They pour very generous drinks and treat u like family. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. If you are having a bad day and you want to get drunk and make friends this is the place to come.
Break Time means having a good time! They have the nicest staff there and playing pool with your friends is just an enjoyment! I will absolutely go there again if i am back in California!
Great little bar! Party atmosphere any night of the week but all are welcome here: play pool, watch some football, dance around or just have a quiet chat. Friendly bar staff and good prices.
Great place! Liz (owner) is funny, sexy and an amazing bartender! Never a dull moment here (in a good way) and you are always treated like family. Highly recommend whether you are stopping in for a quick drink or spending the evening with friends! đ»
Arguably the best pool dive bar in Santa Barbara. When all cylinders are firing they have five bar tables that they keep serviced and felted. House cues are a mixed lot but most of the locals bring their own. Multiple televisions with whatever game is playing on. This is very much a hangout for locals. Be respectful and you'll be âŠ
Great bar staff, cool decor and awesome place to play pool with 5 tables (cues are a bit old and used but better than many places Iâve been). Overall great place.
Would reccomend many pool table good bartenders great location next to Taco Bell for after (;
Local dive bar vibe that I always have a good time at. Servers are friendly and they get the drinks out fast. Bar tables, dim lighting, music, darts, and decent sticks. Check them out when in the area.
Old school style dive bar with great locals, visitors, staff taboot!đStrong pours, reasonable prices. đPlenty of parking. đOutside (for smokers) and inside (for non-smokers). đPool tabled and games đJerry (bartneder). đBreak Time Margarita (Aperol, Tequila, Limes, Agave, Marg Mix).
The pop up food grill featured at Breaktime called Mello Munchies was fantastic! Served up unique twists on such items like bacon wrapped hotdogs with cheese and smash burger style street tacos. Everything is delicious!
