The patio is large with tables nicely spaced. The patio has lots of TVs if you want to watch a game. It faces the parking lot so no significant car noise or exhaust smells. Lovely place to have a dinner on a summer evening. Our server was at our table right away to get our drink order. They have 4 IPA beers on tap - NICE! She brought me 2 to taste and I picked the one I liked better. 16oz glass for $10 My wife and I split the Reuben on rye with curly fries ($16).

They took them back and came back with them crispy and hot - just the way we love them. The Reuben was delish - as good as any I have had at the local deli restaurants. Very good food, excellent service, lovely ambiance and fair prices. Great spot for an informal dinner.

I ordered the mini corn dogs, nachos with chicken, and cheese sticks. A buddy ordered wings. Everything was as expected, wings had a nice spice to them, and although the nachos have a chili cheese which was unexpected, they were still ok. The waitress changed a TV to show the Padres game my buddy wanted to watch, and pretty much all waitstaff was really attentive cross covering tables. Overall it's a good place to go catch the game with buddies. That's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.

This is always a happening place when sporting events are on the TV. I've been here many times but…read morethis time I ordered a couple of appetizers to go. Taquitos This was an order of 4 beef taquitos, topped with cheese, tomatoes and lettuce with sides of guacamole, sour cream and salsa. These tasted great and were fried perfectly crisp. I really enjoyed these! Asada Nachos They looked amazing when we opened them! First bite...weird.. they have chili on them... it wasn't bad, just different.. every bite had that reminiscent beef chili flavor. The toppings were fresh, sour cream, guacamole and salsa did a great job adding flavor. This chips were a bit on the thin side, struggling to hold any amount of toppings. I probably wouldn't get these again. A great place with lots of TVs and usually have pretty good food. You won't miss anything on TV, they have plenty! Just steer clear from the nachos.

Quintessential California cool…read more.. Coworkers and I stopped in while in town for business... ST was such a cool lil local watering hole. The place is a stones throw from the beach so it gets that nice Pacific Ocean breeze coming through the restaurant which keeps the large doors open... It reminded me a lot of Key West and the bars/restaurants you find on Duvall St. They were slammed for a Monday, the friendly staff fit us into the bar area. ST living up to its name has a great local tap beer selection and nice mixed menu... If you're looking for apps, salads, sandwiches, burgers, seafood, or lighter fare, ST has it all. This is one of those places that you could just sit at all night long, so keep that in mind when visiting - Great Cali beach town pub.

My husband and I stopped by Social Tap for dinner after a day at the beach. We chose patio seating…read moreto enjoy a quieter meal, and we were greeted promptly by Kayden. My husband ordered the $5 beer special and I ordered an $8 glass of Maggio wine. For our meals I ordered a cup of soup, a side salad, and a taco, and my husband ordered one of the hamburgers with fries. When our drinks arrived via another server, the wine pour looked quite light. My husband estimated it was around 4 ounces (I'm so sorry I didn't take a picture). When we politely asked Kayden if it was a normal pour, she insisted it looked "more than usual," stating they do 6-ounce pours, and then said "cheers" to me and quickly walked off. My husband looked at me and suggested I nurse it. The service pacing for our meal was also off. Another server dropped off my soup, side salad, and taco all at the same time, while my husband's burger arrived 5 minutes later. Having everything brought at once forced me to rush through hot soup while my salad grew soggy and my taco got cold. Credit where it's due...the food tasted great. The clam chowder had nice flavor and plenty of clams, the Caesar dressing was excellent (and I am very picky about Caesar dressing), and the taco was very tender, just cold by the time I ate it. After one quick check-in during our meal, Kayden vanished. We eventually had to go inside the restaurant to track her down just to get our check so we could leave, and my husband said she seemed annoyed that we came looking for it. Having worked in the service industry since I was 14 (I am now 66), I understand the business well. For most people, dining out is a luxury these days, and with rising menu prices and suggested tip prompts at 25%, service etiquette matters more than ever. Good food alone isn't enough when the service falls flat. We ended up tipping 15% instead of our usual generous amount. There are plenty of places with great food; these days, the difference is always in the service.

5 Stars My wife and…read moreI went to The Clubhouse Bar and Grill last night, and it was amazing. The atmosphere was awesome with that perfect small-town bar feel that makes you feel comfortable right away. Even though it was our first time there, it felt like a place we had been going to for years. Matt, the owner and bartender, was freaking amazing. He made us feel welcome, took great care of us, and really helped make the night enjoyable. My wife and I had a wonderful time, and we will definitely be going back. Great place, great people, and a great overall experience.

The new owner should be congratulated!

I'd love to return if we're in the area.

I love that there's diff sports games on. They have bating cages and a huge area to pay pool / other games! So much seating outdoors too with more TVs. They host different events often too.

The axe throwing itself is $35 per person but it is worth it if you are looking for a fun activity or destressor (lol). If you opt out from axe throwing they have other options like card/ board games as well. Side note: They don't have food vendors but there's lots of wonderful food options around the area walking distance. In regards to the drinks, every beer/ alcoholic drink they carry is intentional and they rotate based off season. Every time I've came I've had a wonderful and welcoming experience with the help of Ryan, Marshall, and Mariah. Definitely recommend!

Beer Pressure…read more Classic American Pub located in Ventura that features over one hundred beers on tap and classic American comfort foods in a surprisingly family-friendly environment. The Good: * Beyond all the beers on tap, they also have a full bar. * Service was friendly and pretty good overall. * Secret menu for both food and drink. Shhhh...! * Their wings were fantastic! You've really gotta try the Strawbanero (Strawberry-Habanero) sauce, as it was a sweet and savory bite that had all three of us fighting over. * Buffalo Barrels (aka Tater Tots) were worth the $5 upgrade. But, I'm somewhat of a Tater Tot junkie, so take that advice for what it's worth. * Fries were fantastic, as well. * Short Rib Melt was delicious, but very, very rich. It could've used a little relief like some pickles either on it or on the side. The Meh: * They do have their own parking lot, but it is smallish and can fill up fast. There is some street parking available, as well. The Ugly: * They had a lot of beers that were out of commission, including several that I was pretty excited to try. =/ Conclusion: Great spot to get your suds and spuds!
