About Santa Cruz Nightlife

When the sun goes down, Santa Cruz gets its second wind. Neighborhood bars and pubs are popular, of course, but if your tastes run deeper, check out our other Santa Cruz nightlife selections. Whatever your inclination, sit at the bar and relax with a cold beer, a glass of pinot noir, or a classic martini, and be sure to chat with whoever happens to be nearby – you may make a new friend or a valuable business contact. Our guide includes the hottest Santa Cruz clubs and bars as well as the coziest hole-in-the-wall spots.
