I said no worries, I will move if people are coming!I had one beer within one hour nobody showed up, the entire time in the bar were literally three customers sitting! and at the end when I ask her for the check, she asked me was it only one beer? I said you are the server not me! I think the lady was high on something! Super rude! We tried to support the locals, but I guess doesn't worth it, I texted my friends to meet at GoodCo bar! close by! The service was like a day and night! Way much better! Never come back!

Mixed feelings about this place . There are things I liked ( ambience , prices ,…read morebartender/mixologist currently working's personal flair ) when I visited , however I didn't have the best experience overall . Two stars ( instead of one ) for the bartender trying to make it right by offering me a free shot with my happy hour beverage but honestly I would have rather just been treated better (with a little more consideration) . In the states at "fancy" restaurants and or really popular places ( in general places that take reservations) , a single person would never really be allowed to sit at a larger table or booth, unless extreme circumstances warranted it like they were disabled / had a wheelchair ( which I am ) due to the fact that most likely a larger party who would obviously want to sit together, would need that limited space and it would be awkward to have someone move tables when they were already enjoying their drink or meal to accommodate a larger party. This rule, however doesn't really exist at places like dive bars . In general as most dive bars tended to be sparsely populated ...sitting wherever is not really an issues . In general first come first serve and every man for himself ...is usually the vibe . I arrived here, basically at opening and was there for about 40 minutes when a party of four arrived . All four of them kept looking at my table where I was sitting (the only booth in the small bar) as they were initially forced to sit together at one of the single tables with four chairs . Next thing, I know the bartender comes over to me and apologizes, saying he has to bug me and request that I move to a smaller table because they need the one booth . As I gathered my belongings to move, members of the larger party avoided making eye contact as they some thanked me for moving . Obvious that they were feeling guilt and yet it didn't stop them from claiming the booth I was using as a disabled person . Quite an unpleasant experience . To be fair I get the need to accommodate a larger party but honestly they could've literally just pushed three tables together and arranged the chairs to be three on each side. It would've been a little bit more work, but I think it would have been the fairest solution ..and would have been my solution as the employee working there or if I was a member of the party . It's the entitlement that really bothered me . I think I just come from a place where in certain instances people wouldn't even dare ask .

I did not look it over but after going to my vehicle looked at my messages and realized my credit card was charged 77. For those 4 items. I had appetizer pork burnt ends(mostly fat) with small cup of slaw.(No flavor)my friend had appetizer fish tacos.. with terrible tortilla chips as her side. And 2 Hong Kong ice teas(didn't taste right but drank them). I couldn't believe in this unassuming bar the cost for those 4 items could be so high. After calling the restuarant the bartender explained drinks 16each and appies 16. And 17 respectively. I will not bee going back to. Bbrickhouse. I'd think they believe their establishment should have higher prices than the new places on the water! It's simply stupid. We are talking aaan empty bar and empty restuaant through out the lunch time. And I guess others have already discovered the outrageoys pricing in the old stale bar. You better off anywhere but here. For as long as we sat there the Service was ok.

It features a dark, cozy, and intimate atmosphere, with food and drinks available, and a cover charge per set, though it used to be pay-what-you-can.

It was near the end of the first set when we showed up and there was no line up at all and were seated immediately. It was already packed by the time we were there.

We got there quite early into service so not a lot of people in the place. The ceiling is low, it's kind of dark, but somehow it works. It feels maybe more intimate, which was right up our alley. We wanted some nibbles, not a full blown meal lest we fall asleep during the performance. Happy hour was still on so we ordered the dill pickle chips and the burger sliders combo. Both were excellent! The chips were spot on definitely dill pickley, nicely cooked and crispy. The sliders were really great as well, not too small like many we've had lately and you could really taste the beef. Our martinis were also great although a little more juice in the "dirty" side of the equation and perhaps an olive without a pit. We also ordered the BLT with mixed greens, which we probably didn't need but Les Mis is almost three hours long. The service was also great, waters topped up regularly and the servers interactive and interesting. We would absolutely come back to Ventura again. Oh and Les Misérables was outstanding!

They seem to have removed the bench seating though. Now it has more of a nightclub feel, with a dance area in front of the bar. There are still some arcade games (including the ones where one throws a football or basketball etc.). Only comment is that the music is definitely at nightclub levels. In other words, too loud to have a conversation. I think I'm getting old. Not sure if I'd be back. Rather find a quieter place to chat. But it's a decent choice if one wants to dance and go deaf.
