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.

Short Version
HIGHLY recommend Validation Ale for any events or if you’re looking for a cool venue to hang and have a drink with friends

Long Version
We were looking for a place that could host our Welcome Party for our wedding weekend. However, we weren’t certain on how many of our guests would show up, so we needed a venue that was flexible. Brian told us to not worry and he would take care of it. He was so chill and easy to work with that it felt unreal. Day of—the staff was incredible, drinks moved quickly, and we received countless compliments on how great the welcome party was.

Just walking through the Funk Zone in Santa Barbara and came across this lively place. The atmosphere is welcoming and the beers that we had were delicious. Too bad we only had time for two beers but those were quality and we would come back again. My husband liked their Thai lemongrass saison and I loved the golden coffee ale! It smelled like coffee and tasted like coffee and beer with some sweetness and a smooth mouth feel. 🤤
