    I've been here 3 times and every time I've been here I've met other incredible people (including the owner) From the food next door to the ambiance I didn't want to leave

    Nice cozy speakeasy close by home. Nice environment. Friendly staff. Offer drink recommendations based on what spirits you like. Will definitely come back some time soon. There's an entrance thru basil n mint or there is also an exterior entrance where you bypass going thru the restaurant.

    What a (quite literally) hidden gem smack dab in the middle of Camarillo! This little bar brings all the fun of a speakeasy while still bringing great drinks to the table. As described, retro-themed bar with prohibition-area decor. Great selection of drinks and liquor. Definitely a smaller location with limited seating. Not sure if they stop letting people in when it gets busier or not. Overall, such a great place to grab a drink - whether alone, on a date, or with friends. Hands down recommend.

    Front entrance, around side of restaurant.

    In reading reviews on Yelp, I thought it best to go prior to my appointed day to check this place out. For those who may be concerned about where the entrance is, I have uploaded a picture of their front door, which is around the side of the Basil and Mint restaurant. Inside was cute and cool. It is small, as others have said, but we got there at 6:00 on a Wednesday it was empty. The waiter was informative and friendly offering us options on their drinks. Super high quality drinks as quoted by my friend who had himself a Manhattan! We'll definitely be going there again because of how cute the place is; oh, and prices were reasonable. I would describe it as being the epitome of a "speakeasy".

    Shhhh, don't tell anybody about this well kept secret. I originally thought this place was inside Basil and Mint restaurant and apparently so do many others. This place is actually located around the corner through a door with no signs posted. Stepping through the door you are transferred back into time to the classic speakeasy days. The menu consists of nine pages of elegant drinks that will tickle your taste buds. They have everything imaginable as far as alcohol is concerned. Bartenders were experts at their craft and made some really delicious drinks. You can tell by watching them that they really take it seriously and put some really good thought in preparing your drink. They do change up the menu once in a while apparently so there will always be different options to try. This is the go to spot in Camarillo for the best cocktails money can buy.

    Whiskey Sour and Gin Martini, delicioso.

    Bottom line is, amazing drinks. High quality cocktails. Even better on the nights they got chill live music.

    No food, service was fantastic, and the ambiance was sexy. I l9ve coming here every time.

    OPEN ON WEDNESDAYS AND SUNDAYS! DONT let the mistaken hours of operation online fool you! This place is best known for their craft cocktails and loved for their staff and service. Whether you're a local, traveling, or live a few cities away, it's a top tier craft cocktail bar you don't wannnna sleep on.

    to be honest, this bar exceeded all my expectations! stoped for a drink because we were in the area, and it turnt into 4 drinks because of how incredibly great they were! huge selection with all the classics as well as very creative signature drinks. amazing service and prices too. we happened to be there on the night of live music which was such a nice addition. highly recommend for a date night and can't wait to go back!

    Beautiful bar with a great selection

He was in a lengthy, loud conversation with 1 lady sitting at the bar. There was one other man eating, at the table next to us, he was an employee. I had to go up to the bar and mentioned to him it was our first time here. He didn't seem to volunteer, any information on how to order, until I asked him. Then he just said there is a number on the table to order. I asked if he had a menu, he seemed bothered that I asked for a menu. He mentioned I could order from the hostess, so I did. She was very nice and polite and took our order. While waiting for the pizza, trying to get the napkin dispenser on the table to work. They were not even popping up to use. Bar tender ignored the tapping the dispenser on the table. So I switched one dispenser from another table to ours. He never said a word when I tried to get the napkins to pop up. The bartender looked and took the faulty ones and placed them on the bar counter, and never tended to the problem. He didn't even say anything, not a sorry about that, He just continued talking to the lady. Pizza was delivered and we had a few slices left. I just went to the hostess and asked her for a box. She was very fast and we thanked her on our way out. He did not do anything behind the bar, other than talk to the lady. Then he served her a drink, and then waved his hand over the screen, it appeared he didn't charge her for the drink, He did not type in anything. Then a man walked in and sat at the bar, he ordered a beer. Then suddenly bar tender, has lots of work to do, moving around the bar like he is supposed to. It was like someone knows somebody in the business. He was slacking and ignoring us, he never asked, is everything okay or if we needed a pizza box to go, I was already asking the hostess for a box. Probably because I got my own napkins, because I didn't want to interrupt him talking to the lady. We will not be going back to the 999 pizza Tiki bar. I am giving 1 star for the bar service. 5 Stars to the hostess.

That was a HH the likes of which will never be seen again. But I digress...TODAY is today! Great, private parking lot with easy in/out. We came in for a lovely dinner and got just that. Seated immediately and in a comfy booth along the wall, perfect for people watching. SO. MANY. PEOPLE! I wasn't expecting a restaurant to be so full on a Tuesday night, but when you're as good as Ottavio's you develop a loyal following of locals who enjoy their time here. Many celebrations were obviously being had in just our little portion of the restaurant. There are multiple rooms, accommodating various sized parties, and the hot, delicious Italian faire just kept coming. Fresh, warm bread was delivered with our water and we dove into that doughy deliciousness strait away. Hubs went with a 50/50 plate of spaghetti and cheese ravioli with a meat sauce and added meatballs. I snuck a bite of the meatballs and they were very good, as was the sauce. I opted for the Tortellini Silvana, which was described as cheese tortellini w/sauteed chicken, fresh spinach, basil and sun dried tomato cream sauce. It was FABulous! Light and delicate sauce with full flavor. A generous portion, I took about 1/2 home! Our entrees each came with a choice of soup or salad. Hubs chose Italian Wedding and I went with Minestrone. (Side note: I knew well and good I would be having 2 soups, so I wanted to try both. ;-D) Both were made from scratch and delicious! I was impressed with how fluid the staff worked along side one another. Drinks then food then boxing and the check and - voila! - table turned and on to the next group, all while maintaining a welcoming and pleasurable attitude and friendly service. We are sure to have another meal here, next time we're craving old school Italian, homemade, handed down family recipes in Camarillo. Cheers! "CC"

    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.
