Night Clubs in Ventura County (Oxnard, Simi Valley: hotel, home, buying)

[SOON2BNSURPRISE]

I know some of you may not be into the night club scene. It is something that I love even though I don't drink. Love to take my wife dancing though and have some fun.

One of my favorite places is the Bombay Bar and Grill on California Street in Downtown Ventura. They always have a nice croud on Friday and Saturday nights.

The Watermark is a place that we have yet to visit but have heard great things about. It is on the roof of a 3 story building right on Main Street in the heart of everything. Lots of action happening on Main Street on the weekends.

On Friday nights in Westlake, Sure I know its not Ventura County but it is closeby, Cisco's Mexican Restaraunt has a happening club scene

I have not been but many of my friends and some family members have suggested Ruby's Cafe in Oxnard. I have driven by and they do seem to have a nice vibe going on.

I'm not much of a drinker either, so I tend to need something else to entertain me when at a club or bar. I also have a fairly strong aversion to most clubs, pubs and bars after experiencing UK drinking establishments. Pretty wild places and way too crowded! I've found two in Simi Valley where I feel very comfortable and they both have a nice atmosphere. Both places offer entertainment other than just drinking, such as pool tables, live music, dancing, comedy shows, etc.

Cisco's and JRB are considered night clubs? ick. hahaha.

I had a really bad night at JRB's once. I'll sum it up - Bad cover band, Jager, me and two friends switching off buying rounds, throwing up in my GF (now wife)'s new car with the window up.

I'm not sure what constitutes night club. I've heard people go dancing at The Arena in Simi.

Borderline - T.O. - the few times I went for friends birthdays it was bad line dancing mixed with stupid rap music, topped off with overzealous, drunk with power "bouncers".

I used to get together with friends at the Crown and Anchor in T.O.

JJ Brewski's in Camarillo has live music sometimes.

There is a place I've heard of in the Janss mall called Sunset Terrace. I've seen people post on facebook about dancing and drinking there.

It is the new rebuilt Cisco's in Westlake that is a night club. After 10pm anyway and on the weekends. Remember the old place burned down and another place went in and rebuilt. When they left Cisco's took it over. We went on Saturday night and had a lot of fun. We also had dinner and my only complaint was that they gave us all too much food. LOL

By the time I got to Ventura clubbing was no longer my scene and I doubt there are any clubs in the county that I'd fancy.

I'd book a nice hotel in LA and make a night of partying at a club.

Yeah, when we lived in midtown, my wife and I enjoyed the local bar scene (complete with local bands), especially Sans Souci (younger more punk-ish crowd, nice setup) and Goodbar (cheap drinks, old school rockers, and surf videos).

There was a dance club north of California Street, near the fountains, but I forget the name. "Hush" or something like that. House, top-40, R&B. A forgettable place, but more "upscale" and LA-like than the rest of the midtown dives.

For good partying, though, we always drove down to LA. Strolling down the strip in Ventura was for when we were too lazy to get out of town (and when I wanted to drink and couldn't drive), which ended up being most weekends, since Ventura is such a pleasant place. When we lived in North Hollywood, we'd drive up to the 805 on weekends just to decompress. Then when we moved there, we had nowhere else we wanted to go.

I remember strolling home under chilly stars or maybe a marine layer, kept nice and toasty by some of Goodbar's hideous $2 cocktails.

Ah, I miss it!

It is kind of funny now when you walk past the clubs or eateries in Ventura on Main. Most of them have door men now. Kind of becoming less small town and more LA ish. Not that I mind though. It is interesting to see how it has developed over the past few years.

Bombay's is free....it's "ok" they have a band in the front and a DJ spinning in the back.

I go to Capistrano's sometimes at the Embassy Suites on Fridays and Saturdays. They have a live band there that's pretty good. On Sundays they have salsa lessons and dancing which I attend very often.

There is Bogie's in Westlake that is awesome too...I know Westlake isn't VC but it's close enough.

There's also Chapter 8 and Padri's Martini Bar. I've been to Padre's and it was ok. I think that's in Agoura though.

Bombays is free at the front dance floor and main bar area. The back has a $5 cover.
