The new outdoor performance space at Moe's Alley called "The Yard" is delightful! Sunny, well lit, and cozy in all the right ways, care was placed in creating the stage. The colorful mural is a nice touch! Moe's does well opened up to the fresh air!

Great spot for brunch! DJ, patio or bar seating, clean, delish food by Firefly, must show proof of covid vaccine or negative test for entry (let’s support our local business’ friends!), extensive selection of adult beverages

Great venue for an intimate evening with your favorite musicians. Heavy on the Rasta reggae music this venue has established a strong following for locals of Santa Cruz as a place for a comfortable chill evening. With a bar outside and tacos being served, this bar pumps out drinks and the prices are not ridiculous

Nice live music venue in Santa Cruz. Shoes start late but worth it if you are staying in the area or live here. I met lots of locals. Cover charge, so drinks and snacks are not expensive. There is usually a taco bar in the back. The patio area in the back has a live TV screen. Was here for Parker Millsap with Alexa Rose opening up with melancholy songs. Then came Parker Millsap! Wow that boy can sing. I love his energy and his music and amazing originals. It was certainly a treat to see him, live and up close. Looking forward to the next concert here !!

Great place to come enjoy a good night! First time last night and I’m so upset I haven’t been here before! Indoor and outdoor accommodations, two bar stations and layout provides a great flow. Band was amazing yesterday! Danced all night! Only suggestion is maybe more wall fans in the dance floor area, but that it self just says how popular it was last night.

Audrey was so nice letting me borrow a Sharpie to have the Slackers sign my deck. Best Venue in Santa Cruz. My cougine’s The Slackers should do a Tomboy session. The staff is awesome

Updated venue as of five years ago. The new owners have embellished the place with a beautiful outdoor space, murals, outdoor seating and speakers and a great taqueria Agave stand so no more starving while waiting for the headliner. Great community and music 🎶 …
