Shanty Shack Brewing - Brewery in Santa Cruz - 138 Fern St, USA

So I have been in Santa Cruz x3 months and I have had about a lot of Calmex taco these ones get 10 for the price and delectable construction of flavors, the ladies and live Dj very nice Al though !

Great local brewery, always has great bands and the art is amazing. Awesome chill spot tucked away near Costco . Beer is on point with great rotation for the season. Indoor seating but outdoor seating usually gets you a great view of the stage . Legit food/snack menu.

Great little "nano" small batch microbrewery. I had the "Hell Yeah - Hazy IPA" and the "Harvey West Coast IPA", both were excellent. They also have food on Thurs, Fri, Sat, and Sun. Dog friendly. I will be going back. Parking is tight so you probably will park on the street, remember to pick up a parking pass.

I have to say now that I came back in 2023, this place hasnt lost it's mojo. I love this place. They take care of you and they look out for you. I pulled up Friday night and didn't leave me disappointed. I sincerely thank the people that work here for there patience and there hard work

Nice stop for a quick sour beer. Refreshing and lovely on a sunny day! Live band playing in the outside lot on a weekend. Major Austin live-music vibes!

The beers are on par with today’s micro brews. The current berry sour barrel aged is special, fruit sour profile. We were passing through town had to swing by. Canna cruz is right across the street so we could pick up some edibles while enjoying our brewskies. It was also tie dye Tuesday dollar or two off the brewskies. Great outside patio and stage. There was a DJ playing the jams but we didn’t stay long enough to fully appreciate his talent. This plas has a good vibe. The staff was friendly and helpful, allowing us to sample till we could lock in our choice. Hot dog stand in the street out front. They also have their own appetizers to choose from. Definitely check it out.

Really good beer! I was surprised the staff was not too friendly as I was coming from far though but enjoyed the beer. Ambiance is good. They have a nice terrasse outside as well.

One of my new favorite places as a local. Unassuming, private parking, really good beer. And really good pupu food. The cole slaw was really good after a mtb ride as were the tacos. She even gave us another salad after complementing her recipe. Very friendly. Not mobbed. Sorry I havent gone there sooner. I like darker beers like ambers. They seem to be hard to come by, but their red ale was quite good. They normally have a stout which I can do a blend. Didnt ask. A bunch of mtbrs there too. My new post ride fave now
