Great Irish pub with authentic Irish food. I had the lamb stew. I went back for the full Irish breakfast the next day - delicious. What a treat! It's a spacious comfy pub with lots of TVs to watch football and soccer and pool tables at the back. The service was great, with a nice relaxed atmosphere. A pleasant place to hang out and watch a game.

Atmosphere & Vibe • Authentic Irish Pub: The pub is praised for its traditional, warm, brick-walled interior, dark green walls, and decor that evokes a sense of history, including a "Guinness for Strength" mural. • Social Hub: It's considered a social hub with a lively, festive, and high-energy environment, which some reviews refer to as having great craic (Gaelic for "good times"). • Layout: The pub features two main areas: a front room that is sometimes described as a bit younger/rougher and includes pool tables/billiards, and a second bar/dining area. • Events: It is known for hosting traditional live Irish music and dancing, often on Thursday evenings. Food & Drink • Traditional Fare: Many patrons appreciate the traditional Irish meals and pub favorites. The menu offers a classic selec

Fun atmosphere. Music playing with big screen tvs playing sports and music videos. Not to loud not to talk and have a good time. You can rent the billboard tables by the hour. It's a great deal to spend time together, $12 an hour. We just got the popcorn shrimp while shooting pool. It was hot and delicious.

Dargan’s has become our go-to hangout while we’re waiting to supercharge our Tesla in Santa Barbara. It’s super convenient, just downstairs from the charging station and the vibe is always laid-back. We usually swing by right when they open, and it’s nice and quiet. Perfect spot to grab a drink, share some appetizers, and even catch up on a bit of work if needed. Huge shoutout to our favorite bartender, Shane he’s always so nice and accommodating, and really makes the place feel welcoming every time we stop by. Solid food, chill atmosphere, and great service. Definitely a hidden gem for EV drivers looking to recharge both their cars and themselves.

We went for St.Paddy's Day hoping for some Irish music. There wasn't any. It was SUPER LOUD!! Even shouting to each other it was impossible to hear. The music was fun to sing along with and the people watching was amazing. The Fish and Chips were good. Huge portions. I don't know how the waitstaff could hear anything, but we all got what we wanted. It was fun to see how people dressed too. It was absolutely freezing that night, and the wind was blowing hard, and most of the women were dressed super scantily. In things you'd wear to the beach. Guys were in jeans and sweaters. Lol
