A dive bar of the highest order. If you're in Goleta and looking for a place to enjoy a relaxing bar (or cocktail), play a round of darts and maybe catch the game on TV, head to the Break Time. There are also pool and pinball tables, as well as the occasional live band. It's nice and dark in here, with just the right amount of off-season Christmas lights. Come as you are and don't worry about minding your language, we're all just here for a bloody drink! A true local's favorite for years. Plenty of free parking right out front.
