are also solid (e.g., some of us preferred Lorene's Espresso Martini and Dennis down in the Barrel Room is great but does drinks with a different style/mixers). The food is also quite tasty now. We were there in winter 2024 when there was some kind of big turnover on the kitchen area, and it had been hit-or-miss. New kitchen for 2025 does well on bar staples (e.g., burgers, sliders). The fish and chips is also pretty great: I'm a hard grader on fish, but everyone realy enjoyed them: light, crispy breading that goes great with lemon. For kids, the popcorn maker was a huge hit, though they could use one or two more kid-friendly entrees. Service is friendly, with good decorum (e.g., fine to have plenty of drinks, but pretty obviously not a place to get wild). As there is often only one bartender on duty, I usually just ordered up at the bar and they'll take it to you. Happy hour was 3-5 PM, daily I think- a few bucks off of drinks and most (all?) food half-price. Overall, had a great time. We'd definitely get back again.

We usually get at least one drink here when we stay at the Santa Maria Inn. When I stopped in for…read moretheir terrific happy hour (daily from 3:00-5:00), I had the most wonderful service from Lorene the bartender. She was busy with a crowd of regulars but you'd never know it from her positive and super pro attitude with me. She made me an excellent espresso martini ($9 happy hour price) and brought it over to me at my seat. The room itself was expanded some years ago but the original design was by a very famous designer of the 1940s who also worked on Hearst Castle and the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel. You can guess where the original footprint was expanded as there are several historic photos of the room hanging on the walls. If you sit near the fireplace or in one of the old booths, you can still imagine you're imbibing in the 1940s pub-like tavern of 80+ years ago. The food menu looks incredible and the happy hour specials extend to food as well. The nighttime bartender wasn't quite as charming but he was friendly enough when I returned later for an after dinner Fernet Branca ($16.00 for a non-happy hour double). You can take your drink to your room if you prefer. I would like to return for another happy hour and try the food.

The bartenders were very knowledgeable with their bar and local wine selections. We enjoyed what seemed to be the bartender's music selection.

Only negative was that as the result of the pandemic they were short staff. We noticed that wait staff were pulling double duty in the bar and in the separate restaurant area.

They don't serve food, but they welcome you to bring your own, and there's a food truck plus restaurants right across the street, so you're covered. The real highlight was the bartender. My husband described what he looks for in a beer and without missing a beat, he recommended two perfect picks -- Peaches and The Able. Both were spot on. That kind of attentive, knowledgeable service is rare and it made the whole experience. My husband loved it so much that we stopped back on our way home to grab a growler and a 4-pack to bring to his dad. That says it all. We'll absolutely be back.

Warning: this hotel is listed under Santa Barbara on Priceline. It is not in Santa Barbara. It is…read morein Orcutt, a long drive away. That misleading listing is what caused me to book in the first place. When I discovered the error, I called to cancel. I asked three times whether a refund would be approved. Three times I was told yes, the manager would take care of it the next day. Don't worry, it's fine. So I trusted them. The next morning: denied. No refund. No explanation. No accountability. Because I trusted their word, I lost the window to just bite the bullet and make the hour drive to and from family. I had to book a second hotel out of pocket, stretching my budget in a way that was genuinely costly. All because a staff member couldn't simply say "I don't know" instead of giving me false assurances to get off the phone. This isn't a miscommunication. It's a lack of integrity. Do not rely on anything you're told verbally here and think twice before booking at all.
