Best beer in town. Certified organic gluten reduced beer. Try the Abricot Y Cream, milkshake IPA. (Apricots and mango) You will not be disappointed here. I'm usually a mixed drink kind of girl but I can't pass on their Coconut Porter or their Belgians. read more

Couldn't be any happier that we walked in to this establishment by chance. We got to celebrate my twin sister's birthday in style and we had a great time. The staff were friendly, accommodating and gave us superb service! I'm not even a beer drinker and I enjoyed the Noserider. Cheers! read more

Close to the water. Good selection of Hazys. And they offer some Gluten Reduced beers too. Good beer. Definitely recommend.

Very unfriendly, right from the start. It doesn't appear that they actually want physical customers, which is probably why they're normally empty whenever I happen to be driving near their location. The beers are men, nothing special, nothing I would desire to try again. There are much better offerings at Fluid State, OBC, Poseidon and Finney's. read more

Went to Leashless with a couple of friends and we felt like they totally overpriced everything. We purchased 3 growlers with a supposed 25% discount and spent $120? We asked if there were additional discounts after the purchase and they straight up said no. Been to many local breweries and I have never spent that amount. The beer wasn't that great either. The Sunrise IPA was no good. If you wanna save yourself from getting totally ripped off stay away. Sans Souci or Transmission brewery are way better price and taster overall. read more

The Good: nice to have a Belgium option in local breweries. Nice bar and outside patio area. Pretty good job on beers. The Bad & The Ugly: Pretty lame to have a grand opening with only 3 beers available. Lame to charge 15 dollars for grand opening ticket. Super lame to charge $20 for VIP ticket and the only thing these ticket gets you is the right to spend more money?!?! No swag, no glass, no T, no limited edition beer? The people that forked over $15-20 are the people excited for new local beer options and they all feel used and abused. My regular beer sampling crew will not be adding Leashless to the rotation. read more

From what I can tell the people bashing this brewery are the Budweiser crowd. New breweries usually struggle with their system but he seems to have done it pretty well for the first beers out of a new Brewery. The tripel was solid and the gluten reduced Stout was pretty solid. The brewer was very knowledgeable and friendly. I am eager to see what the future holds for this brewery. The fact that they are an organic brewery AND making gluten reduced beers is a great experiment for the Ventura beer scene. Hopefully they will be embraced. read more

Be the change. Right? I'm glad Leashless Brewing takes the time to be concerned about sustainability; a much needed practice these days! You can see the passion in every aspect and detail of their business. Handcrafted organic, non-GMO, chemical free, gluten reduced beer. Yea! Hats off to you Leashless for being a bold leader. P.S. people: You know, it all starts with us... Find your bottom line. Stand for something. Drink thoughtfully! Go organic! Go support! Be the change! We can help make a difference too, one beer at a time... read more

My boyfriend and I came here last night to try this place out and it was absolutely amazing! The staff here was so nice and talked about the different beers they had on tap and also let us sample a few beers before buying some. The food truck food was also so great! We ordered food and they brought it to us as soon as it was ready. What a great , fun and clean atmosphere. I highly recommend this place if you want organic beer . Also, they serve GF beer for people as well. 5 stars hands down!!! We will definitely come back for more beer and food. read more

My husband and I love coming to Leashes. We stop by at least once a week. The enjoy the ambiance, the organic beer is delicious and the Gio food truck is superb. Can't wait to be back read more

Nice spot and job well done on the remodel. Beer stinks. Won't ever be back. Brewers first real gig. A huge money sink. The bathroom doors are right next to the beer line, way too much cross traffic, poor planning. Only one guy taking beer orders on a busy night. I don't know what these homebrewers are thinking. Ventura Coast Brewery is the same. read more

I am not a big craft beer fan, but I really do like the 1618! I find the beers easier to drink than most other breweries I have gone to. Since it just opened, there's a small selection but they are trying to get more out there, and I can't wait to try them! Great location and awesome remodel! Also the food truck that is in their parking lot has some awesome food! read more

This is probably the worst brewery we've been to in Ventura. Steer clear of you like craft beer. This is a very new place so it may improve, but at the moment it isn't worth your time or money. I've had organic/gluten-reduced beer done right l, but this isn't it. Your money is better spent at Fluid State up the street. read more

This is definitely one of my favorite spots in Ventura! Killer layout as it used to be an auto shop. The staff is super friendly, the vibes are mellow, and the beer is incredible and unique. I've never been to a certified organic brewery, as my understanding is that it's very difficult and costly to do so, which sets the bar high. I saw there were a few negative reviews on the opening, which is too bad. I've probably been to just about every brewery in Southern California (plus a few in other parts of the state and country), and this place definitely makes the top of the list for their delicious unique beer, friendly surf vibes, and commitment to the environment. Oh and they have a killer taco truck on site everyday! read more

Went to opening. Cost 20$ for cover. Included nothing. Only 3 beers. They were marginal Hopefully they will get better and I will change this rating read more

Leashless Brewing - Opening day, first official customer - Breweries Near Me - Ventura, California

