Don't let the facade of the bar intimidate you from going in. We're a fun group that like to drink heavy and load up on heavy pours. Just don't let Han take control of the jukebox or your life will be forever doomed by the Backstreet Boys.

So, me and 2 of my girlfriends went here this last Monday afternoon 10/14/24. We were here on a girls trip. We love dive bars and couldn't wait to hit some of the local bars in Santa Cruz. We drove by "The Jury Room" and thought....we have to go there. From the minute we walked in, the bartender had a huge attitude (his name was Emmitt) He was very cold and abrasive. We asked him his name and he told us "he doesn't do that, he doesn't care who we are and doesn't want to know us." Ok.......then he drops his cash drawer on the floor and flips out! He was so hot & cold, like he was bi-polar or drunk. We have all been in the bar industry for years and know that it is very important to keep a good attitude and welcoming vibe to those visiting your community. He was horrible! Should not be in the service industry EVER! So, we went to another bar (owned by the same owner) and had a fantastic experience! "The Jury Room' is a local "Punk Rock Bar" and don't seem to like outsiders. But "Brady's Yacht Club" was amazing! From the bartender to the locals Hopefully the owner sees this 🫶

Every time I'm lucky enough to visit S.C., a visit or two is mandatory for the support and service of a great establishment. F×@k yeah to the workers/staff who keep the place friendly and professional! If you're a dive-bar follower, this place is legit. Respect.

Love this neighborhood bar. It's got an outside patio, a pool table, reasonable drinks, and amazing bartenders. One of the best dive bars in Santa Cruz.

Love a good dive bar with reasonable drinks and casual atmosphere. There’s a pool table, good bar and booth seating, and solid drinks. Worth a stop if you’re into punk music and enjoy the

My friend had a 6am Bloody Mary that was like dinner and a show all in one. The bartender.. Melanie(? Pardon if memory failed me) was a gem and somehow personable at that horrid hour. There were regulars who told tales as charming as the classic movie playing on the TV's. I don't drink (but try a sprite/orange juice yum) and I would definitely frequent the Jury Room for my morning coffee and company.

Go here pretty often, definitely the most elite Santa Cruz bar as a 20 something who can appreciate low budget drinks and good vibes.I come through very often on Fridays and can high key appreciate seeing Paris. She is such a sweet and fun presence! ((We often come on Fridays to see her)) the jury room is my personal favorite bar. Always iconic. I would recommend coming here.
