The Saloon Ventura
456 E Main St, Ventura, CA
Crema's Take
“This Ventura gem punches above its weight with creative, thoughtfully crafted cocktails—like their standout Think Beautiful Thoughts mezcal drink—paired with surprisingly solid vegan and vegetarian food options that actually impress. The real magic is in the vibe: a genuinely chill, welcoming spot where the staff (regulars rave about Kelsey and Brenda) actually has time for you even when slammed, making it equally perfect for a solo drink or gathering friends. Sunday happy hour all day seals the deal for anyone looking for quality cocktails and good energy without the pretension.”

Sunday is happy hour all day=win win Best part is that even though it was crazy busy and only Kelsey was bartending, she handled it like a boss. She was on it and was with everyone quickly, made bomb drinks and hella kind. Even with a few rowdy and pushy customers, she handled everything great. Can’t wait to have Kelsey as my bartender again!
Wow!! This place is legit. Brenda h was our gal. She was awesome !! Super helpful and kind. Our drinks were amazing and the atmosphere was very cool. Keep up the good work.
My FAV place in Ventura for drinks and good vibes. Super chill, excellent cocktails and awesome food. My all time fav is Think Beautiful Thoughts mezcal cocktail, Fried Chi’n Vegan bao and fries. It’s my go to order with lots of left overs to enjoy all over again tomorrow. Plus I love that my dog is welcome too. I Love and appreciate they still have vegan options-thank you 🙏
Randomly stopped by with a group of friends and noticed they had a special going on for a shot and a beer for $10. I heard other patrons ask if the kitchen was open, and it was but I personally didn't try any of their food selection. The bartender was a great guy and was quite prompt with our orders. The place itself was a nice spot to relax and enjoy a drink. Although it wasn't too busy when we walked in, i noticed many folks sipping on their drinks while working on their laptops! Maybe they had Wi-Fi but I didn't ask or check. If you want a chill spot with good drinks that won't break the bank, this is the place to be!
I absolutely LOVED this place. I forgot what it's called (lol), but I had a drink with bourbon and cherry, and it was seriously so good. They had awesome vegan and vegetarian options too! I will definitely come back with my friends!
