One of my "off the beaten path" favorites - not a bar but a place to sit & sip FAB house bottled reds while interacting with the owners and locals alike! Bring your own lunch or snacks!

Open in the middle of the night when you NEED a pharmacy. The pharmacy staff have been great in dealing with 'vacation emergencies' . All the regular drug store stuff too! Short drive but . . .

Food Scene

Always crowded - best bet - a couple of seats at the oyster bar - look for the two that are often empty on the street side kinda hidden - Trout almandine & Char broiled oysters - safe bet for seafood.

All-around great Mexican food I usually get to go - However as Ventura re-opens their inside dining room offers festive decor and can easily accommodate larger groups. Their Arose con Pollo - is perhaps my favorite dish and their simple salad has an incredible dressing it’s not quite green goddess I think it has Pepitos in it? On a final note all of their bar staff know how to make an excellent blended margarita!!
