TGIT, Social Tap, Ventura, July 20, 4 – 6 pm

It’s summer and what a better way to celebrate the season than a TGIT at Social Tap followed by a stroll on the beach. Rebecca is having us meet up there on July 20th, 4 – 6 pm. Social Tap is located at 1105 S Seaward Ave, Ventura CA 93001.

The owners of Social Tap have developed the concept only knowing the restaurant business from the customer side of the table. Their vision is to focus on customer service, great food using high quality ingredients, creative cocktails & an emphasis on local craft beer. Everything that comes out of the Social Tap kitchen is scratch made, from their signature sandwiches, braised tacos or wing sauces. It is their firm belief that great food is the foundation to a restaurant’s identity, therefore they don’t cut corners.

You can view their menu here: Social Tap Menu

After the TGIT happy hour, we’ll take a stroll on the beach and enjoy the fresh ocean air, so bring a wrap in case it is chilly!

Hope to see you there!

TGIT Victoria Grill and Pub, Thursday May 18, 5 – 7 pm

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!
