Bars in Solvang & the valley
A speakeasy behind a homebrew shop, an Irish pub, the Vaquero Bar pouring to midnight, a saloon open to 2am and a dive in an 1882 train depot, with hours.
Maverick Saloon
Paper money pinned to the ceiling, two-step lessons and bands most weekends at the Santa Ynez honky-tonk open since 1963, until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
Solvang nightlife
Solvang goes quiet early, but not everywhere. The Vaquero Bar pours until midnight, plus a vinyl lounge, karaoke in a windmill and a saloon that serves until 2am.
Where to eat near Chumash Casino
Handmade pasta at S.Y. Kitchen, falafel in a Santa Ynez pool hall and steaks at the Red Barn, a minute or two from Chumash Casino Resort. The resort is 21+, so families eat in town.
Weekend · Santa Ynez Valley
Live music in the Santa Ynez Valley this week
Maverick Saloon's weekend bands, Carhartt's back patio and the last of the winery Fridays. Dates, times and cover from each venue's own calendar.
