  Join fellow walkers at Hendry's Beach (aka Arroyo Burro Beach County Park) every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 8:40 to walk the beach, visit, make new friends and catch up with old friends, spot whales and dolphins, and get fresh air and exercise. We'll meet at the top of the stairs down to the beach, between The Boathouse restaurant and the lifeguard stand. Some of us walk fast, and some of us stroll. We suggest wearing appropriate shoes to walk on the beach or up to the nearby Douglas Preserve, when the tide is high. After the walk, we will often gather at the picnic tables near our starting point, and share a snack and conversation. Hope to see you there!

• TGIF: Dargan's Irish Pub

  • When
    January 16, 2026

    5:00 PM - 7:00 PM

    18 E. Ortega Street Santa Barbara, CA, 93101

  
  

  
  

  Dargan’s is a TGIF favorite. Come for a Guinness (or another one of their many beers, wines and drinks), play some pool and enjoy the warm Irish hospitality and classic Irish pub fare.

  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! Ample public parking is located next to Dargan’s on East Ortega.
