From the moment we stepped into Loose Cannon, you could feel the good vibes and exciting atmosphere. You could see families enjoying the night, which made it even more special. It was wonderful to see that they are pet-friendly to service dogs, and people were truly understanding and welcoming. The food was delicious and full of great flavor, which really added to the overall experience. What made the night even better was Miguel, an employee at Loose Cannon, who gave us great recommendations and was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He made sure my friends and I were comfortable and truly enjoying our night. I would definitely recommend going with friends and family. The music was one of my favorite things about Loose Cannon and really brought the whole experience together. read more

If I could do half stars I probably would have given them a 3.5. If you read my review, you will understand why I rounded up instead of down. Came here since we have been wanting to try it since it opened. My son always sees it and always want to go inside, as well. I love that they have a mini bowling game since that's another thing my son has been wanting to do. We get here, I go to the bar and order a beer and some food. I really like their selection of beer. I like how they have some that they switch out. I ended up getting their rotating nitro stout. Food I got their pretzel and their veggie burger with fries. Veggie burger was for my husband which he said he would go back for. Pretzel was nice and soft which is my favorite style of pretzel. The cheese sauce it comes with was really good. I am glad I found their selection of the mustards they have prior to finishing the pretzel. Found some pretty good ones I liked. Overall the worker and ordering experience was nice. Now here comes the part that was a bummer. Something was going on with their network so none of the games were working. Luckily since we had ordered drinks and food we had time to see if they would get it back up, but no good. We walked around at the Harbor and still nothing. Son was definitely sad, but he somewhat understood. I believe it was the manager, they helped us get a refund for the amount we loaded onto a card to play. Which when that happened they didn't sound to confident they had done it successfully. I believe we did get a refund for it. Overall, despite that, all the workers we encountered were nice and sweet. We will eventually go back and try it again. read more

Great food. Great service, especially HT! And they take care of the little ones there. Good spot for the kids and for adults to grab a cold frothy! read more

Okay, I truly have mixed feelings about this cool adult/kids, Bar/arcade, restaurant/ bar .... So I was at a kids birthday party and at first its cool, cause of the location, the waterfront, the arcade games, the bar, the string of light! Cool right? Well, its cool if you you remember that its also a kid establishment!!! Such a cool spot for adults and drinking that it feels more like an adult hangout spot rather than a "kids" fun spot. Also, the Margarita bar upstairs doesnt help. I noticed how all the adults were at the bar or upstairs and the kids were just like, "more tokens please, and the prizes sucked!" Dont get me wrong this place is very cool, the games and mini bowling are all great!!! I just dont think its for kids if the adults are just going to end up at the bar. Also, because of the layout of the restaurant, a lot of the smaller kids kept walking out of the restaurant/bar and started walking towards the rest of the harbor shops! You definitely cannot be at the bar and have the kids in an open restaurant/bar. The food part, well just eat before you go! Paper thin pizza was definitely not worth it! I probably wont be back for another kids party, but for beer with friends DEFINITELY!!!! Cheers to fun adult spots! read more

Nice little find within the harbor in Ventura. It was a chilly day, but the sun was out so that was nice however, we did still sit by the outdoor fire table to try and stay warm. It would be better if it was a fire pit versus a fire table, but nonetheless, it was still a nice addition. I had a great kombucha on tap, and the staff was really kind in letting me try a number of different things before I made my decision. read more

This is a great spot for both adults and kids. The service here is friendly and welcoming, and the food comes out quickly, perfect when you've got hungry kids are just wanting something easy and enjoyable. The food itself is decent and hits a spot for a casual meal. What really makes this place shine is how kid friendly it is. There are tons of video games and arcade games to keep little ones entertained while adults can enjoy the game on the large TVs playing sports and a full bar with plenty of options. And the scenery is the icing on the cake, the harbor views make the whole experience feel extra, relaxing and fun a solid choice for family outings or low-key nights out. Bonus outdoor seating complete with views and fire pit tables. read more

