Figueroa Mountain Brewing

Can’t say enough great things about this place. Delicious beer, friendly and attentive service, live music, reasonable prices. Came here with my mom who has a bad back and Jaren (spelling?) took amazing care of us, making sure she had a seat both while waiting in line to get in and while in the crowded bar. The waiter came over to take our order and provided knowledgable, friendly and pleasant service. Such a lively place and great fun!

If you want to be in the funkzone scene amongst the cool kids, then head to Fig mountain… Great beers, good vibes, awesome and pretty crowd and amazing bartenders! Head straight to the bar and have Brianna Powell craft you up one of her magical libations! She is the best! Also funny af! Thank you Brianna for always making my nights at Fig so much fun!

Excellent selection of beer in a hipster little bar. They don’t serve food, but they’re partnered with Union Pizza so they’ll deliver straight to where you’re sitting and their pizza is seriously delicious. The couple of beers my friends and I shared may have had something to do with it, but we couldn’t stop talking about the pizza! We’ll definitely be returning soon.

Can’t wait to come back!
Excellent beer, friendly service and the lucky penny around the corner delivers great food what more do you need!

Loved this spot. Affordable brewery with 20+ beers on tap. Got the sampler — loved the Hoppy Poppy! Nice cool indoor with live music. Watched some golf, ate some free pretzels & mustard. Tasty!

First time here today at this location. Right in the middle of many wine tasting rooms. Really cool tasting room thats more of a bar setting. Cool patio out back. Band was setting up as we left. Bbq rib guy on patio. Lots of people. Beers were pretty good. My faves were probably the IPAs. Cant recall particulars since we drank lots of beer n wine today. This place didnt disappoint. Wish we had more time to devote to this place to study the beers a bit more. Ill be back.

It’s been a while since we’ve stayed in Santa Barbara. Our new favorite district is The Funk Zone! We visited Figueroa Mountain a couple times during our stay. It’s pretty crowded with indoor and outdoor communal seating. Order your beer at the bar and grab a seat. We opted for outside seating because it was better outside. On one of the nights walking back to our hotel we decided to grab a beer. Sadly, we were told that they were closing by one guy. We must have looked pretty sad because another guy took pity on us and allowed us to buy a couple of bottles to enjoy at our hotel. Thanks guys!

Hmmm. Beer tasting room. Santa Barbara. Funk Zone. I wonder if it will be a good time?
Shockingly, it is. We love this place. Not just a little, a lot. The only reason they don’t know us by name is because we live 2 hours away. If we were local, they would know our names, numbers, and how to get us home at night if need be. We originally experienced Fig Mt. in Buellton at the source. Fell in love immediately with Hoppy Poppy IPA, Hurricane Deck DIPA, lizard’s mouth imperial IPA, paradise pils, fmb 101 kolsch, etc, etc, etc. they have great beer.
Just know that this place gets packed late night especially when live music is pumping. It’s definitely a must stop for hops amongst all the grapes in the Funk Zone.
p. s. Plenty of sustenance nearby. Soak up that alcohol.

Took a day trip to Santa Barbara and a friend recommended this place. This was our last stop of the day. Very cool location, just down the street from the train station. Walked right in and walked up to the bar to order a drink. My wife ordered a pint of one of the light beers and I had the sampler. My sampler had the 101 ale that was light and had a smooth finish. Then I jumped over to the scary spice. This one smelled like Christmas. I have to say I was not a fan of this one but I’m sure others will love it. After getting thru that one I had the stagecoach stout. Very rich and smooth. Nice hint of chocolate and coffee with a smoky finish. To finish it off I had the lizard mouth imperial ipa. Very nice ipa, hoppy with a smooth finish. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The décor was cool here as well. I like the way they had beer mugs hanging over the bar and they have an outside patio that’s cool to enjoy a nice cold beer outside. When in the Santa Barbara area check this place out. Keep in mind this
Place is a brewery and they do not have food but you can order out and eat there from a specific location that will deliver the food.

It seems that as the years go by, that I am more of a beer fan and less of a wine fan. Scratch that… less of a sweet alcoholic beverage.
Visiting Santa Barbara for the weekend, a fellow craft beer aficionado, recommended for me to hit up this spot. Glad I did.
Great line of beers. My favs being, Czech yourself and Weiss Weiss baby. Ending up taking home a couple of growlers.
There are complimentary pretzels, though no other food is offered. No problem, feel free to bring in your own. Or have food delivered there.
Indoor and outdoor seating with lots of tv everywhere for you sport fans, this is a great spot to meet up.

