Every time I go into this place it smells so bad it ruins my mood and there’s always garbage on the floor…

If I could give zero stars I would. My daughter went here with a friend. After her drink being spiked she felt nauseous and went to the bathroom. As she was throwing up, the bouncers pulled her from the bathroom and threw her in the back alley. She came to the front to make it to her friends, but they would not let her in.She said her wallet and phone were with her friend and they still did not let her. She asked them to get her an Uber and twice they said they would but didn’t. She sat on the curb until three in the morning.A taxi came by and asked if she needed a ride. She got in. The man drove away from her house down unknown streets and began to assault her. She pleaded for him to stop. He wouldn’t, she clawed at his face and threw herself out of the moving car. Then she ran to her apartment.Meanwhile her friends left the club looking for her on the streets. The club bouncer would not tell the friends where she had gone (the alley! From the bouncer). They got in their car to find her, and got a dui.I’ve left a message with the manager and not received a phone call. We’ve also filed a police report, and plan on filing a civil suit. Do not visit this bar.

Stay away! Extremely disrespectful and unprofessional staff. I came here as a DD for a group of women. A random man ahead in line tells security he's paying the cover charge for the women I'm with but not me then points at me and says "I don't know him, don't let him in". The short Mexican guard got obnoxiously aggressive with me when I walked up and told me to leave the line before I could speak or get my ID. It wasn't a dress code violation or anything I did. As disrespectful as he was putting his hands on my arm and telling me to leave, I stayed cool and explained, "You just let my girl and my group in without me. I'm their ride so they're leaving too". I could still see my girl from the door who didn't know I'm being hassled outside 20 feet behind her. I called her name twice from the door(never went in) and the guard grabbed me by my neck then another employee came out and blindly defended the guard like I'm some rowdy animal that needed to be removed. It was very obvious this guy knew the guard personally and wanted to isolate me from the women by weaponizing security. Do not come here!

I’m giving it two stars because the bartender who helped us out was great! However, one of the security guards just grabbed our drinks as we were talking and threw them away without saying anything. They were both halfway full and the space in the back was pretty empty, so I don’t understand why he would throw our drinks away which were clearly not finished.

Chill with the fog machine!The area is too small with too little ventilation to be having a fog machine running non-effin-stop. The oxygen displacement is real.Besides that, the patio area outside is nice and the staff is pretty upbeat. I'd go more often if it weren't for the smog machine.

I was here with my friend from 10-close in the back at paradise - we'd had no issue for the entire tire time and everything was great until someone in the group (there's one communal couch) got sick. It was approaching close so we asked to help clean up (which was greatly appreciated by Danny & few other male staff) and then was further yelled at (by Jocelyn, and then the inside security with short hair and no facial hair, about 6'1, Latino) who then called me a stupid bitch (twice) and had to be called out by HIS coworkers to leave. furthermore was continually insulted by staff because it was closing time which we were aware of, we were asked to help so we were doing what we could. Watch your cameras, ask your staff, I also have tons of witnesseses loI. I've always had so much fun at indo and there has NEVER been any problems untilYour own staff made one, I've been coming here for years and your security will back me up. you need to re evaluate certain staff. I dont care if you work there, you don't speak to people that way - especially a woman.

Never been here before and I was quite content with the vibes. Workers were very chatty and cool and the photo machine was a college students dream. Drinks were served efficiently! #Indo #buzzybooth

Indo has such a friendly staff and is such a fun place to dance and take pictures with the photo booth!! I love bringing my friends there, we start there and end there every weekend.

Fantastic time with a great vibe and strong drinks. A nice way to start and/or end your night. If you need (almost) anything, just ask.

Indochine is one of the most authentic, and unique locations in Santa Barbara. Amazing out door seating area with fire pits and heat lamps during the cold months. Great quality service. A definite must if you're spending a weekend in SB.

I attended an event here on Saturday night. The management and staff setup a great space for us and provided excellent service throughout the night. The back patio was the perfect atmosphere for our crew.
