This place is so fun! Excellent atmosphere, and fun vibes. The pianist we saw was Jordon Frank and…read morehe was so much fun to watch and listen to. We'd planned to stay for one or two, listen to a few songs and move on to the next , but the entertainment was so good we stayed way longer than we initially intended and don't regret it a bit. I love the velvet curtains along the walls and disco ball above the beautiful red piano. What a vibe. I'm a fan!

Came here to see my partner's friend's band play for a bit and it was nice! Sound check was a bit…read moreloud and jarring, but that's understandable when you get there early (like we did for a good seat). There was a $5 cover charge - not bad - and our waitress was extremely attentive and sweet. My partner got a couple beers and I ordered the Creamsicle mocktail. It was SO yummy! I loved it and it was so cute! Great vibes with folks dancing and hanging out, though I do wish some folks had more self awareness/spatial awareness when standing around or dancing while other people are trying to get by... one woman dancing almost spilled another lady's drink, and another person almost crashed into a waitress trying to deliver a tray of drinks to a table. Maybe I should have gotten an actual cocktail so I wouldn't have been so cognizant! Overall, it was a really fun time and I enjoyed it.

The last time I went to this auditorium was 35 years ago when my older Cousin Amy performed at a…read moredance recital and here I was last night all those years later and little has changed , it's a quaint theater and quite frankly reminds me of the old movie theaters. The air was heavy as in no air flow quality at all, so if the audience was warm can you imagine what the girls dancing their hearts out must've felt like. I've said this previously about older theaters ...if you want flashy go to Los Angeles, Ojai at heart is a small town that wishes to preserve the history and I for one commend them for that, which is rare because Ojai & I rarely agree on anything. Parking was a nightmare though, I ended up parking 3 blocks away, the show was from 7-10 and by the time I left there was little to know lighting on the sidewalks to make my way back. Thanks to my trusted iPhone flashlight I made it to my car. Most of all I was just so happy to see my Baby cousin perform, it was a fun night.

Saw a concert last night, David Lindley…read more Sound quailty is ok, I would go back. Parking sucks, and they have the school parking gated off?? They could have open the parking lot up. Of course people in Ojai are pushy and stareat you if they do not know you, so just have to pretend they do not exist. They over sold the venue so they were putting up chairs in the front row, as the muscians were playing?? Just so "special" people who came late didn't have to stand. Ummm someone is playing on the stage? Ojai people live in a world of high drama. Snack truck was out front, pleanty of restrooms. Just get there early for good seats (and parking) and please don't sit in the specially marked seats.

I took my daughters to see Em Beihold at the Troubadour... it was the first time seeing a…read moreperformance there, and my first time as well. It is a great intimate venue with lots of history and great sound. We parked about a half mile away and a public lot by the West Hollywood library, parking was only 12 bucks and it was a nice short walk to the venue and no traffic getting g out when we left the show. The event was sold out, and we got there right when doors opened. The line out front was not too long and security kept everybody moving really quick. Full bar and food inside. The main room is tiny, so anywhere you stand you will have a great view of the performers. I definitely plan to come back to see another show here, wish I had caught shows here in the past... Great venue.

Especially since BTS had their first American performance at this venue years ago o was a fan girl just being here. It looks like they have a valet parking stand and there is some street parking out front. I was next door and I needed to find an atm for cash and they have an atm inside of troubadour and since their event was over, they were kind enough to let me in to use their atm.

Maui Sugar Mill is exactly what I think of when someone says 'local watering hole' or 'dive bar'…read more Lanny and the crew are amazing, great bartenders and conversation starters. This used to be my spot! If you like live music, be sure to check out their blues night. Get there EARLY! Camp out at the bar and save your seat because it's about to be standing room only. You can reserve a table in advance. If you miss a live music night, just purchase some points for the jukebox. Smoking section outside, no food, but feel free to bring your own. There's pizza, sushi, and sandwiches in the same plaza, so you're set! A staple of the valley! If you go, order a Dark and Stormy for me!

Pretty much your standard Valley dive bar, except this one had clean bathrooms! Came here for a…read moreshow, and man was it LOUD. I actually had to walk out at one point because my ears felt like they were going to explode. I know they had a sound guy there, but the place is SO small, maybe not the best venue for a punk band. Ha! The barback here was so well dressed and sweet. Bartender was quick and friendly. Cocktails and wine selections are very meh, but I had a whiskey and that worked out for me. Lots of high top tables, a decent amount of seats at the bar, and a pool table. There is also a small patio if you want to hang outside. The Maui Sugar Mill is in a strip mall, so plenty of parking available!

I first started going to The Garage about 2.5 years ago. I didn't know anyone there, I just needed…read moreto get out. Since then, I've made... more friends than I can count. Genuinely good people. One of the bartenders even ended up being my roommate for a time (and we would dance together in the living room). It was a hard time in my life when I first went there and I've grown and become, hopefully, a much better person just from experiencing the wonderful friends I've met. I could tell so many stories, but my point is simply this: This is THE BEST bar I have ever been to in my entire life and I cannot say enough good things about it and the people who run it, the regulars, bartenders, etc. Just genuinely awesome people. Even just the other day, a couple came in and they hadn't been there before, and we were just talking and they said "This is such a nice place." It's like Cheers. I walk in the door and end up hugging like everyone before I even get my name on the pool table (they also have a really nice pool table. I've been playing for years now as a result.) The owners Big J and Dave are awesome... I'm kind of overflowing with compliments here but it's just... it's the best place. If I had to choose what I was going to do with my night, my day, whatever, just getting out, it would be The Garage. Absolutely awesome. (I'm honestly just disappointed with myself that I didn't give them a Yelp review sooner. I cannot recommend this place enough. 5 stars just doesn't cut it).
