Lama Dog is the perfect place for a Newcomers' happy hour, offering a relaxed vibe that captures the best of Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone. While it's famous for its craft beer selection, the bar also serves up excellent cocktails and wine to ensure there is something for everyone! When hunger strikes, you can grab a delicious bite from The Nook, which serves elevated bar snacks & comfort food on-site. The spacious, open-air layout makes it easy to mingle and move around, providing a fabulous environment for Newcomers to connect, enjoy a quality drink and hang out with friends!

TGIF events are a great way to start the weekend in a fun, relaxing setting. At TGIF, you will make new friends, catch up with existing friends and get to know the local restaurants and bars. This is a pay-as-you-go event, and no registration is required. The event is open to Newcomers and graduates, and attendees can bring a friend along, too!
