I've been wanting to try Flat Fish for a while! It did not disappoint. Beers were really good and the food was great! The staff were terrific and the place was airy and clean. read more

Our first time here and we really liked this place! Great set up - you order your food and drink at the counter in a separate room off to the left... they give you your drinks right away and then assign you a table (all the tables have numbers in them) then our food was brought out pretty fast! Beers were great! The room is huge, barrels all around, great band set up and surprisingly the sound was great! We'll be back! read more

What a great concept. Having two of both world under one roof. My husband doesn't like wine so this was the perfect place for us. He had beer and I had wine. We also enjoyed a pizza and wings which were delicious for a quick snack. They also have bands that come as well. I didn't catch the woman's name that was there, but she was helpful and informative with helping us choose the perfect wine! read more

Flatbread dough was unique and delicious; soft and slightly chewy, in a good way! Beer...two thumbs up! I sampled the brown, the stout, and an IPA. All were excellent. I'm not a brandy drinker, but had a couple sips of their house made and really liked it! The husband and wife owners were very helpful and nice to talk to. They have a cozy front area and large rear area with lots of seating, a big screen, and a stage where I'm told they have live bands. Definitely will be going again! read more

We came here for the first time because of the Sweet Deals beer booklet. We would have never stumbled upon it because it's in an industrial area that we don't ever drive near. The menu has beer, wine, appetizers, and pizza. Our beer booklet covered one beer each and an appetizer. We decided to have the blonde beer, the hazy hefenweizen, fried caulifower, and the artisan bread. The blonde beer and hazy hefenweizen were both great. The fried cauliflower was mediocre. It seemed a little undercooked and could have been more crispy. We also would have liked more sauce on it. The artisan bread had fresh, fluffy pizza dough which we really liked. This one was suppsoed to be truffle flavored and we did not taste any truffle. There was mushrooms and balsamic glaze on it and the flavor was overall bland. If I come back, I would be open to trying the pizza, but would not get the items that we had. The inside of Flat Fish is really big. The cellar area is big enough to have a large party or group. They have a stage in the cellar area where they have events with live music. The owner who helped us was friendly and nice. Flat Fish has a laid back vibe. We loved the beer and would return to grab one of their beers. read more

If I could give this place 10, 20 or even 100 stars I would. Omg my first experience was off the charts. The band they had playing Friday August 23, was amazing. The drinks and food a kiss from the heavens. Also I love the barrels they put side to decorate the place is a nice touch. Thank you for the wonderful experience love the vide and the wonderful service and recommendations on beer and wine lovely staff. read more

This has been the summer of searching for casual live music venues in Ventura County. We checked out Flat Fish Brewing / Cantara Cellars on Saturday evening to have a date night. We were greeted with a clean, spacious venue set up inside the storage warehouse for Cantara's wine vats. Their place is in an industrial park in West Camarillo. GPS is helpful to find them. Protected from the weather, this a good choice when it's too hot, cold, or windy to be outside in the evening. It got a little bit stuffy even with two huge roll up doors open, but we could go outside for a while to get fresher air if needed. The tasting room / gift shop area is off to one side of the large overall space. Dear Hubby went in to choose a beer, while I chose a table for us to sit for the music portion of the evening. He came back with a lighter, but very hoppy craft beer. I could catch a whiff of the hops from time to time. Very pronounced. They had a few options for the designated driver - Lori's Lemonade, or NA beer (found out about that option later). Ice cold bottled waters were a bargain at $1. We didn't sample their food items as we'd just come from dinner. As we plan to return, will be checking out their flatbread offerings. Would love to try the pizza, but, sigh, non-dairy diet happening for me. When I went in to the tasting room I was able to view the menu as a teaser to a future visit. Acoustics for the visiting band were good, and there was plenty of room for dancing up near the "stage" area. We appreciated that the band played a variety of rhythms, so we got to trot out our rusty rhumba, swing, West Coast Swing, and hustle moves. Great to see on their website that they will have more live music events on into the autumn. We'll definitely be heading back for another night out before long. read more

I like to leave a nice tip and would have loved to leave glowing review for this local small business-- but really impossible. I have NEVER not left a tip for a server, but Chris, the owner, was shockingly rude while behind the bar pouring drinks - and many of us felt the same that night. Looking at Yelp, it's clearly a pattern. With just a little kindness this could've been a place worth recommending, but instead it's a textbook case for customer service 101. Will not be back or recommend this business. And just so bad I had to leave a post - really says something. read more

Beer was delicious and the tri tip tots were also. Only suggestion would be adding pickled jalapeños to them.

