Lovely experience here. Had the Platinum Flight and sat by the fire inside. Was cozy. Only downside is they didn’t have charcuterie available.

Stopped by with my dog for a glass of wine today. Bella recommended the perfect cab. Water was provided for the non-human. Great atmosphere. Will be back.

Cute spot to get a drink. A large menu of multiple wineries. I saw they have beer on tap also.Sunday you can get a cupcake and sparkling wine tasting. We tried that and the rose flight. The pairing of cupcakes and sparkling was surprisingly good. I was afraid it would be too sweet but I was pleasantly surprised at how well it all worked together.

Tried to go on a Friday night. Hours say open until 9PM, but when we walked in at 8:15PM the bartender yelled that they were closed.

Great experience. Wish there was more interaction and or info about parings. There should be an option to pair with wine. Vs just getting the plate of cheese.

One of the things I appreciate the most about this place is the variety of wines. While I do enjoy wineries that produce their own wine, I often find visiting those tasting rooms to be a little stale after a couple of trips. Cork’s on the other hand doesn’t make any of their own wine but instead showcases wine from all around the world. The selection frequently changes with a variety of tasting flights to choose from.The location is a little “funky” but that makes sense considering it lives in the funk zone. Relatively small with variety of seating areas including a bar, indoor tables, and both indoor outdoor fireplaces this place is an interesting spot to have some wine and people watch.It can get quite busy on the weekends, particularly if the weather is nice. And, at times it can even get a little rowdy when it’s packed (though I would never consider it unsafe). Located about a half a block from the ocean, this is a good location to stop in if you’re in the area and want some wine. The location frequently has live music in the afternoons.Also notable: they have a variety of beers on tap and in cans so if your entire party doesn’t want wine it’s another reason to stop here.Much like the rest of the area, parking is relatively slim. If you’re open to paying just a little for parking, I recommend the public lots either along Cabrillo (the beach) or the public lot on the corner of Garden St. and Cabrillo. If you opt for the Garden lot, there’s a pass-through into the back of Brass Bear that you can walk through to get to Anacapa Street so you don’t have to walk all the way around.Parking: Busy area with limited parking.

Love the music here! The wine is nice, and the seating is nice and cozy. They have a wood fireplace in the corner with couches to snuggle up on.
Really enjoyed our time there with Owner and staff. Great wine...great attitude....great ambiance. Must visit amongst the Funk Zone!!!

Corks n Crown is a different experience than a lot of the tasting rooms in the funk zone. They have both wine and beers to choose from. The staff is always knowledgeable and provide good recommendations. There is a good sized menu so you have lots of options to choose from. The space itself is really cute. Fire places, couches, bar stools and outdoor seating. It can get crowded but if you get a seat you are in for a treat!

One of our very favorite wine bars in Santa Barbara - we come here almost every time we come to town. Great vibe inside; comfy chairs, fireplace, and cool balconies. Often great live music. Great wines at a variety of price points, for tasting, by the glass or bottle. Often really good live music, too. Totally recommend!

This This tasting room offers an extensive array of CA wines and a selection of others alongside an extensive craft beer menu. It's a great destination for both wine enthusiasts and beer aficionados to enjoy together. Additionally, they have a lovely outdoor patio area where you can relax and savor your drinks in the open air. This is a great location in the funk zone to hop from one place to the next. Parking is sometimes an issue. I would probably take and Uber or Lyft.Parking: Take and Uber or Lyft

Cute little wine bar in Funk Zone. The people are amazing! The service is great! This was our second time visiting this cute little quaint and eclectic place. It is on our list to visit every time we visit Santa Barbara! We sat out on the patio and met some great people. Everyone is so friendly and talk about a great spot to people watch! The flight of Rosé was delicious. The interior is very cute and eclectic very fitting for Funk Zone!