I love the concept of a place that is family-friendly where people can go grab a drink and food with their family. They have an extensive list of beers to choose from, but I wish there were more options for those of us that don't really drink beer. I ordered a rotating cider which came in a surprisingly large mug! I liked it and drank most of it. My husband ordered a beer flight, and he was happy with his selections. We also had a pizza, and my daughter had a hot dog. The food tasted much better than what I was expecting! The service was good. You can order your drinks and take them with you, but your food will be delivered to your table. The person who took our orders was knowledgeable and answered some questions we had about their menu. The person who brought our food asked if we needed anything else. We spent some time playing on the arcade games, and we particularly enjoyed the virtual reality game. It was a lot of fun, but it did use up most of our points. I appreciated that they also had some free games to play, such as a foosball table. Our family had a wonderful time there and will definitely be returning! read more

This review is for the bar service bc I didn't try anything else. Overall not a bad vibe for fun parents with kids for a quick stop for a drink and keep the kids busy kind of vibe ! Or even a first date to see how competitive they are kind of day/night . They have a good variety of drinks to try out and the menu doesn't look too bad (note to self: don't eat before trying out a new place lol). I got their Honest Abe rotating cider 5% ABV . I like ciders and this hit the spot. You get a mouth full of its subtle fruity body and ends refreshingly crisp. Service was great and even though it was a bit slow midday (don't judge me :)), they don't act like they don't want to be there ( you know what I mean ) . PS. They have happy hour during the day . There's no "list list" but from what I was told by the nice bartender is as follows as of today: Pint- $1 off 25oz- $1.5 off Stein- $2 off Boot- $2.5 off read more

We got here late after driving and honestly we didn't know what to expect. It's right in Ventura harbor, close to many ferries and shops. The pizza was excellent! Like I would happily go back. The hot honey pizza was awesome. The beer was great too. I think we only paid 60 dollars or so. So I think it was good value. It looks like a fun place for kids with an arcade. So just an FYI. The staff was friendly and our food and beer was good. We went in the evening and it was nice. Real relaxing. The food was great and overall I'd happily return read more

The Loose Cannon - Hot honey pizza - Arcades Near Me - Ventura, California

Came to try the Loose Cannon last weekend for a quick beer and to watch some of the Dodgers game. This is definitely a great new addition to the Ventura Harbor. Loose Cannon is located inside the old arcade area with an updated arcade. This area is fun for kids to play games and it's nice that Cannon has beer and food. The interior was very spacious and thankfully clean despite holding space with an arcade area. I know this business is new so I hope that they keep up with appearances as it was very nice inside and welcoming. There was also some good space between the gaming area and the main beer bar and high top tables. They had large screens to broadcast the games and while it's too loud inside to really hear the tvs well at least you get a visual and can watch your sports while grabbing a drink. I ordered a beer up at the counter and took it to a low picnic bench. On the bar area they had a few menus showcasing their food and beers on tap. The bartender was friendly but also busy so it was a quick exchange. I didn't mind that. The only reason I docked a star as I personally like to keep my drinking separate from child play areas lol. That's why I'm not a gal you'll catch often drinking beers at arcades, breweries with kids games, and so forth. I get it - parents need an escape and it's convenient for them to be able to eat out and drink while their kids play nearby. Just for me personally I like a bar or beer bar that feels like the adults only 21+ vibe. For that reason this spot won't be on my regular rotation but I can appreciate this spot for what it is. It's a nice new stopping point on the harbor and the vibes were good and I'd definitely come back to try some food and to grab another drink. Probably a spot I'd frequent on a weekday while the kids are at school. Check this spot out for yourself, it's fun and they did a good job conceptualizing this space. read more

Walked in on a Sunday during a crazy event for Halloween at the harbor. It was super busy. The staff is friendly and apologetic for the wait. There are ALOT of machines for your littles to play with so I love the fact that it is family friendly. Public restroom warning-no restrooms inside the place but directly outside which were pretty clean. They do lack the choices for sodas but I'm sure in time that can be fixed. I got the OG smash burger which tasted very home made so I have zero complaints on that. Sadly we ordered the presto pizza and it came out very burnt. Not sure if they were just rushing because it took over 40 min to get this out to us. eh the pizza is a no go for me esp at 22 a piece. I'd come back esp with all the machines they have to entertain the littles. read more

