    If I could give zero stars I would. My daughter went here with a friend. After her drink being spiked she felt nauseous and went to the bathroom. As she was throwing up, the bouncers pulled her from the bathroom and threw her in the back alley. She came to the front to make it to her friends, but they would not let her in. She said her wallet and phone were with her friend and they still did not let her. She asked them to get her an Uber and twice they said they would but didn’t. She sat on the curb until three in the morning. A taxi came by and asked if she needed a ride. She got in. The man drove away from her house down unknown streets and began to assault her. She pleaded for him to stop. He wouldn’t, she clawed at his face and threw herself out of the moving car. Then she ran to her apartment. Meanwhile her friends left the club looking for her on the streets. The club bouncer would not tell the friends where she had gone (the alley! From the bouncer). I’ve left a message with the manager and not received a phone call. We’ve also filed a police report, and plan on filing a civil suit. Do not visit this bar.

    Wowza, Indochine has really stepped up the game! Live DJs every weekend, drinks flowing, kind and approachable workers. Definitely a must-see stop on a night out in Santa Barbara. Nelson and his team give an incredible memorable experience that may leave you a lil hungover but with fond memories of your weekend!

    Indochine is nothing short of pure insanity. Beware: this club and bar get a little crazy but you’ll never walk away regretting your experience here. Dancing in the window makes for some good memories. Also bring earplugs. You will have hearing loss if you don’t haha.

    Jocelyn was epic. The place just went through a remodel and it is fabulous. The bottle service is intrinsic! Call ahead and they’ll prep for your great night!

    Went in for happy hour, nelson did a great job with the remodel. Place looked great. Whole staff is amazing. Nelson is the second fastest bartender I’ve ever seen. Almost blew my mind. Definitely will be stopping in on the weekends to hangout.

    If you're looking for a calm mellow night out, this is not the place for you, Indochine has been one of my favorite, if not my favorite nightclub on State street for the past decade, EVERY single time I've come here(it's been ALOT) has been unforgettable, this place not only has the best staff, best drinks and best music, they have the best dance floor, don't believe me? Pass by the big window on a busy night. This place for sure passes the vibe check. Do yourself a favor and check it out. While your there make sure to say hi to the GM Nelson, seriously the friendliest, funniest dude you'll ever meet.

    The vibes are right! Has that "locals" energy that Santa Barbara offers in every corner. The staff are incredibly attentive and respectful to everyone. Nice heavy pours, the right music, sick stage window display to dance on!! This place can be your nightly after-work, go-to spot or a place to put on your night out check list with a big crowd of your friends. Honestly you can even just go with no one at all and from experience I can guarantee that you will make more than enough friends lol. It's a great place to show off the SB experience for the out of towners as well. Love Indo! thanks yall, always.

    OMG!! Best bar in town 100%! The staff is so kind and fun and they’ll always make sure you are okay and having fun. The drinks are bomb and the music is bangin! Nelson the manager is the GOAT, and also s/o Omar sweetest man ever who always makes sure I’m warm! If you haven’t been already… get yourself to indo tonight!!!

    Love ossey. He welcomed me one night and it was awesome! The venue has gone major facelift and it looks amazing! Definitely work checking out!!

  • 5/5 Natalie W. 2 years ago on Google
    This is my favorite place to start and end the night with my friends!!! The drinks are strong and the atmosphere is very enjoyable. The staff is super attentive and friendly! One thing I really like about this place is the photo booth that sends pics straight to your phone which is super fun and convenient.

    Love the scene at Indochine. Great vibe. Fun atmosphere. Attentive service from the staff. Big thanks to the fantastic host of the venue, Nelson. He was on top of every detail making sure the group I was with had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves for the evening.

    Indochine is one of the most authentic, and unique locations in Santa Barbara. Amazing out door seating area with fire pits and heat lamps during the cold months. Great quality service. A definite must if you're spending a weekend in SB.

    Had a great night out having not been out downtown in a while! Nelson, Charles, and Kirsten make the place have such a fun atmosphere and are super friendly. Always have to stop by!

    Chill with the fog machine! The area is too small with too little ventilation to be having a fog machine running non-effin-stop. The oxygen displacement is real. Besides that, the patio area outside is nice and the staff is pretty upbeat. I'd go more often if it weren't for the smog machine.

  • 2/5 Maria Perez F. 9 months ago on Google
    I’m giving it two stars because the bartender who helped us out was great! However, one of the security guards just grabbed our drinks as we were talking and threw them away without saying anything. They were both halfway full and the space in the back was pretty empty, so I don’t understand why he would throw our drinks away which were clearly not finished.

    Would not serve me a glass of water. Recommended I cross the street to the pizza place 40 min before close.

    This club is not big, but pretty cool. I came here twice. One night the DJ was mixing amazing music and we had great fun. The other night music sucked, crowd was boring and it was a disappointment. I guess I need to go third time to make up my mind about this place.

  • 4/5 Adam B. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was ok/good. Bar food but African-style. They have a really nice selection of little appetizer plates, so I'd say this is a winner for happy hour and sharing. Oh, and hands-down the best plantains that I've encountered so far.

    Shake it in the Window

  • 3/5 Justin S. 7 years ago on Google
    Loud, cramped, small dancing area, the back outside area is the one savior of this spot. Known as windowchine as the big value of this place is dancing in the window

  • 5/5 Christian H. 8 years ago on Google
    One of the most aesthetically attractive and comfortable clubs to visit when in Santa Barbara.
