We came at the brunch hour so we ordered off their brunch menu. I got the Breakfast sandwich and my friend got a breakfast burger. We opted for just water today. My breakfast sandwich was as you imagined an egg sandwich to be. Cooked egg, 2 slices of bacon with aioli sauce on a toasted brioche bun. I got a side of hash-browns instead of fries. I would have preferred my hash browns to have a bit of a crisper crust but they were bad. My friend substituted sweet potato fries for the regular fries. The service was pretty good. Our waitress did check on us once our food arrived but didn't bother to refill our waters at all during our meal. I loved the low key vibe of the place. At least the patio seating. Just as we were about to leave there was a large party coming in which was a reserved table because we saw "reserved signs on it" and I heard the waitress asked how many dogs were there and the said 3. So I guess it's a pretty dog friendly patio which is a plus for dog owners.

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!

I'm horrible with names, but my bartender was on point! I apologize for not remembering her name. She welcomed right away (not that I needed it, but it makes a good impression). It was chilly, so I wanted a warm drink. The first drink was nice, but didn't quite hit that spot (based on my tastebuds, nothing to say about the quality of the drink. It was good!). I told my bartender I was thinking about something different for my second drink. She was kind and thoughtful in helping me make a selection. I went for a coffee variety drink. AND THAT WAS WHAT I NEEDED! I appreciate the quick service, the thoughtful advice, and the tip shelf delivery in service! I recommend The Bench Warmer!

It was wonderful to see that they are pet-friendly to service dogs, and people were truly understanding and welcoming.

What made the night even better was Miguel, an employee at Loose Cannon, who gave us great recommendations and was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He made sure my friends and I were comfortable and truly enjoying our night. I would definitely recommend going with friends and family. The music was one of my favorite things about Loose Cannon and really brought the whole experience together.

Came here since we have been wanting to try it since it opened. My son always sees it and always want to go inside, as well. I love that they have a mini bowling game since that's another thing my son has been wanting to do. We get here, I go to the bar and order a beer and some food. I really like their selection of beer. I like how they have some that they switch out. I ended up getting their rotating nitro stout. Food I got their pretzel and their veggie burger with fries. Veggie burger was for my husband which he said he would go back for. Pretzel was nice and soft which is my favorite style of pretzel. The cheese sauce it comes with was really good. I am glad I found their selection of the mustards they have prior to finishing the pretzel. Found some pretty good ones I liked. Overall the worker and ordering experience was nice. Now here comes the part that was a bummer. Something was going on with their network so none of the games were working. Luckily since we had ordered drinks and food we had time to see if they would get it back up, but no good. We walked around at the Harbor and still nothing. Son was definitely sad, but he somewhat understood. I believe it was the manager, they helped us get a refund for the amount we loaded onto a card to play. Which when that happened they didn't sound to confident they had done it successfully. I believe we did get a refund for it. Overall, despite that, all the workers we encountered were nice and sweet. We will eventually go back and try it again.

Parking: Paid lot, $1/hour for a max of 4 hours and then I think it was $10 for the day. Scan the QR code in the parking lot and pay on your phone. Seating: They have 2 patios (front and back) which are both dog friendly. We sat on the front patio which is fully enclosed and had the host not referred to it as a patio, I would have assumed it was just part of the indoor restaurant at a glance. Dog Friendly: My biggest gripe with this place and the reason I will not return is while they allow dogs, they require them to be stuck under the table, against the wall. Basically out of sight like some kind of vampire gremlin that can't see the sun. Their tables are not set up to have a whole dog underneath, especially if you have 2 or more people at the table. There is not enough room for feet, the dog, dog's water, and dog's food. What made this even more annoying is, 1) it wasn't busy on the front patio at all, and 2) the table diagonal from us had a toddler rolling around on the floor in the center of the walkway. Service: The host was very nice and friendly. Our server was polite but seemed to have the personality of a napkin. He hovered for the drink order, quickly returned for a food order, and right after ordering an appetizer, immediately returned to see if we wanted anything else. Already annoyed with the dog situation, I told him no (which was not the original plan). He snatched up the menus and couldn't be found until he brought the check. Food: I had the $20 medium crab dip appetizer which was okay, nothing memorable but nothing bad. The star was my dog's Surf N Turf dish with angus beef, wild cod, rice, and veggies for $13. I thought the price for hers was reasonable based on the quantity. They had several other options on the dog menu as well. One other thing to note, they call their fries "freedom fries" - maybe another reason not to return, if I needed one.

This place is a beach bar & grill enjoy the comfortable atmosphere.

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!

It was a slow night for them. As we arrived at the bar to check in and I have to say that there was not much joy in are presence. My husband presented the Groupon and she immediately said, "Yeah, were not taking those anymore" and mentioned the manager or owners name. My husband immediately showed her that the Groupon had not expired yet. She fiddled looking in the computer and eventually allowed us to sign the waiver and Ray led us to our lane. Listen, if the place was super busy and they were swamped, I could see why they would be bothered by a Groupon hassle. But that was NOT the case and the fact of the matter is, they did not apologize for doubting the validity of the Groupon. It was more like we were an annoyance that we came in at all. Didn't ask us if we wanted something to drink. Ray was excellent at his presentation and instruction, but we were the only people throwing at the time and I was having issues with even hitting the board with the metal part of the axe. Just a helpful hint for the throwers, you will have to get someone back over there by asking if you need anymore help. They are not going to volunteer to help you again. All and all it is a fun environment, but I doubt we will be going back anytime soon. You want to spend money in an establishment that wants you there. Not one that acts like you just pissed in their Cheerios by showing up. Fun place to try, but frustrating if you can't throw the axe correctly to make it stick to the wall.
