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.
Great place for a relaxed informal meal. The bartender is very helpful and has a great attitude. At Happy Hour, there's a daily special for $10 with a meal and a beer. Love it. The seats aren't very comfortable if you have any back issues.
Love the Hive, Anthony and Brittany are the best. Great selection of beer, Boochcraft on tap and best place to get a steak cooked to perfection in Santa Barbara. Unfortunately I hear they are closing it down because Whole Foods upper managment are a bunch of fools.
Yeah, dig this place. Isn't great to go to a bar in a grocery store? Anyway they rotate craft beers and wines, the vibe is way chill and the food is not only good, it is at a reasonable price, especially considering you are in Whole Paycheck. Give it a try, especially if you are a single woman. :)
Great place! Good beers and awesome food! Great place to grab a bite and a beer after work. The bartender is very courteous and helpful. Highly recommend!
I cannot live without this place. It's amazing to have a place to relax and try a delicious beer while you shop!
Great bartender. Fun chatting with the regulars. Love the daily specials.
Had a great time. Atmosphere was awesome. Food delicious.
