East Cliff Brewing Company - Santa Cruz

Locally owned, socially conscious brewery with a variety beer for every taste! Fun eating options from rotating food trucks and the neighboring Bakery, which makes the best tamales! Family friendly evening events, such as trivia and karaoke make this a great spot any day of the week! I love the patio.

Didn't know about this little hidden gem off 17th until just recently. This is an amazing spot that is very under rated. The beer selection was not too vast but had some great options. It was nice to see they have some food on location if you get hungry, and they also had a spot for food trucks to park. It's always nice to have a place to go that is dog friendly so my best friend can join me. I loved the games they have here, it's like a small biz Dave and busters but without the corporate vibes! Everyone was so kind, and it's amazing to see businesses donate to great causes. I will be back again, and this time to try out the outdoor space, which looked great! Very open with many tables and some propane fire tables, which looked very plush!

This is a regular place for my pals and me to enjoy a chill hang with a couple of beers. The staff are great and the atmosphere is nice. The only reason for 4 and not 5 stars is that the beers themselves leave something to be desired. They're not bad, but they're far from the best in town. Otherwise, it's a great place to spend some quality time.

Stopped in here on a Sunday and they only had 3 beers on tap, so I gotta knock a star off. It is my understanding that they just got swamped the day before and just sold out basically. I do plan to go back and try some other beers next time I'm in Santa Cruz and I'll hopefully move them up to 5 stars. The beer I did have was a Hazy IPA and it was a solid beer. The facility itself was very welcoming with an entire game room, and plenty of seating for everyone. I liked the decor as well, it was loaded up with butterflies and looked really good.

Brewery with a great business model! Friendly staff and welcoming space. Bonus: each guest gets to help choose who they donate to!
