My friend and I decided to meet here for happy hour, and it ended up being a great choice. I'd been here before, but only in the morning for matcha, so this was my first time experiencing their happy hour. The happy hour menu has a great selection of both food and drinks at really reasonable prices. We ordered the chicken tacos, the spinach and artichoke dip, and a drink, and everything was delicious. The tacos were flavorful, the dip was creamy and perfect for sharing, and the drink hit the spot. Service is pretty straightforward you place your order at the counter, and someone brings everything to your table. There's not a lot of interaction with the staff, but everything was smooth and efficient. One of my favorite parts was the atmosphere. The happy hour crowd was a nice mix of people, and the place had a fun, lively energy without feeling overwhelming. Since it was a warm day, my friend and I chose to sit inside. We had a spacious table with plenty of room for our food and drinks, which made it easy to relax and enjoy catching up. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back for happy hour. It's a great spot for good food, reasonably priced drinks, and a casual place to meet up with friends. read more

My husband picked a Winner! Usually, I'm the one researching and wanting to try new local restaurants. Ten Tigers is off the beaten path and I've met friends here for coffee but after 4:00 it transforms into Ten Tigers. Hubby read about their Smash Burgers so we split one and the flavors with chipotle aioli were the bomb! We've been going to Third Window in SB for our Smash Burger fix- no need to drive all that way anymore!! For $17 you get a Smash Burger that feeds 2 and perfectly crispy thin fries fried in beef tallow. They even serve chipotle aioli with fries- Best!! I ordered the special White Sangria which Is so good I had to order on repeat. Since it was Happy Hour, we also ordered the grilled chicken tacos for $8. We both thought those were tasty as well and their avocado salsa verde is the just like the one I make at home. Ambiance is well curated with welcoming outside patio feeling very open and airy with organic Boho accents and wood features. The servers were efficient but very friendly. Ten Tigers is legitimately a 5 Star - will Recommend highly! Since this review, we re-visited on a Friday evening and ordered the same drinks and meal. I can confirm the consistent quality of the food. This Friday night was hopping with several groups celebrating Birthdays. We lucked out and found one of the last open tables. The servers were very busy and took a while to clear off and clean our table - not a big deal because their priority is serving the tables and getting the food and drinks out to the tables. There is a longer line at the counter to order just before Happy Hour ends at 6:00. Tip- plan your evening to arrive earlier. Ten Tigers is now on our repeat list in Ventura. read more

Hadn't visited in a while so it was nice to check out their happy hour. I love that this place is still a good meal & order at counter and seat yourself restaurant; makes it less formal while still offering great food and drink options. Especially with a toddler (IYKYK). We tried a couple of things and shared them. The fish tacos were better than I expected. Loved the kick of the chipotle sauce on them and the charred pineapple was a nice touch. The garlic shrimp had a nice bite. I wish the spinach and artichoke dip were a bit creamier. As it cooled down, it wasn't as smooth to spread on your chip but still good. And their beef tallow fries are always a must and delish! Service was so friendly! The woman who took our order made recommendations on the menu, was very sweet, and attentive. Servers walking around were also so nice and good about cleaning up unused plates. Great place for a quick, low stakes happy hour and dinner. Family friendly and beautiful setup. read more

It's a tastefully converted multilevel craftsman / Victorian era house on an elevated location just above Main St. with indoor and abundant patio with a variety of table and seating options. Friendly staff and most notable is the excellent food and variety of drinks. Happy hour has a nice list of very tasty menu items (tacos, sliders, shrimp, etc) and some great beer, wine and cocktails at reduced "happy hour" prices. We really enjoy this business and frequent it often. read more

Fantastic salmon dish. My favorite in Ventura! (You have to like rosemary). And the beet and watermelon salad is delicious too‼ Pair them with the ginger infused margarita on the rocks and it's the best meal. I went two days in a row it was so wonderful read more

Came on a Friday night and lovedddd the vibe. It was a perfect place for a date night and to meet up with friends for the holidays to catch up. Music not too loud and The fire pits and outside seating were dreamy and the drinks were so delicious and beautiful. Service was very friendly, they checked on us a few times and let us know when the kitchen was closing. We had the white tiger margarita, ventucky mule, and Jamaica margarita but with mezcal. All 3 were so flavorful and delicious and just the right amount of alcohol. I also ordered their fish tacos which were honestly perfect. Crispy, flavorful, fresh, no fishy taste. We will be back! read more

Ten Tigers - Fish Taco with the best sauce. Alex has the works (cabbage slaw). - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Ventura, California

