Pour Taproom - Santa Cruz

I've never been to a place like this before, and I must say the concept is really impressive! I love the wide variety of options and the chance to sample whatever I want. The staff is very knowledgeable and attentive. There are pleasant melodies playing in the background, just at the right volume. I didn't get a chance to try the food, but everything that came out looked absolutely delicious. My favorite part is the self-service model—it’s completely self-serve! The screens are bright and user-friendly, and I appreciate that they provide some information about the beers on offer. Most of the selections are local, which is a big plus for me. They do have a wine selection, but it’s limited; I'm primarily here for the beer. You can learn more about the beers as soon as you leave, which is a neat touch. The seating is comfortable and plentiful. I highly recommend this place for both small groups and larger gatherings. It’s not really a spot to visit alone; it feels more like a social hub where you can meet new people and catch up with old friends over drinks.

This is a fantastic spot with an extensive selection of beers, wines, and ciders. They allow you to sample exactly what you want, which is a nice touch! However, a downside is the automatic 16% service fee added to your bill, and the limited seating since the place tends to be quite busy. Despite these drawbacks, I would return in a heartbeat, so I’m giving it a full 5 stars!

Incredible! They have a vast selection of beers—any kind you can think of. The atmosphere is very laid-back, quite different from typical places; I could easily spend all day here! There are at least 60 beers on tap. If beer isn't your thing, they also offer a variety of wines and hard ciders.

Damn, so many good beers from all over the world! German, Belgium, American and much more! The best, you can just try them all and the beer you will find as the best! The hot dog was also great!

Super fun! Great idea, we tried so many beers, ciders and sours. Food was just ok. Fun date place to try new drinks
