Dennis' Classic yet Modern Capitola Bungalow
Great for Dinner and Drinks
Iconic, historic, delicious, entertaining, and very scenic! This is a must see/do for travelers and locals alike. Walking distance from the house but, they offer FREE taxi service (pick up and drop off) in their cool nostalgic taxi cars to locations within the 2 mile radius--bonus because the house is in! Plan a head though, as reservations are often needed for dinner.

Great place for all things meat! A little on the upscale side for a beach community but, don' let that deter you; it is still a relaxed and causal setting. Center courtyard is a great spot for evening dinning and the place has a fantastic bar. Plan ahead though, as reservations are often needed.

One of my go to spots for great Brew and casual eats. They craft a wide variety of brew in many traditional and fusion styles and are always super accommodating. The facility is great and upstairs is always a great spot for a large group as well. They offer their own delicious light food fare and or your can bring your own food in. They also often promote local talents and have live music, food fairs, pop-up kitchens, craft fairs, and local causes. An all around community haven. The addition of the beer garden outside during COVID-19 has been a huge success as well.
