I was visiting Ojai for a retreat and found Revel on a lunch break. I love trying new kinds of…read moreKombucha and was excited when I saw the sign. I had no idea the magnitude of what I was about to experience. I sample kombucha every chance I get, and I can say with confidence that Revel has the best commercial kombucha that I've ever tasted! I had the pleasure of being served by Adam the owner, who is a superb beverage alchemist and has created an array of blends that are as beautiful as they are delicious. Revel is an apt name for these drinks as the sublime colors are as delightful as the pleasure of their tastes. The interior is spacious with minimalist decor, an attractive menu board, a feeling of earthiness with natural wood, and the clean brightness of white walls. It's the kind of place where you might meet a friend for a healthy drink, work remotely, or buy some growlers for a unique contribution to a dinner party. It was a gloomy rainy weekend, and I visited four times. I wasn't eager to go back out in the cold, and a few times I was the only customer so I had a chance to chat with Adam. I was intrigued to discover that Jun Kombucha uses honey instead of sugar for the fermentation process. I started home brewing Kombucha in 2011, and was taught that honey's antibacterial properties would block the fermentation process and kill the culture, aka SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast). Enter the unique Jun SCOBY which only feeds on honey. It was amazing to talk to Adam about his brewing journey. He poured me samples and it was difficult to pick a favorite because they're all so good. Even the bottles are a work of art carrying the theme of the business. Recommended 100%!

I'm visiting my daughter in Ojai and a must stop is always for my favorite kombucha. Today they had…read morea few more flavors available in the four packs which is what I always get so I can take them home and enjoy them one a day. I tried the sunbeams which is citrus and vanilla but it was a little too subtle for my taste so I tried the Hoppy Valley, which is fabulous and my favorite is always the OM which is the bar in lavender. I decided to get the happy Valley for the first time and the nice young lady serving me said that I could mix a match so that made me really happy because no one has ever offered that to me before. I decided to get two of the happy Valley and two of the OM Which came to a total of $22. I signed up for the loyalty points, hoping to get my first purchase towards earning rewards, but the employee told me that the four packs don't count towards rewards. This is why I only gave four stars for the very first time because this didn't make any sense to me. Oh well. I guess things aren't perfect here after all. I will keep returning, but it made me sad not to be earning points for my purchase.:( Happy New Year's Day and may you enjoy the best kombucha ever and come here and try it. It's a really fun place to just hang out and it's nice and quiet and they have fun little games to play. I just added the review from four stars to five stars because Adam, the owner, responded to my constructive criticism and said that he was going to have the system changed to allow loyalty points to be earned when customers purchase the cans. He also added loyalty points to my rewards account for my purchase today. Thank you For being a responsive owner to your customers needs and coming up with a solution right away. That's what makes your store so excellent in addition to serving an excellent product.

The place is gorgeous it's got this rustic vibe and feel to it. Great for friends or dates. My choice was the blonde IPA. Also they let us play the piano and sing towards the end which was nice and intimate.

Wylde Works was a surprise visit in SB. Walking on State street and I saw that Wylde Works had…read moremead. I took another lap on State before finally deciding to double back and grab a mead instead of a beer. They only had their original on draft and of course, I tried it. The mead was light and airy and then the space was filled with piano music. While I was sitting at the bar, enjoying my mead a local had turned up and started playing the piano. I was enjoying myself so much that I stayed for another round. It's definitely worth a visit: good drinks, and friendly locals. A welcome spot of tranquility.

This dining experience was not good... Very frustrating to say the least! while the food was tasty…read moreour dining experience was annoying. We waited about 15 minutes until one of the servers came to take our drink order and then we sat for a half hour before anyone came to take our food order. And the only reason the guy came over was because I kind of gave some eye contact. He was very nice and apologized for the wait. And I sure wish he would've written down our order because it came out totally wrong. We ordered an extra patty on the side, it was missing. They gave me ranch dressing for my salad and I ordered balsamic. They forgot our sweet potato fries so we mentioned it to the runner who served us and they didn't come out until our food was almost all eaten and they still charged us for it! Crappy customer service! Then we waited way too long for the check and I had to go find someone to ask for it. This was the longest stop for a burger ever! Seriously you guys need to pull it together! We've dined here twice before and never experienced issues like this. We came from Ventura as we prefer it over the one near us so this was not worth the drive. It just seemed like a flaky night of unorganized everything! Probably won't bother making the trip again.

GREAT beer festival -- I see why all the 5 star reviews. Our 2nd year coming up from Los Angeles…read more Some people take the Amtrak Surfliner as it drops off very close -- but we did the 80min drive as we stayed over for the night and made a weekend out of it. So many options for beer and since it's right next to the beach on a large grass field, it's cooler than you'd think even in the summer. They don't advertise it but it's doggie friendly too! Also, you can bring beach chairs in and find a spot (if you get here early enough) under one of their shady trees. They have about 5-6 food trucks as well as vendors selling beef jerky, popcorn, and vintage clothes. Large stage with a mix of live music and DJ's. (Reggae band was our favorite in 2025). Lines were pretty short all day -- so they really did everything right and we'll certainly be back next year!

I am glad I picked Rincon for an early dinner during our recent anniversary trip in Santa Barbara!…read more A major plus, they sell food here, they have an extensive menu so it's easy to order at the bar, they bring it to your table, no hassle, running around for food from 1000 places! It might not be as trendy as other breweries in the Funk Zone area, but I don't care. Quiet and laid back was the vibe we needed! I love that they are located in an old Spanish looking house. Beautiful outdoor options, charming, quiet, great to enjoy a meal at! I don't care for their indoor area - with TV-s playing game and lacking decor. Service was great, friendly, Sam took care of us, he was nice, kind, attentive! Had their Mac Brown, a darker nice beer, smooth and started our feast with their nachos, we added chicken on which was a great decision since it was marinated and freshly grilled, you could taste the nice flavors right away. Great guacamole in top, a fun dish! We continued with the fried dill pickles (they come with Ranch and Sriracha sauce), very nice, had fried pickles before (in the South) and they were too greasy. Not here, crisp and tasty, lightly breaded. We finished with the onion rings tower, panko crusted, delicious flavor! They have locations in Ventura and Carpinteria! Great food and beer, nice service, very chill and relaxing. Rincon proved me right, gave us the fun, laid back experience we needed! Cheers to that, Mac Brown in hand!
