Validation Ale

This place is absolutely wonderful!! The staff, the vibes, the drinks…everything was amazing!! We watching a Sunday football game and made plenty of friends throughout. The food was delicious. I even bought a shirt so I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area.

We were strolling by about 10 minutes before they opened, peeked in and the owner welcomed us in for a few tastes. What a clean space, well branded, friendly and, of course, a cool concept of beer validation. It’s a smart person’s brewery! And the beers are amazing! Cites butt down was my fave, and a clever name.

Lily is spectacular! Every time we come she fills the room with kind energy. Great bartender, and books the greatest bands. Highly recommend Friday nights. :-) Just moved here, this place feels like home

Had a good experience after strolling into the Validation Ale in SB to get out of the drizzly weather on New Year’s Eve Day. The young man at the register was very cordial and efficient. The atmosphere was really chill. The food came fast! I was excited to try hop water for the first time. It was good! I hope to visit them again under better weather conditions next time I visit.

We found Validation Ale from a recommendation on a walking tour in town. It was amazing! We had two flights of great beer. A huge variety for everyone to enjoy. We had the most delicious pastrami Rueben!!! And the smash burger was so good even in taco form. The prices were very reasonable for the quality. Great customer service. Everyone was helpful and friendly!! Don’t skip this stop on your trip to the Funkzone.

Chill environment. They had outdoor activities. Music playing inside. There was street side bar seating. We got the wings. They were delicious and hot the sauce on the side.

A great brewery. Session hazy was tasty with some sweet afternotes. Hibiscus margarita was strong and the hibiscus was sweet and tangy. Fries great too. Recommend.

Beer is good, but $20 + tax and tip for 46.9% Wagyu genetics beef cubes in a hot dog bun smothered in teriyaki syrup is not so good.

Shoutout to Angela R. and Jara S. For turning me on to this spot. I've watched these friends post about this spot and share how great they are, so I was eager to try them out. Validation ale is the cool place to be. It was definitely one of the busiest spots we stopped in at the funk zone. Indoor and outdoor seating, this spot is impressively massive. I love how on the outdoor space they have games and make it a very social setting. We opted for inside but near their patio chairs for some people watching and hangs. As busy as it was, I appreciated that they had both registers open and we didn't wait at all. They were on top of service here and it was great how quickly the drinks and food were done. Staff here are friendly and on top of it. While they are known for their ale, I appreciated that they had a cool cocktail menu for an ale house. Extra kudos points to them. For my cocktail I went with the blueberry bramble. I'd say it was a 4 out of 5. I appreciated the presentation, color, and taste. Again, just happy for those who are bar hoping I could keep up with my cocktails here opposed to having to go with a beer. The real stunner was the chicken karaage appetizer my friend and I spilt. Honestly, a really nice surprise! I didn't expect their chicken to rival other more authentic Asian restaurants. Dark meat chicken it was juicy and the batter was light and flavorful. Served with ranch which I wasn't expecting but they have good ranch so it was a win. Really a solid appetizer and I would highly recommend splitting this with your table mates. 5/5 for an app. Validation ale was a good time and there is so much more for me to try here that I'll definitely be back soon.

I love coming here whenever I'm in the area. This place is full of energy and always a good time! Whether you're coming here solo or with a group, it's a place that's always poppin. They have a great outdoor area with cornhole to keep you or the kids entertained. They also have live bands Tuesday & Thursday, as well as bingo night, trivia and pop-up markets. I'm not a huge beer drinker, but the ones I've had here are always good. You can ask for a sample too, which is great when you're not familiar with beer types. They also offer gluten-free beer, local wine, seltzer, ciders, kombucha and now cocktails! I tried the Passion Fruit Spritz, made with vodka, Lillet Rosè, and PF. It was very refreshing and enjoyable. Premium spirits are also available. The food here is always delicious! I've had the burger, totchos (tater tot nachos), truffalo cauliflower, fries, and recently the Gochujang fried chicken sandwich. I don't have a big appetite, but I could have easily eaten two of the chicken sandwiches! I hope they keep this one on the menu.

Came into Validation Ale on Juneteenth early in the afternoon and the place was completely packed. What blew me away was that there was only one person working behind the bar, and they were handling it all very well. They were pouring beers, making cocktails, taking orders, clearing glasses and empty plates as fast as they could, answering questions, and somehow still being friendly and patient with my wife and I who took forever to order. I don't know how they managed to keep their cool, but they did it better than most teams of three or four. It was impressive to watch and even more impressive to be on the receiving end of such solid service under pressure! Whoever that bartender is, they deserve serious recognition. But maybe give that person some backup next time.

