★★★★☆ Brett, Feb 2018

Great this bar is open again. It’s nice to find someplace not too crowded and mainly a locals vibe. Friendly bartenders and pool tables to hang out.

The Cliff Room, located at 1828 Cliff Drive in Santa Barbara’s Mesa neighborhood, has been a cherished local bar since 1980.  Under the ownership of Scott Hail, the establishment has garnered praise for its welcoming atmosphere and attentive service.

★★★★★ Brian, Jan 2025

Excellent neighborhood bar out of the craziness of downtown. Friendly bartenders, good pours, reasonable prices. Two coin-op bar boxes - but these are Diamond tables that traditionally are maintained with top of the line Simonis felt, and you're apt to bump into some of the best pool players in town here.
