Indochine

My name is Stephanie. I’m new to town and i already found my new favorite place. staff is friendly, drinks are good and music is even better. Best place in town. There was a bouncer named Nate i believe and he was so helpful and friendly most bouncer are so rude.
I will be back soon with all my friends.

Went out down tow Santa Barbara and was totally disappointed after walking into this small joint, grabbing one drink and leaving dissatisfied. And to top it off I checked my bank account and realized this place over charged me.

**JUKEBOX HIP HOP AND SHOTS**
Definitely a solid spot for SB nightlife.
Wouldn’t call it spectacular, but it got the job done.
PARKING
=======
Street or garage.
AMBIANCE
=========
Sorta divey, tiny dance floor.
Back patio for fresh air.
Bartenders were friendly.
Received a sparkler treatment with shots.
Thank you, it made my bachlorette night!
Best of all, some dude gave my girlfriend $ 10 and told her to choose her music on the jukebox. Of course she selected all HIP HOP jams and we danced for a good hour to Too Short, E-​40, etc.
RECOMMEND for locals, small bachelorette parties (like 10 girls or under), and unpretentious peeps.

Came 2 years ago first time, born here. The night we went a group of guys were on some sort of drugs. We had mean guys harassing us and one guy hit my friend that’s a girl on my bachelorette night bc he was dancing so crazy spinning in circles tripping out. We’re all local girls just trying to mind our own business and dance but some gross guys dancing on acid trying to hump my leg harassing and following me to the point it was scary
Sticking his tongue out at me. I needed help and I saw no help from a bouncer. It was dangerous one guy wouldn’t let me walk past him in the tiny aisle they have there near the bar blocking me on purpose with his arm out so I couldn’t pass. Thank god my brothers were there. Anyway this isn’t even the half of it but I will never go back. I left sober and in tears then I went to EOS where I had actual FUN!

This place is CRUNK! I’m not a local in SB, so I really just depend on my co-​workers to take me to fun places when I’m in town. I honestly didn’t even check out the crowd here, because I was way too busy dancing…
The drinks are good, the dance floor is small-​but SO fun-​and the back patio is a spacious haven of fresh air. This place doesn’t look like anything special from the front, but it’s actually very stylish with unique India-​Asian/​Mediteranean décor both inside and out. The back patio is an absolute gem!!! It’s a lovely place to lounge with friends while sipping cocktails, and then you can go inside and tear up the dance floor. The bartenders were super chill and the music was great… We most definitely had a fun time here!

I usually would go with my friends but the last few times there has been some shady things happening in the ladies bathroom, might be in the men’s as well. I went last night with my friends, one of them needed to use the bathroom so we went. Right when we walk in there was a girl peeing in the trash can because there were a bunch of girls in the only stall that they have. The door doesn’t lock so I open it, there was 3 girls standing inside, not using the toilet… I thought it was pretty sketchy. Turned out they were doing other things, we asked them to step out so that we can actually use it to pee. They got all rowdy with us and then they go to tell on us… I tell the bartender what happened and he said it’s fine just avoid each other. Not even 10 minutes later the same girl is walking towards us this time with a different bouncer. He tells us we have to leave without even asking what happened. I said to him are you telling us to leave because your friend said something? He says this isn’t about friends, but they obviously knew each other. I told him that the bartender already said to leave it alone, but like I said, the girl was his friend and he wanted to please her. Right after we step outside the same girl is starting something with a different gal. I just want other outside people to know this place is trash. Its like going to an Isla Vista party. People peeing wherever and sometimes even passed out in the outside area. The management should really think about the people they hire the bouncer looked about 17. Never going again, but just wanted to make sure everyone else knows the type of things that happen there. Hope it gets better, it was a cool place to go to til it got trashy.
