In February 2016, we opened the doors to Brass Bear Brewing in the Funk Zone of Santa Barbara, CA, one block from the ocean, featuring our high-quality craft beer, rotating guest taps, wine, sparkling wine, and cider. Locally sourced ingredients are vital to our menu. Our menu comprises locally sourced charcuterie boards, tri-tip skewers, chicken, shrimp, occasionally shark, burger, and hot toasted sandwiches. During a cross-country National Parks road trip from New York to California, the Brass Bear name was born! Coincidentally, in our favorite park. We went camping in Glacier (the kind which involves signing your life away at the ranger station and being armed with bear spray). The late afternoon sun hit the bears perfectly and turned them into a beautiful brass color. They glanced our way and with a decisive grunt carried on. We agreed over dinner that night that this would be the perfect name for our own business one day, to remind us to face our fears and keep on trekking!

Islay Gardens – A Private Garden Venue in the Heart of Santa Barbara Tucked discreetly behind gates in midtown Santa Barbara, Islay Gardens is a rare and enchanting discovery—a secluded garden venue designed for refined celebrations and meaningful gatherings. Beneath a canopy of majestic oak trees and surrounded by lush greenery, guests enter a tranquil sanctuary that feels both intimate and elevated, where every detail invites connection, beauty, and effortless elegance. Islay Gardens is a boutique, private garden curated specifically for smaller, high-touch occasions where atmosphere matters and experience takes center stage. The setting reflects the understated luxury of a Montecito-style retreat—organic, serene, and beautifully restrained. There is a quiet sophistication to the space, where natural textures, filtered light, and thoughtful garden details create an ambiance that feels relaxed yet impeccably curated. It is the kind of place where time slows, conversations deepen, and moments linger. The venue’s natural landscape is its greatest luxury. Towering oak trees soften the sunlight into gentle, dappled patterns across the grounds, creating a warm and ever-changing glow throughout the day. The garden unfolds in layers, with intimate corners, inviting pathways, and carefully composed details that feel organic rather than over-designed. The result is a setting that is visually stunning yet never contrived—an ideal canvas for celebrations that prioritize quiet authenticity and presence. Designed for intimate micro weddings, elopements, and small receptions, Islay Gardens offers a setting that feels deeply personal rather than performative. Ceremonies here are naturally romantic, framed by greenery and softened by birdsong and filtered light. The atmosphere encourages sincerity and connection, allowing couples to celebrate surrounded by their closest circle in a space that feels meaningful rather than transactional.

Nighttime shifts into an energetic restaurant featuring Burmese fare, as a celebration of Saw’s heritage, along with farmers’ market-driven cocktails, regional craft beers and small production wines focused on grapes farmed in an ecologically-responsible way. Everything is crafted from beautiful ingredients, with the majority coming from within 50 miles, including Zoe and Josh’s 50/50 Farms and other farms focused on soil health. The entire restaurant features historic-inspired pieces sourced from local sellers, California flea markets, antique stores and more, all balanced with a fresh, clean and airy look. The extensive and flexible layout also makes it a perfect destination for hosting private dinners, cocktail parties, weddings and more, with the back dining room, bar and patio seating up to 125 or the entire restaurant accommodating up to 170 people.
