One Double Oh Seven Club & Smoking Parlor

Great bar. Great bar service. Not a good spot if smoke bothered you. But on all other accounts. Good Dive bar. Local feel. Strong drinks. Fair price.

This is the place to be!!! We had so much fun and the bartenders were friendly. Music, pool tables, darts, shuffle board… the night was endless! The best part, was the shot ski!!! Keep in mind that this is s smoking bar but, the ventilation seemed to work really well. Thanks for a fun night!

Awesome place to kill time! Opens early, closes late! Lots of stuff to do! Darts, pool, video games at the bar, drink, smoke & BS with the old timers at the bar. Drinks are good & the lady bartender is cool too.

I love the bartenders! There are a lot of dart boards which is nice too. Definitely worth checking out.

Only go here if you’re not bothered by smokers. It’s he only bar in Cali you can still legally smoke. Three pool tables. Lots of dart boards. Always a fun crowd

what a bar should be! lots of games, friendly crowd, and you dont have to go outside for the good cig break conversations making the bar crowd so much more happy/​friendly/​united (?).
ALSO THE BARTENDERS ARE SO NICE! im young and have always been treated rudely by bartenders, but these guys are the best and put my faith back into bars. always have fun here!

Maybe it’s because the first time I heard of this place was through an online dating discussion that made it sound like a magical beast of a place straight out of the Neverending Story, but I have so much love for the Double Oh. Said online date brought me here after dinner on our first date, because he knew one of the bartenders, and I was delighted at the prospect of shuffleboard, darts, and the digital juke box (none of which disappointed). The date is now my ex, and the aforementioned bartender (Katie) is now one of my besties, and 00 is still a place I love to go when I’m back in town.
I’m not going to say much about the smoke, because umm, it’s listed as a smoking parlor: deal or don’t come. This is a dive bar that has something to offer everyone who isn’t interested in being pretentious. I prefer coming on weeknights because it can get a bit rowdy on weekends, but afternoons are always great and chill. Major love for Katie, Vinny, and Jeff. Vinny introduced me to my absolute favorite drink years ago when I was looking for something a little different. The Gin Buck. That’s right, there are «sports bars» that make drinks with bitters. Go ask for one.

I liked that they had pinball, foosball, pool darts etc. The staff seemed nice enough. But the overall style of the place wasn’t my taste. It’s was sports bar like and the lights were far too bright. Though I like to smoke on occasion it turns out even with their efforts at keeping the place well ventilated it still bugs my respiratory system to be around that much smoke.

I am a fan of this place. Shuffle board~foozball~Darts~Pool~Music~ Locals. I warn you though, its a smoking bar and from the sounds of it, one of the only legal ones in california. So you can be sure people will be smoking indoors. Pretty good ventilation though. At first it looks dive bar-​ee but after a couple drinks, it feels like home. I would recommend this place if you are just going somewhere to hang out and chat with friends while playing some good bar games. Plus there is a taqueria right across the street :)

This is a great place to hang out and play pool. My daughter Rebecca and I have had many fun times here. I’m going to add a couple of pictures of us at the 007. This summer I’ve been watching their coed softball team play every Sunday… just wish I would have watched them last summer. They won the Champianship!

Been going to this place like 5+ years now since the Feds moved me into Santa Cruz’s W.P.P. (and after stealing it from an Ex-​girlfriend)…
Getting right to the point, It’s simply a great old skool legal smoking neighborhood bar with the amazing staff of Jeff, Rob, Duane, Vinnie, Katie, Eddie, Val, Kelly & Kathryn, catering to a very diverse and cool local 20’s-30’s crowd.
She offers three pool tables with decent pool cues (unlike those pieces of driftwood you find in other bars), «Free» (my immigrant Father’s favorite word) steel tipped (real) darts & five dartboards/​lanes, Free shuffleboard, Free video trivia, TVs everywhere and a jukebox that literally plays EVERYTHING. So if you’re like me and you judge a bar on it’s eclectic mix of music… This is home. I’ve literally heard everything in this bar ‘cept maybe Mongolian Throat Singing…
Do not take any of the previous «health & welfare» posts seriously as it’s a safe place under the eagle eyes of their veteran staff and bar regulars. Issues here are a very rare event as the bar self polices. Douchebags and «né’er do wells» (both foreign & domestic) are quickly and unceremoniously asked to slink bag from whence they came.
So in summation, If you like your bars dim, Your beer cold, Your drinks strong, Your staff attractive & friendly (with their attitude/​sarcasm levels set at «low» unless they know you and you tip lousy… {I said I was Sorry}) then this is the place for you, be you a local, a smoker, pool player, real (steel tip) dart player, drinker, party person, sports fan (Yes even the occasional Dodger or N.Y. Giants fan is welcome even tho’ this is a Giants, A’s, Niners, Sharks and sometimes Raiders bar), Nascar fan (during certain shifts), pirate, ninja, cowboy, cowgirl, winning coed softball team, hipster, hippy, tourist, blue collared folk, white collared folk, all veterans, surfers, retirees, food critics, rockabillies, rockabetties, trustafarians, tired bikers, the occasional off duty cop, people going to a show at the Rio, people coming from a show at the Rio, soccer players, teamsters, construction workers, contractors, patriots, tattoo artists, lawyers, millionaires, hundredaires (like me), friends and the occasional former New Yorker like me…
One more thing, IMHO Duane the bartender, who works Friday to Monday days, makes the best Bloody Marys in the county.