We sat down on the patio and the server came over. She was very nice. I told her I was going to get a flight and asked about the beers on tap and if there was anything special. Then this happened: she looked from the people I was with directly at me and said:
«Wreck yo self.»
(my eyebrows went up)
«You’re such a dort».
(I probably looked taken aback)
«I dunkeled in my pants»
At this point I said: «Ok, can you stop for a second because I feel like we are having an extremely awkward conversation right now.»
That was when she informed me that she was actually naming beer.
She took it in good humor and we continued to have a nice afternoon here despite our awkward beginning. I would like to suggest other brew names for this father-​son brewing duo — they can feel free to throw some brews my way if they decide to use any :-)

Cool spot for a good beer and a place to watch whatever game is on and hang out with some friends.

I was stoked when I found out Figueroa had a location in Santa Barbara. I was in SB for a friend’s wedding and usually do my best to check out local breweries. FM was one that I’d become familiar with when I lived in LA, but never got to. I thought they were only up in Buelton, but that is not the case.
Great, low-​key location near the beach. Outdoor and indoor seating. The customers and staff were all friendly and sociable. It’s a great place to come have a favorite beer, or try a new one.

FREE PRETZELS. They have so many different beers on tap!!! Depends on the season but I want to say an average of 12 all the time ?!? There’s indoor and outdoor seating. Gets so packed during the weekends so you know this is a fun place to be. They also have a great food menu, but kinda pricey. Btw FREE PRETZELS (with mustard hehe).

Fig is THE spot in the SB Funk Zone for a cold beer and conversation. At first, I didn’t understand the attraction here, it’s just beer. However, that is the best part about this place, it’s just about the beer! Great beer, made by them, amazing staff, and the perfect atmosphere to enjoy a cold refreshing beer amongst your friends.
Although it can get crowded, they have a great patio full of picnic style tables and bar tops along the edges. The patio is also dog friendly, but they do have a limit on the number of dogs, for safety reasons.
They don’t have a kitchen, but they offer free pretzels and mustard for snacking. If you need to fill your belly, they do partner with a local kitchen for pizza delivery.
If you are looking for a place to take a break from your typical wine tasting crawls around the Funk Zone, stop into Fig!

Have been here a couple times and am always pleased. It does get very crowded and loud, but I think thats just a good sign for a brewery/​pub. The prices are incredible. About $ 5 – 6 per beer. And they have so many great options on tap. No matter what kind of beer you like, you will find something here! Staff has always been very friendly and they have live music almost always on weekends which is great. The outdoor space is a nice addition, especially when it is hot.
They have free pretzels and mustard which are kind of the perfect snack to go along with your beer. And you can order pizza from a nearby spot and eat it there. I think this would be a really fun place for a birthday party! Also, as its in the Funk Zone, its a great switch up from all the wine. I always get a little wined out after a few tasting rooms and enjoy grabbing a beer to refresh my palette.
Only problem is there is almost always a line and you will have to wait a bit to get inside.

When we fistr walked up, the Door said they were at capacity and forming a line in *% degree Santa Barbar heat. No Thanks. Came back almost before closing and things had simmered down, including temperature. From a design stand point it looks like it’s straight out of a musical, every inch considered and decorated in slight western swag. Is that a brew kettle in the back? The bar is ultra modern with 20 maybe 30 or more taps. These guys are making a lot of beer now days, most of it Very Very Good. There is a large indoor and medium large outdoor patio. This place is way too hip for my old arse, wife and kids in tow. I prefer the more relaxed, less high tech, locals of the Buelton production facility
They have embraced the Happy Hour theme however and a weekly special that can put you in a $ 3-​$ 4 pint at times which gets an extra star easy.

Great selection of draft beer.
Very crowded and hard to find seating. Awesome they have a pretzel area for you to snack on!
Hoppy Poppy IPA — $ 5 — Pretty good IPA, not as hoppy as the name says.

Great craft beer place in the Funk Zone!
Dog friendly! There were pooches everywhere which is fine by me since I brought my Tallulah.
Someone came by to check everyone often.
Very clean and organized.
Great crowd.
Good live music playing inside.
One of the employees talked to us for a while after her shift giving us great tips on where to dine in the area. And she did not steer us wrong.
They serve straight pretzels with a good little mustard on the side. Quite addicting actually.

I did some research on the best places to drink craft beer in Santa Barbara and came across this tasting room in the Funk Zone.
The entire experience was great. I walked in on a weekday afternoon and the vibe was really laid back and staff were all very friendly. I did a tasting with two beer flights and chatted up the bartenders and people around me at the bar. They all agreed that this beer was far more superior than the beer at Firestone (which I agree when I last visited Firestone in Buellton).
I also enjoyed being able to order a wood-​fired pizza (Ode to Dan Russo — oven roasted tomatoes, pork & fennel sausage, calabrian chile, smoked mozzarella, arugula) to eat at the bar from Lucky Penny, operated by the owners of The Lark, one of current top spots to eat in Santa Barbara.
As it got later, the bar got really loud and crowded. I much prefer visiting places when they’re quieter and less crowded. If you do too, I recommend visiting during a weekday afternoon instead of a crowded weekend or during the evening.