Stopped in with my amiga and I were visiting from Ventura County. Located at the Funk Zone and busy busy when we got there. Great vibes! Staff was super nice and gave of tastes of different drinks until we decide what we wanted. I got the hibiscus kombucha, it was good! My friend had a marg and it was strong. She is not much of a drinker , so for her , it was too strong. We didn't taste any of their food but it looked good.

Love this spot! We try and come every time we visit SB. Great beer, the food looks great and we can't wait to try it next time. The space itself is gorgeous, and it has plenty of outside space for the kiddos to run around. Love people watching from the seats facing the street too. Gem of a spot!

We stopped in for sandwich week and got the gochugang Korean chicken sandwich. Loved then pickle on top! I think everyone's fav were the wings, tater tots, and smash burger. The setting is fun as there is an outside area to play games. An hour of jenga and our party was satisfied. Plus, staff were kind and helped with recommendations.

Our visit: Disorganized when it came to bringing our food out. Server took our order number before our full order came out. I had to go talk to the cashier to explain that we were still waiting on another order. The beer was alright, it tasted watered down. I'll definitely come back for the food. (3 stars for food)

Emma is the best beer tender I've ever met! She made our experience unforgettable and added a few laughs along the way. Will definitely be returning! Thank you Emma!

I was seriously craving a cheesesteak sandwich and stumbled upon Validation Ale--not expecting much, but wow was I wrong. Their Trip Sandwich, done Philly-style, totally blew me away! Perfectly seasoned meat, melty cheese, soft bread--it was everything I wanted and more. Honestly, one of the best cheesesteaks I've ever had. Great food, great vibes--I'll definitely be back!

Incredible spot in the funk zone. Maybe it was the magic of being home for the holidays but I really enjoyed this spot. The open patio concept allows for a child-friendly yet adult-fun experience. Mobile ordering is a plus, although it was down when I went. I suspect it was due to the approaching NYE reservation. Regardless of the hiccup there I was able to order quickly at the bar and everything came out piping hot within minutes. Sandwich was excellent, the locality of tri-tip but the invention of making it Philly style. Chips on the side were nice.

I came here for the first time today on a lunch date. I ordered a Caesar salad and my date ordered the spicy chicken sandwich, which he had had before. The salad was a little heavy on the dressing, but still yummy. You can tell that they really take care of the place and checked on us as well (we sat at the bar). The establishment is clean, airy and welcoming.

Always a must when visiting the Funk Zone! A group of 8 of us stopped in on a Saturday afternoon. The place was packed, but we were able to find a table inside. The line to order wasn't too long, servers were incredibly friendly and helpful and stayed calm despite how busy it was. I loved that there are wine and cocktail options beyond beer - something for everyone! My husband had the Blueberry Bramble and I had the Hibiscus Margarita - both were delivered quickly and were solid drinks! The truffle fries are.a.must! For parking, we always just park at the train station and take the short walk over.

I have been to Validation a few times. I enjoy the variety and selection of beers. I have tried the food at the Funk Zone location and Annex. The burgers are quite good and small bites are easy to share with a large group! I recommend either spot for a casual night out.

Bomb food, beer, and atmosphere! Our waitress Emma straight killed it. She made everything super easy and accommodating. We'll be back along with all of our peeps type shit

Emma and Lily were the bomb. We wouldnt be here without them. 85 characters is kind of a big ask

Emma and Lilly were awesome. They made all the difference. Also loved the smash burger

Stumbled upon this brewery/distilley and we're glad we did. Open with lots of seating and space to socialize or play corn hole. Kid friendly. We loved their beer options and a side menu of cocktails which I didnt get to try but will next time we stop in.

Great vibes and solid drinks. I got the Blueberry Bramble, and my boyfriend grabbed a beer. They were both solid, high quality drinks. The ambiance in this place is great; there's plenty of open space as well as a huge window to "people watch" at the adjacent street. They were also playing some of my favorite 70s rock music on the stereo. Everyone was relaxed and happy; it's a chill place where you can really take your time. Highly recommend stopping by for a more leisurely drink and good conversation with friends!

Beer, wine, cider, delicious vittles, and even special Trivia Nights. Also a perfect spot for viewing sports events on the various big screens. Thanks Matt, Kaity, Brian, Ervin, and all the VA staff for taking such good care of all of us. Conveniently located in the heart of the Santa Barbara Funk Zone.

