We buy our cheeses from a small family farm in Cambria called Step Ladder. It is our desire to work with other small businesses, humans working hard on things they are passionate about. It is our hope that you will find Crush Bar & Tap a safe space that is your home away from home.Īt Crush Bar we serve locally sourced goods for your dining pleasure. Believe for a moment that everything will be OK.ĭays after we opened Crush Bar, we realized that all of our staff (including the owners) identified as queer, so we decided to make Crush Bar an “official” Queer Bar, an all-inclusive space where all identities are welcome. While watching it, the idea of opening a safe space came to fruition, an “Apothecary” type of space but one that you could sit down, enjoy locally sourced wine, beer, snacks, and take a breath. We were lifted and inspired by the love, relationships and connection that made the show so incredible. Through Covid, the show Schitt’s Creek was a staple in our family. A safe space, an inclusive space, a loving respectful space for all to enjoy. And suffering for what did not yet exist here in Santa Barbara. A desire for love, understanding and connection with humanity. How did we get here? Crush Bar & Tap was conceived in desire AND suffering. The Crush Bar Mission Statement is simple: To provide a safe space for queer and marginalized communities to enjoy local beverages, snacks and entertainment.
