Staying at this end of the beach was an adventure in local bars. After walking all the way down to…read morethe end of the silverstrand beach, we tackled the mounds of sand to reach the street and this hidden gem. We were there a bit early so we needed to wait 15 or so minutes for it to open per the time listed here on Yelp. We hung out on the sidewalk counting the seconds until noon, only to be disappointed as we walked by and saw a sign in the door that said 1pm. We continued on our way and went to another local bar only to return hours later via car because I had had my exercise for the day. We got lucky in finding a parking spot because this is a small area, so cross your fingers. We found 2 seats at the bar and marvelled at the selection of microbrews. For a Saturday afternoon, the place slowly filled up with locals as everyone watched the basketball finals on the tvs. Bartender was very welcoming as were the locals we chatted with. I'm not much of a beer drinker, but did find something to drink. My partner was in heaven sampling and trying new brews. Would love to return later in the evening to see how this place fills up and to enjoy more of the locals and what it would be like living in this hidden community. So shhhh! Don't tell anyone about this gem.

If you're going to hang your hat on the speakeasy aesthetic--dim lights, hushed tones, whispers of…read moreexclusivity--then understand this: you're entering into an unspoken pact with your patrons. We expect a certain standard, a level of care that borders on obsession. So when I catch Evan Williams--respectable, questionable, but barely twelve bucks a bottle--making an appearance behind the bar, it feels like a breach of trust. A quiet betrayal under low lighting. The illusion only works if the details hold up under scrutiny... and that pour? It broke the spell. And then comes the real offense: discovering that your Old Fashioned--the crown jewel of any respectable cocktail program--are built on bottom-shelf, dust-collecting bourbon. That's not just a letdown, it's a slap in the face. A cocktail like that deserves reverence, not shortcuts. And as if to twist the knife, there it was--a massive can of red maraschino cherries sitting shamelessly atop the bar, like some relic from a dive that's given up on finesse. It wasn't just a misstep. It was disrespect. In a place claiming the speakeasy mantle, details like these matter. They're the difference between theater and parody. The cocktails did not warrant the $15 price tag. Moreover, I would have paid more had I know the class of bourbon upfront. What ultimately redeems the space is its ambiance. The low flicker of the fireplace, the soft embrace of worn leather sofas, the curated hum of music floating just above conversation--it's seductive, even soulful. The room itself is small, intimate--the kind of place where you're bound to recognize a face, or at the very least, feel inclined to invite a stranger to share the sofa and maybe a story. And then there's the setting--tucked beneath a historic relic, a basement bar built into the bones of old Americana. The building dates back to the early 1900s, echoing with a past that deserves to be honored, not phoned in. That's exactly why I expected more from the cocktails. A place with this much atmosphere shouldn't fall flat when it comes to what's in the glass. It's a mismatch--a beautiful stage, but a script that doesn't quite rise to meet it.

Also, know that they do not allow ANY outside drinks, even though there are no signs or warnings posted outside the building. My friend brought water in, and a bartender instantly came and took it from her hand. They told her that no drinks were allowed and they'd have to throw it away. My friend asked if she could put it in her car, and they said she wouldn't be allowed back in. I understand not allowing outside drinks, but there were no signs highlighting the rule, and threatening to ban someone for simply asking if she could put the drink away is too excessive. Pretty disappointing night and I'd suggest finding a different spot if you care about cleanliness and being treated respectfully.

Every staff member is super nice, always greeting guests with a smile. The entire property is spotless. Maybe they went through a renovation, perhaps, but even under the beds were zero dust -- a spot usually neglected by housekeeping. Not here, it seems. Amenities were replenished ((hand soap, shampoo, etc.,) as well. Everything worked flawlessly (mini fridge, both TVs, and A/C.) The free breakfast area is also well-stocked and fresher than most HIE properties. It's your typical selections, but well tended to. The loss of a star was due to the lack of a hot shower. The water temperature was warm enough to get by, but not where it should be. Ample, well lit parking, front and rear. Plenty of take-out options just across the street, too.

I've been coming to this restaurant for years and have always tried to give places the benefit of…read morethe doubt, especially as someone who has worked as a server for over 7 years. Unfortunately, this was by far my worst experience here. First, I want to thank the busser who helped us (a kind Latinx gentleman). He was attentive, checked on us often, and showed genuine care.. far more than our actual server, MELISSA. MELISSA provided minimal to no customer service. She took our order without any warmth, never checked on us, and didn't offer refills, everything was handled by bussers. Our food came out only slightly warm, and portions were noticeably smaller than what we've received in the past, which is disappointing given the prices. What was most concerning and difficult to ignore was the clear difference in how MELISSA treated us compared to another table seated right next to us. When a Caucasian family was seated nearby, her entire demeanor changed. She became attentive, friendly, and engaged in a way she never once did with us. The contrast was immediate and obvious. After we finished, we paid our bill in full (including a 20% tip, despite the poor service) and left calmly. As we were walking to our car, MELISSA ran after us and questioned whether we had paid. This was not only embarrassing, but deeply upsetting. There was no attempt to verify with staff first, just an immediate assumption directed at us. As a server myself, I know how situations like this should be handled, and this was not it. Being singled out and approached this way, especially after already experiencing noticeably different treatment inside the restaurant, felt like profiling and discrimination. This all took place on what was supposed to be a nice Easter breakfast with my family, which made the experience even more disappointing. I did call to speak with a manager, who seemed to listen, but the overall situation was unacceptable. I will not be returning. There are plenty of other local smaller businesses in Oxnard that treat all guests with fairness, respect, and professionalism.

It was our wedding and my husband and I were not served first. There is no organization with the manager she is all over the place. Never has a notebook to take notes during meetings it is very concerning. She told one of my guests there was only fruit because i didnt pay for appetizers to be served before dinner. Professionalism awful going back and forth in text messages instead of being solution driven and making it right. Example she was including a "free" cake to seal the deal! She had sent my husband a text with a list of flavors. We chose them this was an event for 300 ppl so we got a tiered cake and 2 side cakes. Well one of the options she said wasn't in her list even though it was. They went back and forth and her resolution was giving us a check for $900 and expressing she was "done" . We paid you $25k you cant just be "done " extremely unprofessional. READ YOUR CONTRACT! She did not explain that the 2 million dollars worth of coverage was not included. Get your own event insurance. The phone number given was to a guy that was completely unprofessional I went through google got more days covered and paid $175 instead of the $335 from her recommendation and it was the exact same company. Bar service that they provided was absolutely terrible my ceremony started at 2 so bar should have been stocked up and ready the night before or early that morning. They rolled in at 1:30 and were not ready to serve until 2 and the beers were warm By 530 they were already running out of basics like Pacifico. Also bar was EXPENSIVE service was slow. There were so many negatives I could go on and on. I WOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMEND HAVING AN EVENT HERE.
