Taverns have flourished along Santa Ynez’s Sagunto Street since 1906. Sixty years ago, four busy bars entertained the locals and visitors alike. These establishments were named Last Chance, the Bum Steer, Parker’s and the Maverick Saloon. While three of the four original taverns have since disappeared into history, the legendary Maverick Saloon is still going strong and continues to be a staple in the Santa Ynez valley.In 1963, Jerry and Diane Thompson bought nine bare lots from publisher tycoon Hastings Harcourt. Plans were drawn up for a museum, restaurant, two-story hotel and the Maverick Saloon, which is named after a TV series starring James Garner. A few years later (approx. 1968) the barn was built next to the saloon. To achieve an antique look, the Thompsons used materials salvaged from demolished Victorian houses. The barn’s history began as the “Lulubelle’s Restaurant” and a tool rental facility. The barn and dancehall became a permanent part of the Maverick Salo

    We had a wonderful birthday lunch at Stonehouse. All the food was delicious and the service wonderful. i had the Branzino and it was perfectly cooked and had a delicious sauce. I loved that it was served with artichoke hearts, a great combination. All the servers were friendly and helpful. The only thing I would change would be the bread, I prefer sourdough and maybe add a caramel dessert. We had the bananas foster, but the bananas did not get cooked enough to bring out the flavor. Overall it was a spectacular afternoon and then we walked the garden and were in heaven. I have never seen it all in bloom and it was spectacular on May 5! The roses were stunning, the lemon arbor loaded with lemons hanging overhead, the herb garden, it was all amazing and delightful. One of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen!
