Rebecca has found another new place for us to try out! Sharpen your darts and chalk your pool cue. We are heading to Victoria Grill and Pub at 1413 S. Victoria Ave, Ventura, Thursday, May 18 from 5-7pm. It is near Harbor Freight, Wendy’s and the 99 Cents Store. Plenty of parking.

The Victoria Grill and Pub offers all the camaraderie, charming atmosphere and enchanting flavours of an English Pub, here in Jolly ol’ Ventura. They proudly offer a little something for everyone, from a sampling of British Faire to American favourites. Some notable British fare includes Fish and Chips; Bangers, Bubble and Squeak; and Cottage Pie. Rebecca plans to have the Chicken Wellington; she noticed a random person at the bar having a sandwich that’s large and easy to split or bring home for the next day. They don’t have the best HH prices (only $1 off drinks) and only the regular menu but the portions are ample and the prices are reasonable. Their full menu can be viewed here: https://www.victoriapubandgrill.com/menu

We plan to be upstairs near the dart boards and pool tables. Join us to have a great time!

Rebecca has arranged another great TGIT Happy Hour! LPSC is headed to the Collection in Oxnard to the Lazy Dog Restaurant on Thursday, Feb 16 from 4-6 PM. Location is 598 Town Center Drive – drive around Whole Foods to find the best (free) parking behind the restaurant. Some of you may still have your $10 certificates we got at our last attempt to have a TGIT Happy Hour there. Their refrigeration broke and they gave us a nice parting gift! Start looking for it if not already used. 

If the weather is good we will be outside on the patio. If cold, windy or rainy we will be inside.

Once upon a Thursday dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door— “‘Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “saying its TGIT – Only this and nothing more.”

The Raven Tavern is located at 1651 Victoria Ave, Oxnard, CA 93035. Please join us there from 4- 6 pm on Thursday, November 17th, for TGIT and nothing more.

The Raven features a Happy Hour that includes:

• $5 Raven beers and $1 off other fine ales
• $8 – $14 glasses of special Wine and Rose wines
• $5 Well drinks and $2 off other cocktails
• $5 Hand Pies, including Cornish Chicken, Steak and Mushroom, and Veggie Hand Pies
• $4 Raven fries
• $9 Smoked Salmon Blini, and MORE!

Friendliness, humor, hospitality, fine food and drinks: all these combine to create The Raven Tavern experience. There is nothing to equal the ambience of a great tavern, nothing to match its casual and attractive sociability. Our goal is to allow you to relax and be yourself, to take pleasure in company and enjoy the art of conversation; to enjoy good wholesome food with satisfying and distinctive drinks.

Hospitality that exudes naturally from our staff; with a good-natured mixture of gossip, wit, conversation, debate and information, proffered with friendly and efficient service.

“Be that word our sign in parting, bird or fiend!” I shrieked. Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”

In honor of Octoberfest (which is really in September), Rebecca has arranged for our next TGIT Happy Hour at Fluid State Beer Garden, 692 E Main St, Ventura, CA 93001, in downtown Ventura. We will meet from 4-6 pm.
