One star for the beer menu, one star for the decor. Service started off well with the bartender helping us choose a beer. Then we never saw him again. Bartender vanished another appeared, she never checked on us. So we sat for 20-30 minutes without anyone asking us if we wanted another beer (which we did!). Just decided to cash out, said “thanks” but no response. Just sort of tossed the check at us. Unfortunately, we won’t be back. Tons of other good energy places on Ventura.
The boozy shakes here are even bigger, better, and boozier than I expected. The staff is friendly. And the vibes are great. Will be back!
Mac Daddy burger. Beef and pork belly were super tender and the Mac stayed on the burger. Also had peanut butter cup shake ???
Hidden gem! In a street full of bars, I think this is my favorite. We went on a Saturday night and they had a 2-for-1 drink happy hour that STARTS at 9pm; I've never seen happy hour prices be for peak hours, so that's awesome!Drinks were unique, tasty, and reasonably priced, with a classy but casual ambiance.
Personally the whole vax card thing to me is such an infringement on privacy, I feel bad for these young food service industry frontlines who now have to add novice interrogation specialist to their resume.. So basically we sat outside because even if I am vaccinated.. I shouldn't have to show my papers.. you don't ask me if I have violent criminal record or if I'm a legal citizen.. shame on the fat pockets running California..Wears your mask and papers.. moving on . The food was good and the ginger beer was great! Our server accidentally gave us someone else's appetizer.. this probably wouldn't have happened if we weren't all wearing masks and could clearly hear and see each other's mouths. I think it was spinach artichoke dip and it was delicious!! We were happy to pay for the miscommunication. I could tell the server was nervous about having to " confront" us on the mistake..? No worries.. my only suggestion would be to not fret on plain clothed white people.. we have money.. we just don't look like it.? I would suggest servers interact with patrons a little bit more. Wasn't sure if they hated their jobs.. or just us.. Dinner was great though, Thank you!
I had fun here but the glasses were dirty. Also very small table an no one would pick up you used glasses or dishes. Cute environment for a bar tho.
We had the chicken sliders and deviled eggs, they were both really delicious!! We also ordered two drinks which we didn’t end up finishing (which sucked cause they were $7-$11 each) because they were just way too strong and didn’t have much other flavor. I’ll probably stick to a Diet Coke next time or try a shakeIf I had to rate the service I’d give a 3/5 stars. The general vibe was not super friendly and there were multiple times we had to get up or go out of our way to ask for things (they served us our food with no plates, and we were eating on our napkins since nobody was around). The staff also had a table that seemed to be just for them, and our server was eating a full meal with her back turned to us- kinda made me feel like I would be interrupting when I did need something.Overall it was good, but I just have different expectations for next time!
The spare rib meat on the nachos was not seasoned at all despite its tenderness, which was too bad because they have the potential for greatness. The nachos also need some guac & pico for the same reason. The skinny margarita was great though - just sweet enough without being cloying, but not too tart either.
What's not to love? Burgers and a full bar with a friendly, "happy to have you here" staff. It's a bar on the Boulevard, but it has a very neighborhood bar feel. No pretense, no fussiness. Simple, straightforward bar menu done very well in a relaxed, service oriented atmosphere. Perfect for a night out with friends.I had the mushroom Swiss burger. It was cooked perfectly and bun was a thing of delight.
Looking for a place to have food & drinks. They advertised "Open till Midnight", so we decided to go there specifically since it was 9pm. Good atmosphere & selection of beers. Food was good, but they messed up or order & we weren't severed our whole order until after three other couples ordered & served, . Also we had planned to hang out & have more drinks, but they had last call at 9:45. Not too happy about getting rushed out the door.
