Definitely Give it a Try, 3/29/2013
Reviewer: Peter
from Santa Barbara, CA
We have been here 3 times since they opened, once as a couple, once with the kids, and once for drinks. Completely satisfied each time. The Bourbon Room definitely fits in the "Hidden Gem" category. Great Drinks!! Good Food!, and a Funky Vibe!!
We will continue to return for more of all!

A Mixed Bag, 3/11/2013
Reviewer: Dave
from Santa Barbara, CA
Had dinner with friends at Bourbon this weekend. The four of us ordered two pizzas, which were each in the $22 range, and were tasty. The problem was in our drink orders. My wife ordered a glass of "house red wine." It was hardly generous. We were charged $11. FOR HOUSE WINE! My friend's wife ordered a generic cabernet. That was $13. The waitress was very sweet but spacy. Service was not great. Not sure I'll be back.

Not my cup of... bourbon., 3/8/2013
Reviewer: Christine

Well, just nothing good enough to get me to want to go back. Parking is a PITA, it always has been at Creekside. Inside is an odd use of space. A small cramped bar and a dining room that is partially in a cave-like space. LOUD from everyone's conversation. 2 servers, one was the bartender, so service was not attentive. We waited 45 minutes for our food to come out after ordering. Drink (Manhattan) was just fine. Sloppy Joe pulled pork sandwich was fine, but "coleslaw" on the sandwich was a slice of cabbage, and bun was something from Albertsons, nothing special. Allegedly the guy who used to make the pizzas at Dino's makes these pizzas, so if that's your thing perhaps this is the pizza place for you.

Great new place-needs a little work on menu.., 3/4/2013
Reviewer: S.
from Santa Barbara, CA
Husband and I went here recently on a recommendation of a friend. The service does not getting any better than at The Bourbon Room. Our server was the co-owner and extremly sweet and attentive. Eerything is ala carte so shoudl you want a veggie or starch you must order separately. And please add a nonfried starch to menu. Mashed potatoes or a pasta would have been nice. Dessert Menu limited but the cake we got was very moist tasty. Could use a simple glaze sauce. But all in all a great new hidden gem. Parking is a premium.

Fabulous Food, Perfect Drinks, Great Service!!!, 3/1/2013
Reviewer: Rhonda
from Santa Barbara, CA
Have been here three times now – each time was fabulous and can’t wait to come back again. Great service, wonderful food, and creative drinks. Love the atmosphere/design – a bit funky and it works. In particular, for all of you that miss your Deano’s Pizza – you can find it here. And the filet – perfect every time. I think that is what I like most – from burgers, to pizza, to steak, to creative bar bites --- always wonderful. A much needed addition to Upper State Street.

An improvement over Meat & Potatoes, 2/17/2013
Reviewer: Chase
from Santa Barbara, CA
I used to visit Meat & Potatoes before it was redesigned into the Bourbon Room, and the biggest issue was that steak was the only real entree on the menu and so I only went on special occasions. The new Bourbon Room menu has a much wider variety of options, including a bacon cheeseburger that tasted just like one of their steaks. It was a friendly environment with great food. My only issue was parking, as they share a parking lot with the Creekside (which was busy).

Our new fave!, 2/14/2013
Reviewer: CJ
from Santa Barbara, CA
What a jewel! We are always looking for something new, innovative, and delicious - this place doesn't disappoint. It's a bit like Mercury Lounge, Wildcat, and Elsie's Tavern in its funky/retro decor. But, what stands out most are the people, three of whom are sisters! Friendly, attentive, with lots of smiles. And, let me just say, the Whiskey Sour made with their own sweet & sour AND cherries - decadent and waaaay too tasty! The fries could be crisper (for my taste) and the steak bites a bit bigger, but both were well seasoned.
Check them out on FB too.

Great New Place, 2/5/2013
Reviewer: Krista and Tony
from Santa Barbara, CA
Love this place, a must try. The look: Low light, dark furniture, red leather booths and a lot of turn-of-the-century prints give this place a great old-time feel. Its not a big place either, 20-25 will fill it comfortably, and at that it can get a bit noisy, but the vibe and the feel are well worth the ruckus. The steaks are wonderful, great quality meat and fantastic sauces, not just grilled meat here, this is a full flavor experience. The pizza's look great too but otherwise don't bring your vegetarian friends :-) The drinks are good and fairly priced and they've got decent happy hour deals as well. As a new place they are still working out the perfect staffing levels (it was quite full on a Tuesday) but the crew, while overworked, were all professional and quite friendly. This isn't the most convenient location but we love it and we definitely plan on becoming regulars! There are a lot of places to eat in this town but we will go out of our way to eat here, as often as possible:-)
