Monty's Log Cabin - Felton

Soooo glad they have outdoor seating setup during COVID-19. coronavirus aint gonna stop em! Monty's has local IPA beers from brewery Discretion Brewing on tap. there's even a happy hour discount for those brews on tap

Just put in one of my under water fountain lights in Monty's patio area. Check it out at night. So nice to have a waterfall in the outside area. I will be adding other color effect lights at Monty's in the future. Time to do a Tiki Night at Monty's Log Cabin in Felton. Bring on the tropical rom drinks and tiki music!

Very charming rustic dive bar. Friendly folks, cheap beer, and an absolutely beautiful building. Hard to believe this place is like 15 minutes from Santa Cruz...

The #Hillbillymobile recumbent trike really loves this place. As shown in photo, it was lit up and sobered in front of this ultimate HillbillyLand Santa Cruz Mountains dive bar. Not sure if it was more lit up or more sobered. Tried clicking on neon bike icon in window but was mis-navigated. Still got away before being forced to undergo a sobriety test so I guess we'll never know. But being outlit at night for the first time ever was definitely sobering for the #Hillbillymobile. In fact, the #Hillbillymobile has never been out-lit before or since. Right there that says a lot about the place. Though mistaking the recumbent tricycle for a weird bicycle, the people inside seemed to like the #Hillbillymobile and weren't bothered that it stopped outside for the photo-op without coming in. And reading that the place is dog friendly, serves dive bar food, has Hank Williams in the jukebox, and has a firepit made from on old clothes dryer (what could be more hillbilly? I'm gonna have to go in--even though I'm a teetotaler reality addict. Conveniently located on Hwy 9 right near the entrance to Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, an iconic site for #HillbillyIdentityExtremistEnvironmentalists; Monty's Log Cabin has been a Felton community fixture right there since 1936. By comparison the #Hillbillymobile has been a community non-fixture since March 2022, transporting me all around #HillbillyLand since shortly after I moved from Lexington Hills on the other side of the mountain and after a brief stop in the silicon valley hellhole. Monty's is less than 7 miles from my new home in Upper Zayante so I'll be sure to go inside soon.

This is more than just a dive bar. Its a local favorite. The owner is usually there tinkering around and will say hi. Pool table inside. The outside is what did it for me. The weather was perfect! Met wonderful people. Great fun. Casual and friendly. Will be back.
