The brewery is super cute and cozy, with wood/black accents and a boutique shop in the corner featuring local artists. There is plenty of places to sit inside or outside or at the bar. The bartender helped me pick a beer, and it was happy hour, so I only spent $5 on my 16oz pour :) We shared the Krupuk and pickle plate. Krupuk = airy tapioca chips, melt-in-your-mouth or crispy, with two flavorful sauces. It was a pretty large bowl so great for sharing. The pickle plate was lovely, 4 types of pickled vegetables (cucumbers, red/white onions, and bell peppers) which went great with the krupuk. Great place to pass the time!

Their selection of brews are pretty extensive, so we selected a couple of samplers. I got The Tux, a nitro milk stout, and a seasonal cider (something with Harvest in the name), while my friend got the Good Good and Light Hike. Everything tasted great, though I'd probably ordered the cider again. We also ordered food from Sama Sama, a serving of their Wagyu Beef Sando and Chicken Sando. Wait time was roughly 10 minutes and was surprisingly served with a side of prawn crackers. I kept thinking that the wagyu was incredibly easy to eat and was done before I knew. Portion-wise it's a bit on the small side, but it had great flavor. All in all, a good place to past the time.

Played pool and enjoyed the vibe. Definitely going back again. Thanks The Hut !

Jeremy was super chill…read more I visit Oja Valley Brewery with my family and my little fur friend and it was definitely a hot day. Super dog friendly and they have a dog beds under the pool table. Our dog Goro was panting pretty hard and Jeremy offered us that we can try to wash him down in the sink which I was very touched as lot of places are not like this. When we walked in the live band was setting up to leave but very spacious place and they have a great selection of beers and wines. Jeremy said he makes beer and his wife makes wine there. He even had the TV set up for the World Cup game. We ended up sitting inside due to heat but outside was super cute spot to sit. They have firepits and plenty of seating areas. We tried Pixie and J.F.B. and opted in for the large beer. Definitely a pot that we will return if we ever go back to Ojai.

They took the time to answer questions and make recommendations, which made the experience even better. We tried the Spritz and the Accidental Belgium, and both were incredibly refreshing and full of flavor. The beers were well-crafted and perfect for a warm Ojai day. The atmosphere is relaxed, comfortable, and inviting--an ideal spot to unwind with friends or family. Great brews, exceptional service, and a laid-back vibe make Ojai Valley Brewery a must-visit. We'll definitely be back!

Beautiful scenery and delicious lunch what more can you ask for. The Customer service was friendly and attentive. The fish tacos I ordered were so good, probably the best one ever.

No bad oil taste, crispy goodness. The appetizer we ordered came with a big warm puffy bread. Soooo good. Labneh and roaster pepper dip. We enjoyed every bite and dip. Overall a wonderful place to eat at when in Ojai. Specially if you are staying at the hotel. I can't wait to go back and order the fish tacos again. And a burger. lol

The Hub has that old-school, no-frills, local hangout vibe that feels like it's been there through a thousand Ojai sunsets. It's cozy, unpretentious, and genuinely fun. The drinks were solid, the atmosphere was relaxed, and it felt like one of those places where you can actually exhale and just be. The service was perfect! Rob was the absolute best! If you're expecting craft cocktail theatrics and curated Instagram lighting, this isn't your spot. If you want a cute, classic dive with personality and good energy, it absolutely is. Support local. Bring cash. Enjoy the vibe.

It was a bit warm to sit outside (80°F) and the wait for outdoor was 30 min so we opt to sit inside. We still had a nice view of the golf course and the rolling hills behind the golf course. By the bar area is a huge bar bench with a huge open window. We didn't notice that spot otherwise I would have suggested it. (Next time!) The lunch prices were really great. Our total bill with tip was $50. I got the buffalo chicken sandwich that was delicious, juicy but also really messy. And my friend got the Bistro Burger. We spit out sandwich/burger in half with one another to try both. Although I liked my Buffalo chicken, I think I preferred the burger. We also both upgraded to truffle fries.

Upon arrival, the staff seemed a bit frazzled. The menu changed a few times, which made things a little confusing, but the two women helping us were very kind and did their best, they just didn't seem fully prepared for a group our size. We kept our orders simple, and surprisingly, the food came out extremely fast... before the coffee even arrived. Overall though, the food was good. I had the avocado toast, which was really tasty, and everyone in the group seemed to enjoy what they ordered. The real standout here is the setting, the golf course and surrounding grounds are absolutely beautiful and make for a really nice atmosphere. Overall, a solid spot for smaller groups or a casual outing, but larger parties might be a bit of a challenge for them.
