25 Best Cocktail Bars near Simi Valley

“Sitting outside is nice. Drinks are good. Beer is good. The food is good but not great. The portion size has decreased especially on the happy hour menu which is usually shared. When its slow service is good. When its busier service is very slow and hard to get the servers attention because they do not have enough servers on. They think they are saving money this way, but people end up leaving or not coming back because of the slow service.“

“A great steakhouse. That is what it is and if you are going for the so-called modern place is not that. Great food the best service. Well prepared steak, seasoned lightly, and cooked perfectly. The sides were a perfect size. The cobber was fantastic.“

“One of the top three restaurants in the neighborhood and was my chosen favorite for birthday dinner this year. The menu is excellent, a variety of appetizers, salads and entrees which ensures good options for everyone. Highly Skilled Chef, his creativity is amazing, absolutely the most flavorful preparations, always beautifully plated and taste divine. Very Good Service, staff is casual friendly and appropriately attentive. Special kudos to the Bartender. She spins inventive and delicious cocktails, knows all the standards, is attentive to the clientele, and offers a really great boutique wine list. She takes pride in her craft. Foodies will not be disappointed here.“

“My favorite place to go in the area. I always take people here and Phil and the team always make us feel like the most important people in the room. The food is fantastic. We tried the dessert special this week (cinnamon bun dessert). It was incredible. Highly recommended!“

“My wife and I visited the Lure Fish House in Westlake Village on April 6th. The restaurant has a great design and was very busy but service was still quick. We had the sea bass, seared scallops, and a couple of drinks. Both entrees were delicious and the drinks hit the spot. A couple days after we left I realized that I had left my credit card. I called the restaurant and talked with the general manger and he found the card. Unfortunately I live about 140 miles away but the GM offered to send my the card which I received shortly later. I just want to say the restaurant not only has great food, service, but they are also very honest and we will definitely return. Thank you, David and Lucia“

“What a great craft cocktail bar. Amazing drinks made by true bartenders. Atmosphere is great. There is no food, but you can go to Bad Ass Tacos next door and bring it over. Small place so plan your arrival time accordingly if you want a table.“

“We love to dine here. Ambiance and food is very good but the noise level is high can't hear conversation! We ate grilled octopus, Cioppino and bone in rib eye all very delish. Our dessert was heaven semi freddo pistachio and pana cotta!“

“Cork dork is one of the most incredible restaurants, the ingredients are all locally sourced and it shows in the taste + quality of the food!! Chefs Danny, Dom and Alejandro are beyond talented, everything they create is exceptional. Every dish is made with such creativity and the values Danny has given the restaurant is reflected in the incredible guest service and overall experience. I was eating foods I typically don't like and enjoying it....the Chefs really can do it all. Great service, setting, and even better food, highly recommend this place to everyone, especially foodies!! (Attached some of our favorites but you rlly can't go wrong with anything on the menu)“

“Wonderful wonderful experience. This place is a hidden gem - the inside ambiance is great, service is the best in Westlake area, and the food was terrific. Wonderful flavors, perfect prime steak and the sauce that came with it was incredible. Shrimped fried rice and veggies was perfect. I was blown away how good this experience was. Even the crème brûlée cheesecake was incredible. Not a full bar but they do have wine, sake and soju cocktails. 10/10. Our server David went above and beyond. We need this in the neighborhood go check it out.Vegetarian options: Fried rice and vegetables and other dishes.Dietary restrictions: Accommodated all allergies and preferences.“

“The ambiance of this establishment exudes an enchanting charm, evidently crafted with immense care and a keen eye for detail, transporting one into a realm akin to a mystical garden. The culinary offerings were exceptional, both in flavor and presentation, contributing to the overall delightful atmosphere.Our server, Ashley, epitomized professionalism and warmth, attending to our every need with attentive and gracious service. Her engaging demeanor and meticulous attention greatly enhanced our dining experience. Individuals like Ashley are truly a rarity and add immeasurable value to the hospitality they provide.Thank you,Rozi“

“Prosperous Penny is only open on Friday and Saturday nights in the Four Seasons in Westlake Village. The vibe is chic but dim. There's seating at the bar, but there are a few other couches to sit on. It feels very cozy, mellow but an elevated experience. I have never tried to order food here, and I don't know if they serve any. I've popped in after I've eaten at Coin & Candor for drinks. The drinks are great, as are the bartenders.“

“We had excellent service. The chicken & waffle sliders (3) are so flavorful and tender. I would definitely get them again after initially feeling that they wouldn't be my favorite appetizer. We always get bacon deviled eggs (5) for their simple goodness. Slider cheeseburgers (3) are another solid appetizer. We would have gotten the buffalo cauliflower except we had someone with us who doesn't like blue cheese. I was disappointed with the carnitas nachos thinking that was going to be my favorite appetizer, but they were just okay. The loaded tots were in a similar bucket where we all wanted to love them based on the description, but in the end, probably wouldn't get them again. They have such an extensive food menu that we will be trying even more next time. My biggest complaint about the atmosphere is the cramped layout and only having 1 bathroom for each gender where the sinks are located inside the restroom creating a backlog. I hope they can expand one day!“

“OK, maybe a 4.5 star. I have been going here for decades. The menu is diverse offering seafood, like most don't. This isn't the bad cooking smothered in mole sauce and delivered to your table like others. I think the current star rating is not a good as they really are. The reviews are pretty old, so I thought I would update mine. Will be back this week.“

