The Buzz Hive

Can't wait for the reopening👌
Nov 3rd, 2021

This little bar is hidden right in the middle of Whole Foods and it has one of the best beer selections in town. Considering this is the most serious craft beer town I've ever seen, that's saying a lot. They have a rotating selection of top notch beers and a very good selection of wines, too. There's even a locally made kombucha on tap. There are weekly beer and wine tastings, too. Booze isn't the only reason to come here, though. They also offer quality food at an excellent price. The 50-50 Burger (half beef, half bacon), and the Bison Burger are both under 10 bucks (unheard of in Santa Barbara), while the seafood is by far the best in town and at the best price. You can also grab something from the huge salad and hot food bar or even order a pizza. The staff is accommodating, knowledgeable, and super friendly. I don't shop Whole Food$ much. I find them overpriced and pretentious, but somehow the Buzz Hive is everything the store isn't.
