Shanty Shack Brewing

Shanty Shack Brewing is a 21+ craft taproom on Fern Street in Santa Cruz with a genuine commitment to both the beer and the music, operating as one of the most community-spirited small venues in the county. The brewery produces small-batch beers built around California ingredients and a rotating tap selection that rewards regular visits, and the live music programming runs across all genres with the same spirit of discovery and quality. The room is intimate, the staff is friendly, and the combination of interesting beer and live music in an unpretentious setting has made Shanty Shack a favorite among Santa Cruz locals who take both seriously.