Service is ok. A bit disjointed. Order here...go there...etc. Definitely an elevated Chuck E Cheese situation. Arcade/bar/loud music. I feel like they're not totally sure who they are yet. Our food arrived with no silverware ( food was good btw). Staff left without even questioning dropping off 3 full meals without set ups. We were outside where it was windy and cold. Staff didn't even think to offer to turn on the fire pits, which were there. I guess my main complaint would be things were not thoughtful. 60 dollars for a few chicken tenders, burger and salad served with no silverware or follow up or even " hey, you're outside and here's this cool fire pit but I won't even ask if you'd like it lit". I eventually got up to find my own napkins and forks. read more

Where's Jon Taffer when you need him? Went here on a Sunday afternoon and place was dead. More than half the arcade machines were out of order and food was gross. They were playing music with curse words and I had small children with me. Don't waste your money here. We definitely won't be back read more

I love brats and pizza. This place has great representations of both. They have a thin sourdough crust pizzas. The brats are delicious and they have many mustard options. We're here midweek so it's quiet. A good option for families as there are things to engage children. Pricing is reasonable and it's dog friendly. read more

Stopped in here on a whim because I was really hungry & in the mood for pizza. The place wasn't busy, but was extremely noisy as it's a combination restaurant, bar, and children's arcade and they have music and TVs on making noise as well. The pizza I ordered didn't take too long to arrive, but it was barely warm. It tasted great but I wish it had been the proper temperature. read more

So my favorite Biergarten in SB is the same owner here. So stoked I don't have to drive north to enjoy them. My kids love to play here, I love the mini bowling. And favorite is the cherry blossom cider. I hope y'all stick around. Be back again soon. Love their pizza beet salad brawts sampler large pretzel and dip ... fan all the way around. :) read more

Very nice and inexpensive spot in Ventura to grab a beer with the family. I like what they did with this spot in the Ventura Harbor that used to be an arcade. The prices are very accessible and the selection of beer is great. There are many games for the kids and adults and their bites are tasty. I got a beer flight that was one of the coolest I've ever had, because of its size and style. Their service was friendly and fast. The pepperoni pizza was very tasty and my wife got the jalapeño cheddar bacon sausage which was delicious. My son and wife loved the Godzilla virtual reality (VR) game and we played in the foosball table altogether before we left. All in all this was a fabulous experience that we will repeat again soon. Very recommended!! If you're in the area go pay them a visit and enjoy a great family time. read more

Super disappointed. Stopped in there with the family. Looks awesome. Asked about bowling- a waitress said it'a $7/person and to pay at the "red machine". Went over there it was put in $60 or $20.... Didn't say for what or how many credits or anything. Nobody is helpful. Stupid. Waste of time. Something else better could take this place over with actual customer service. read more

I came in here with my niece for the first time today. It was fun playing the arcade games. I didn't try their food or beer, but would like to try it. Customer service was great when I bought the card to play the arcade games with. The place is actually big. I was surprised. I would definitely return. :) read more

Great pizza, great atmosphere, great service!!! The pizza we got was really delicious, made with a 15 yr old sourdough starter and topped with bacon, fig, and goat cheese. I also loved the server, he was so chill and funny. The music playing was like early 2000's pop/punk and we were LOVING it. I'll definitely come back here in the summer! read more

Brought back a lot of nostalgia being back at the harbor with arcade games with the kiddo! Great food (mustard [cranberry mustard is a must] and sausage for days and GREAT PIZZA !) and amazing service too. Ash was absolutely AWESOME! Arcade games were so fun for the little man (and big man too ) and the baseball game was playing on the big screen with an ocean front view! Doesn't get any better than this! Highly recommend for a family trip out; there is something for everyone! read more

Spend your money elsewhere. The staff are somehow all incredibly rude and condescending. Volume level is insane and headache inducing. Not sure what was worse, how loud it was or how openly disrespectful the staff are but please go waste your money and your time on a business that deserves it.

