Located in the heart of downtown Santa Cruz, Clouds Downtown is an upscale restaurant offering American cuisine in a comfortable, chic atmosphere surrounded by contemporary art and lighting.

Clouds Downtown represents the eclectic lifestyle of Santa Cruz, showcasing a long mahogany and red cherry wood bar that is commonly populated by an array of local personalities. Catering to not only your usual bar suspects, but also to the old-time Santa Cruz legends, locals, and families, your experience at Clouds is ever-changing depending on the hour of the day. You are just as likely to bump into a local politician as you are a local activist, a new face or an old friend, a wedding rehearsal dinner or a wild bachelorette party; the list goes on and on.

Clouds Downtown is the perfect place to excite your appetite with our legendary filet, a prime tenderloin of beef wrapped with proscuitto, or our fresh local swordfish with soba noodles. We have won numerous awards, including “Best Appetizers” and “Best Martinis”. Located just around the corner from the Santa Cruz Cinema 9, Clouds Downtown is the place to grab a quick bite (or sip) both before and after going to the movies.

Boasting an extensive wine selection to complete and compliment your dining experience, Clouds Downtown also offers a full bar featuring an array of international liquors and spirits.
