The place has changed staff constantly for the past few months and the great vibe is pretty diminished. The bartenders are not anything like as competent ( you've got to work to screw up a negroni...it's one part each ot gin, vermouth and campari, not two parts gin cause it's cheaper to make that way) Hopefully management will get it sorted out...time will tell. read more

My favorite place around for both great food and great company. You can't go wrong with any of the specialty drinks and occasionally live music that isn't to loud so you can still enjoy a conversation with the people you're with. read more

This may be the single-handed most charming place I've ever purchase a drink! Kitsch for days...,delightful!

Loved it. Great live music. No bartenders here, just mixologists. Tequila Paloma, and gin sours with tasty

I love this place . The atmosphere. The drinks .. the food .. everything . It's such a good vibe there .

When Will worked here, the drinks were amazing. We went back recently, and the recipes have definitely changed so much that the drinks are absolutely terrible and honestly just made very incorrectly. I don't think that the bartenders know how to make these crafty drinks. This place is consistently closed for "remodeling" but this seems to happen every time they are unable to staff the place. The locals are well aware that the owner is a difficult person to work with hence the tremendous amount of turnover that this place experiences. additionally, this place has been renamed quite a few times in this lifetime. It has tried so many different vibes and aesthetics that quite frankly I don't even know that they know who they are anymore and again this has happened under the same ownership. I really hope that 1901 is able to find a good bartender that's passionate about the wonderful cocktails that can be curated here. Also, if anybody knows where Will went can you let us know? praying for you 1901! read more

Great service, delicious cuisine and surprisingly large portions. Charming location especially after dark since the ambiance is wonderful! Highly recommend! read more

This review is Long over due . The food here in restaurant and bar is absolutely amazing . Great quality food !!! We got our food catered here for my wedding ( food was delicious and customer service from Steve and staff was memorable ). I was really happy that this place was part of my special day . read more

Great basement bar, ambience and food! Very cool old school architectural area/location. The 1901 sit down restaurant is upstairs.

I am hoping to bump this up to a 5-star soon. The food was delicious, ambiance was great. Bread pudding was like no other. The service was not great. It took forever to get our drinks. Would have ordered a third round (we had a DD) but it took 2 hours to get the first two. The server was not well-versed in the food and drink menu and kept having to flag her down. Entrees took easily 45 minutes to an hour to get. Will try this place again and hopefully will get better service that matches the amazing food. read more

Great vibes and great service along with awesome tasting drinks. So glad we found this speakeasy. It's a great place to have a drink in a nice and dark environment. We hope to try the food soon. read more

The cellar bar has a Very cool vibe. Good drinks and tasty food. Friendly staff as well.

Very good food and service. The atmosphere is extremely romantic. Live jazz tops it off nicely.

I love 1901 is one of my favorite places to grab a drink, the vibe is really cool and they have really good craft cocktails, I love Expresso Martinis and my mom is obsessed with the Tequila Old Fashion (they smoke it in the moment, she said no one makes it better) the restaurant on top of the bar is amazing too. read more

This place is okay drinks are kinda weak. Not a place I would frequent, prices are too high for what you get, the ambiance is cool love the music.

Very cute historical spot with yummy cocktails! The bartenders were friendly and even cracked a couple jokes! Will be back.

So fun! Loud but a good crowd. I would recommend to anyone who likes live music and good strong drinks.

Dropped in after the Summer Wine Fest. Our server, Vicky, took great care of us. We enjoyed the food and great service. Great experience!

beautiful place in the middle of the downtown. we had dinner only we didn't had time to check out the downstairs bar we will leave it for our next visit. everything we had was delicious My husband's lasagna was one of the best he ever had anywhere else. chicken piccata was on point portions are big, Tiramisu was delicious read more

Food and service is usually good. The drinks are way weak and crazy expensive. They have some decent live music. The Harlen Spector Trio rocks. read more

We had a fabulous dinner here tonight. Our original waiter dropped the ball a bit but it was all good because a man named Sym took really good care of us. He went over and above to make sure we were happy. It's nice to see an employee with his kind of attention to detail. He is a definite keeper. We will come again... read more

This was my second time trying this restaurant. Saturday night and very crowded so we were sat outside on the patio. It was chilly so we asked for the heaters to be turned on and they did have blankets for use. It was good to see a few wine selections for $8. Most places price by the glass for 2-3 x that much. The beet salad was enough for 2-3 people and absolutely delicious. Chicken Picatta was too lemony and the chicken was overcooked and dry. Halibut was very good and the winner of the evening over the chicken and salmon selections. It was a birthday celebration and they thoughtfully brought a bread pudding free of charge. It had a peculiar smokey taste and was on the dry side. We went down to the speakeasy for some music and left immediately. When a room is small with low ceilings, it should be considered how loud the music could be. It was too loud and not good at all. My second time leaving in a hurry. First time the music was just plain bad. Restaurant 3 1/2 stars Speakeasy 0 read more

Great atmosphere, Great cocktails, and Great team. Live music on the weekends. A real hidden gem in the city of Oxnard. Love all the renovations being made by the new owner. read more

It's a perfect little spot for a date night or just a night out in general. We had an old fashion and a whiskey sour, the drinks were great and the food was too. The husband and I had a tomahawk steak and it was more than enough for the both of us. We will definitely be going back to try different things from the menu. The guys behind the bar are always friendly and have great attitude. read more

Wonderful hidden gem in Oxnard. Lovely ambiance, skilled customer service, and excellent food and drinks. We came for our wedding anniversary dinner and cannot wait to return to try more. The mussels were rich yet light and flavorful. The risotto was creamy and cheesy with great umami flavor through every bite. The signature cocktails are not to be missed. read more

Delicious drinks and great ambiance! Went for the first time tonight with some friends and we tried several of their house cocktails which all featured unique flavors and presentations. The starry night was my personal favorite, but there is definitely something for everybody. I'd also like to add that they are handicap accessible, and they make it very easy to access the speakeasy downstairs via elevator. I reached out prior to arrival on their Instagram to make sure they could accommodate a wheelchair, and they responded very quickly and were very kind. I highly recommend this place if you want to enjoy some live music and good vibes. read more

Another speak easy we found called 1901 Named after the date house was built A newer spot in the heritage square in Oxnard under La Dolce Vita They even hit the cover of Ventana magazine and were so proud to be a one of a kind in the area Jared was a great bartender and shared with us their vision and the revamping of the bar- which by the way the bar is a very cool copper under resin Live music by a duo that was great and lots of locals crowded the scene - drinking, dancing and lively conversations read more
