We were a group of 10 with 2 kids. We were first greeted by McKale, he showed us to our table. The atmosphere here was super friendly, warm, inviting, comfortable, cozy, and Lively. He asked if we had any questions & He answered them all beautifully! He asked us what we would like so we ordered : 2 potato leeks soup in both bowls , 2 chicken pot pies, Grilled Salmon, Ryan's Ribeye, Fish & Chips, Kids Mac & cheese, 1 French fries, Bangers Mash, Reuben Sandwich, Shepards pie. Everything was so terrifically delicious, mouthwatering, super savory, super authentic! McKale was on it, constantly asking us if we needed anything, constantly refilling our drinks for 10 people, all by himself! He is amazing!! McKale is super polite, very genuine, kind, very thoughtful, caring, very down to earth! McKale has this very positive upbeat energy about himself that really radiates! He is your Rarest of all Diamonds! His shine will never fade! Please treasure him greatly!! I would Love to especially Thank McKale for a Fantastic & Terrific & Memorable Visit! I would love to Thank Dargan's for a very Positive & Wonderful visit here! We will definitely be back! I'll tell all my Family & Friends to come visit! Please be kind & courteous to these hard workers!

Came with a group of friends to watch the World Cup game, and we had a great experience. We were…read morewarmly greeted and seated in the bar, where there were plenty of TVs perfectly positioned so everyone at our table had a great view of the game. We ordered a variety of appetizers, including the Buffalo Tater Tots, beer-battered onion rings, Tipperary Chips & Dip, Buffalo tenders, and the pretzel with stout dip. Everything was delicious, but my favorite was definitely the Tipperary Chips & Dip. To drink, I started with the Blackberry Bourbon cocktail. It wasn't overly fruity or sweet, making it a perfect complement to the bourbon. For my second drink, I ordered a classic Old Fashioned, which was made just right. Our server was attentive, friendly, and always made sure we had everything we needed. Between the excellent food, well-made drinks, and great atmosphere for watching the game, we can't wait to come back!

Sad to see this establishment close. Best wings, fries and burgers in Ventura. Great atmosphere.read more

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!

Victoria Pub definitely gives you that warm, chill, traditional pub experience. The atmosphere is…read morerelaxed, welcoming, and exactly what you'd want when you're looking to grab some food and drinks without it feeling too formal. We tried the $18 appetizer deal, which I thought was a pretty good value. The wings, mozzarella sticks, and mini corn dogs were all good, and the turkey sandwich was honestly amazing. My only complaint with the sandwich was that it was a little too salty for my taste. Now, this might sound picky, but I have to mention it -- I ordered a Guinness, and it came in a regular glass instead of an actual Guinness glass. I've never experienced that at a pub before, and as a Guinness drinker, it just felt a little weird. The Guinness itself was good, but come on, Victoria Pub... you need to get those Guinness glasses! Overall, though, this is a really good spot. Great atmosphere, solid food, good drinks, and definitely has that authentic pub feel. I'd come back again -- just hoping for a proper Guinness glass next time!

They have leashes attached to the wall which makes it a much more pleasant/hands-free dining experience with a pup. The area was clean as well so I didn't worry about him eating food off the floor.

Overall, we'll be back to try out more happy hour items!

If one goes to eat at the Boatyard Pub then the Boatyard is a good (not great) place to eat food…read morewise not service wise. But if you go to dance, be advised the Boatyard wants people to come to eat and drink (not to dance). They have a dance floor that is extremely small and carpeted which has servers walking though it every few minutes. For those who come over to buy drinks and dance, they must sit at the bar (no tables). Which is OK, but if there are no seats at the bar (there are perhaps enough seats at the bar for 14 or 15 people) you are out of luck. You stand or leave. And they appear to prefer you leave. In addition, the tables are all the way to the band which allows for no dance floor and the tables and chairs can't be moved even an inch. A couple of the staff and the female manager told me personally that they do not want dancers at their restaurant. They are a restaurant, so everyone who comes there is expected to both eat and drink and preferably "not dance." So, I and my friends who like to dance have found other places to dance. Other places who welcome and enjoy having us. It's a free country, so we exercised our choice to go somewhere else that is fun and friendly. Don't get me wrong, as there were some very friendly staff at the Boatyard Pub who enjoyed having us and we tipped them very well. But the manager and several of her staff are unfriendly especially to dancers and many of their other patrons. So, go.tbere at your own risk. You have been warned warned.

The Topa Topa on Thompson is my personal favorite location. All of them are great, and each one…read morecarries that welcoming, familiar energy, but the downtown spot just feels different. No matter which Topa you walk into, you see familiar faces. There is a real sense of family there, and I would hate to lose that. The Thompson location specifically feels like home. When I lost someone very near and dear to me, Topa became a place where I could breathe again. On the worst days, walking through those doors made things feel just a little lighter. Sometimes it felt like I was holding my breath all day until I got there. There is a steady comfort in that space. Mama mia, that kind of place is rare. I have definitely "invested" ;) my fair share into the pool table and the pinball machine. Trivia nights with the awesome host, the food pop ups, Nicks Smash Burgers and Ramos Tacos are the best. Being introduced to new bands and almost always leaving a live show with a vinyl or CD by the end of their set. It truly is a community. Supporting local artists and seeing the same people show up for each other over and over again is part of what makes it special. And the beer is unreal. I was never much of a beer person, but a few years ago they pulled me in with Moo Bae then the Althlone Ranger, and then the 4 and 20. My current favorite is The Tux. Every time I go in, that is what I get. I loved when they had more dark beers too. Topa Topa opened the door for me into the craft beer world without ever feeling intimidating. Once you find a place where you feel appreciated and respected, where you feel known, you do not want to lose that. A huge part of that for me is seeing my regular beer tenders, Mike, Lea, Marie, and Zion. They are part of what makes walking through those doors feel like coming home. The Thompson location is that kind of place. Really messed up what you did. EDIT- This is nothing against the newer employees of Topa, but has everything to do with corporate. What were you thinking getting rid of 15% of your staff? The people that have helped build the foundation of your brand. The people that build the individual personalities of each taproom. The people that we have gotten to know and they've gotten to know us. Like I said before Topa is a family. I get that the craft beer scene is getting smaller but getting rid of family is so dumb. Your regulars have developed a relationship with these people. It's so disheartening to go now. When we go we aren't greeted by these friendly faces that know us. You'd think you'd focus more on your regulars you know the people that actually spend money here rather than the "next generation". Like I said, this has nothing to do with the new workers. They're nice. But the people we've developed relationships could NEVER be replaced. The lovers of topa topa do not like this. And I've already seen on Reddit people are saying they aren't going back.

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.