We were exploring the funk zone and stumbled upon an artists fair out front of this place. Upon the artists suggestion we decided to go in for lunch. So glad we did! I got the warm butter lobster roll with house chips and hubby got the smash burger. They have a cooler beside the bar to get non alcoholic drinks in yourself and there is a tap outside of the cooler for water. You order and then sit. The food came out out in a reasonable amount of time and the flavor was so good! I wish the lobster roll came with a little side of butter but other than that tiny improvement it was a great experience.

Love the layout of the bar, and we were there when they had live music, which is very cool. Service was excellent. We got the lobster roll and wings. The lobster roll was very good. My biggest disappointment was the wings- fairly pricey but out of the 9 wings, only 2 were the Drummetes.

Emma at the bar top was so friendly I didn't know what I wanted and she took her time to explain the different types of beers on tap and even offered her personal favorites. Great customer service and definitely will be coming back when I'm in SB

Always great atmosphere and awesome staff! It's nice to have such positive vibes in the heart of the funkzone. Thank you Emma and Alyssa for making our group's day!

What a great spot to watch Sunday football. It is pretty spacious with indoor and outdoor seating. I really like that they put what teams are playing on which TV. They have food, beer and ciders. This place is dog friendly.

We had gotten to Santa Barbara early and not many places were open yet at 11:30 am on a Monday morning. As we were wondering around this friendly gentleman asked if we needed help finding anything. We said someplace to grab a bite and maybe a beer.... He recommended Validation Ale up the street which was open and serving food. And wouldn't you know it.... Not only was he a client but he was also the owner. We decided to take his recommendation and give it try. Beautiful location which I bet on a warm evening is packed with people but more importantly packed with people having fun. There was only one other customer in there when we were there but this place had a great vibe and energy even empty. This is someplace I'd hang out with my friends. Had the flight of four with an additional taster. All very good drinkable and good beers. My favorite was the Cold IPA. Decided I'd best order something to eat and opted for the turkey sando. Huge sandwich with lots of smoked turkey, bacon and tomatoes. Very good. My only disappointment is that they don't distribute outside of Santa Barbara. I guess I'll have to come back here again to enjoy the friendly staff, their good munchies and their amazing beer. Thanks Brian for stopping to help us out and directing us to your place. We appreciate the hospitality.... and of course the beer.

I was here for a private event but provisions were limited so I decided to step into Gen Pop and get some food and drink. It was also during NBA playoffs, so I wanted to check the tv screens. Ordered the burger and it was so damn good. Really impressed. And I'm not a yelp slut fanboy. I don't pimp food unless it's truly worthy. This burger was. Had a Pilsner to start and then went with some coffee flavored Guinness type concoction that was ..: immaculate. Very impressed. Lot of options in the funk zone. This one isn't quite as "intimate" as others may be. But they bring it. I'm not an SB local but I pass through frequently. I'd go back.

Great brewery, great indoor outdoor seating. Self serve, go at the counter. Place orders and sit at your table. Didn't try any of the food but seems like typical bar food

I visited Santa Barbara and I checked out 5 different breweries and pubs. This was hands down my favorite! The buffalo wings were to die for. The staff was very friendly and it was nice to see the owner was actually one of the bartenders. The ambiance was really nice and they had TVs to watch a game. I had their "pink lemonade" sour beer and it was really good. I came back the next day for another one. I'll definitely be back.

(Drank/Dined 12/07/23 TH @ 2:00pm): This was certainly a valid ale house along with a kitchen! Validation Ale was how I ended a busy day with a local realtor as we looked at and toured potential investment multifamily rental properties across Santa Barbara. I always searched my locale for any local breweries to give them a try. In this particular case, I found myself in Santa Barbara's "Funk Zone", and by default they were the only opened brewery. Would their ale prove to be validation of worthy brews and a wonderful day spent in Santa Barbara!?

