This place is amazing. Great beers. Favorite one is the Knatcatcher IPA they have it on nitro. All of the bartenders are very nice and helpful about drink choices. Have been coming here once a week now for a couple weeks for their trivia nights. Always fun and great way to spend time with friends. Great atmosphere. You are giving back with every beer you buy. They give money to endangered species that are local to us. Hence the names of the drinks. I am very happy they offer food and this is not there fault at all but Yona Redz provides the food and it's just a little too greasy. But you are allowed to bring outside food. Habit is right across the street, Hana kitchen is very close. Go visit my friends at Night Lizard!!! Show less

If you're looking for the best brewery in town with the best kombucha, look no further than Night Lizard. This place is an absolute gem, with a cozy atmosphere and a wide selection of delicious drinks. In my opinion, their kombucha is the star of the show. It's brewed in-house, so it's fresh and full of probiotics. But don't just stop at the kombucha - their other drinks are just as good. Their beers are top-notch, with unique and creative flavors that will make your taste buds dance. And if you're not a beer drinker, they also have a selection of hard seltzer and homemade sake! The staff (especially Shannon) is friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to make recommendations or answer any questions you might have. And the atmosphere is perfect for a relaxing night out with friends or a casual date. For food, Night Lizard has partnered with Yona Redz and Soul Bites! Both restaurants will deliver right to your table!! Overall, I can't recommend Night Lizard enough. Their kombucha alone is worth the trip, but the whole experience is something special. If you're a fan of craft beer and a laid-back vibe, this is the place for you. Ps. Follow on instagram to know when events are happening! Live music, trivia nights, maker markets, bingo... It's always fun at Night Lizard!! Support Local Businesses :) Show less

Best two out of six bars. Night lizard. Brewed here on site with many opportunities based on seasonal pours. Ask for Brenda at the bar she will make sure that your palate is satisfied with the right brew.

Super welcoming space with an amazing message of preservation of wildlife. Really solid beers. Had the pleasure of chatting with the owner and a couple of regulars and had a delightful time! Hazy IPA on nitro made for an unexpected treat!

This is one awesome brewery! Easily a highlight of a trip to Santa Barbara! Even during SBIFF (cause tho Adam Driver is a great drama actor, Scarlett Johansen getting an award...that's a stretch). Do try their experimental brews! Yuzu Miju Saiso world class.

They had an incredible flight with Girl Scouts cookies. Really cool. Their monkey flower DWIT was incredible with 7.6 ABV. Very dangerous and super smooth for a wheat ale.

I love microbreweries with their own taprooms, and this is a great one! The latter is open & airy, with the fermentation tanks out back. Also games to play, and Mexican food to order from next door.

I’m an IPA fan, but more UK style - less hoppy than many of our American cousins and definitely not fruity! Live Forever suited my palate perfectly and was excellent. Apparently family-owned, this place has great staff. Would definitely return. Show less

Very recommendable brewery with great choice of beers. I can really recommend the Night Lizard Lager that the lady chose. The food was also great. Nice relaxing atmosphere and very friendly bar-keepers. It’s a pity that Prince Harry (The Sussex) & Meghan don’t show up here:)

This is only my second 5 star review and I think they have absolutely earned it. The space was nice and clean, great vibe and really honest down to earth people.

A fun local home brew bar! This establishment is a cool hang joint. You might even find the owner at the door checking I.Ds and giving you a list of duties he often covers. There's a dog bowl down at the door with water.Inviting you to sit on the patio with your fur baby if you're out for a stroll and want to stop in for a drink. The atmosphere is open and there seems to be entertainment quite often.That is a great break from strolling the boulevard of state street There's not a lot of options on food. There's small snacks, but the drink selection is wonderful and tasty. The best part is the friendly atmosphere of patrons and staff alike.There are clearly regulars but there is room for newbies as well. Definitely a family good vibes feel environment. I highly recommend. Show less
