This microbrewery is such an incredibly authentic and cozy local spot. The staff and regulars are so friendly and welcoming.

Excellent beer and friendly, local crowd. Proprietor Jo and brewmaster Adam are wonderful people. The C-Hag IPA is their signature but all the beers are delicious read more

Cheers, the TV show, atmosphere. Oxnard's Westend watering hole. They're always ready to party or to spend a pleasant hour visiting with neighbors or tourists who found their way here from the beaches or harbors after a day at the shore. In any case, you're welcome. read more

Very small good cold ipa lots of potential but lacking ambiance! Would recommend bartender was ok

Yummy time. A Belgian double and a lobster sandwich to eat from Cousins Maine Lobster. A win all around. read more

Red Tandem Brewery - Breweries Near Me - Oxnard, California

This place is like a little mini cheers. It's the small brewery where the locals go and the owner pours the beer. The mostly local group is friendly and welcoming. Bring your dog and play some games while drinking deliciously crafted beers brewed right here on site. My favorites are the Strawberry Fields (a blonde ale) and the So Cal stout. But they're known for their C-Hag IPA. read more

Red Tandem Brewery - Breweries Near Me - Oxnard, California

This was one of the first breweries in California that I visited and this is my most recent time visiting back after many years. It's still the same chill, neighborly, fun, and relaxed local brewery. Small menu featuring all the major brew types. The cascade hazy is my go to. Shout out to the bar tenders and the locals who make this place feel like home read more

We really like it here! Nothing fancy-comfortable and dog friendly! Located in a strip mall w/lots of parking (we walk over since we live in Oxnard Shores) Excellent beer for sure! We love the Stout Nitro! Cool little spot to come and chill, watch some sports and just hang. Pizza to go place next door if you get hungry! Definitely recommend! read more

As local as it gets! Having been a long-time part-time resident of Oxnard Shores (4 decades+) I always get excited to see local businesses pop up that really catch the vibe of this neighborhood! This neighborhood brew pub is small and suuuuper local.... Great place to enjoy some unique beers and catch up with neighbors and other colorful characters. read more

Red Tandem Brewery - Beer! - Breweries Near Me - Oxnard, California

I'm all for trying local beers, but these weren't the best. Nothing really bad, but not that good either. The brewery itself had a fun dive feel to it, which I really appreciated. The best part was the young lady working the taps. She was extremely friendly, fun to chat with, and very helpful. I wish I would've caught her name. read more

Here is what is great: * The quick and kind service. * They accept the AXXESS card. Buy 1 flight/sampler, get 1 flight/sampler free. * Seating available inside and outside. Not so great: The beers. In all we tried 6 of the 8 beers. Hubby loves beers. He loves dark thick beer. I love light beers. We didn't like any of them however we drank them. Hubby said they were heavy. That's about it. I normally write long reviews. Thank you for the 2 free stickers. Hubby has a sticker door in the garage. We already placed them on the door. read more

Fun, small, local brewery. Friendly, helpful staff. Might be a dog on duty if you're lucky. I like their variety. Seems like there's a little bit of something for everyone. We were a fan of the micheladas. They have food stands. It would be good to verify if they'll have one on-site when you're there. If not, there's a little sub store right next door which was super tasty. read more

Super friendly, great beer wonderful owners! Stopped by while in the area and I'm so glad I did. What a great local gem! Wish I lived closer. I would for sure be here more often! Love supporting family owned places!! read more

We had a fantastic experience as far as customer service and beers go. The Hop Passport brought us into Red Tandem on a busy Saturday night. We were fortunate there was a table for 2 still open! We were served right away and with open arms. I wish I remembered which beers we got, but they were both lighter beers and very refreshing. Dog-friendly and there are TV screens mounted on the walls. Plenty of free parking outside. Highly recommend! read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon since we had bought a Groupon for 2 flights a while back. It is located in a strip mall in Oxnard by the beach - but the vibes inside don't feel like you're in a strip mall! The interior decorations were pretty cool; it isn't too big but has ample seating for at least 30 people I'd say, with a cool comfy looking couch as well. There are also different games to play such as chess, dominos, connect four ant others, which I think is cool to have! They had 8 beers on tap and rotate some seasonal ones as well. I'm not an IPA gal so I tried their blonde, oatmeal stout on nitro (yum!) and barley wine beer which I enjoyed all of very much - but I also did try one of their IPAs and kinda did actually enjoy it too! Our bartender was very nice and the whole vibe inside was chill and relaxed. They have pub mix and pretzels to snack on for free, and the pizza place next door delivers to you. There was a food truck outside when we came as well. They even had small bags of doritos or small cans of Pringles for sale for 50 cents as well. So although they have no actual "food," there are options. Overall, I really enjoyed Red Tandem and will come back when I'm in the area again! read more

