The Hub has that old-school, no-frills, local hangout vibe that feels like it's been there through a thousand Ojai sunsets. It's cozy, unpretentious, and genuinely fun. The drinks were solid, the atmosphere was relaxed, and it felt like one of those places where you can actually exhale and just be. The service was perfect! Rob was the absolute best! If you're expecting craft cocktail theatrics and curated Instagram lighting, this isn't your spot. If you want a cute, classic dive with personality and good energy, it absolutely is. Support local. Bring cash. Enjoy the vibe.

And manager Heidi, despite being a new mom (congrats!), is the backbone of a now stable operation.

Well, not so much...but there is a nice variety on the menu, and the food turned out is better than OK. All in all, Ojai Pub is an uplifting experience...nice bartenders, decent food, good entertainment....worth a trip in to check it out and have a good time!

We stayed at Hotel El Roblar for our anniversary last month, and ended up at Snug Bar in the lobby…read moreafter dinner. It really was snug, nestled into a corner of the lobby, with one bartender, a few stools, and a cozy, intimate vibe. The bar was as beautiful as the rest of the hotel, richly designed with polished wood, attractive furnishings, and warm lighting. The whole lobby was loud and happening on the Saturday night of our stay, but when we walked into Snug Bar after dinner on the Sunday, we were the only customers. The bartender was a friendly woman, named Lauren I think, who we learned was a cousin of the nice server who waited on us at dinner. She made our cocktails and we took them into the lobby, where we claimed two handsome chairs on either side of a handsome table. The drinks were excellent. I got the Summer Blanco Negroni, a clear negroni with La Tierre de Acre Cenizo mezcal, Luxardo bitter bianco, and Spanish blanco vermouth. My husband had the Wild Condor Old Fashioned with Wild Turkey bourbon, Amaro Picon, vanilla, and house bitters. The Snug Bar experience was so snug that I fell fully asleep in one of those handsome chairs. The bar was good enough that I might have wanted another round, but I guess that negroni was all the nightcap I needed. I very much enjoyed this bar and Hotel El Roblar in general. I hope to come back and have another drink in this little corner.

I wanted to actually explain why I'm giving it 1 star... Not for the poor service (they only had one waitress, so I can't fault them for that, or her slightly arrogant attitude (probably from being the only person there serving)... Not for the mediocre food... it's cars to mess up a burger, they were close (see photo). If you are in a town that was founded by artists in the 1960s one would assume you would take pride in how you plate, and present your food, especially for what you charge for your burger! But that's the kitchen... The French fries were delicious... the Greek salad (that they don't offer lettuce) isn't a salad... but it is a favorite in Israel, the Arabic culture, etc... a Greek Salad it is not... So why did I give them 1 star? The unkept restroom was so dirty, it makes other public restrooms look cleaner! The sides of the toilet that typically is just dusty had urine and poop (stains?) there! There was an unknown dust/residue on a cabinet and floor... If this is how you keep your unisex bathroom... how bad is it everywhere else? That alone did it for me... if I had seen this from the jump, I would have bolted!

The wrap was delicious, but the chicken was pretty dry. I couldn't finish the second half of my wrap because of that. The matcha was honestly more milk than matcha. I actually had to ask for a side of vanilla syrup to pour in, but ended up making it sweet than I'd like. Service was great! I loved the outdoor seating because the big tree in the middle also provided some shade. Overall, it's a nice place to have brunch! I'd probably look at different menu items though.

Pickled carrots and cauliflower taste like white vinegar, adding some aromatics could help. I've gotten the bodega sando. 1st was great 2nd time was lacking. The server was confused on how the eggs were prepared and kept asking me how I wanted them after telling her I'd take it as is from the menu. 2nd time I was unimpressed, released it was just a potato hamburger bun with scrambled egg and the sauce that comes on it 2nd time just tasted like salt. Egg to bun ratio was off. It was too much bun not enough egg. Their drip coffee is not my favorite. It has a strong sour berry taste. First visit service was great and we got refills on our coffee promptly. 2nd time drip coffees took longer than our food to come out and no refills were offered. Servers were standing around but we were unable to get their attention despite sitting at the bar. Atmosphere is nice. Will most likely try a few more things on the menu.

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.