She was attentive, charming, provided good chatter, and all of my orders arrived quickly. Damn... what more could you ask for!? It Was a fabulous time! PARKING (Varied; $3.00 this instance) No private lot, I parked at the nearby Hotel Californian Towne Park public parking structure and paid the rate (1st 60 minutes FREEf, then $3.00/hour). Otherwise, there was very limited street parking along the main drag of Yanonali St. and other surrounding roads. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE An open spacious layout with an onsite brewing facility, a ton of places to sit, charging stations, a long bar with barstools, and minimal decorations except for Christmas stuff. Plenty of natural lighting came in through the large openings, while various electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were many flat screen TVs throughout while Indie Rock music (e.g. Cage The Elephant, The Kooks, Blur) played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=6xoaEhvTLY_S2CjLfIaSBA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I had a blast at Validation Ale and would definitely return to try their other beers (14 on tap as of this date). Their food was lovely and appreciated, it was a relaxing place, the service was killer, and the beer prices were comparable (beer flights also available). The food menu varied enough and not just bar snacks. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $58.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

I had the MOST amazing Spicy grilled Chicken sandwich. I wolfed it down. It comes with homemade potato chips. I washed it down with the Puppy Ale. My daughter enjoyed playing corn hole in the outdoor patio.

The food was really really good. Everything is authentic and made in house. I got the burger, the meat was so delicious. It was a smash burger so you could taste all the flavors. The aoli was so good. The fries were delicious as well. The food came out really quick, probably like 5-10 minutes after ordering. The service was okay, the man taking orders was not too friendly unfortunately. The ambiance had a fun vibe to it, they have games & lots of televisions. It's a great place to chill or start the night off.

Great brewery to hit up with a group and kick back some beers in the Funk Zone. I really like the open floor concept--it's spacious and has a fun, energetic vibe. I had the flight, and all the beers were tasty across the board. It does get pretty packed on the weekends, so it's not the spot if you're after something more laid-back. But if you're in the mood for a lively scene with solid brews, it's a great pick.

The food, staff and ambiance are great! Lots of fun live music! We love going to Validation Ale!

So much fun. We went for our daughter's birthday they had a 80's band. Had a wonderful time.

On my way through - Seattle to San Diego. Great beer!!! - Right up there with the best in San Diego! Had a veggie wrap - also amazing!!

This was a nice place to watch some football in the afternoon while sipping on some craft beers. They have a nice indoor space with roll-in windows along the street where you can sit inside with bar-style seating. These seats are western-facing so you can get a lot of sun in the afternoon (yes, even in January). There is a good variety of craft beers and a couple of creative seltzers, but the really interesting aspect of the beer menu over the bar is the real-time scoring of the validated beers versus the contenders. Definitely a great place to order a flight. Food was good, highlighted for us by the buffalo cauliflower that paired nicely with a light beer. You can order from your seat here and the servers will bring your food and drinks to you, but go up to the bar at least once to check the battle for validation. Be mindful that their online menu was not 100% up to date with the current daily menu. The day that we went we were looking forward to having some tots but got there and found they were not on the menu. The truffle fries were a sufficient stand-in

Me and my girlfriend went and we got the lobster roll which was good (3.5/5), tacos FANTASTIC 5/5! And Honey Beer pretty good too 4/5 :)

This is a fun place to grab a beer. It's a great atmosphere, and I would say in line with the atmosphere of Funk Town. It's fun and laid back. The beers here are the highlight. The beers are pretty good. There's a decent selection of styles, and all are pretty good. This is a nice place to relax and enjoy a drink.

We have always walked by this place on our way back to our car and have wanted to check this place out and finally we did. The vibe in here is fun the layout is nice and open and the pictures don't do its justice. We asked for some recommendations and the woman who helped us was quick to make a few recommendations including their new cocktails that started this weekend! Since my partner and I usually do beer and cocktails this was perfect. Love how friendly and nice the staff is will be coming back again :)

WOW! This Brewery is on a different level. From the hydraulic folding windows, to the custom 3D printed tap handles. Someone isn't settling for the status quo. Now for the brew. Incredible. As a ale drinker exclusively and finding this place by accident the experience was over the top. The brewer here gets it. I had a few minutes to speak with him and knowing his back ground tells a story. But after tasting his " Cold IPA" ( Mo Frosty) we were sold on VA Brewery. A must visit brewery when in Santa Barbara.

