Worst bar in Santa Cruz creepy bald bartender makes girls feel uncomfortable they erase all the real reviews bartenders are rude and use profanity they don’t want anyone interfering with there coke deals
Astis is a great place to shoot pool. They have three tables so your chances of getting to play are good. The staff was nice and so are the patrons, even though they did play some really cheesy 80s music, lol.
I've often recieved free drinks from the other patrons or the bartender. Plus there's always people to play pool with. Overall a fantastic venue.
Strong drinks and poor service. Great if you go with friends, even better if they're friends with the bartender. Didn't get carded here - prolly good news for the under 21 crowd in Santa cruz
Bartender completely ignored us for 30 min. Helped others that came after. (Rated 1 star)
Update: we came back with friends who frequent and it was a much better experience. I think the bartender was going through it that other night. Very chill dive bar, lots of seating with 3 pool tables (coin machine if you have cash). Fresh beers and has a jukebox that can be used over an app. Bathrooms aren’t too bad either, there is a female bathroom which was nice because the guys one looked a little rough.

This bar is next to the basketball stadium downtown and I have never not seen it absolutely packed the pool tables are pretty beat but if you're here that's really the last thing on your mind isn't it?
If your not a regular or local be prepared to stand up for yourself and get unequal service. Atmosphere was nice, but the bartender was pretty rude. Bartender became a huge baby and had to shut off the music and publicly announce that I did not tip on a round that I just purchased. To be clear I don't leave tips on my card, I will use cash. Secondly at a bar I tend to be at for a while I'll tip in cash at the end of my night. He did NOT get a tip. Probably won't be going back
It says Cafe, but no snacks so far, just chips and $1 pool tables. Maybe they're just short staffed, idk. But you'd love their enthusiasm and competency. Although it's just a local dive bar they're definitely knowledgeable and professional...in multiple levels. Would definitely recommend for drinks, just hanging out, and/or playing pool. Especially because of their assertiveness and service. I definitely feel safe and comfortable playing pool and drinking here. Their music booth is nice and loud too. Also, they're not overpriced like most bars around the area. Check it out and give it a review yourself. With the right intentions I'll bet you'll have fun here.
