$10 Martinis: Happy Hour at The Ellwood
Let’s talk happy hour, because The Ellwood is absolutely crushing it. If you know me, or if you’ve read the home page of this website, you know I love a good martini.
Tucked into Goleta with coastal charm and a chic, laid-back vibe, The Ellwood has quickly become one of my favorite low-key spots to unwind. And their happy hour? Kind of incredible.
We’re talking $10 martinis (yes, you read that right), shaken just right, served icy cold, and totally irresistible. Whether you’re into a classic lemon twist or something a little more creative, their cocktail game is strong. Add in a lineup of shareable bites that go way beyond your typical bar snacks, and you’ve got yourself the perfect golden hour setup.
The menu is thoughtful and fresh, with seasonal touches and a few fun surprises, ideal for splitting with friends or hoarding for yourself (no judgment here). It’s the kind of place where one drink turns into two, and suddenly you’re ordering “just one more plate” because everything coming out of the kitchen looks that good.
If you haven’t checked out The Ellwood’s happy hour yet, let this be your sign. Cheers to crisp martinis, good company, and the kind of food that makes you want to linger a little longer.
