Figueroa Mountain Brewing - Santa Barbara

Endroit moyennement grand avec une dominante de bois massif et de tôle en terme d'ameublement. Présence d'une sympathique terrasse. Unité de brassage au fond de la salle. Bref, ça fait vraiment bar dans l'esprit, et c'est plutôt sympa. Pas mal de déceptions au niveau des bières cependant. C'est souvent très light et aqueux, malheureusement... Lors de notre passage, seule l'Imperial Red Ale s'en sortait vraiment bien.

Visited after Lama Dog, later in the evening so the place was slowly emptying. Wooden and industrial interior. 12 taps of their brews were on, wasn’t thrilled with the beer quality. Flights available. Good prices. Loud music. We sat at the bar, few quite drunk guys at the table behind us. I don’t have a problem with that, but the whole place didn’t strike me as a place where everything is about beer. Looking at the high score I expected something else.

Only beer stop in SB on a Labour Day afternoon. The place was busy. Weird rule, that you could not bring in your wine bottles you’d bought up the street - in my book that is bad service. Also hard to figure out who was in the door, who was cleaning tables, and who took orders, so inspite of having a table I bought beer at the bar, because the floor service was very slow. In the bar thing where different, good service, fast, and only 6 USD for 4 samplers. A bit weird decoration, concrete floor, lots of wood, get a feel of uptown, and a feel of surfer joint, extremely dark inside in the middle of the afternoon. Outside beergarden was full.

Stopped in here on the way to dinner with Patty, Andy and Kara. This is in the ’Funk’ zone of Santa Barbara they say. Yea, it’s mostly for the younger age set. Loud music, but very good beer!

Located in the Funk Zone, on the Urban Wine Trail, what a great location! Had been to the brewery, so wanted to check this out. The two of us had samplers and picked up a 6pk of their Double Red to go. Good service, no food but the server said that you could bring in or have it delivered. Figueroa makes solid beers, nice to see they are branching out with other locations.

Cool atmosphere, near the beach, fun and friendly staff and patrons. Beers were pretty good. I’d visit again.

Been here often. Great location near state street. Friendly staff and nice outdoor seating. Beer is some of the best in Santa Barbara. Only sell beer they brew and a few local wines, but a good variety of styles of beer. No food but will help deliver food from local place! Always a good time

Comments: Fun place, great location, crowded as hell with a bouncer at 2pm and live music inside. Outside seating as well. Interior is like stepping into a college Spring Break bar in the Bahamas. Beer cocktails and beer floats all around, we tried the beer daiquiri mixed drink. It was much too sweet, our group could not finish it. Loud and lively, perhaps overwhelming for a RateBeerian getting their tick on. As a regular venue, it is much more fun than your typical brewery tasting room. Flight available, customizable. Fun.

Visited on Thursday 1st May at 10.55 am, the doors were already open and they were happy to serve me. Finding this venue wasn’t totally straightforward and you need to go past A, B, C and D at the far end of block 137. It’s about a 5 to 10 minute walk from the main downtown area. FMB is a medium sided taproom with an outside patio, brew kit on display. Friendly service, although there were only 3 other customers during their first hour of trading. 18 beers on tap, all their own, $6 for 4x4oz samplers. Beers are displayed on electric menus. Got chatting to the brewer who was a friendly guy. I’d definately head back here again if I return to SB. Decent enough beers, good for ticks.

Overall awesome brewery, 12+ taps, all house beers, one barrel aged, a couple funky ones, several IPAs, good food, awesome.
