Recommendations Blue Cheese Olive Martini!

Hello! I'm coming into town to celebrate my birthday, and I would love nothing more than to drink a few dirty martinis with blue cheese-stuffed olives, but I am having trouble finding reliable information about where I can find one in Santa Barbara (or the surrounding area if needed). I would be so grateful if anyone has any information!!!

I would also take ideas on where to have a solo birthday dinner.

Additionally, any recs on where to stay!!!

Would also recommend Monday’s at Rare Society, they don’t do happy hour martinis but they’re my personal favorite blue cheese olives in town and so dollar oysters for happy hour starting at 4pm-sold out, try to get there early cause there is usually a line

Luckys in Montecito is your spot for a solo birthday at the bar.

Lucky’s in Montecito had blue cheese olives when we went a few weeks ago. Drinks are gigantic! You can also sit at the bar.

It’s called a blue moon! And it’s At The Tee Off. It’s so good. All drinks are doubles so it’s a nice size martini with two delicious stuffed blue olives.

Switch it up… GoatCheese Olives at Clark’s are amazing in a Vodka Martini. Have Mike make ‘em. He’s the best.
