Rush Inn Aptos Reviews
wonderful services and affordable drinks!
If you just want to be free without being a nuisance... (Lolol!) This is the place for you. Especially when a time that recovery and dealing with mental health is key--the staff and patronage will embrace you. No matter who you are.
Rolled in at 1:20am and the bartender was amazing. She served us rite away with a shot and a beer chaser, we will be back!

Cozy neighborhood dive with good staff and patrons. Nice place to meet new friends or catch up with old ones.
Fun swing in bar. Shake-a-shift ... ask them! Good.
say hi to Molly and treat yourself to some of her smashing margaritas
Don't serve food but great for a cozy gathering, cheap strong drinks, amazing bartenders.
This is the Best dive bar in town. Women owned, perfect service, great atmosphere. Too bad Santa Cruz is going to build another high-rise where it's located. Go Santa Cruz Biltmore high-rises without any infrastructure.
This bar is a fun little hidden gem in Santa Cruz as well as the bartender Molly. She gave us the best service and we had the best conversation with her. This bar has pool also.
Plenty of drinks here, but rarely is there food except chips. Top notch dive bar, would be very sad to see it get leveled for unnecessary, expensive housing.

It's a great place if the blonde lady bartender didn't ruin it for everybody worst attitude worst customer service ever seen just like being rude to the customers. If there's a different bartender than the place is great. What's a fake blonde or white hair short hair. If she's working just walk out and go somewhere else you'll be happier if you did....
I read another review about the poor service but still decided to give it a chance. One of the worst bar experiences. Slow service, rude bartender, and it wasn’t even busy or anything. This is one of those bars where if you’re not a regular the bartender will treat you like that. The people were alright. Not my vibe generally an older crowd. Definitely wont be going back.
One of the worst bars in all of Santa Cruz and in all of the bay area. Bartender who's supposedly owner as well was rude and unprofessional and told me that I was being loud talking to my friend as I was going to the ATM machine then complained about the tweakers in front in which there was many and instead of trying to get rid of them the bar "owner" continued to complain about it and took it out on me. Made me feel very uncomfortable, and I was very distraught over it as well, but nonetheless, terrible service all around. Unprofessional bartenders that complain all day and instead of trying to please the customers they do the exact opposite. Really embarrassing by all means. Never going to this bar ever again.
