Dargan's Irish Pub & Restaurant

Traditional Irish meals & beverages served in a warm, brick-walled interior with billiards & darts. Established in 1997. Although Dargan's Irish Pub in Santa Barbara was first established in October 1997, the name has been associated with public houses in Ireland since the beginning of the century. In 1902 Lawrence Dargan built a Pub and grocery to serve the small population of Cookstown, a market town in north of Ireland. He and his family ran a successful business, well known locally as a center of Irish traditional music and 'craic' (gaelic for 'good times'). His son Benny took over the pub when Lawrence retired. The tradition has spanned three generations, with Benny's nephew Paul and Dargan's Irish Pub & Restaurant here in Santa Barbara. Come on in and join us for the craic! Located in the heart of Santa Barbara at 18 East Ortega.
