Brophy Brothers is kinda taking over Santa Barbara!
Even if you are not from Santa Barbara, you have probably heard of Brophys Santa Barbara. A Santa Barbara restaurant in the Harbor that has been open since 1986. Visitors from all over come to SB and have Brophys on their food list. They are known for their great location that is right in the harbor, next to the ocean. The bartenders have a strong pours and the food ain’t bad.
Known for their seafood, but apparently have one of the burgers in town. A lot of non locals don’t know that Brophy Bros owns a lot more than just Brophys. They are definitely in the running for dominating the Santa Barbara restaurant market. They are taking over SB and perhaps also take over the world? We shall see.
Brophys Santa Barbara is so popular, they don’t need to offer a happy hour. The Ventura location is not quite as slamming. They do indeed offer happy hour. I am a happy hour girl, not at all for the drinks. I am in it for the food.
Not so breaking news (although it was years ago when I originally wrote this post)…the Bennett Family, who own Brophys and have taken over a handful of new busines, They own On The Alley. Opened Benchmark Eatery on State. Farmerboy on Upper State. Many moons ago, they took over Arch Rock Fish, but they closed.
Recently, I heard a rumor that harbor sushi joint Sushi Go Go was closed temporarily but maybe for good and that the Bennett family are taking over. We shall see. OOOH, they also took over The Clif Room Bar on the Mesa…I am not mad about it BUT they used to have the PhotoHunt game on the bar and took it away – sad day. Can’t wait to see what’s next for this local fam!