Crowds of (ex?)ska kids bombarded this bar recently before a show at the Rio. The place was packed, and there was only one bartender on duty. Usually, this spells disaster for thirsty patrons, but nope! He was on top of his game! Drinks were plentiful, quickly served, and the bartender was amiable. Win-​win-​win.
The bar itself was hugged in a smokey haze, but I think it makes for a good dive bar when there’s a fair amount of grossness to it. To quote Carl from the Simpsons when Moe was thinking of re-​doing Moes, «Oh, but Moe — the dank. The dank!» Carl knows what’s up.

I’m a pretty big fan of this place mostly because I smoke and I love to play pool, but I can see that if you were not interested in second hand smoke, You probs don’t wanna kick it here.
They do offer an obscene # of drunken activities to partake in. Pool, darts, scratchers (which I tend to purchase a lot of when drunk). The Bartenders are pretty awesome. Jeff, older guy, is a doll and always gives me big hugs. Big fan of their free drink chips as well, which they slip you if your prove yourself worthy.
The croud you will find here tends to not be the «best looking» and «most popular» crew in town, but it’s a mellow place to have a drink, a cig, and a game of pool pre-​gaming on a friday night.

One of my all time favorite bars and definitely my favorite in Santa Cruz. super chill with pool tables, darts, shuffle board, etc… The bartenders are always nice and it’s a great place to chill with friends to watch a sports game.

Plenty of pool tables, great jukebox, two HD screens, sports, full bar, atm and last place in Santa Cruz County that you can legally smoke and drink in. Sure, lots of places don’t enforce the smoking ban, by the One Double Oh Seven battled the legal world to allow it to continue to smoke. And smokey it is! Mixture of locals and college students.
I mostly go in late on Thursday nights and recently have been honored with washing glasses for Jeff. Bartender Jeff is the KING of Santa Cruz bartenders. This guy has hugged more women than Hugh Hefner and pours a good glass of booze.
A little local Santa Cruz history, the main part of the bar is the original bar from the Tea Cup which was destroyed in the earthquake of 1989. Mark Swanson (owner) was able to save it and install it. Looks pretty good still

This is a great place to go. Always has something fun going on from dart nights to pool nights to birthday parties, and holiday parties. The owners are big supporters of the armed forces and always do events to raise money to donate.
Keep in mind that this is the ONLY LEGAL SMOKING bar/​parol in the state. I know alot of people get pissed and mad when they come in and/​or hear you can smoke in it, but listen to the name One Double Oh Seven (1007) Smoking Parol and Bar. :hint hint: The owners have put lots of money and time into having it like this and is amazing cause there is no where else like it.

One of my favorite places to be:
Drinks are great (cherry kamiz, yum), bartenders are awesome, and the regulars are friendly! It’s also cleaned up nicely every night, so the divey build-​up isn’t there…
Best place in town for darts!

This bar is ok if you only drink beer. It’s a short walk to this bar from my friends house so we end up here from time to time… but I recently discovered that the alcohol is watered down.
After 4 mixed drinks my friend and I thought something was weird because we were dead sober and both of us are light drinkers. We had our boyfriends get us shots of vodka… which should have smelled and tasted horrible but they were so watered down!!!
I’ll probably return at the request of our friend but I probably won’t be drinking here!

Besides the clouds of cigarette smoke and lack of oxygen I am really a fan of this bar. They have every game you could want to play and moderately priced drinks. Your typical dive bar with a little extra flair. Don’t come here if you’re looking for anything more. you will be disappointed.
It’s only a walk from my friends house which makes it’s a little dangerous at times. If you’re over capitola and downtown the 007 makes for a good place in the middle. Crowd is always lively and gets packed at times. If you’re a local you will most likely see someone you went to high school with, and will be forced to say hi. Which can be good or bad.
Overall if you’re looking for a good time with your friends or even yourself hit up the 007 I doubt you will regret it.

Oh my god.
This place is out of a movie.
A bad bad movie.
It has a vibe like that bar in «Monster» outside of which Charlize’s character gets arrested.
Complete with cheep beer, gambling machines, REAL crappy (and loud) music, more-​than-​usual sleezy men, blatant prostitutes, ready-​to-​fight bar brawling idiots, students trying to be cool by chain smoking, drunk under-​agers, all wrapped up in a super super smokey package.
… all of which makes this a great place to play pool.
I almost passed out from secondhand smoke, but then again, I fucking hate that shit.
So if you love lung cancer, getting hit on in Spanish by men with gold wedding rings on, and being dogged by possibly-​transexual hookers… you’ll be fine.
