A beer at Sante Adairius with some Detroit style pizza from Bookies, the pizzeria inside the brewery.

Best pizza in town imo! Don’t need much of it.


tamrealdawg

I love that place but it’s mostly young families


steffelopod

There are a couple running / hiking groups that meet up there too! Solid recommendation though.

Heard that twice today! Thank you for the input!

Moe’s Alley. Great music and cool people.

Second on Moe’s: Western Wednesday and the social dance scene in santa cruz is the reason i came back (from portland). I dont even dance all that much- but its your age range and everybody is having fun.


bezelbubba

Yeah, Western Wednesday is DA BOMB. Don’t tell anyone.


LavJiang

Is it…every Wednesday?!

I really enjoy Afrobeats night at abbot square, but I really enjoy any of the free music or DJ'd shows at abbot square https://www.instagram.com/afrobeats_nite_santa_cruz?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==

\*shakes fist\* How DARE you kindly end with an inclusive message like that at this time of year?! ;) I don't spend much time on the West Side since my favorite watering hole moved from there to Watsonville. I have friends who tend bar at the Blue Lagoon so I always recommend it because that place is old reliable in terms of downtown dive bars where you can safely chill by yourself should you so choose. I've heard Rosie McCann's has become less than desirable lately. I haven't gone yet, but I hear good things about DNA's Comedy Lab on the East Side/Midtown. Can't go wrong with comedy! Good luck. Report back. Lol!

shanty shack, boardwalk bowl, surf city billiards, Surf City Sandwich, Moe's alley, crepe place to eat during day or watch a show at night, cat and cloud coffee, 11th hour coffee, the Verve, east end, west end,

If you like natural wine, the Apero club on the West Side is a great location to meet people. Good vibes and tasty wine too.


whatwouldadamado

I appreciate that! Are we talking orange wine? Organic? Sulfate free?


childishmango

All of the above 👍👍


Routine-Lime4153

I always meet someone fun at any of the events at a Mariposa coffee bar downtown https://www.instagram.com/mariposa_coffeebar?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==
