Drinking

Downtown overflows with bars, hookah lounges and coffee shops.

Caffe Pergolesi CAFE

(www.theperg.com; 418 Cedar St; 7am-11pm; ) Discuss conspiracy theories over stalwart coffee, tea or beer at this way-popular landmark cafe in a Victorian house with a big ol’ tree-shaded veranda overlooking the street. Local art hangs on the walls, with live musicians some evenings.

Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing BREWPUB

(www.santacruzmountainbrewing.com; Swift Street Courtyard, 402 Ingalls St; noon-10pm) Bold organic brews are poured at this tiny brewpub, squeezed between Santa Cruz Mountains wine-tasting rooms just west of town off Mission St (Hwy 1). Oddest flavor? Olallieberry cream ale.

Vino Prima WINE BAR

(www.vinoprimawines.com; Municipal Wharf; 2-8pm Mon-Tue, 2-10pm Wed-Fri, noon-10pm Sat, noon-8pm Sun) Near the far end of the wharf, with dreamy ocean views, this spot pours California boutique wines, including hard-to-find bottles from Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties.

Surf City Billiards & Cafe BAR

(www.surfcitybilliards.com; 931 Pacific Ave; 4-11pm Mon-Thu, 4pm-1am Fri & Sat, 10am-11pm Sun) A relief from downtown’s dive bars, this upstairs pool hall has Brunswick Gold Crown tables for shooting stick, pro dartboards, big-screen TVs and pretty good pub grub.

Verve Coffee Roasters CAFE

(www.vervecoffeeroasters.com; 816 41st Ave; 6am-7:30pm Mon-Fri, 7am-8:30pm Sat, 7am-7:30pm Sun; ) To sip freshly roasted artisan espresso, join the surfers and internet hipsters at this industrial-zen cafe. Single-origin brews and house-made blends rule.

Firefly Coffee House CAFE

(131 Front St; 5:30am-6pm Mon-Sat, 7am-2pm Sun; ) Bohemian indoor/outdoor people’s coffeeshop brews organic, fair-trade java and delish chai flavored with orange zest and an Indian bazaar’s worth of spices.