We have been here several times, so, first, we keep coming back. Second, the food, I love the Cherry Lime seltzer, and the pretzel with that amazing cheese! Forget about it! Though I obviously can't! Just wanted to say we went there on a Weds night and they were very slow and getting ready to close up early. But the young ladies behind the counter said, don't worry, we will put your order in before we close the kitchen and will hang out as long as you'd like. In short, GREAT customer service! read more

Yesterday was our first time visiting and we are locals of the area and I must say, we were greatly impressed. My husband and friend had the jalapeno popper burger and said it was the best burger they had in as long as they can remember. We also ordered the onion rings, I can honestly say, they have perfected the onion ring! I ordered the peperoni pizza, which is not very adventerous but I consider myself a pizza connaisseur, and I have to say, it was fantastic. Also, the beer selection was incredible and the service was wonderful. The staff opened the sliding doors to accomidate us while sitting outside and we enjoyed 2 lovely hours sitting outside. My husbands only comment being old school is, he would like to see a couple of pinball machines added one day. But we will definitly made this place a part of our montly lunch ritual. We are so happy to find a new gem in the harbor! read more

Unique new spot at the Ventura Harbor! Lots of games including a bowling alley! I would love to go back read more

The Loose Cannon - Bowling alley - Arcades Near Me - Ventura, California

The Loose Cannon is currently... a loose cannon. I would give this place a few months to a year to build character and a personality. The open spaces, gray walls, and zero decor makes you feel that they were forced to open too soon. I think many expected a beer garden or even a brewery to open, but instead a mix of local and non-local beers were on tap. We didn't try the food, but based on the recent Instagram videos, probably a good thing. There are arcade games, but limited. The mini bowling alley is cool. To the positives... Spectacular view. Service is great with smiling employees who care. Overall, I felt like we walked into a soft opening or unfinished build. It is exciting to see more places opening at the harbor, being that it's an area with so much upcoming potential. We'll stop by again in a few months! read more

We were so excited to have a new dining option in Ventura. Food was decent. Not stellar but not bad. However, there are significant issues related to seating, especially for folks who have a disability which overshadowed our visit. Inside seating consists of only high top or picnic style tables, the latter of which have bars at the ends that would prohibit one from rolling up a wheelchair. These bars also make it so one must physically hike their leg up and over the bench as you cannot slide in from the side. So unless you're able to sit at a high top or manage the picnic table, you're relegated to an outside table. To the establishment's defense, they did spruce up the outside with a couple of fire pits. However, these were both occupied and it was cold outside so we had to sit inside. (Visited at night in December.) Also, with no table top surface at the fire pits it would be challenging to eat a meal there anyway. Sadly, we had already ordered before I realized the seating issue (you order at the counter near the front door) and I had to call my mom and tell her not to come as there simply was nowhere for her to sit. (I did notice a low lying metal surface added at the end of the bar where I suppose one could roll up a wheelchair, but there were stacks of papers or something on it so it was unclear as to whether or not this was the designated spot for people with disabilities. Additionally, this "table" was very small - she would not have been able to dine with the family.) The lack of disability-friendly seating is such a huge oversight and I'm shocked and saddened at the lack of regard for people with disabilities. I hope they fix this issue so that all members of this community can enjoy this establishment. Until then, we will not be back. read more

A group of 6 of us visited on Sunday afternoon before the holidays. We found a firepit table outside along the water line that set the perfect mood. We ordered several beers, ciders and sangria. All were refreshing, but the Einstock white ale and cherry blossom lime seltzer were my favorites! My sister enjoyed the sangria. We ordered the spicy Hawaiian wood fired pizza, the sausage sampler and the Bavarian pretzel. My favorite was the chicken apple sausage and my partner enjoyed the jalapeño cheddar bacon. Don't forget to check out the condiments wall. We didn't get to play any games, but it wasn't needed because we enjoyed the food, drink and promenade. Will be back soon! read more
