“Fast Eddie's is hands-down one of the best pool halls I've been to! The tables are in excellent condition — perfectly leveled, smooth felt, and a joy to play on whether you're a casual player or take your game seriously. It really makes a difference when the equipment is well maintained. The staff here deserve a huge shoutout too. Everyone is friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming, always ready to help out or answer questions. It creates such a warm, laid-back atmosphere that makes you want to stick around. Overall, a fantastic spot with great tables, great service, and a great vibe. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun night of pool!”

“Went here last week after work, and sat at the bar. Bartender was a charismatic young man with an empathetic presence. He comforted my friend who was grieving his recently passed mother. I ordered fries and they were decent. Definitely hot. Thanks Chili's in Capitola, I'm sure I'll be back.”

“Just put in one of my under water fountain lights in Monty's patio area. Check it out at night. So nice to have a waterfall in the outside area. I will be adding other color effect lights at Monty's in the future. Time to do a Tiki Night at Monty's Log Cabin in Felton. Bring on the tropical rom drinks and tiki music!”

“This bar has a great atmosphere, some of the best pool in Santa Cruz, and the new owner and staff have done a killer job curating a truly welcoming space. They have plenty of drinks, tables, & dart boards to play on, as well as tvs to watch sports games, and there are tournament nights for both pool and darts :) I almost didn't want to leave a review to keep this gem to myself but if you're in the area, and like a chill dive where no one fights and you can actually hear your friends & play some games, definitely check it out”

“As a musician playing the part of Jack Bruce, the bass player of Cream, we had a great experience on stage. The lighting was perfect. The atmosphere was over the top and the audience was a very participating dancing audience. A great place to make new friends.

“We went in for a daytime drink while in town. Yes, it's a locals dive bar and clearly lots of regulars, but we were warmly welcomed by them all and were chatting away after a few drinks. As with most places, you don't have to be a regular to fit in, you just have to be a nice person. We will come by next time we're in SC!”

“Visiting SC from Michigan and came across Suda. Glad we did. Looked like it had a good vibe from the outside so we went in and sat at the bar where we had drinks. What fun! The bartender, Max, was slammed but never stopped smiling. We had fun watching him and talking with him. He knows his drinks! So much fun we came back for dinner another night. Max came over to our table to welcome us back! The drinks and food were really good! We’ll definitely be back next visit to SC. Hopefully, Max, will be there too!”

“Such a neat place! We really enjoyed this spot. Service and drinks! Their house drink menu is very unique and fun! Definitely recommend if you're visiting Santa Cruz! The entrance is around the back of motiv off pearl alley but if it's after 9:30p you'll need to go to motiv first to get stamped anyways.”

“Kitchen staff leaves PROMPTLY at 10pm so dont expect any food or dessert after 10. Additionally, the internet states the establishment closes at 11pm. Although the staff (they told us) has been told repeatedly that the closing time is incorrect, no one has bothered to correct it. Wait staff is lackadaisical. They did not communicate last call on cocktails or offer dessert prior to kitchen close.”
