catalyst is dope......everytime i go.......i hit one of teh upstair sides and get a table and start twisting up non-stop.......then they have bartenders go by and ask you if you want drinks....its dope cuz you can smoke and drink no problems.....
Moe's Alley is another venue in Santa Cruz. I go there for blues n reggae. There's halls u can rent if u work with a promoter. That's how we had NWA n all kinds of shows back in the day in Watsonville.
