Awesome Tiki bar. Super fun cocktails 🍹 with fantastic presentation.
Stopped by for a quick drink, and was blown away by the atmosphere and the variety in the cocktail menu.
I had the Millennium Falcon Fizz and was met with a really refreshing drink that had a perfect balance of spirit, sweetness, and bitterness. The only nit picky thing I can say is the presentation wasn’t like a traditional fizz with plenty of foam on the top that kinda goes above the glass. That just me being picky though, the drink was amazing and was presented nicely.

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.
