    Swoooooooooon. Love staying at Ojai Rancho Inn and this little bar is a big reason why. I mean "little" quite literally--it's tiny in . Never fear though, as you are welcome to hang in their cool back area with a pool, fire pit, hammocks, basically all the vacation-y things. The bartenders are really laid back and friendly--props to the bartender who even went out of his way to make sure the campfire didn't go out as we were hanging out with our drinks. Chief's Peak has a fun list of beer, wine, and soju + shrub cocktails. Really enjoyed one of their funky rosés and a soju cocktail on my last visit. They don't really have food--I think some fancy chocolate bars and potato chips--but we brought some snacks from our room to eat by the fire and they didn't mind a bit. This place is open to for hotel guests as well as the public--we learned the ceramic cups on the wall belong to Ojai locals, which is rad! Aside from wine bars it seems like Ojai gets pretty sleepy at night, so definitely put this on your list for a night cap next time you're in town.

    Hipster vibes all around. It's to be expected and what made me enjoy Chief's Peak even more. From the minimalist aesthetic on the bartenders to the random dog wandering around the bar, this was my favorite part about my Ojai day trip. Most of the drinks are Soju based and wasn't really wowed by any of the ones I tried. Still good nonetheless. Make sure you stop by if you're around the Ojai area and remember that they open at 4pm!

    Jeremy was super chill…read more I visit Oja Valley Brewery with my family and my little fur friend and it was definitely a hot day. Super dog friendly and they have a dog beds under the pool table. Our dog Goro was panting pretty hard and Jeremy offered us that we can try to wash him down in the sink which I was very touched as lot of places are not like this. When we walked in the live band was setting up to leave but very spacious place and they have a great selection of beers and wines. Jeremy said he makes beer and his wife makes wine there. He even had the TV set up for the World Cup game. We ended up sitting inside due to heat but outside was super cute spot to sit. They have firepits and plenty of seating areas. We tried Pixie and J.F.B. and opted in for the large beer. Definitely a pot that we will return if we ever go back to Ojai.

The atmosphere is relaxed, comfortable, and inviting--an ideal spot to unwind with friends or family. Great brews, exceptional service, and a laid-back vibe make Ojai Valley Brewery a must-visit. We'll definitely be back!

    After having lunch at the Ojai Pizza Company earlier this year, something occurred to me as I sat…read morethere and looked around at all of the jerseys hanging on their walls. I saw some of the G.O.A.T's of the NBA, the NFL, the NHL, and the MLB which were all proudly on display. Hey, Maybe you've heard of 'em... Jordan, Jabbar, Montana, Gretzky, Gehrig Yeah, we all know these Greats and what their individual contributions were to their respective sport/league. Well, after eating the pizza and salad at O.P.C, I can truly say that these jerseys represented more than the players who wore them, but they had a direct correlation to the food that's served here. The overall Pizza is an unstoppable slam dunk just like Michael Jordan would do as he soared through the air with his tongue out. Yeah, The pizza we ordered had the perfect amount of sauce to cheese to toppings ratio and it was the "hook" that kept me wanting more, just like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's Skyhook move that was his secret weapon to scoring big. The secret weapon on our pizza.... The Pineapple!!! Now let's talk about the Greek Salad! Just like Joe Montana was put into the Hall of Fame, the Ojai Pizza Co.'s Greek Salad should be added to the list! Yeah, this Greek Salad was the 'Gretzky' of all Greek Salads. It too should have the same nickname... The Great One! (Because Damn was it a Great One!) Yes, every single bite which had the perfect combination of toppings, and a dressing that sealed the deal; this Greek Salad was the "Iron Horse" side dish that looked as good as Lou Gehrig did in those Yankee Pinstripes and it definitely was a hit out of the park home run that complimented our pie. Located right on Ojai Ave. in the center of town, this little pizza shop knows exactly what they are doing. They are shooting for that W that can win Championships all while securing a W both in our hearts and in our stomachs for all of the love that they are putting into their food. So if you find yourself visiting the quaint little town of Ojai and are in need of a quick, easy, and tasty meal, the Ojai Pizza Co. is definitely the G.O.A.T in the area when it comes to hand-tossed pizzas!

It was a bit warm to sit outside (80°F) and the wait for outdoor was 30 min so we opt to sit inside. We still had a nice view of the golf course and the rolling hills behind the golf course. By the bar area is a huge bar bench with a huge open window. We didn't notice that spot otherwise I would have suggested it. (Next time!) The lunch prices were really great. Our total bill with tip was $50. I got the buffalo chicken sandwich that was delicious, juicy but also really messy. And my friend got the Bistro Burger. We spit out sandwich/burger in half with one another to try both. Although I liked my Buffalo chicken, I think I preferred the burger. We also both upgraded to truffle fries.

Upon arrival, the staff seemed a bit frazzled. The menu changed a few times, which made things a little confusing, but the two women helping us were very kind and did their best, they just didn't seem fully prepared for a group our size. We kept our orders simple, and surprisingly, the food came out extremely fast... before the coffee even arrived. Overall though, the food was good. I had the avocado toast, which was really tasty, and everyone in the group seemed to enjoy what they ordered. The real standout here is the setting, the golf course and surrounding grounds are absolutely beautiful and make for a really nice atmosphere. Overall, a solid spot for smaller groups or a casual outing, but larger parties might be a bit of a challenge for them.

The dessert seems to be made with soft serve using real vanilla bean as I noticed the speckles in the ice cream. The soft serve was creamy and not too sweet and the matcha topped on it was delicious. The matcha used seemed to be of good quality and didn't taste bitter nor dry. However, this was pretty overpriced for $15 for a small cup of soft serve with some matcha poured on top. I'm wondering if it's pricey because of the vanilla bean used in the soft serve. Regardless, I did enjoy this dessert and it's a good option for a dessert stop after a meal. They also have food here and I would come back to try the food. They have limited indoor seating and tables, but seem to have a decent amount of them outside.

If you enjoy matcha, this isn't the place to try it in an affogato. If you don't enjoy matcha but want to larp as though you do, enjoy. Service: 3/5 Basic, standard service. Nothing to note. Atmosphere: 3/5 The patio area is cute, just really HOT tables during the summer. The line to order was a bit overstimulating and the tables are a bit too close to each other than I'd like. I'd recommend this place to someone who doesn't like the taste of matcha but wants to pretend they do. Final rating: 2.67/5 (rounding up to 3 on Yelp)
