    Truly a real cocktail bar. Sean and Cassandra really made some home run cocktails on the menu. Anything on the menu is incredible. The Caje on the Weekend (espresso martini) was recommended to me by another bar and I’ve never looked back. It’s my favorite and my go to. I really love this spot and always enjoy coming here.

    My favorite bar in the central cost. Best cocktails in the game, the atmosphere is comfortable with good upbeat music. The staff’s really the thing though. Husband and wife owner operator who are legit the coolest ppl in the industry. They always remember your name and treat you like a friend. Hard rec.

    This was such a treat! I'm sure there are other "speak easy" bars in Santa Barbara, but this is the first I've heard of and have been to. This bar is located inside what is a coffee house during the day. You have to go around the back through other establishments to find the red lit entrance. The vibe inside is very cool and the drinks were delicious! All of the drinks had clever names (very entertaining). I will be here again soon, I'm sure!

    Lab Social is a nice little bar. We tried it for drinks recently and it made for a nice evening out. The drinks were good if not a touch on the expensive side. The flatbread pizza was good. The pork butt tacos OK. The seating is cosy. And they had good music the night we visited. The seating area is intimate and comfortable. It seemed like all the employees were pretty hip. That expression dates me, I know. We will return to Lab Social.

    Drinks were good. The atmosphere was cool. But the main thing I want to talk about was that cheeseboard. So they have these picked chillies that came with the board and me loving spice I ate one by itself. I was hit with a briney spicy shock. I was taken back a bit and told my table to try it. They were all turned off. However I tried it as intended in combination with a sweet element, one of the cheeses and a cracker and it was one of the best things I ever tasted. I tried to get other people to try and only succeeded in getting my friend to try and he loved it too. However I didn't mind they didn't eat because more for me. So in short get that cheese board but make sure you eat that chili in combination with the other elements on the plate. You will be taken on a funky tasty adventure with just one bite.

    Had a great time! The drinks were delicious, staff was super friendly. There were quite a few doggos inside which I thought was cool.

    Really enjoyed the drinks here. Creative cocktails as well as classics with a fun twist are all on the menu. We really enjoyed them, and the ambiance is also quite cozy.

    Had some delicious cocktails last night. Love the atmosphere and the music too. Looking forward to coming back for more

    It’s a fine place to drink. The vibe is a little outdated, like all the bartenders wearing formal vests feels very early 2010s. I like the dark interior and the outdoor seating is nice. It’s not loud, which is a plus in a bar.

    My Husband and I just moved to Santa Barbara from the East Coast. We are big fans of Caje coffee and this spot has a wonderful coffee mocktail program in the morning. We went here shortly after arriving and fell in love with their “LSD” cocktail. It’s amazing. We always try other cocktails when we come, but always circle back to the LSD cocktail. Tonight we got food as well … the food was absolutely fantastic. This is quickly becoming our favorite spot in SB. The staff is amazing and the service is top notch! Our server today even recognized us when we sat in our usual spot. 10/10 Love