This is our second time coming to Validation Ale and it continues to be a hit! The beers rotate frequently depending on popularity but there always is a good selection. We love the tatchos (tater tot nachos) and the chicken wings are really good too. There's lots of TVs to watch games and outdoor seating as well. One of our favorite places to go in the funk zone :)

We went to Validation Ale on a Saturday afternoon, and I'd say about 20% of the crowd was under the age of four. I'm certainly not complaining--we rolled in with six adults and four kids, and it was pretty ideal for us. There was this one restless one-year-old who kept toddling around, trying to pet every dog and go through every doorway, but, well, that was my son. Validation is a vibrant brewery in the Funk Zone with a ton of space and a nice, open indoor/outdoor set-up. It gets busy, but we had no problem finding a table for our large party, with room to park a couple strollers. We settled in next to the outdoor play area, where my kids entertained themselves in brief spurts with some large wooden dice and jumbo Jenga blocks. There was also a lawn with cornhole and other games for older children and adults. The brewery was decorated for the holidays with a tree and several oversized Christmas ornaments. My sixteen-month-old had many opportunities to deploy his three favorite words: "ball," "lights," and "dog." There was some kind of QR code system for ordering, with checks tied to our table numbers. Not my favorite thing, but easy enough, and we got our drinks fast. I was chasing my kids around and didn't interact with a single Validation employee except maybe to apologize for my wandering baby. The beers were great. My husband and I shared a mix of tasters and pints, and most of the brews we tried were winners. The Double Hazy and the CaraFull Hazy were delicious, as was the Mo Frosty IPA and the Amber Rye. The only one I didn't like was the Holiday Ale, which tasted like a mouthful of cloves, but it was still worthwhile to sample something different. We spent almost two hours at Validation, a successful visit with lots of good beer and zero baby meltdowns. I look forward to coming back for more fun outings with friends and assorted children.

Food is great , salads , burgers , beer selection , ambiance and dog friendliness. A great spot , I like that they open for lunch on weekdays

Have loved Validation Ale since it opened and have been here a number of times. Though the "validation" concept is a bit "different", the food and beer are very much good enough to keep me coming back :-) I really enjoy the "smashburger" even though they add jalapenos and they don't come with caramelized onions its still a very tasty burger and a good sized one as well. The shoestring fries are great but the potato chips that come with the burgers are just-so-so, so... spring for the extra fries or tots. Also, if you like your burgers more keto-style with a lettuce wrap (like my wife does), you may be a bit disappointed as its really just a burger (which is good) between two pieces of lettuce and near-impossible to eat like that so double check with them and be sure they give you some more greenery to handle the burger :-) Beer wise this place really shines IMO. They do it all from Pilsner style lagers all the way through stouts with some really creative things in between like a cream ale and a golden mocha light stout. The validation thing, where the beers that are most ordered stay on the board and the lesser ordered ones fall off means the hop-heads usually have plenty to choose from, but in fairness, they always seem to have something good and creative when I'm in, so there you go :-) Service is great with the classic "order at the counter/ get the food delivered" set up which works well and moves fairly quickly. However, if you're observant you may notice a small QR code plaque on the edge of your table. This will allow you to view the menu, customize your order and have it delivered to your table :-) Service was quick both ways though even on a crowded Saturday. Always a pleasant experience here :-)

I'm a big foodie and I love trying new places. When I travel, I have to hit up everywhere on my list and I rarely, if ever, repeat. However, Validation Ale deserved a repeat. During our recent trip to Santa Barbara, we came here with our toddler and our baby in search for a family friendly spot with good food and drinks. This place fit the bill. The service was great, everyone working was incredibly friendly and helpful. The drinks were delicious. And food was awesome. There was great music. And cornhole was a fun game for our kiddo. Like I said, we went twice during our trip because in our opinion it was one of the best most family friendly places in the Funk Zone, and the food was great!

Was in SB for a few hours and wanted to grab a bite before heading home...love the location, the vibe not to mention the food and beer were great!

My husband and I love coming here on date night get a beer and some wings or even the poppers. Just like the area.

Such a great concept that not only encourages you as a patron to try something different, but helps local brewers try to break into the vast world of craft beer! And of course, Santa Barbara being very dog friendly I give kudos to VA using their left over grains to make little treats for everybody's fur children.

Went in on a Thursday afternoon during lunch as I was told the food here is great and they did not disappoint! The service was amazing as the staff gave us recommendations and made sure that we were comfortable wherever we sat. We ordered the Fried Chicken Sando, Truffle Fries, and the Karaage Nuggets and they were delicious! The nuggets and fries are shareable if you come with friends! 10/10! As for the beer, they have a great selection as my boyfriend ordered the Double Hazy IPA and he loved it. He said "it wasn't as IPA-ey as most IPA's so it can appeal to lots of folks". They also let you sample anything before you commit. Great spot for grabbing a beer, getting some good bites, or even just working with a great view of the Funkzone! Also plenty of TVs all around so you won't miss a game!
