    Spent the afternoon at Ojai Valley Brewery. It a great spot to grab a beer and hang out with friends. They have a wide variety of beers an nonalcoholic options on the menu. The staff came over and turned on the fire pit when the sun started to go down. The seating was limited and we had to pull over chairs to fit the group but overall it's a place where you can have a mellow day spending time with friends with some good beer.

    This is such a chill spot to relax and great for large group settings. There's games set aside while you drink and it's pet friendly. A place you must stop by when you're in town. There's only a few select brews available here.

    I like Ojai and saw that there was a local brewery here, Topa Topa has a taproom here but I don't think they make anything on site. OVB is off the main drag but it's a relatively easy walk, there are some parts that don't have a sidewalk but it's not too bad. The space here is nice, a huge dog-friendly patio with cornhole and fire pits. To be honest, none of their beers really stuck out at me so I ended up getting their sampler with a small upcharge for their barrel aged beer. The most enjoyable selection I had was their gluten-free beer. While I can appreciate their approach of using local ingredients for adjuncts they were okay.

    The young lady at the counter was super knowledgeable on the different beers available. I had their bruja and it was pretty good. If you like stouts or porter they don't offer too many options.

    Ojai Valley Brewing Co. Uses local herbs and flavors in their delicious beer.

    Interesting & delicious beer. Friendly bartenders, shuffleboard & pool table. Great food truck on some weekend nights ... the Pineapple Rice was soooo good and large enough for two. These local owners closed their restaurant and opened this new venture which promises to be a hit. Right off the Main Street of Ojai.

    Beer flight,  4 generous tastes! Your choice.

    Great place, super friendly and helpful staff too! Plenty of outdoor seating with heaters and a fun cornhole set up. The beers are excellent!!!! Wide range of brews to choose from. Something for everyone! Came with a group of friends and everyone loved doing the beer flights. I highly recommend this new spot, they really know what they're doing.

    A good selection of beer and a nice scenery! The service was good and not many people in the early afternoon. I heard they have live music on Friday and Saturdays. It's a must try!

As it is one of the places that stays open later, we came in during the evening and had no trouble finding a table outside once the crowds died down.

The brewery is super cute and cozy, with wood/black accents and a boutique shop in the corner featuring local artists. There is plenty of places to sit inside or outside or at the bar. The bartender helped me pick a beer, and it was happy hour, so I only spent $5 on my 16oz pour :) We shared the Krupuk and pickle plate. Krupuk = airy tapioca chips, melt-in-your-mouth or crispy, with two flavorful sauces. It was a pretty large bowl so great for sharing. The pickle plate was lovely, 4 types of pickled vegetables (cucumbers, red/white onions, and bell peppers) which went great with the krupuk. Great place to pass the time!

When we arrived at 6 PM, we were told the restaurant was already out of most of the menu items and planned to close in about thirty minutes. The menu was also completely different from what was shown on their website. We ordered the tri‑tip with string‑cut fries, but the beef we received was extremely old, dry, and tough -- definitely not fresh, and certainly not "farm to table." On top of that, instead of the string‑cut fries we ordered, we were served a large pile of waffle fries. After the fact, we found a review mentioning that the restaurant changed ownership in November 2025, which explains the drastic shift in quality and menu. I'm writing this updated review so others won't be caught off guard the way we were. Our bill came to $84, and honestly, even a basic chain diner would have been a better meal.

    Great local, especially weekdays. A quiet weekday. Great chick strips & crispy batter. Cheap, no, but good.
