Solid pours and prices on drinks. There is endless entertainment; Beer pong table in the back patio, pool table, two ping pong tables, and arcade games. My girlfriend also liked the fact that their are two female restrooms...

Really great happy hour, friendly service, and a convenient (though slightly hidden) location. Great spot in Santa Barbara for a relaxing night.

Really good pizza. Decent fries and sandwiches also. All the staff was excellent. Bartender, security, kitchen, etc. was great. From out of town... But will be back while were here. Just check and make sure the pizza oven is still on.

A noisy, fun bar. The standard bar menu is ok but the drinks are large. A vegan wrap is offered. This neighborhood restaurant is a complex collection of interconnected rooms, equipped with two complete bars supposed by friendly, knowledgeable bartenders. Table service is available. Multiple TV displays in every room. Even the patio is video supported. There is a Jukebox but I dont know how you would hear the music. Pool tables and other games are offered. Everything is wheelchair accessible, including bathrooms. Street parking. Great place.

In an upscale, hipsterville, expensive world. This place brings you back to the 90’s! Cheap and juicy burgers and decent beers.

Bartender was rude to both me and my girlfriend (get a new bartender maybe 4 stars) decided to go next door after the 1st drink where we had a much better experience

Bartender was rude and when I asked for the menu it seemed like such a hassle. Go elsewhere.

We were here on a Friday evening. Mostly college age hanging out. Had a tall beer for $6 and a cheese burger and fries. It was all reasonably good pub food and drink. Seemed like a good hangout for friends.

My phone got stolen from our table at this bar... when we asked the bartenders to please allow us to see the video recordings they told us the cameras arent working right now. Apparently they have used this excuse in the past to other customers... very disappointed at this bar.

A hidden gem is tucked away in Santa Barbara, nestled in West Beach. To the locals however, Santa Barbarians know it as The Neighborhood Bar. As the name might suggest, The Neighborhood Bar is the best bar in Santa Barbara, with its laidback atmosphere and impressive assortment of beers on draft. Voted “Best of Santa Barbara” four years in a row by The Independent, patrons have many reasons as to why they’re repeat customers.The Neighborhood Bar not only has a good selection of beers, but its menu can satisfy even the hungriest bear—or man. Reasonably priced, the menu offers a variety of good ole’ American food, like: Burgers, Specialty Pizzas, Hot Dogs, etc.With all its quirks and greatness, The Neighborhood Bar truly deserves its rep as the best bar in the neighborhood.

Perhaps one of my favorite bars in Santa Barbara period. This is definitely a spot that the locals hit up more than the tourists even though its just a few blocks away from State street. There are amazing drink specials, great people that work there, lots of fun things to do like pool / cornhole / beer pong / table tennis / arcade games, and really tasty food. Try the pulled pork sandwich as a wrap, tri tip nachos, fresh fish sandwich, and/or any of their pizzas. Delicious!

Dont eat food here unless you want your butt to throw up! My Gf and I ate there last night, pulled pork sandwich which was mediocre and the fries tasted really off... Not an hour later before were both on the toilet hating life There tap beer selection blows. Only good thing is the outdoor area, games, and tvs for sports.Nothing special end of the day

Review №24

I was there and didn’t stay long thanks to their clientele being way too drunk. The bartenders kept serving them despite the fact they were falling all over themselves and badly slurring their words. Can’t believe that a place like this makes its money by serving people that obviously have a problem drinking.

This is a perfect place to hang out with friends! Great service, good food, best beer, and friendly staff. Their happy hour is just amazing!

Review №26

Best food from a bar in town, no doubt about it. Lots of tvs, two ping pong table, a pool table, out door patio in both the front and back of the bar. The back patio is set up with a bunch of really nice beer pong tables. Very clean environment especially for being such a divey sports bar. The only reason it doesnt get a full 5 stars is because the beer is a bit overpriced and no one there can make a decent cocktail.

I really enjoyed the experience. Place was interesting, friendly staff and people. Food service is a bit slow but over all I would recommend.

Descent bar and a fun vibe, but management has issues. The manager gets flustered under pressure and takes it out on customers. Not a good way to run a bar nor attract repeat customers.

The neighborhood is an awesome bar. Many fun activities there, including pool, ping pong, foosball, beer pong, and cornhole. Standard drink selection, suprisingly good bar food (for what it is). If you come early on Sunday and get a seat at the bar, you can catch all the football games. Friendly staff, good vibes.