This is the best of the best. Johanna, Mark, Chris and Doreen are amazing people, professional, and kind. The Red Tandem brews the finest beer and is an important part of Ventura County and the Oxnard Community. Thank you Red Tandem. read more

We happened upon the Red Tandem Brewery while riding our bikes in Oxnard on our anniversary weekend getaway. A band was setting up in the parking lot just outside. So we got a couple of beers and copped a squat on the curb to listen! The beer and the band was called The Hairy Monks, and both were very enjoyable! We even bought a 4-pack to bring home with us! If you're in the Oxnard area, I recommend you checking them out! read more

I was actually going to another brewery, but had a change of heart; and I wasn't disappointed. A few words to describe the environment, off the cuff, would be...quaint, catchy, fun, and local. Most people don't visit breweries to have a hip-spot to park a caboose. If anything; and most likely, a patron that frequents breweries is one who enjoys the crisp delights of a cold beer. A delight that passes the lips as it crosses the pallet, warms the chest, and fills the belly - leaving only a feeling of total completion and full satisfaction. That said, the Kickstand Kolsch hit the spot (if you couldn't tell). It was light, it was fresh, and it was delicious. The right amount of beer for a warm summers day. Final thoughts: If you live nearby, or are just passing through, Red Tandem should be on your "to do" list. Its worth the visit. read more

Easy location from the beach in an unassuming strip mall. Cute interior decorated with what else, red tandem bicycles!! Hubby tried a KICKSTAND KOLSCH 5.0ABV 26IBU. He said is just the right amount of hops. Refreshing on a very unusually hot day in Oxnard. I had water (hate beer) and free pretzels. Service was good. Greeted with a smile. read more

HAPPY NATIONAL BEER DAY!!! My husband wanted to go to a local brewery not too far from our home. He found Red Tandem Brewery on Yelp and asked if we could go there. I said sure. I am not a beer drinker, so basically I would just enjoy the cool vibes and watch the Notre Dame vs. Baylor Women's basketball game while he tried a few new beers. The vibe was chill! And the inside was very relaxed, clean and very welcoming. You can sit anywhere. There were a few tables and a long community table with red bar stools. There was beautiful, local art work by a young artist which is described in the descriptions. My husband went up to order his beer and was very happy with his selection. One of the ladies working there came up and she could tell I wasn't a beer drinker but offered to give me a taste of a couple of brews that were more on the wine-like spectrum of beers, which I did enjoy. I probably wouldn't order the one that had the most bitter after taste, but they were both floral and berry-like perfumes! They smelled amazing. The Belgium one was the one I enjoyed the most. It was smooth from start to finish. That would be lovely chilled ice-cold on a hot day! Although there were cafe tables and chairs, a community table with bar stools, there was also a beige couch which looked very comfortable. Many patrons brought their dogs on leashes, and luckily all the dogs were very good. All in all it was great experience. It is very close to home, but not so close that we could walk from our house in Port Hueneme. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting an unpretentious vibe and warm customer service. read more

We used a Groupon and took a nice drive out to Oxnard to visit the Red Tandem Brewery. Great selection of 7 beers brewed onsite. I went with 3 IPA's & a new Coconut Stout which was amazing. Definitely give this place a try. Lots of parking, and pizza next door. But if you ride up on a Red Tandem I'm sure there would be a bonus growler in it for you! read more

First time here , it's a little small space brewery but the vibe is fun. The bartender working right now is amazing . The crowd is a little older then the usual brewery's, nothing wrong with that, but if your used to seeing people scream shots shots this isn't it . This is a more adult peaceful no kids kind of place. And you can bring your best friend aka child " dog" lol read more

I will forever love this place. Great vibes. Beer selection is always on point. Johanna is amazing!