I have been wanting to come here for awhile. I didn't realize that it is Cajé Coffee Roasters is in the same shop by day until 3:00pm and then Ten Tigers after 4:00pm. We originally came for drinks but as that alcohol hit, we knew we also needed some food! I ordered the Jamaica Margarita. One of my girlfriends got the Dirty Bird and my other one got the White Tiger Margarita. All were tasty with no complaints. For food I got the Baja tacos, one friend got the ceviche and the other got salmon. I am giving them a 4 because even though service was great, ambiance is great the ceviche is kind of a rip-off. It's mostly cucumber and green apple with maybe every 10 pieces being the ahi tuna. It was a great flavor but they need to balance it out with more ahi tuna. I also give them a 4/5 because the music is kind of obnoxious. It feels like it's the same 2-3 songs on repeat. I get it that they are going for an Asian/jungle kind of theme but seriously have your playlist be like 10 songs. It's kind of like being stuck in a Disneyland line and hearing the same music or voice repeating instructions over and over. The patios are quite large with 2 front fire pits. Highly recommend for a nice evening on the patio with good drinks and laughs. read more

Food: 4.25. Came by a little after 5 pm on a Saturday. Place was offering a happy hour (Tue - Sat 4-6 pm). There is outside and inside seating. I found a spot outside with some fire. I waited and waited not realizing that you have to order inside. I then went inside and ordered their HH GingerCat Margarita ($10) and their HH Garlic Shrimp ($12). Food and drink came out timely and at the right temperature. HH Garlic Shrimp came with 6 shrimp. Broth was flavorful. I liked this dish. Was it worth $12 for HH? Margarita was good. Staff was friendly but I wish there was signage that you need to order inside (no wait service). read more

This is a cute mid-sized restaurant off of Main Street in Ventura. You can sit indoors or outdoors, and both areas look cozy. What I adore about this place is that you seat yourself and go up to the cashier to order your food. They give you a number to place on your table and then bring the food to your table. No longer do you have to wait for the server to come by your table when you're not ready and then not be there when you're ready to order; you're able to peruse the menu at your own pace and go up to order when you're ready. Happy Hour is from 4 to 6, so I ordered the BBQ sliders (without BBQ), which elicited a laugh from the cashier. My food and drinks arrived in under 10 minutes, so I was pleasantly surprised. I usually prefer wine, but I tried a cocktail. The cornstarch martini is a vodka and gin-based drink with a delicious foam on top. It's one of the best cocktails I've tasted in a while. Sipping on that delightful, sweet cocktail, I felt transported to a sunny beach. I don't know what they did to the meat or buns or how they perfected everything to combine into a mouthwatering combo, but the sliders were SO yummy. Not to be outdone, the fries tasted scrumptious. I know my way around fries and these fries were just like Pringles. You definitely can't stop at just one. The mixture of salt and other spices has definitely made these some of the tastiest fries I can remember eating recently. The menu also has a ton of other foods and drinks I can't wait to try. I can see this place becoming an addictive habit! Thank you to the friendly staff for bringing everything out quickly, correctly, and for tasting yummy! read more

Best margie and late night atmosphere. Ten tigers has been on my list to try. I'm so happy we did. The service was excellent. It's the perfect place to have a cocktail and food. They have HH everyday except Tuesday. Tuesdays they have a limited menu that features smash burgers. The bartender was unsure if they have a vegan or vegetarian option. I'll definitely be back soon to try the food. The mocktails are excellent as well. read more

I remember when this location was a bunch of different businesses - including my hairstylist. Love the vibe. Casual California- order at the counter and they bring it to you. Chicken Frances -- basically chicken piccata - such a basic dish and holy cow done amazingly well. The chicken was perfectly cooked, the lemon caper and herb sauce was more like a gravy (all the better to eat it with a spoon!) and the mashed potatoes and wilted spinach just added to the delicious flavor fiesta. Really excellently done! Ahi Tuna Ceviche Verde -- this place knows how to create complex sauce flavors. The green mango, green apple, cucumber and ahi all were playful in each mouthful. I would have really loved some avocado in all the green-ness. Fried plantain chips - meh- they didn't add anything to the dish. If you like mezcal, give Dr. J's Medicine a try. Well balanced and smokey smooth. Hubby ordered Swizzle Me Timbers -- with a gin base and it too was absolutely delicious. Weirdly our food came before our drinks - even though the drinks are pre-made in batch. Docked a star because I found a sliver of barcode label that didn't get peeled off the apple before making it into my meal. Can't wait to return to try the rest of the menu! read more

Popped in on late Thursday afternoon to try their new happy hour menu that just started! The new menu offers an array of solid drinks and food items! We focus on sampling their drink menu that range from standard to cocktails to speciality cocktails! Their French 75 was solid with booze! Perfectly made. We also had an old fashion that was light in the bitters and made perfectly as well! Unfortunately we did not get an opportunity to try their food selection. We appreciated sitting at their very small bar to watch drinks being made. Beyond the small bar there is ample seating indoors and outdoors. There is a small front porch area and a larger porch on the side! Cheers! read more

