Owned by the Ulrich brothers, this neighborhood bar and restaurant in downtown Ventura offers creative dishes and drinks. Chef Gabriel Lindsey’s southern flair and appreciation for coastal ingredients are evident in plates such as ahi tuna tartare with Calabrian chili and preserved Meyer lemon served with house-made Old Bay-seasoned potato chips; and dry-aged Flannery hanger steak with red-wine jus, marinated onions, and roasted hakurei turnips. During happy hour, 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. daily and all night on Mondays, discounts apply to dry-aged double smash burgers, shrimp fritters with shishito tartar sauce, and Lindsey’s signature black-garlic “mop sauce” chicken wings, as well as to wine and cocktails. Try the reimagined dirty martini, made with Plymouth gin, preserved lemon brine, French vermouth, and olive oil, or discover a new sparkling, light-bodied chilled red, or orange wine from the list of finds from the local West Coast, Western Europe, and Eastern Europe.