The lady in the front corner was mean. she call me and 8 other Mexican friends that all of us brown boy looked the same. Food was over price. 25 dollars for a tri-tip sandwich not thanks. read more

Great beers, great food, and great owners! Very warm atmosphere, total hidden gem. Super dog friendly. Love this place.

Love this place!!! They have come so far and just continue to grow! Friendly service every time I am here! Food is soooo good, their beer and wine is off the charts! Definitely recommend this place! read more

Camarillo is short on places for GenX to spend time without the noise of the world. This little gem answers that unmet need. The brewery room is perfect to sit and enjoy a quiet night out. The owners, husband and wife team, are the two kindest people you'll meet. There is an event space, but kids and their parents generally stay inside there. Of course, private events are welcomed and are lots of fun. There is also card and board games for anyone to play. The beers are lovely. I like the darker beers. The stout (Devil Trout) currently on tap, is delicious. We have the Access Ventura card and got a B1G1. They offer growlers, if you find something you love. Come on out, friends of a John Hughes movie age! It's a lot of fun here. See website for hours and directions. read more

Great beer and food. It is dog-friendly and we really enjoyed sitting on the patio with our pup. Staff was extremely polite and friendly. We met the owners and they were cool to talk to and I enjoyed learning their backstory. Overall, a really fun night! Will definitely be coming back read more

Great beer. Great ambiance and awesome crowd loved their porter and their IPA. Gotta try while you're in town

I had never been here until we went there tonight for a group meeting. What a nice surprise! The staff were pleasant and friendly. I had the special, which I would describe as a perfect diner hamburger. My husband had the pizza which was cooked well-done, as he likes. He enjoyed it very much. The drinks were good, too. We will definitely go back. read more

First time here. Had a flight of 5 ales. My favorites were the Golden Ale, Amber Ale, and American Brown Ale. Didn't try the Porter or the 3 IPA's. There is also a winery on the premises. The tasting room is sparkling clean, and the customer service is outstanding. If you're in Camarillo and have time, definitely pay them a visit. read more

The owner requires a real attitude adjustment. She walks around with a constant sour look, is judgmental, non accommodating and rude. The food is also incredibly overpriced for what you receive. There are plenty of other venues that play the same music as this place and much more pleasant to be at. For the success of her business, I hope she changes and becomes more customer service oriented. read more

Decent beer, the hazy IPA that night was a winning surprise. This was our first visit, would go back if nearby, but not sure I'd go out of my way. The space itself is nice, open and airy. They have a huge space by their brewing operation you can rent for events which would be cool I think. They also have wine tasting in the same space, but we didn't try any that night. read more

Definitely not kid friendly didn't feel welcomed so just turned around and left. Just got nasty stares as I walked in with my kids

We've been searching for a place like this for quite a long time. Husband loves beer. I love wine. This place has plenty of each. It's a brewery and Cantarra cellars combined. I had a small flight of 3 tastes of wine. The red blend was wonderful. Husband tried 2 very dark beers. He said they were very good. The food was fun and yummy. Great flat bread pizzas. My gluten free crust tasted amazing which is usually not the case with GF. Also recommend the pulled pork tater tots. We enjoyed the live music although the 2 comedians fell flat and some parties lost their steam and left during that portion of the evening. They should have stayed because band returned and provided good tunes for dancing. My husband even danced!!! read more

