Where do you go late night if some members of your party want to enjoy an adult beverage while others do not? And where should you take a large group after dark? And what if you all need to blow off a little steam? The answer, friends, is Zodo's: Bowling & Beyond. Zodo's is not only Santa Barbara's singular bowling alley (and a mighty fine one it is, at that) but also it is one of the best places to enjoy draft beer, with over 40 varieties on tap. In addition, there are many tasty snacks, like Irish Nachos... aka cheese fries. And private parties? Yeah, it can accommodate you and about 549 of your closest friends. Free parking right out front.

Santa Barbara Local Expert
- Goleta's Best Bars: "Zodo's has two happy hours: one from 4-7 and another one from 9 or 10 (depending on the day) until midnight!"
- Best Nightlife: "Although Zodo's may seem a very far nine miles away from downtown Santa Barbara, you'll find it quite reasonable to split a cab there with friends."
- Early Entertainment: "Although Zodo's may seem a very far 9 miles away from downtown Santa Barbara, you'll find it quite reasonable to split a cab there with friends."
- Best for Goleta's Best Bars, Best Nightlife Because: Where else can you enjoy a cocktail while winning a stuffed animal from one of those grabby arcade machines? Pretty much nowhere.
- Best for Early Entertainment Because: Zodo's is the perfect destination for all-ages fun in the evening. Enjoy bowling, arcade games and dozens of beer on tap.
