“ Great drink specials and brunch food. Really cool looking space too hidden gem in Ventura for sure... ... ”
“ I came here last Sunday afternoon with a group of friends for the first time since they reopened and I had such a great time. We ordered the sliders with some tots and the food really hit the spot. Simple but delicious! We played pool in their cozy pool room by the warm fireplace and it was so nice. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, the drinks were delicious and the vibe was very laid back for a sunday. They also were extremely helpful when it came to returning my pool sticks as I had forgotten them there. Overall great people, great food, great drinks and great staff and ownership! I hope to see this place booming with business and reenergizing the ventura nightlife :) ”

“ My co worker took me out for some food I have to say I was very impressed burgers were nice and juicy and fries were very tasty ”
“ I love the vibe of this place. The old architecture is such a draw. I love seeing old buildings repurposed instead of being torn down. There are so many places you can unwind there and relax while enjoying being downtown. It's such a charming place with a great vibe ”
“ I'm SO happy this place is back, and it looks like it's back to stay! This was THE spot years ago and I was so sad when they closed down and became a country bar, then an event place, now it's back in all its glory! The wings and the Caesar salad were great, the drinks were as great as ever. Definitely gonna be back! ”
