Reviews for Surf City Billiards Bar & Cafe in Santa Cruz, CA
Used to be good. Now some bartender lady gets mad asking her about the pool list. My friend and I came here today. The same lady... was here and kept ignoring him. Too bad this place has poor management now. Read more
Awesome little Pool Hall with great bartenders. Jordan was awesome too, I taught her a new drink and she absolutely knocked it... out of the park, made the best one I've ever had. Thanks Jordan ^__^ Read more
Surf City is a special place. With all the small businesses closing during thr pandemic cool places to grab a drink and a bite... are becoming more rare. Surf City has a wide variety of entertainment featuring a ping pong table, a photo booth, pinballmachines and over ten pool tables, not to mention a vinyl collection of killer records, playing all night. The neighborhoodstaff is friendly and attentive. The bar is filled with a plethora of unique beers, ciders and frozen spirits and liquors. Thefood is the hidden gem. From lemon pepper chicken wings to soft shell crab sandwiches to the best jucy Lucy I've had, themouth-watering food will make you feel right at home. The food is cooked by an ultra-talented chef that clearly puts love intoher food. Places with soul are becoming harder to find and Surf City brings people together. Take the negative comments with agrain of salt. Some people's expectations are hard to meet, and sometimes are never met. Go check out Surf City! You'll be gladyou did. Read more
Wings have and still remain a staple here in an area that offers no diversity in wings. As a place that remains a staple in... Downtown Santa Cruz nightlife, it still remains a go to place for wings. They aren't for hot heads but if you want a goodcrispy wing for a decent price. They have it. A Sriracha forward sauce that is absolutely delicious. For the price, the portionis worth the cost alone. Tawne and Scott delivered incredible service. Has and will always be a must stop spot for fun andwings. Crisp:4.3 Heat: 3.6 Flavor: 4.4 Portion: 4.5 Tender: 4.4 OVR: 4.24 Read more
This is my favorite bar to go to in Santa Cruz hands down!! The ambiance, the pool, the drinks, EVERYTHING. The manager Tawni is... the MOST kind, welcoming, sweet, hardworking human and she is seriously the cherry on the top of this place! I see the effortshe puts into billards and it shines through everyday! Absolutely love this place ???? Read more
A friend of mine recommended this place for a good time. When I showed up the environment was great and people were friendly. ... That's as far as the plus goes. The food was just OK, the bar staff understandably was backed up with people but it took me 15minutes just to get a beer. My girlfriend tried to call the bar to come hang out and it took her 5 calls to get thru and aftershe did the short lady with tatooees at the bar Hung up on her. The place is nice but unfortunately I won't be going back dueto the staff. Read more
