I stopped by a couple of days ago, and forgot to post a yelp on the great experience I had with Nick! Not only did he educate me on their cocktail list, but he helped on a personal level with his conversation skills! I wasn't have the best day, not the best couple of weeks. Sitting at the bar top with Nick helped me feel okay again! Great drinks and great personality! Check them out!

Tried the Backdoor Bento lunch menu. Super cute presentation and a great combo setup for lunch…read more The Good: The meat and seafood were on point. Really fresh and delicious. The Catch: Sadly, the sides missed the mark. Both the egg and cucumber were way too salty, which was a letdown. Great quality on the mains but the execution on the sides needs work. Still a solid 3/5 for the meat and seafood quality.

I felt comfortable and eager to return this evening to play pool after an early dinner with a friend. An older woman often finds it hard to play pool in a bar without feeling uneasy.

I was enjoying everything until I was accosted by a guy who would fit better at Walmart as a greeter! He was loud and obnoxious... jumped into others conversations and I heard him trying to bum a drink! The bartender was oblivious! He kept closing the back door where the pool players were coming in from... I'm not sure why, but he wasn't sitting anywhere near the tables. I think his name was Kevin,,, but the way he acted he could've passed for a Karen. I don't appreciate Bartenders that don't "Police" rude Jerks.... I'm local so I might go back another time because it's convienent, but if Kevin is there I'm walking out!

Beer Pressure…read more Classic American Pub located in Ventura that features over one hundred beers on tap and classic American comfort foods in a surprisingly family-friendly environment. The Good: * Beyond all the beers on tap, they also have a full bar. * Service was friendly and pretty good overall. * Secret menu for both food and drink. Shhhh...! * Their wings were fantastic! You've really gotta try the Strawbanero (Strawberry-Habanero) sauce, as it was a sweet and savory bite that had all three of us fighting over. * Buffalo Barrels (aka Tater Tots) were worth the $5 upgrade. But, I'm somewhat of a Tater Tot junkie, so take that advice for what it's worth. * Fries were fantastic, as well. * Short Rib Melt was delicious, but very, very rich. It could've used a little relief like some pickles either on it or on the side. The Meh: * They do have their own parking lot, but it is smallish and can fill up fast. There is some street parking available, as well. The Ugly: * They had a lot of beers that were out of commission, including several that I was pretty excited to try. =/ Conclusion: Great spot to get your suds and spuds!