Here for the $10 smash burger Tuesdays!! I've tried the double burger and bbq smash and omggggg, both so good. Must order with the tiger fries, they are crispy on the outside and so potatoey on the inside PLUS they melt in your mouth (bc cooked in beef tallow!!). For $15 (before tax and tip), I was STUFFED. The patty, bun, and toppings were high quality (crisp, bright veggies and pillowy soft buns). It's a gorgeous restaurant with so much seating (indoor and patio), plus it's dog friendly. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you! read more

Very nice ambience, the way to order was unexpected. I have to order my food at the cashier instead of taking a seat and them coming to me. I did not like that set up. I do like that. They have the fireplaces where you can relax and have a drink and it's outside seating so I enjoyed that. We had the burger and the short ribs. That was very tasty. The man at the cashier did let me know that they have a breakfast menu. I will definitely come back and try it. read more

Bar manager know how to construct a proper cocktail and the food menu is inventive and delicious. Why haven't you gone here yet?

I absolutely love dining here! Not only are the food and drinks delicious, but the service is also phenomenal. The ginger margarita is refreshing with the perfect level of warm spice. I tried the fish tacos on my last visit and was blown away by the perfection of flavor and texture. The burger and fries are also a staple. Outdoor seating is super cute and I love being able to sit by the fire while enjoying a drink and great food. Will be back again soon! read more

Last night was my second attempt at hopefully experiencing a pleasant and enjoyable evening at Ten Tigers. Unfortunately, it was worse than the first experience. Once again customer service was the absolute worst. The staff has a terrible attitude including the manager. Hot Plates were dropped on the table by servers with flippant attitudes. Table was not cleared once meals were finished. Complete chaos when ordering . Food was subpar. Not worth treatment or the money. If you are looking for a relaxing environment to enjoy a meal , be treated respectfully and leave with an uplifting experience, Ten Tigers is not the restaurant you want to go to. read more

Definitely a must try if you are downtown and looking for a quick bite and some tasty drinks! I love the decor of this place and the aesthetic of the place. The lights are dimmed down and they have fireplaces outside sets a nice theme. A must try would be their green ahi ceviche, honestly one of the best ahi ceviches I have had. Everything was rich in flavor and plated beautifully. The white tiger margarita was made just right. The coconut milk adds a nice tough to the drink. Everything was beautiful and delicious! read more

It made me so happy to see this space finally have something worth visiting. I spent most of my 20s having oysters at the previous establishment. We found out on our first attempt that the item we wanted to try was in fact not available during brunch hours. We came back a couple weeks later for an early dinner. I'm a fan of their setup. You order your items at the front where they also have a bar, take a number then go find a table. We opted for the last one out back closest to the exit leading to the parking lot. We both ended up getting the burger. I also got the beets with burrata situation. My friend got the margarita and I got their espresso martini. They're getting it done out here. That burger hit the spot. Service was great with lots of friendly folks. I'm so glad there's a spot I can keep coming back to when I'm home. I'll drive from LA any day for you. read more

I've been here a few times and love the food and vibes. This particular visit was smash burger night and I was excited because those are my husband's favorite. We were celebrating his birthday! There were a few issues with our order and getting the burgers right, b so much so I had to speak to the manager. He admitted there were a lot of issues and was willing to make it right. The only thing is I wish he would have taken the initiative to fix it before I had to approach him. I've been here for happy hour as well and didn't have any issues. I will go back to give it another chance because that's how much I like this restaurant. read more

The food, the ambiance, the vacation vibes....I absolutely loved my first experience at Ten Tigers. Let me set the mood...it is an overcast day in Ventura but warm enough where you can still enjoy the gorgeous patio with a light sweater. The gentle breeze lifts up the warmth of the fireplace below me. The music is the perfect acoustic ambient chill mix to get you to imagine you are on vacation in some resort, maybe Bali. I came at 3:30, specifically to have an afternoon latte (from Caje), and then just stayed for dinner. For those that don't know, Caje Coffee Roasters is open in the morning from 7-4pm, and then the transition happens at 4 pm. I decided on the Baja Fish Tacos and the server, so kindly told me I could still order the fries a la carte, so I did, Ten Tiger fries cooked in beef tallow...say less. The tacos were superb. The fish was so delicate even though it was batter fried. It was a very generous portion of fish that just melted in your mouth. I loved the softness of the blue corn tortillas,and the pineapple coleslaw with the Chipotle aioli was the perfect topping. The portions were very generous. The fries, just get them... They are amazing. They are served with ketchup and chipotle aioli... and trust me, if you don't like to share, tell your friends to get their own. They are that good! It is a self-serve style experience, meaning you get your own water from the water station, as well as utensils and such. I did experience the cashier to be very warm and friendly. She came twice to my table, offered me extra napkins (she knew ;) ) and then also bussed my table when she noticed I was done. I don't think this is typical because they have a self bussing area for when you are done with your meal, similar to Caje in the morning. Overall, do not hesitate to come here. The location is beautiful, and it is such a chill spot to hang out with friends, or treat yourself and come alone! You will not regret it! read more

