“Little known gem of a brewery in the Funk Zone. We have been a patron to to Rincon Brew in Carpinteria and Ventura many many times but this was our first going to RB in the Funk Zone. We had a great experience with the new staff there. There is a very nice menu that compliments whatever beverage you decide to partake in. 5 stars for service, beverage and food!“

“What a treat! This restaurant was conveniently located near our hotel, and we’re so glad we stopped by. The pistachio-crusted salmon was absolutely amazing—cooked to perfection and now my favorite type of crusted fish!

My husband had the smashburger and really enjoyed it. Just a heads-up: the burger doesn’t come with a side, so be sure to order one.

Their happy hour drinks were fantastic—strong margaritas and great deals! Our waiter was awesome, and the service overall was excellent. Bonus points for being super dog-friendly—they even have a dog menu! Highly recommend this spot for a great meal and atmosphere!“
