Paradise Store

Not to be confused with the Paradise Cafe located downtown on Anacapa, the Paradise Store can be found just off Hwy 154 on Paradise Road. A go between Cold Spring Tavern just up Stagecoach Road, or a stop off when going or coming from the campgrounds, or swimming at Red or White Rock, or just going there directly for the music, beer, and maybe a tri-tip sandwich.

The Paradise Store has bands playing out back in the patio Wed. night and Saturday and Sunday. Sunday has been the day of choice lately, and it always includes a stop at Cold Spring as well. Beers are cheap, no draft, no bar, it is a store, but buy a couple beers and sit out front for the view or take them out back for the music. Far less crowded than Cold Spring Tavern and although it’s located only 4 minutes away, just over 2 miles from the tavern, it gives off a different feeling completely, quiet, more relaxed. A great view across the valley towards Cachuma Lake provides a great photo at sunset or anytime of the day. Got to go elsewhere for the bait and ammo, but stop here for the beer.
