This is one of my favorite bars in SB. Such a cool place. It's a great place to hang out and grab some drinks. Bring cash though, no credit cards. They also have a pool table which is a nice feature. And plenty of couches. Lots of couches. The back patio is really nice as well. Never have tried the food. Parking can be a little slim on de la guerra, but try and find something on one of the neighborhood side streets if you can. The bartenders are very friendly. And if you don't drink they have plenty of non-alcoholic options.

It's a former motorcycle shop that was turned into a bar. Hipster crowd. They have a pool table with a few arcade games. Coffee house from the 90s meets a bar basically.

The best lil freak show of a bar around.The best people run the joint and they hire the best!It's got a chill indoor seating area with couches and a competitive (free) pool table. Additional outdoor seating really completes the vibe of the place.Cash only, but an atm in the front is there if you need.
Eclectic decor, murals, oddball bartenders playing vinyl, jokey clientele, overgrown plants, back patio, matches, ashtrays, pinball, pop tarts, pool table.

One of the finest establishments in Santa Barbara. Off the beaten path and tucked away Elsie’s offers an intimate and eclectic bar experience far from the sb normative. Come for a drink, stay for the art and ambiance ?

The ambience is incredible. The lighting is dim, but you can still see around pretty good. The beers on tap are amazing, and I hear that they have coffee in the morning time which I'm gonna have to try. Had a few drinks here last night and was very impressed with the overall setting, you enter a really cozy room that's decorated in chic antiques, they even have plants hanging from the ceiling in the middle where the pool table is, I just love the fact that there's also a patio in the back, so if you're a tobacco smoker or just like having fresh air with your drinks this place is the cutest little go to hole in the wall bar. My new favorite:) a little crowded, but what bar isn't? Great vibes.
