This is a great used bookstore. Wine bar. Restaurant. Good music. Cool vibes. I?ll be back. That said. I?m not sure... who the knowledgeable staff are but they need more hours. The bored guy selling books on my last visit was not helpful. Wouldn?t help me find a title as they don?t catalog their books, he gave me a ridiculous large cardboard box for three books,and he didn?t know anything about the event space booking process. Instead referring me to the website. Really? Knowyour store, its inventory, and its policies or find another place to be unhelpful Read more
I?ve been book shopping here a few times since moving to Santa Cruz. Truly one of my favorite shops I?ve ever been to. Great... selection, knowledgeable staff, amazing place to escape and enter a unique space. I?ve eaten here twice and the food and wine isdelicious. Wonderful waiter last night- seriously 10/10, excellent service, but the woman we closed the tab/paid with was rudeand impatient, although there was still over an hour until close and only one other couple dining. Was left feeling unsettledand confused. Besides that, I would give it five stars. Read more
The current Thai chefs are amazing. Stepping in you are readily welcomed by the unmistakable scent of steamed glass noodle in... clay pot (a traditional option with shrimps would be amazing). The steamed fish with lime is fresh and black cod is the perfectfish for this dish. The price is rather steep, but you do get what you pay for. Read more
Whenever I see a used bookstore I check it out, and Bad Animal is one of the two or three best bookstores I've ever visited. It... has a super well-chosen stock of books that are organized and presented well (e.g. there is an entire section for New Directionsbooks), it has reasonable prices, and it has nice lighting, decor, and places to sit. The food and wine are also really good.Overall, it's one of the coolest places (bar, restaurant, or store) I've been to. Read more

Interesting place, a bookshop, wine bar, and Thai cafe. Very short menu, they only have 3-4 entrees on a given night. I had... the half roast chicken, which was interesting but a bit dried out, served with a very salty Jaem dip, and a sweet/hot red chilisauce. The highlight was probably the Roti appetizer, with a sweet potato filling and a little dish of a cucumber and onion onthe side. It kind of reminded me of street food but at sit-down prices Read more
