Institution Ale Co. is a craft brewery in Santa Barbara that offers amazing beers and delicious food. The staff is very friendly, welcoming, and professional, making every visit enjoyable. The pretzel remains a must-try item on the menu, and even those who aren't fans of pretzels will appreciate it. The mushroom pizza is also great. With a great selection of beers, especially West Coast IPAs like The Surgeon, and tasty options like Carne Asada pizza with thin crispy crust, this spot is perfect for beer enthusiasts and pizza lovers alike. The prices are pretty reasonable, and the brewery is one of a few in Santa Barbara that stays open late. The kitchen is open Monday through Saturday until 9pm and Sunday until 8pm, with lunch pizza and pint available Monday through Thursday until 2pm for $14. The beer garden is an excellent location for events like Wedding Parties and Rehearsal Dinners, featuring wonderful food, drinks, and attentive service. Trivia night is also a fun way to spend an evening on their comfortable patio. A highly recommended spot on State Street!
