Customer service was bad, a bartender that definitely didn't look like he wanted to be there. I went on a Saturday afternoon about 4pm. I ordered a whiskey sour, he put it together fine until he presented it to me and then it spilled all over the place. He saw this and didn't clean it up and just gave me my tab. I had to wipe the mess up and leave with my drink.

This is one of my favorite places for cocktails in all of Santa Cruz County. All the drinks are so yummy, and the evolving menu keeps things fresh. The mixologists are experts at their craft. It's a popular spot so sometimes there's a bit of a wait, but it's worth the wait!

Great cocktails! High recommendation! Hand crafted Ginger Beer and Tonic Waters. Order a Moscow Mule and a gin and tonic from the menu.

One of the employees tried to write themselves a bigger tip on the credit card receipt after I generously tipped them with cash! Absolutely unacceptable! Will not be coming back as I cannot trust this establishment. PS Management you're impossible to reach when you shouldn't be. Please get your bartenders in line!

Came here for the seasonal Dole whip drink! It was not very busy but there was only one bartender serving patrons. The bartender was doing her best but it took a really long time to get the one drink we

Drinks were tasty and strong, vibes were just right, friendly bartender, and dope music playing. This made for a great night here at this bar. We were in town and wanted to stop somewhere for some cocktails and stumbled upon this place by accident. Their cocktail menu has a huge variety, and something for everyone. Will definitely be back again!

The bloody marries are delicious, if your out in Santa Cruze this is a must. The bar tender was cool, and there's plenty of food selections to choose from. Do it bruh
Best bar in Santa Cruz. Fantastic cocktails, great service, good location. It's a bar, what else you want??

Felt the need to post this review because of the low rating here. Drinks- top notch. The best we've had in Santa Cruz. Super unique ingredients and recipes. Really committed to the craft here. Vibe- located in the Abbott Square market, the small bar is really a nice place to relax with a drink. The fact that you can go and grab some food right nearby is pretty great too. Service- Johnny was our bartender and did a great job. Tho on the quiet side he was aware of when we needed a refill and was there to supply. Overall will definitely be back the next time we're in the area. We tried the Da Coco, Papi Churro, Smoke on the water and the clarified milk punch cocktail. Each one blew us away.

The bartenders are so kind here and helpful in finding a drink that matches what you're looking for. I am a huge fan of the juicy juicy and must admit -- it is my favorite cocktail in Santa Cruz -- it is so sweet and refreshing. Recommend it for those who want a pick me up drink and it is always a great atmosphere at Abbott Square!

Busy local eatery with variety of food and drinks. Had the Saint Adarius IPA and it was refreshing, citrusy and great for hot day out. Bartender was friendly. No beer flights are available but you can get a shot worth.

I've never been told I’m too pretty to drink Fernet, but when I was here, it made sense and I realised really important things about myself. Fantastic service, liquor, liquor-based cocktails, and ambiance. It's just too bad it's open to the public, it'd be better at some underground techno club.
