Best cocktails in Ventura. Bartenders are amazing. Jordan always delivers a great experience.

We used to go to this place all the time but the last few times are the worst.. food is not as good and the service is the worst now. They also don't check their beers anymore. My husband is a beer drinker and brewed his own beer too. Last time we came here, the IPA was already bad and so my husband told the bartender. Bartender completely ignored my husband and had us pay for the bad beer still after one sip. She told my husband "that's just how IPA's are." Obviously not a beer drinker herself or just being bad at her job. Obviously doesn't care about customers. Spent most definitely thousands of dollars here through the year and gave good word of mouth but now we will never go back here. Lost its touch. Hate to say it but will never recommend this place again. I'll give that bartender a 0 if I can.

Ashton was the absolute best. Food was amazing. Drinks were great. They were out of coffee liquor for their expresso martini, and Ashton made a drink up for us with actual expresso, and it was better than the expresso martini. She's wonderful, super friendly, and great at her job. Thank you for the best brunch experience.

Rude bartender with a mustache !!! Don't go if you want to get scolded. He was upset for the fact that me and my friend paid separately to sum it up. Music was lame and I'll probably never go again, go to the start lounge they won't treat you like shit.

forced us to close our tab early when we weren't even very drunk, felt racially motivated as the bartender avoided eye contact with us most of the night, overcharged our tip (deffo going to be disputing with my bank), pretty unprofessional place: sign said open at 4 but they definitely didn't open till way later. music sucks. mediocre atmosphere. just don't come.

What an interesting spot I was in town for restaurant week and had a bit of time before our reservation so we dropped in here for a drink that became two drinks with an app. We really said. It's very spacious inside and they also have outdoor seating so that's a big plus. We were fans of the bun. An order came with three pieces which was perfect for us. We had no business eating anything since we were about to have a 3 course dinner, but we decided to get a second round so we figured it made sense. The service was good. We were looked after. As I sat there staring up, a little cross faded, it occurred to me how much of an opportunity they're missing by not decorating the wooden ceiling. Nail some animal heads up there. Or have them hanging. It's a saloon after all. Yeehaw

Loved the drinks here and the interior. This place is super cute, although was not very lively around the time we came in on a Saturday early afternoon. The service was very nice and helpful in choosing what to order. I had a shot of espresso here and wow was it smooth and delicious. I ordered two beverages and love them but I forgot the names. One was like tea party or something along those lines and the other I believe was girl with pearl or something similar.

The Army Navy was very refreshing Gin drink. Delicious cocktail menu with great vibes in this beautiful setting. Take the window seat if you want to hear the live music outside during the afternoon at night there is a band inside.

Would give zero stars if I could. I got roofied here last week, presumably by the bartenders because no one was near my drink and it wasn't out of my sight all night.

This place had the vibe and the crowd going but something that just threw me off was the bartenders. So rude! When it was my turn to order he ignores me. Comes back 5-7 minutes later just to deny me the drink of choice because they don't serve it. Fine no big deal let me get another drink. I asked for 2 margaritas and he makes me one. When I asked him for the other he gave me a loudest " ughhhh I literally asked you ". Then proceeds to poorly make me another margarita. Ruined the mood for me and my gf. This was my first and last visit to the saloon. If I were you I'd suggest looking for another bar. Poor quality service and my margarita tasted terribly.

This is our favorite place to grab a quick drink. We always sit in "our spot" under the neon sign in the back to people watch. The drinks are reasonably priced and the staff are friendly. The interior is very relaxed. If you are looking for a quiet place to chill and grab a drink this is the spot. I haven't looked at the menu in while, but I remember what vegan items we did have were all good and we enjoyed them a lot.
