    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wonderful bartenders and a nice crowd make this a perfect place to do karaoke or play pool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a decent selection of local beers like Topa Topa and Made West, and the bartender will make her secret vodka drink if you ask her. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The couple that run the karaoke on Thursday Friday and Saturday are just wonderful and the sound system is top notch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]All of the singers were good too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My friends and I had a great time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you get hungry there's also a food truck in the parking lot. The first time you come here can be tricky. Make your first left after the freeway on Ventura. If you cross the railroad tracks you went too far. [[HIGHLIGHT]]For pool lovers they have tournaments on Sundays![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Happy hour is from 5-7 great prices!

    One of my favorite people in Ventura! This place is always fun. Julie give these guys a raise!

    Moved into the neighborhood back in August and my honey and I wanted to find a low key "Cheers bar" of our own. This is the spot! Super fun karaoke four days a week and kindly people and bartenders that remember your name. Always a good time!

    Spud MacKenzie, I mean come on. Anyone born before 1990 doesn't know who that is

    My friend and I decided to meet here for happy hour, and it ended up being a great choice. I'd been…read morehere before, but only in the morning for matcha, so this was my first time experiencing their happy hour. The happy hour menu has a great selection of both food and drinks at really reasonable prices. We ordered the chicken tacos, the spinach and artichoke dip, and a drink, and everything was delicious. The tacos were flavorful, the dip was creamy and perfect for sharing, and the drink hit the spot. Service is pretty straightforward you place your order at the counter, and someone brings everything to your table. There's not a lot of interaction with the staff, but everything was smooth and efficient. One of my favorite parts was the atmosphere. The happy hour crowd was a nice mix of people, and the place had a fun, lively energy without feeling overwhelming. Since it was a warm day, my friend and I chose to sit inside. We had a spacious table with plenty of room for our food and drinks, which made it easy to relax and enjoy catching up. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back for happy hour. It's a great spot for good food, reasonably priced drinks, and a casual place to meet up with friends.

Especially with a toddler (IYKYK). We tried a couple of things and shared them. The fish tacos were better than I expected. Loved the kick of the chipotle sauce on them and the charred pineapple was a nice touch. The garlic shrimp had a nice bite. I wish the spinach and artichoke dip were a bit creamier. As it cooled down, it wasn't as smooth to spread on your chip but still good. And their beef tallow fries are always a must and delish! Service was so friendly! The woman who took our order made recommendations on the menu, was very sweet, and attentive. Servers walking around were also so nice and good about cleaning up unused plates. Great place for a quick, low stakes happy hour and dinner. Family friendly and beautiful setup.

We came here to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. We each ordered a cocktail. She got a blueberry margarita and I got a cucumber gin mixed drink. Both were refreshing and delicious. We ended up ordering another round. For appetizers we ordered the crispy maple Brussels and tuna & salmon tartare. The Brussels were fried to perfection and glazed a sweet maple syrup. It also came with thick cuts of bacon. Definitely recommend this. For the tartare, it was also delicious and fresh. It was mixed with avocado and turnip. We thought the turnip would be off putting but it actually meshed well with the flavors. Came with fried wonton chips. For the main course we shared the NY strip and Lobster Malfaldine. The steak was cooked to perfection with a very nice sear and flavored well. Probably one of the better steaks I've ever had. Definitely beats out any steakhouse steak. The Lobster Malfaldine was also absolutely delicious. Most of the time, lobster pasta is usually a bit bland and lacking in lobster. NOT HERE. They included big chunks of lobster and the sauce was so good. Lastly, we ended our dinner with the Strawberry Hand Pie. This is basically a warm strawberry strudel with vanilla bean ice cream. They used locally sourced strawberries and I'm still thinking about it as I'm writing this review. Adrienne was our server and she was very nice and attentive. Since it was my girlfriend's birthday, they comped our dessert. Super nice staff!

I'm looking forward to my next stop in!

    If you're going to hang your hat on the speakeasy aesthetic--dim lights, hushed tones, whispers of…read moreexclusivity--then understand this: you're entering into an unspoken pact with your patrons. We expect a certain standard, a level of care that borders on obsession. So when I catch Evan Williams--respectable, questionable, but barely twelve bucks a bottle--making an appearance behind the bar, it feels like a breach of trust. A quiet betrayal under low lighting. The illusion only works if the details hold up under scrutiny... and that pour? It broke the spell. And then comes the real offense: discovering that your Old Fashioned--the crown jewel of any respectable cocktail program--are built on bottom-shelf, dust-collecting bourbon. That's not just a letdown, it's a slap in the face. A cocktail like that deserves reverence, not shortcuts. And as if to twist the knife, there it was--a massive can of red maraschino cherries sitting shamelessly atop the bar, like some relic from a dive that's given up on finesse. It wasn't just a misstep. It was disrespect. In a place claiming the speakeasy mantle, details like these matter. They're the difference between theater and parody. The cocktails did not warrant the $15 price tag. Moreover, I would have paid more had I know the class of bourbon upfront. What ultimately redeems the space is its ambiance. The low flicker of the fireplace, the soft embrace of worn leather sofas, the curated hum of music floating just above conversation--it's seductive, even soulful. The room itself is small, intimate--the kind of place where you're bound to recognize a face, or at the very least, feel inclined to invite a stranger to share the sofa and maybe a story. And then there's the setting--tucked beneath a historic relic, a basement bar built into the bones of old Americana. The building dates back to the early 1900s, echoing with a past that deserves to be honored, not phoned in. That's exactly why I expected more from the cocktails. A place with this much atmosphere shouldn't fall flat when it comes to what's in the glass. It's a mismatch--a beautiful stage, but a script that doesn't quite rise to meet it.

After reading rave reviews about Sal and his mom running the place with pride, I decided to stop by for a breakfast burrito, hoping to meet one of them.

When it arrived, it was served with avocado salsa and was so massive that Sal had to cut it in half. One bite in, and I knew--I had just found the best breakfast burrito I've had in years. It was perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, and incredibly satisfying. Then came the biggest surprise--the check. This incredible meal was only **$10.50**! Everything on the menu is reasonably priced, making it an unbeatable value. Sal also mentioned they stay open late for dinner on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My wife and I are already planning to come back tonight. I'm especially excited to try their Sunday special from **1-6 PM**--tri-tip, chicken, and two sides for just **$15**. Now that's a deal!
