Laura tends bar here but she shouldn't be. So rude and dismissive.

Place is amazing and the guy that owns the place rocks!!! If you're in Santa Cruz and need a good spot for drinks The Castaways is your spot!

Why did it take me this years old to realize what amazing tiki drinks Castaways has?!?! I strongly feel this is the most underrated bar in town. $12 gets me a Mai Tai that is hands-down the best (arguably over the ones in Hawaii) and is made with high-quality rums and fresh lime juice - no crappy fillers where I'm hung over the next day. Easy going vibe, rad bartenders, pool tables, music & won't break the bank. Great hidden secret and has been my spot since I had my first drink there 8 months ago. Also recommended: piranha for 2 (or one :))

Nice tiki themed bar with a solid tiki cocktail menu. Drinks were good. We happened to be there on Wednesday night when they were serving hot wings. The wings were delicious, with my favorite being the jerk chicken. Great night

Really friendly bartenders, cool music system

Clean, laidback spot with excellent service from the bartender. There's pool tables, darts, and a small couch lounge area as well. Not sure why it's rated so low
I haven't had any food but the staff is friendly and the ambience is on point! Also the price is good! Definitely recommend

Super cool dive bar! Cheap well drinks, friendly locals, and two pool tables. The waitress was very friendly as well!

One of my favorite bars on the east side! Two pool tables, great drinks, and amazing bartenders. The wings are flames if you catch them on a night they have them, and Amanda is a true gem of a bartender.

Jennifer is a good nugget, and a fun bartender.
