“Coffee cold brew matcha at the best prices.”

Aléxien Sévère★★★★★

A rare gem in Santa Barbara. A friendly bar with billiards and a smoker's terrace. Very good beers and a charming atmosphere, a bit out of time. The staff is friendly and helpful. For a real change of scenery, it is a place not to be missed.

The only place chess is played over days or weeks. Credit cards, no thank you. Roots mixed in with structural elements in the patio, yes please. Conversations about anything and everything are possible. Vapes are forbidden and camel cigarettes required. You’re not sure if the pool players have been keeping score but they’ve been there all night. Weird, cool, hip, rare these days. Stay awesome Elsies.

A hidden gem in Santa Barbara, off the beaten path, super- funky dive, great little bar in the front and a charming back patio for groups and birthdays and where the bad kids smoke. Pool table, couches, secluded tables and good music. A must visit.
