I'm giving an honest review as a person that's actively trying to make this place a better place and a better cocktail lounge. Most of the people that go there are good people. It's a mixed bag, you may find people you vibe with, and you may find people you don't like so much, but the common thread is respect. As long as you have respect for others, you will always be welcome there. Go on in there, have a cocktail, say hi to a stranger. Play some music on the TouchTunes. Play some pool or foosball, shoot some darts. Let's all make DLVL a place to chill and have new experiences, and make new connections. With love. The 1 star is cause they don't have food. Lol

I walked in and sat down. Four people at the bar. Bartender (lady) was talking with another customer. That's fine, no 'welcome', no 'I'll be with you in a moment'. That's fine it is what it is. She continues talking I'm sitting at the bar for about 10 minutes. I start to try and get her attention but it seems her conversation is more important. I decided at this point to leave and instead of a 'have a good evening' I got a dirty look. I got there early compared to the 15 other people I was bringing so I decided that there was no reason to waste there time coming there. We went to Tiburon Tavern instead. It was way better. No point wasting your time going here. I have been here 10-15 time in the past and there has always been an issue.

Friendly little dive bar. Right across the street from handlebar on de la vine. Hence the name! The bartenders are very nice and it only takes a few visits to be seen as a regular. Most of the people there are pretty funny. Pricing is solid and it’s a pretty comfortable place. I’m a big fan of the music and plenty booze free beverages if you’re the DD. This is an unexpected nice gem.

Excellent neighborhood bar. Katie is an awesome bartender. Great prices, friendly patrons. We were only in town for a short time but they made us feel like regulars.
Jared Poole
Horrible service. Bartender was extremely rude and we left without a drink.

My favorite place to drink, watch TV, chat, and play the Jukebox! ☺️ Pool table is fun,oh and the bathroom is clean. the owner Mike and every bartender is fantastic at what he or she does; and the beer selection, liquor selection (*Dobel) and drinks are awesomely made! ? Great company
Best Dive bar in Santa Barbara! Way above excellent friendly home town service, they go out of the way to make you happy! And ever..one is really happy because this place has the best vibes! Check it out because you won't be disappointed!! =)The staff truly cares about their patrons local & non-local. Hard to find these days!! Just remodeled and the cleanest bar per inspectors for you Oc'drs.....This bar takes pride as it's locally owned! Support your small businesses! I would've taken pictures but I was having too much fun chatting with the friendly folks =)
