Don't be bummed if you have a hard time finding it! The Bobcat Room is sort of a bar within a bar. It's quiet(ish) cocktail lounge tucked inside the Wildcat, Santa Barbara's favorite dance club. To enter, you have to go into the club first, and then pass through some double doors to find the Bobcat, a much more mellow vibe, with handcrafted cocktails, comfortable seating, and a distinct lack of club music. There is a window through which you can watch the dance floor - great for voyeurs - but you will feel miles away otherwise. In summary, great cocktails, comfortable vibe, weird location? Or maybe it's the best of both worlds!

EXPERT TIPS BY:
Geneva Ives
Santa Barbara Local Expert
- Best Nightlife: "Ask what's local! The cocktail specials often feature freshly foraged ingredients like passionfruit, guava and mint."
- Recommended as Best Nightlife Because: If the Wildcat both intrigues and intimidates you, slip into the Bobcat Room, a slightly more intimate cocktail bar that is dance-club adjacent.
