About the restaurant
Huddy's formerly Hudson House offers a large menu of beverages that features craft cocktails, wines, craft beers and a curated backbar that includes bourbon/rye, gin, tequila/mezcal and scotch. Come solo and sit at the bar or bring a friend and enjoy drinks at a table in the dining room. Looking to dine outdoors? Join us for dining al fresco on our expansive outdoor patio with TVs and numerous picnic tables. Huddy's has a menu with several types of dishes like the toasted edamame and shishito peppers or the serrano cheddar grit fritters. Dig in on the brown sugar pork ribs, a marinated skirt steak served with truffle cheese fries or the pretzel burger. Kids in tow, no worries, we have a menu just for them! Finish your meal or just stop by for a sweet dessert of chocolate chip pretzel bread pudding. Huddy's is great for group dining and corporate events on our patio or in the bar. Not sure where we are located? Look for the Brady Smith mural with doodles on an orange building.

ADDITIONAL AVAILABILITY ON OUR WEBSITE : TinRoofBistro.com

After soaking in the TRB’s Santa Barbara mission architecture, you’ll enter and be greeted by a triple arched Brunswick mahogany bar. Large bowls of colorful citrus for making cocktails sit atop a twenty-foot long bar perfect for grabbing a glass of wine or a bite to eat. As you explore further towards the display kitchen, you enter our lounge, also referred to as the wine library. Knotted wood shelves display our wines, divided up by wine region. Windows surround the North side of the dining room, allowing our guests to gaze out onto the fountain in our courtyard. I describe the décor as thoughtful and collective, creating little vignettes for dining areas. We offer two separate outdoor dining experiences: our courtyard with full service and our front porch great for appetizers, drinks and lounging.

HT Grill is a great place for food, atmosphere and fun. Comfortable patio with heaters and a fire pit. During the summer, music out on an adjacent patio. Good HH with well made cocktails and food choices. Service has always been on par with knowledgeable staff.
