First time here (recommended by son who loves). Found out they are closing this week. So sad not sure why.

This is by far my favorite hangout spot in Santa Barbara. I spend a lot of time in SB for work, and I tend to stop by this place for lunch, a beer, and free Wi-Fi. They have an entirely plant based menu. Their vegan version of the crunch wrap supreme is to die for! Make sure to ask for the habanero sauce on the side. They also have happy hour from 3-6 weekdays and certain pints are $2 off. The overall vibe is super chill, and dog friendly! Highly recommend.

Such a great vibe there! I absolutely love Modern Times beer! I have been such a fan since my first Orderville and have followed deep into Monster's Park: Mexican hot chocolate edition! Mostly IPAs and barrel-aged stouts but everything is awesome. The vibe here is amazing and can't wait to come back, the staff is very friendly but...I must say, the girl working the gift shop in the brown plaid was seriously the sweetest! So friendly and so helpful. If everyone had employees like her, their business would be much more successful. She was very personable and relatable and also had great selections to offer. She even gave me good advice on a hoodie and also a "road-soda" to take with me! Her words were, "the ethereal embrace is fun to say and such a great treat at the end of a shift." She was absolutely right! What a treat to sip, on the way back to OC. This location needs to do what they can to keep her around because she is EXACTLY why people return to places like this. Not just because of the environment but because of the people who make the environment great! I unfortunately didn't catch her name but she is a keeper! Thank you again for such a great experience during my first time at a Modern Times location, you're what makes these places great, I thank you.

The Quick: INSANELY amazing food and awesome beer (lots of sours which we love). Get the munchwrap supreme ... Similar to a Tb favorite but plant based. Everyone who's been here has had trust issues after trying to vegan food... No one believes it's plant based. It's delicious, creative and sooo indulgent. Enjoy yourself!

Lots of good things to drink here! Definitely worth exploring the menu and options if you enjoy various boozy delights.Sometimes you can walk through the...was it Cuban?... restaurant on State to access MT but if they are closed you will have to walk down the alley by the Drunken Crab to get there

I love everything about this place! The vibe is so fun, the staff is super friendly, there is a beverage to suit everyone, you can get 5, 8, or 16oz pours, the food menu is so great, it’s so clean and Covid-mindful. I love it!!

Best beers in town. Great vegan food and outdoor patio space as well. The staff is very knowledgeable about beers. The interior decor is really nice too.

Great beers, wide range of styles, and delicious vegan food. Even as a non-vegan.
Oh my goodness This place freaking rocks ! Tasty Vegan food, amazing selection of beers and wine as well. Friendly staff and wheelchair accessibility made the experience even better.

Okay, first of all I ain't no vegan. But my daughter is. So we went here. And the place is freaking awesome. Everything I ate was incredible, you will be full, it feels like you're eating a regular meal and the food is fantastic! It's all plant-based, the beers are fantastic and the place looks really cool. There's a mural on the wall made of utensil it's one of the most creative things I think I've ever seen. (Not drunk I swear)

Modern times is always fun. This was my first time at the SB location. Great indoor / outdoor space. You will be hard pressed to find a more diverse but high quality taplist in California. In terms of IPAs Stouts they are fantastic. Sours, pilsners / light beers, etc are also very solid. In terms of sours they had a variety of types including barrel aged fruiteds, gose, Berliners, grisettes, etc. Their stouts were the most memorable.
Sarasvati Oliveira
Their food is absolutely phenomenal. Rich, super tasty and with lots of layers of amazing flavor. I wish I could give it 10 stars instead of 5! Service was very friendly as well.
