Institution Ale Co.

This place is great and the beer and pizza is always good.

Great food! great beer!

Great brewery, good food options and always killer service. Few times when the order line is long, their employees come out to take your order in line.

My buddies grooms dinner was held here. Cool atmosphere and the pizza was excellent.

Amazing place. The beer is great, there's plenty of different seating options depending on the kind of atmosphere you're looking for, and the beertenders are aways super friendly.

Great food and beer

I've never knew pretzels could be so good

This was a busy place on Labor Day, but the staff did an excellent job of serving people. The beer was good, at least the IPAs that we had

10/10
Best beers
Best serving crew
Best place to grab a chill drink in Camarillo

Traveler passing by here, only place open on my route between Camarillo and Thousand Oaks. The staff (Alex & Alissa) was very welcoming and had a great vibe, their music selection was on point. 10/10 would recommend. The beer selection was tasty too <3

LARGE AREA INSIDE AND OUT. GOOD BEERS AND PIZZA

This is my favorite local beer meeting place for a great time with family or friends. The ales and beers are very, very good. I wish they would expand the menu but pizza and pretzels are great.

Best brewery in town!

My favorite thing is cheese bread

If I could give zero stars, I would.

I’ll be honest, if you’re just here for the beer and don’t mind chaos, maybe this is your spot. But my experience was straight-up horrible.

I don’t mind waiting in line, but clear communication and basic customer respect are crucial, especially when I’m trying to order food for my 2-year-old. After waiting patiently, I finally reached the front… only to be skipped so someone could add to their previous order. Annoying, but fine. I figured I’d be next. Nope. They then called up the person behind me to order instead.

I raised my hand to let them know I hadn’t been helped yet. One of the workers looked confused, the two staff murmured to each other, and then just… kept serving the other customer like I didn’t exist. No apology. No acknowledgment. No “we’ll be right with you.” Just ignored.

I’d love to assume they were trying to coordinate who would help me next, but the total lack of communication made it feel like I was being completely disregarded. That’s not just bad service, it’s unprofessional and disrespectful.

I’m not writing this just to vent. I’m writing in the hope that management sees this and takes action to fix what seems like a culture of disorganization and indifference. It might just be one customer to them, but it matters.
