Elsies Tavern - Santa Barbara

This is one of my top bars in Santa Barbara. Remember to bring cash as they do not accept credit cards.

I would give this restaurant 5 stars if it were accessible for people with disabilities. Rating may change.

I love this bar in Santa Barbara! It's a really cool spot to relax and enjoy some drinks. Just remember to bring cash, as they only accept that form of payment. They also have a pool table and lots of comfy couches to hang out on. The back patio is a nice area to sit as well. I haven't tried the food here, but the bartenders are friendly and they offer plenty of non-alcoholic options too. Parking can be a bit tough on De La Guerra Street, so try to find a spot on one of the nearby side streets.Overall, it's a great place to unwind and have a good time.

One of the only ungentrified gems left in SB. One of the only queer spaces in SB. The local watering hole that will always have amazing records playing, good conversation, and an aesthetic that can't be beat by the sterile bars downtown.

Amazing spot that's just off the main drag in Santa Barbara. If you're looking for somewhere that is unpretentious, a great place to hang out, and has a wide selection of beers then this is the place for you!