Make this Brewery a stop on your next trip to Ventura. They turned a dilapidated old building into a refreshed beauty, inside and out, that must be visited. All their Beers are Organic, with Gluten Reduced options for those who need it. My favorite, so far, is the 'Tri Fin' Trippel, followed by the '1618' (which is Gluten Reduced). Staff is friendly and the Outdoor Patio, which is dog friendly, is fantastic for enjoying a beer after work. The Blue Light Truck parked outside offers some very tasty meals to add to the experience. read more

Nice vibes People are friendly Also love the organic selection cheers I went with the Beach cruiser need to try cheers read more

Came here about a week ago with my family. The owner (John I think) was super helpful explaining the gluten reduced beer. Turns out that it is gluten free but they just can't legally say that for legal reasons. Bottom line if you are celiac then you can drink the gluten reduced beer because it's actually gluten free. read more

Mediocre, not sure why they are so off. We had two adults and two kids with us, we asked for waters for the kids and they brought one water. The food truck was very slow, two tacos came out fifteen minutes after ordering and then the chips and salsa were another ten minutes after that. It was ok, I'll try another brewery before going back to this one. read more

A different kind of place in the best possible way. Excellent Belgian-inspired beer made using organic ingredients by wonderful people who embody the values our world needs. In a crowded craft beer landscape, John and his team have a place that differentiates itself for all the right reasons. You feel good after supporting this place, and not just because of a buzz. A new Ventura beer staple! read more

Amazing! John is down to earth and loves beer like us! This is one of the best options in V-Town! I am loving the Sessions and can't wait to come try some others. Great people, beer and location! Highly recommended:) Sean D read more

I want to like this place, the staff are pretty cool, but they only had four beers when I was there. Also for a place that is "leashless" they had tons of rules, including a huge sign listing them. I was more self conscious about having my dog there. Plus, I have an unmarked growler from a nearby brewery that's supposed to be able to be filled anywhere, but due to their clearly marked rules I felt guilty about filling my growler there, so I didn't leave with any beer. Also, I accidentally left my tab open (as I often do, but usually just get charged a 20% tip), but instead of taking my credit card (which can be cancelled) or just keeping my card in file, they took my drivers license.... I left the next day to go back home, which is 6 hours away, but luckily I remembered to get my card. It would have sucked to have to replace my license if I would have left before the place opened. I went with a friend and she had friends who worked there, and again they were super cool, as were all the staff I met, but the overall experience was kind of a bummer. I also saw many friends I had not seen in years, which was cool. However, based on beer selection, the fact I had to leave my drivers license, and the long rule list, I can't give this place above a 3 star at this point. read more

My husband and I had a fun chess match while enjoying sampling their beers here the other night. There were seven on tap and they were all delicious. The darkest chocolate one was especially yummy. The taco truck served us plates of carne asada and chicken tacos. A nice perk was it was Taco Tuesday so all our beers were $1 off from our taco purchase. Win win! read more

Once you go Organic it's hard going back to regular beer. Quality Organic beer tastes different than I was used to, but my palate adjusted accordingly over time. Drop by and check it out. Try the Sunrise Blonde, aka strongest blonde in town at 6.8% ABV. read more

We've been coming to Leashless Brewing for a couple of years and every single one of their organic beers are always delicious! I love Foam Ball's hazy vibe. The owners have gone out of their to make things work through all the hard Covid stuff - always with the customers' comfort in mind. Now that we are moving past that it's time to have music and beer! If hazy beers aren't your thing they have Belgians and more. Just stop by and say Hi! read more

Really good Belgian beer. Love the dog friendly vibe and the food truck. Cool owners. Great beer. Also did I mention the beer? Short 5 min walk to he beach! read more

Friendly brewery with eclectic selection of organic brews. The Abricot y Creme drew me in but we stayed for open mic night and enjoyed a variety of tasty offerings. Leashless offers flights with as many or as few tastings as requested. With 14 different brews, this might take a while. read more

Amazing beer. Amazing owners and customer service. The Mosa is my favorite but all other brews are fantastic!!! Always a great time, live music, good food trucks. Super fun environment, definitely a must try and stop in Ventura. Great date night spot or family fun night also read more

wow. great small venue with craft organic beers and "the Mosa" which is a mango-infused hard seltzer....the taco truck is GOOOOOD!!!

I walked in with a group of friends and heard the two women behind the bar say "they're probably all ordering flights" and laughing as we approached the bar. The attitude we received was unnecessary and the beer was average. I will most likely go elsewhere when I am back in the area. read more

This place, wow. Great beers and the service is top notch. The food truck outside is awesome. The owners really care about customer service and quality beers. read more

Leashless earned a 3/5 with me . It was relatively slow and the bartenders generously gave my friends and I free tasters . I ordered a beer and after being served another taster, asked if I could have a pint of that one instead . I gladly offered to pay for both beers, but instead the bartender told me that my beer was already poured, then turned around and walked away...Unsure why they wouldn't give me the beer I liked when I offered to pay for both . I've never been to a brewery or bar that refused to do that . read more

Awesome place for great beers and amazing tacos from Gios. Great vibe with live music, gluten reduced beer that tastes great for those with sensitivities. And the owners are awesome people that treat you great.

I was at Leashless The other night and watched in disgust as the owner berated one of his employees in front of customers. Apparently she was in training and not meeting his militaristic expectations. It was a sad sight. Servers are the heart of this city and should be treated with respect from not only customers but bosses as well. I'm all for supporting local businesses but I won't be coming back to Leashless. read more