If you like to frequent breweries because you can bring your kids with you and enjoy a family day out, this place is not for you. This is a fairly small brewery, with no outdoor seating, which should have been my first clue. They have a small selection of beers, a list of wines, and a large kitchen menu. We walked in and were initially greeted with a smile, until they realized we had kids with us. We were told they were going to set up tables for us in the back room, "so we wouldn't be a distraction." Mind you, there was only 1 other couple in the brewery at the time and our kids weren't being overly loud, but I just want to have a beer and enjoy our day out trying new places. So, we agreed to sit in the other room. The beer wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything exciting either. We felt like we were shunned to the other room with no interaction. It was awkwardly quiet and I honestly couldn't wait to leave. It was very clear that families were not welcome here and we were not having a good time. We won't be back, which I'm sure the older woman behind the bar is happy about, because she was literally glaring at us as we walked out. Some may judge us for bringing our kids, but we've been to plenty of breweries that welcome families and make it fun for everyone. I have never left a business feeling so unwelcome. read more

I can't wait till the tap room opens! Until then, Flat Fish is conjoined with Cantera Cellars. When entering, it doesn't feel like a brewery but be patient because the beer is pretty darn good! Also resist the temptation for the wines because remember, you came for the beer. The owners are very warm and welcoming, explaining the beers through and through. There is also an assortment of merch to purchase and unique wine themed gifts to buy. I got the sampler to try the beers as I'm not the biggest beer drinker but found them all to be very pleasant (even the IPAs). Check out Flat Fish Brewery before everyone else finds out about it! read more

I have to agree with all the other reviewers. The owner definitely has a attitude problem. We lasted five minutes before walking out.

Ok..:let me start by saying this was THE best craft brewery spot I've been to in 2021. Great people, great vibe and amazing beers! If you are a beer person you will be welcomed with a delicious sip of integrity and pride. This is a true gem...delicious IPAs, flavorful stouts and tasty reds. A great spot with exceptional beer. read more

Loved this place as it's great for the beer loving men and wine loving wives! Great food also!

We really enjoyed our afternoon here! They provided IPA samplers and such warm and welcoming customer service. They were COVID prepared with sanitizer when we walked in and all employees were wearing masks. We had our own socially spaced table on the covered patio. They had a nice cheese plate and giant hot dogs in case you are looking for food. Looking forward to going back! read more

***wondeful tasting room a "go to" in Camarillo. Live music and a wedding venue! Don't hesitate...visit them today!***

There are plenty other breweries that are welcoming to all. This one? Not so much. Owners need to take a class in customer service. They're not pleasant to speak with on the phone or by email. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon with some friends for a birthday. My boyfriend got the Long Drift and I ordered the Go Fish and both beers were very good. We also ordered the buffalo wings with ranch, which were okay. The service here is great and everyone working was extremely friendly. The only thing I wish they had was maybe some music (which we learned they do live music on some nights!), and maybe some games for entertainment. The other thing is the location, since it's in sort of a secluded area, but I would definitely come back for the beer! read more

Beer was ok, nothing special. They serve wine too, again very mediocre. The space is pretty cool, seems like it could be a fun spot to hang out with a big group. So why the low rating? The staff was beyond awkward. It felt like we were intruding even though we were literally the only customers in the place. Some other folks showed up who apparently ordered food. We watched as the server, who never said a single word, try to give it to multiple tables (including us) until she found who actually ordered it. Not cool. Won't be back. read more

One of my friends in Camarillo invited me for a late afternoon lunch here and suggested the "Go Fish" beer. The drinks and food were great... it felt like Cheers where everybody knows your name. Super nice owners! read more

Atmosphere is almost cafeteria-like - sterile, noisy, no character. Two beers and their $20 salami/cheese plate was over $36. Beer was mediocre at best. I don't think we will go back - pricey without a good vibe nor excellent beer. If you have little kids, you might like the game and play area - not our style though. read more

We attended a reception at Flat Fish Brewery. The owners are rude and extremely unfriendly. Chris Brown stands with her hands on her hips watching and is very rude and unaccommodating. We arrived early to help finish setting up. Some of the small flowers & greenery that were delivered for the tables were no where in sight. Chris had decided that it wouldn't look good and there wouldn't be room for them. We found the buckets of flowers and greenery stashed behind the refrigeration storage. We added them to the tables and they worked out perfectly. The reception was scheduled until 9:00pm. At 7:30pm she tells us it's Last Call and then her husband and an employee start clearing off the reception tables! Their prices are high, but what is worse is how extremely unfriendly and unwelcoming they are. Horrible place for a reception of any kind. read more
