The Test Pilot in Santa Barbara is a cool and mellow bar with a great atmosphere. The bartenders are attentive and creative, understanding flavor profiles and making great recommendations. The drinks, like the ube pina colada, Purple Mai Tai, and Oaxan Dead, are amazing and made from scratch, never too sweet. The small space offers seating inside and outside. It's a fun, upscale but relaxed tiki bar hidden in the Funk Zone, a must for locals and tourists. The menu features a variety of tropical drinks, including a signature cocktail crafted with care and a delicious flavor profile. Customers praise the well-balanced drinks, the cute interior, and the more local vibe compared to State Street. Highly recommended for those looking for a unique and enjoyable drinking experience in Santa Barbara.
