Discover Our StoryOur Story: From Jimboz to De La Vina
The building at 2711 De La Vina Street has long been a neighborhood staple, known for years as Jimboz Lounge and, before that, Freemans. In January 2018, a new chapter began.
The establishment was taken over and thoughtfully rebranded as De La Vina Lounge, honoring its iconic location while signaling a fresh start. The goal was to preserve the authentic, welcoming dive bar spirit that regulars loved, while making meaningful improvements for the community.
Since the rebranding, we've been committed to ongoing updates—from the recent remodel that refreshed our interior to enhancing our amenities. Our vision has always been to create a reliable, friendly, and vibrant hangout for Santa Barbara locals and visitors alike.

This location has been a part of the community's story for decades. We're proud to carry that tradition forward as De La Vina Lounge.
