Tasty selection of draft beers and beers in a fridge to go as well. Also ate the torta and tacos here and they were delicious and came out very fast. Really hit the spot. It was so good we went back two nights in a row.

Great vibe with ample space to hang out and a solid variety of beer. Their food is pretty specific so won't float everyone's vibe but they have enough to feed the majority.

We love this place for dinner after a day at the boardwalk. Beer, tacos and shuffleboard in a relaxed counter service atmosphere. Highly recommend!Kid-friendliness: They have awesome grilled cheese and the kids are entertained by the shuffleboard while the adults finish our beers.

Great beers on tap or bottles and cans. Great food to pair with what you're drinking. And trivia from 7 to 9 on the first Thursday of the month. Nice spot to grab a beer with friends.

We enjoyed the vegan tacos, very tasty and good portions! And we shared a salad. Draft beers added to our happiness. Service was good and friendly. Recommended and we'll be back.

Friendly neighborhood taphouse. If we lived in Santa Cruz, this would be our regular.

We had a lovely lunch here on Monday while on a day trip to Santa Cruz. Perfect timing to avoid a midday rain shower. A really nice staff member took our orders at the bar and served us. The large space is decorated with nice art on the walls. I found the choice in music a bit loud and not to my taste, but it wasn't off putting. I had the cochinita pibil tacos. My partner had the arugula salad with added chicken. Both were large portions. Both were very tasty. One of the reasons for choosing this spot was their beer menu. I had the Night Will Fall stout from Irban Roots in Sacramento. I liked it a lot. Both of us would definitely make a repeat visit if we were ever back in SC.

The vegan options were amazing! We got the vegan tacos and the vegan torta (added the house vegan meat). The fingerling potatoes were good, the vegan aioli was okay. A good selection of beer, i always opt for sour or ciders (: 1/2024 update: the vegan tortas (add vegan meat) and vegan tacos are DELICIOUS! SO GOOD! So flavorful, my picky husband didn't even notice eating the pickled red onion and the purple cabbage. The best vegan options in town. Updated from previous review on 2024-01-13
