This bar has long been a downtown Santa Cruz favorite, and it’s easy to see why it’s stood the test of time. The drinks are consistently well made, the prices are fair, and the bartenders really know their craft—they can mix just about anything you ask for. There’s a classic, reliable vibe that keeps people coming back again and again. If you’re looking for one of the best spots in town to grab a drink and enjoy great service, this place never lets you down.

I've never bothered trying to get food here, but for drinks and local punk and metal shows this is the spot! Also great for LGBT themed events!

Some girls spilled my best friends drink while she was in the restroom and the bartenders blamed my friend and said that we’re cut off. I told them politely if my friend could get a new one and they said. “no you’re cut off”& took a picture of me! My friend left a tip and we were being nice.They treated us very badly probably cause we were the only latinos there and they didn’t treat the other people that way the ones that dropped my friends drink. Never coming back worse experience at a bar.

Bartenders give great service, friendly vibes.
When I’m not stopping by randomly to say hi on a week day. There every Sunday for goth night, @::THE BOX::

Love this bar. The bartenders are all amazing. My only criticism is that it’s the straightest gay bar I’ve ever been to. Would love a proper gay bar in SC. Loads of potential. Not gay enough.
