    ‘O’ Bar + Kitchen

    Goleta, Santa Barbara

    Bar in Santa Barbara, United States

    Why go

    ‘O’ Bar + Kitchen is a good call for ocean-view drinks, agave cocktails, and shareable modern Latin plates at The Ritz-Carlton Bacara. Treat it as a polished resort bar with a strong terrace, not as a chef-driven destination dinner, and the value proposition makes more sense.
