The Garage Bar Bar • $
1091 Scandia Ave, Ventura

“We were visiting from out of town, staying at an Airbnb across the street looking for a way to spend the night. The staff here had a way of making the whole place feel like a big, warm common ground place for people of all types. It’s just such an easy-going, wonderful vibe. I was reminded why I love playing pool so much for the first time in a long while, and I've played all across bars on the west coast! It was so cool just hanging out and learning from others who love the game as much as I do. It’s a rare thing to find a place that feels this genuine and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back!“

Mystic Water Kava Bar Ventura Bar • $
1124 S Seaward Ave, Ventura

“Stopped by Mystic Water Kava Bar in Ventura and had my first kava experience—definitely something different and really enjoyable. The kava was smooth, relaxing, and had a nice calming vibe to it. You can feel it working without being overwhelming—just a chill, stress-free feeling.

The atmosphere here is super cool—laid back, welcoming, and a great place to unwind or just hang out. Staff was friendly and made it easy for a first-timer to understand what to order. Definitely a spot I’d come back to when I want something different than the usual bar scene.

If you’re in Ventura and looking to relax, this is worth checking out.

This place rocks. Local love approved.
DC Rock & Soil — we deliver rock, sand, gravel, DG, and road base.“