“This maximalist Indian bar and grill offers stimulation with a capital S. There is a giant flatscreen TV on a wall showing 90s Bollywood hit songs and a playful interior dotted with a straight-from-Punjab tumbi and Jago chhajj that reminds me of a traditional Indian pub in Southall. Plus, the food is just fun. Channa bhatura, pani puri, and bhel puri are street food options in India, but this is the first north-of-the-valley joint that actually serves them up in traditional Punjabi style. Expect all the usual favourites like dal makhani, curries, and doughy, butter-brushed naan cooked exceedingly well. A myriad of lamb options for the finicky carnivores. And loads of standout, traditionally seasoned vegan options for dedicated Angelenos. Tandoori paneer are beautifully layered with a light tandoori masala vs. a typically heavier yoghurt marinade, making it a light snack to enjoy before dinner. And our favorite is a bountiful veg biriyani--colourful veggies, brimming with saffron, fluffy rice, and a touch of herbaceous spices. Definitely add on an order of the homemade gulab jamun, which melts in your mouth with its rich and decadent texture crafted to perfection. Add in impeccable service, fair prices, and inventive dishes from the husband/wife owners and you have an elevated Indian eatery you'll want to go to often as an escape from the mediocrity of those Indian valley options.“

“Wait staff is great, got us seated in under 5 mins & got all our orders in very quick. We ordered the mussles & were surprised by just how much we were given. The pork sliders were also great. Definitely a spot worth coming back to?“

“The paleta margarita is always delicious and strong and huge. Comes with lots of ice. The taquitos can be made vegan if you ask for all the toppings on the side and avoid the dairy and dressings (honey). The chips and guacamole are always like the best thing ever. Did you know they have habanero salsa? It'll knock your socks off. Yes, it's spicy lol. For a nicer ambiance ask to sit outside because indoors is a bit noisy. Bathroom can get messy at peak hours. Excellent service. I am a very repeat customer. Good for families or a night out with friends or a hot date. Oh and you can it all to go, just call ahead. Parking is dicey on Canyon Club nights and it can be cold at night. Cinco de Mayo is literally a no go, too busy. I detracted a star because there's nothing inherently vegan on the menu. But I could live off the chips and salsa. Seriously, go try.“

“1st off, we will be back. My wife and I stopped in early (about 4:45pm), so we did not want a full dinner. We ordered the Spicy Ahi Tartar (5 stars) the Steak bites (5 stars) and Garlic Brussels Sprouts (3 stars--under cooked but good the next day). Service was polite enough, but not very attentive (3 stars). We were seated inside in a nice quite booth. It appeared that most of their customers were outside on their patio or at the bar (those are the only two places the Happy Hour menu & prices apply). Next time, we'll come a bit later and do a full dinner--stay tuned...“

“Came in for the first time yesterday. Our server Craig gave excellent service, was very attentive and answered all the questions I had regarding the menu. I had the 6oz Filet and my grandparents had the French dip sandwich. We all enjoyed our food. Everything was very delicious. We will definitely be back again soon.“

“I love Atost’s aperitifs and I love their customer service. Every holiday season I buy some bottles for coworkers and friends. They are always a hit. This season I purchased 5 bottles but unfortunately FedEx messed up my delivery. Emily, Atost’s event manager, and Kyle, Atost’s founder, were so quick to respond to my email and resolve the shipping/delivery issue. The company goes above and beyond with both their products and their service. I will continue to be a regular Atost customer.“

“Our over all experience was very good, however, there was a large group that were particularly noisy which distracted from the usual ambiance. The service was slower than usual also, not sure if there was a staffing issue. I had noted on the reservation that it was a birthday celebration, there was no reference made to this at all and usually the waiter identifies who the birthday celebrant is and at the very least wishes them a happy birthday. This was disappointing I have to say, and not the usual standard at Coin and Candor.“

“Food was magnificent i was highly pleased! I rarely give 5 stars but this place was great, the breakfast burrito was yummy but a little dry, the sausage was INCREDIBLE. I'm normally not into vegan sausage but it was incredible and then just look at the table it was gorgeous!! Service was simple and polite, the food came out fast for a sunday afternoon! The bloody mary isss missing something , perhaps the tang , salt, or just needs a little more lime. Overall it was the perfect brunch experience on a sunday, we were in and out in a reasonable time and I am leaving a very satisfied customer.“

“This place hits every single time. No matter what time I go, what I order, or how many people we have in our party we have never had an experience short of excellent. Everything about this place will leave you feeling full and taken care of. The Horchata is the best around and I love to try every place I go. The nachos, enchiladas, tamales, and fajitas all recommend. One time I went there for one of my kids birthdays and they made it So special. 10/10 recommend. Our favorite sit down Mexican in Newbury ParkZ.“

“I've been to the Bamboo Room twice within the last six months. The staff is extremely friendly. Romy is very accommodating and Tom makes you feel right at home. I highly recommend the burger sliders!! We had two of our events here and we plan on coming back, so whether you looking for a lounge with a beautiful ambience, or an outdoor hang out while drinking some fine wine I recommend stopping by.“

“I've been coming here since I was a kid, so close to 25 years and the food has always been delicious. That bean dip has been a they serve with chips is second to none. Pro Tip: if calling in a take out order, if a lady answers the phone and puts you on hold, just hang up and call back in a few minutes, or you'll forever be on hold every time. Just this person though.“
