The Tavern Ventura

The Tavern is Ventura's most popular dance club and bar. As a house transformed into lounge, there are separated areas for every type of nightlife. Downstairs offers big booths, a full bar and often a live band. Walk farther into The Tavern and you will find another bar, complete with dance floor and another live band or DJ. The back patio has yet another bar as well as cabanas, booths and plenty of deck space for guests to mingle and dance. The Tavern also functions as a restaurant during the day, which is the best time to enjoy their classic and rustic decor, complete with vintage books and blackboards. While its location is bit separated from downtown's main drag, its worth the short walk to take advantage of a true lounge and dance floor.
