Front & Cooper

Busy local eatery with variety of food and drinks. Had the Saint Adarius IPA and it was refreshing, citrusy and great for hot day out. Bartender was friendly. No beer flights are available but you can get a shot worth.

Purple haze was a fantastic drink - Ube Sake was a great find.

Live music was a good vibe.

Excellent craft cocktails with a special menu of interesting drinks unique to the bar.

I had a "piscrew sour", encanto pisco, orange acid, and sour beer with what they called a "schezwan buzz button" clipped to the rim. Start the drink and then eat the flower, then enjoy the rest from the new perspective.
The flower was Acmella oleracea and has some interesting effects.
I'll be going back to try the rest, Highly recommended.

There's a separate Wine, & beer bar towards the main dining area as well.

I've never been told I’m too pretty to drink Fernet, but when I was here, it made sense and I realised really important things about myself. Fantastic service, liquor, liquor-based cocktails, and ambiance. It's just too bad it's open to the public, it'd be better at some underground techno club.

Delicious , creative and unique cocktails, great service and environment, and very fun drink choices!! This is the Norse meadows and pineapple, sage, and thyme gin and tonic

Great little cocktail bar hidden off the main downtown street of Santa Cruz. Great cocktails that were fairly priced and great social atmosphere with other small food vendors in the same building as well and plenty of outdoor seating.

Handcrafted cocktails. Friendly staff and great atmosphere all in Abbots Square! Good place to start a night out.

Excellent craft cocktail bar right in Santa Cruz! I tried the Electric Boogaloo which had a perfect blend of rums & tropical fruits, with bitters to add some complexity & depth. Wish I had more time to try more cocktails on the menu, as they all sounded phenomenal! Can’t wait to visit again! Earned 4x AMEX points with the American Express Gold card!

A little hard to find but worth the effort. The vibe in the marketplace is so fun and the drinks were bomb!

Fantastically unique, expertly mixed drinks. Great vibe and plenty of outdoor seating.

This 5 star review is based on just one visit but I will return. Friendly bartender, beautiful delicious gin drinks with prices reflecting modern day Santa Cruz.

This place is a gem and a must visit while in Santa Cruz. Their bartenders are very creative and often come up with seasonal cocktails that are unique and delicious. A cactus flower is one of my favorites.

An awesome new place to get drinks downtown. The craft cocktail menu is huge and based in the handful that I have tried so far are all delicious.
The fact that this is one of many food/drink spots that share an open area there is plenty of room to spread out.
Go check it out and feel the trendyness flow through you!

Absolutely love this little hidden gem! The bartenders are so wonderful at what they do and create such beautiful drinks! Love it! Pictured are the Juicy Juicy and the 10,000 Emerald Pools

Visited here on a busy Saturday night late November. I was lucky to find an unoccupied stool, ordered a Cuba Libre and chilled out for awhile. Bartenders very friendly and given the crowd size, I got my drink pretty quick. It's in the same complex as the museum and it's kinda like a food court, but way better. There is a huge outdoor seating area and a stage for bands to play.

Knowledgeable and friendly bartenders always make for a great bar experience

Awesome live music - great company, good variety of foods from pizza to Mexican to beer garden and a cocktail bar.

So good, I recommend the strawberry/blackberry gin and tonic! The atmosphere, live music,and community vibe is all you need to enjoy a night out in downtown Santa Cruz.

Great place, great coast city vibe, great cocktails. My favorites are Mezcal based cocktail and Cassis Gin Tonic.

I wish something like this place would exist in the Silicon Valley.

I love the vibe here. Such a choice of food with an oyster bar, poke, pizza, vegetarian and dessert . I personally come for the cocktails and wine which are faultless. The bar staff are fun and welcoming.
