The Good Lion is a popular spot on State Street, next to the Granada Theater, known for its exceptional hospitality and great cocktails. The bartenders are attentive and provide outstanding service, guiding guests through both on and off menu drinks. The menu features seasonal drinks, including gin cocktails, with a creative seasonal menu and a classic option available. With both indoor and outdoor seating, it offers a cozy, dimly lit environment with an almost speak-easy vibe, making it ideal for people watching and enjoying a well-made cocktail. The atmosphere can become crowded during peak times due to its smaller size, but overall, it remains a top choice for visitors and locals alike. Happy hour starts at 5, making it a perfect spot to unwind after work or before dinner. The drinks are reasonably priced, and many appreciate the friendly staff and quality experience, whether for a date night, meet-up with friends, or simply relaxing in downtown Santa Barbara.
