College bars galore
Santa Barbara is famous for its wineries, and for wine tasting tours, but there are many Santa Barbara bars and pubs you will enjoy as well. Many central bars are usually populated by tourists and the students from the University of California, which could be a positive thing, particularly on Thursdays, when the official college night brings significant discounts and happy hours. Sure, there are also many iconic Santa Barbara bars, like the Rooftop Bar, with stunning views of the mountains, the mesa and the harbor.