Such a fun new concept bar in Ventura to grab some drinks. Ten Tigers is a cocktail bar and restaurant by night (morning is a coffee shop). I had been eager to try this spot since they opened fairly recently and thankfully some friends were down to give it a go. The restaurant/bar itself is very cute. Feels like you're on a porch in the south with the white banisters and the greenery. I love that they have both inside and outside tables. Outside was fairly busy so we opted to sit inside which was nice and comfortable. The vibes and ambiance were good. Music was playing but at a comfortable level that we could all hear each other talk. The decor was cute and thoughtful. Little homage with Tiger pieces from spot to spot but in an understated way that it wasn't too much. The menu was much larger than I anticipated. Loved it. They had one who page dedicated to cocktails / beer / and wine. The cocktails are truly craft and unique. The food menu was good too but we had just ate dinner so we didn't focus as much on the bites. Cocktails here are a 10/10. Everyone loved their drinks and we all ordered something uniquely different. I had the Dirty Byrd which was such a sweet and refreshing tropical cocktail. The look alone was Instagram worthy. I tried my friend's cocktails and they were fabulous too. From a gin pandan cocktail to a classic manhattan which was elevated with a cool glass, the drinks here are spot on. For food we just split the tallow French fries which were actually very good. Tasted lighter than I expected. Loved the pink aioli sauce and the presentation with a wire basket was cool. Definitely need to come back for a proper dinner. Lastly the staff here were very very nice. You order at a counter which I know not everyone loves but the gal behind the register was bubbly and sweet. I felt welcomed even with the more casual vibes. The gentleman who brought over our drinks was also very personable and nice. Staff here make you feel welcome and I thought the service was really good given it's a partial serve your self type of atmosphere. Ten Tigers is a fabulous addition to downtown Ventura, make sure you check them out soon. I'll definitely be back. read more

Wooowzers... I had never had fries fried in beef tallow!!! Life changing !!! Loved my Ten Tigers Smash Burger that came with those fries!! So good . My marg was great too! My friend had the Greek Lamb sliders and the Swizzle-Me timbers which she didn't like. However, I didn't taste them so I'm only rating my food /drink experience ! I would def get the smash again. It's counter service so don't expect to be waited on. You would order at the counter and they bring your order to you. We got our food /drink really quickly . Great service as staff is friendly and attentive! Such a cute place ! Love the fireplace . So much indoor and outdoor seating . A few parking spaces outback , otherwise you can park somewhere downtown and walk over :) We parked at the free parking by the museum. I would not recommend. We were scared to walk back at 9pm as a lot characters out and we were two girls. That parking lot was pretty dark . Anyway.. great overall experience! read more

What a great new addition to Ventura County! My husband and I are always looking for a great new dinner spots, and Ten Tigers is already one of our favorites. Right off the bat, this location is gorgeous and a bit more upscale while still having a laidback and relaxed vibe. There's both indoor and outdoor seating - as long as the weather is good, outdoor seating is where it's at. Beautiful, comfortable, and with fresh air. Creative drinks that are a bit more alcohol forward. Tasty and beautifully-presented. Not often can you find a drink made with Pandan, but here they offer the Kung Fu Pandan - stronger but with that great Pandan flavor. They also make a great Mai Tai. Delicious food. Their Baja Fish Tacos are 100% the way to go - some of the best fish tacos I've ever had. The fish is so fresh, flavorful, and moist with a spicy slaw and grilled pineapple. If I could get an order of just the fish, I would. Their smash burger is also a great choice - one of the better smash burgers I've had, but it still pales in comparison to the FISH TACOS. They have their own lot behind the building, which is wonderful because parking can sometimes be difficult downtown. Great new restaurant that is perfect for both a date night or a night out with friends. Highly recommend - it will not disappoint. read more

What nice little oasis hidden towards the edge of downtown Ventura! Coffee shop by day and cocktails by night, the cool open ambiance overlooking the beach is the vibes that are always needed I got the Kung Fu Pandan because we can always appreciate a good pun, and it was an interesting mix of flavors, although I think the orange flower water might've been a little too floral and I didn't get as much of a pandan hit like I hoped for, still so many other good looking drinks and nice people working so I'll just have to come back and try some more!
