It took awhile to get a drink BUT worth the wait, when my drink wasn't quite right the bartender fixed it up. We were there to celebrate a Friend, turned out very nice

Great drinks, fun specials. There is one pool table inside and a corn hole set up outside. I think there are always some type of drink specials so it's worth a stop for a cocktail or beer and a quick game after work or anytime to chill 😎

Ashley is Friendly, knowledgeable efficient and welcoming. This is one of the BEST bars in Ventura, CA. They have darts, piool and a calm atmosphere. Karaoke is fun and the Host supercedes my expectations!

Local hang. Went there to hear live music. Loved the band Sirsy.. I'll have to keep my eyes out for more good music. If you want a flavor of some of the locals of East Ventura, you hit your mark here. Very friendly and the drinks are good, and the staff is amazing

Holy Cow , been going to the Garage for years and after the remodel I barely recognized it coming in! The place is well lit and the theme and decor just pops with color I love how the place is holding up now. Had a great time watching buena onda the stage looks great and still has some remnants of the past. Overall got to give this place a visit if you are interested in local spots.

Rad bar that has bands playing on the weekends. This is your spot if like throwing darts. Multiple new boards and there is a dart league too! Best part is they have very reasonably priced drinks and the bartenders are top notch as well.

Best neighborhood bar in town! All of the bartenders are amazing, the owners and staff are friendly and fun, and they work hard to make this an all inclusive, comfortable spot for a quick drink after work or really get your party on with live music on the weekends. They have taco and trivia on Tuesdays, game nights on Wednesday, Tiki drink Thursdays and Monday is potluck and karaoke. There's always something happening at The Garage Bar!

Just a cool spot. Pool tables, dart boards, outside patio, great drinks, great people.... a neighborhood bar that welcomes everyone. Also, dart tournaments. You may have to be pretty good to win, but everyone is invited to join. Good drinks, good people, good times.

Ever since they renovated, I was blown away by the stylish ambience and spacious set up. The bartenders are all so genuine and kind... gotta love the live music and other activities they have available. And my favorite drink is their blood orange craft beer!

Nice little dive bar next to the pizza joint. We went in mid-afternoon on a Saturday to grab a drink while we waited for our pizza. The bartender and patrons were equally friendly and entertaining. The drinks were STRONG and cheap, for Southern California! We will definitely be back.

Suspected roofie incident. This is not a complaint about the venue itself. This review has nothing to do with the service that I experienced. I am writing this review as a warning for public safety. I have reason to believe that my drink was roofied Monday evening, 2/3/25, as I blacked out suddenly and without warnings, shortly after I was there. Furthermore, I woke up 3 hours after blacking out feeling extremely nauseous. This was not from drinking alcohol, as I did not consume even close to enough to cause such symptoms. The only thing that could potentially have caused such symptoms as blacking out without warning and then severe nausea is a knockout drug.

Was racially profiled right off the bat. I started a tab and paid my total, but noticed two charges from this establishment in my statement the day after. Had to report fraud and get a new card which was inconvenient. I guess if you look a certain way you’re not welcome here. Sucks.
