What players say

Wings have and still remain a staple here in an area that offers no diversity in wings. As a place that remains a staple in Downtown Santa Cruz nightlife, it still remains a go to place for wings. They aren't for hot heads but if you want a good crispy wing for a decent price. They have it.

★★★★★ Wing, Nov 2021

I didn't get any food, so I'm not rating that. I actually went on a Sunday night because my phone said they have table tennis tables there. I was told they do, but only on weekdays, and I haven't been back there since.

★★★★★ Mike, Mar 2025

Bar tenders & cook are amazing, friendly & fun I would expect this out of any establishment it made the night. Visit and see for yourself
