The ultimate guide to happy hours in Santa Barbara, Goleta, Montecito, Carpinteria, and Summerland
Featured Happy Hours
Hi, I’m Ali, and I love living in Santa Barbara. The sun, the sand, the surf, the outdoor lifestyle. The way going out for food and drinks drains my bank account. (I kid.) While I adore my luxurious city, I like my drinks cheap.

For this reason, I’ve made it my mission to find the best daily happy hours at restaurants and bars in Santa Barbara, Goleta, Montecito, Carpinteria, and Summerland.

If your idea of happiness consists of a good hour or two (or three) of reasonably priced drinks and appetizers while basking in the glow of a pink sunset, you’ve found the right spot. Everyone deserves a happy ending to their day. And a few extra bucks saved.
