Lama Dog Tap Room + Bottle Shop

Cool spot in the Funk Zone. A nice change from all the wine. They've got a great selection of beers, both on tap and in bottles. I would like to see some more exotic, hard to find bottled beers.

Nice brewpup. Great selection of craft beers. Nice artsy industrial vibe. Some days "The Nook" (a tiny kitchen) serves fun grub. There are a handful of adequate wines on tap as well, for us non beer drinkers. Usually moderately full of locals, but I've never seen it uncomfortably crowded. Recommende... Read more

Solid array of beverages on tap from Societe, Fremont, Bruery, Firestone, etc. Usual suspects in the bottle area including a large amount of Humble Sea which I expect would be more hard to come by in SB area.

Also got to try Urban Roots Demon Run imperial stout - amazingly charred chocolatey goodness. Must visit spot for craft beer enthusiasts. Staff knows their stuff, vibe is clean and laid-back, easily one of the best beer spots in California! This is where you go when you’re done pretending to like milkshake IPAs 😉 Show less

Used to be my favorite place but they have horrendous service for people with disabilities . Their small cramped low bar for people with disabilities was covered with cleaning supplies, kid high chairs. And that’s not my problem yet. The problem was my guest being asked to move from the service area (which is right next to disability seating). We ended up leaving versus having a continued awkward exchange with the incompetent bar tender. Show less

The bar is very clean, tables were literally cleaned minutes after guests left which was very impressive when busy. Good job Lama Dog. The food IMO, was just okay but really we were there to drink and watch hockey, not expecting much but it was not bad. Show less

Great beer selection, but pricey. Also, 4/5 green stars. Lama Dog had 18 beers on tap when I visited. I tried four of them – 4 oz. pours for $3 each. Note that this translates to $12 per pint, while a 4 oz. pour from Figueroa Mountain Brewing down the street is $2. Would be nice if it was a bit chea... Read more

Great beer selection, but pricey. Also, 4/5 green stars. Lama Dog had 18 beers on tap when I visited. I tried four of them – 4 oz. pours for $3 each. Note that this translates to $12 per pint, while a 4 oz. pour from Figueroa Mountain Brewing down the street is $2. Would be nice if it was a bit cheaper or if they had a flight deal for $10 or less. Here’s what I had: Island Hop Hefner (Hefeweizen from Carpenteria) – a decent hefe. M.Special Dozers Brown (American brown ale, Goleta) – very rich and tasty, perfect for a small pour. Boochcraft Ginger Lime Rosehips (San Diego) – great choice for a hot day, highly recommended. The Lost Abbey, Lost and Found (Dubbel with raisins, San Marcos) – also recommended. I also had truffle parmesan fries from the Nook. They were $7 but I had to admit that they were worth it, just not every day. Overall, staff members were very busy but fairly friendly. The alleyway has nice outdoor seating. Definitely worth a visit for their interesting beer selection which changes frequently. I’m also giving Lama Dog 4/5 “green stars” for social and environmental impact, based on these reasons: • Of the 18 beers on tap, 11 were from California, 3 from other states, and 4 from overseas. • Their walk-in cold room sounds like an energy-hog. Hope they get solar panels! • Of the beers I tried, I think Boochcraft stands out for social and environmental impact. What they make is actually alcoholic kombucha, and it’s made from locally-sourced, organic ingredients. They also donate 1% of proceeds to local charities related to sustainable food. • Overall, glad to have been introduced to a new sustainable brewery, Boochcraft, at Lama Dog.

Lama Dog Tap Room + Bottle Shop in Santa Barbara, California, is a must-visit spot for craft beer enthusiasts. The place has a relaxed and friendly vibe. You might even spot a cute dog sitting under a table! I loved it here and wish we lived in the area to take full advantage what they have to offer. They have a cute outdoor area as well. They even have slushie drinks which I’m a huge fan of so when I saw this I was over excited. These icy concoctions are perfect for warm Santa Barbara days. Whether you’re a beer lover or prefer wine, the slushies add a fun twist to your visit. So, grab a seat, sip on a slushie or grab a beer, and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere! You can also grab food at the Nook which inside. Amazing food! My mouth is drooling thinking about how good their burgers were. I’ll write a review for them too! Show less

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience. We waited over 10 minutes at the bar while other people were being helped that arrived after us. When we were finally helped, Nick, the bartender, was so loud about "educating" us how Lama Dog operates. Instead of providing welcoming customer service, he made sure everyone heard his rhetoric. Based on this experience, I would NOT recommend Lama Dog to anyone in town. There are far better options nearby with attentive and friendly service, such as Validation, Biergarten, or Rincon. I'd strongly suggest choosing one of those instead. Show less