Great brewery! I loved how well thought out the theme is. The little touches really added to the experience. The bartender suggested that we try each of the beers since they had 8 on tap (perfect since we had purchased the 2 flights of 4 beers deal on Groupon ). Such a good idea! The beers were all delicious, even if some of them weren't quite my taste - but that's to be expected when you try such a varied menu. We came in about an hour after they opened on a Saturday, and the place began filling up quickly, with lots of folks riding in on their bikes (but never felt too crowded). Had a few board games and chess available. Once we finished our tastings we filled up our growler with our favorite beer before heading off; totally worth it since we got such a good deal! I'll definitely stop by again! read more

Red Tandem Brewery - Loved the themed flights! - Breweries Near Me - Oxnard, California

Nice folks, good beer. Kid friendly. Needs some atmosphere. It's a VERY small place, not a 'happening' place but neighborhood storefront.

I'm a home brewer and I have been to over two hundred breweries all over California, Oregon, Washington, Virginia, Texas, and Japan. Red Tandem is my favorite! The beer is always made well and it's always delicious. The atmosphere is laid back and the regulars are fun and friendly. The owner is lovely and a very skillful brewer. I had a lot of fun discussing her beers and geeking out over the flavor profiles. If I didn't live four hours away I would be there every weekend! read more

Nicest, coolest place to hangout with friends, have some really great tasting beer and just kick back and relax. Hungry? No problem just go next door to the Pizza Company and order your favorite pizza or sandwich and they will deliver to your table. This is the best thing to happen to the Shores in a long time. A hidden gem at the beach! Connect on instagram to see what's happening at the Red Tandem Brewery.

Took a drive up the coast, ended up in Oxnard at this brewery. I'm glad that I found it! It's really a gem. They have outdoor seating and food from a neighboring restaurant. The staff was very friendly and gave us tastings. The beer was pretty good! I'm an IPA fan and they had several on tap! read more

If you dont want to just drink and get drunk but have a bit of taste, love beer just because of its taste, thats the place. Its super fresh and super tasty. I stopped drinking beer because of my workouts but unfortunately turned back because of the delicious Dunkel. Owners are also really sweat people, as i can see. I am not a regular or everyday customer but whenever i visit or refill i get the same impression. I am lucky i live close to this place. read more

Always a favorite. Owners are super welcoming to all, the vibe is chill, and the beer is good. A great place to hang out. The beer changes periodically so always something new to try. Feels like a true small brewery, unlike many others in Ventura etc. read more

Red Tandem Brewery - a pint and a glass of beer - Breweries Near Me - Oxnard, California

A chill, relaxed and friendly feeling atmosphere is something I try to look for when checking out a brewery. Let me tell you, this place has that! Simple sign that says "brewery" outside the establishment, but vibrant upon entering the door. With the U.S. flag displayed along with my fellow service member flags, navy and marines, I cannot complain about this place. All in all, their selection of beer hits the spot. My wife and I had a couple of their beach blondes and tandem ales. Both beers were exactly what we wanted. The blonde was light and rich in flavor while the Tandem Dubbel was dark, rich and malty with the copper color I expect from it. This establishment gets my recommendation, and we will be back! PS, dogs are allowed read more

Just moved around the corner from this gem of a brewery and I must say I have been completely satisfied every time I have been here. Customer service is excellent and far better then all the breweries I have been to from Santa Barbara to LA. I definitely recommend a stop by this brewery if you are on this side of town. I needed to add this in ... I went to red Tandem Brewery July 3rd and a female was working this day , when I usually go in there is a male working. Anyway , the female is definitely not as inviting and is very short and almost has this we bothered her attitude going on. I hopefully won't encounter her again. The male that works there is far more inviting and helpful. read more

I can't believe this has been almost 2 years.This is a fun little place and we love that it is walking distance from home. We meet neighbors here that we never would have known before. This is privately owned and beer is brewed on site. One or both of the owners are usually there and always have a friendly word for everyone. The beers rotate frequently so,if you like like it, drink up because it may not be there tomorrow. The double IPA will make you glad you did not drive there, the stout are hardy, and there are delicious lighter brews available as well. my favorite is the Sea Hag IPA and the Black stallion, when they have it. If you are hungry you can order delivery. There is excellent Pizza right next door and they will walk it over with a smile. This is not a fancy place, but the beer is among the best (true) microbrews in the area. Insider tip: they are usually open on holidays for when you need a break after the break. Cheers. read more
