Cold Spring Tavern

By Felici Events

 

The Cold Spring Tavern is located ont he 154, San Marcos Pass Road, a quick 15 minutes from Santa Barbara.  For every minute drive, roll the clock back 10 years, because as you approach the restaurant, you immediately feel as if you are back in the mid 1800′s.  This secluded wooded location boasts history, and became the popular route of travel for stagecoaches.

Within Cold Spring Tavern, there is Blisshaven Gardens, a strategically built outdoor deck ideal for gatherings including weddings and rehearsal dinners.  There is something about the hundred year old bay trees and the creek that runs alongside that turns the dinner into a very special event.  Or, if you prefer an indoor affair, their two intimate private dining areas are just as magical, featuring lantern dinners and cozy decor.

What the Cold Spring Tavern is most famous for, are the Sunday afternoons.  These laid back days of summer take place in the perimeter of the restaurant with live music, authentic tri tip sandwiches made to order from an oversized grill and a scene of people watching including bikers who have made this their stop for years, just like the stage coaches over a century ago.

 

This is a Ceremony and Reception or Reception Only Venue.
