Reservations are highly encouraged, since walk-in space is limited and tables book up fast. See everything to know and book here. We hold tables for 15 minutes, so please arrive on time.

Up to 6 guests per reservation. Children and anyone who needs a seat count toward the 6. If you book several tables for one group, we can’t guarantee they’ll be seated together.

We can’t guarantee that separate reservations will be seated together or near each other, even if they’re booked at the same time. To guarantee your group stays together, book a Holiday Cabana or private event.

Yes. When you book, you’ll be charged $10 per person + a 2% OpenTable service fee. $1.95 per person is a booking fee, and the remaining $8.05 per person is refunded when you arrive. You can modify or cancel for a full refund any time before your reservation. No-shows, or cancelling or modifying after that time, will forfeit the $10 per person charge.

Yes. All table reservations are 90 minutes so everyone who wants to join us can. We recommend taking photos and exploring the venue after your reservation.

Because of high reservation volume, we can’t guarantee specific seating, but we’ll do our best to accommodate requests when possible.

Tap “Set Alert” on OpenTable to hear when a spot opens, or “Find Future Availability” to check other dates. You can also grab a standing-room ticket for our patio and partially enclosed rooftop, which includes 1–2 drinks.

Walk-in space is very limited, so we recommend a reservation or a standing-room ticket.

Yes! Groups of 7 or more can rent a cabana (7–15 guests each, and bigger groups can book more than one), or host an event with us.

Absolutely! Submit a request here and our events team will follow up with availability and pricing. You can also email them at parties@santababybar.com. Please check your spam folder, as our responses sometimes land there.

If a private event books out our entire second floor, that space will be temporarily unavailable for photos. We’d love to have you back another time to see it!
