Bombay Bar & Grill

Great time in Ventura County. This high-class kitchen+bar is designed to relax and have fun even if you don't dance. The working owner is there to greet all of his guests. Best time all day long.

Funky Ventura joint supporting local, live music! Love it. Saw a new band called Destiny Inn. Watch out! They gonna be big soon!

The web site says it’s open at 1130 on Saturday but they don’t open until 4pm. Drive 2 hours as a special date with my wife because we wanted to try something new. Thanks

Uptight & overpriced. Paid $6 for a ginger beer with a wedge of lime. Came to see my talented friends play in a band. They're Looking West and they're WAY too good to be playing for free in a pretentious overglorified sports bar like this. During the break, went next door to The Habit so I could get a veggie burger for under $8. I won't pay $17 for a burger or $11 for fries here. Ridiculous. Politely asked security guy if I could bring my burger in a small plastic container inside. Told him I paid for a drink (and tipped $1). He went to talk to the bar girl I tipped. Came outside and said no. Guess things would be different if I coughed up $5 for fetching a bottle and glass and being a standard person. Sat on the curb while a random crazy homeless lady lurked around the premises. Guy eventually left me alone with her. Thanks. Was 55° in February at 7:30pm. Pretty chilly. Felt very isolating and demeaning. So petty. I would have let someone in who had paid already personally. I went in to grab my glass bc I thought I might choke on my food. He came out and said, "You wasn't supposed to have this," and took it as I was re-entering. Wow. Happy to say I'm almost 5 years sober so thanks for that. He could have given it a whiff. This is how Bombay treats customers. 0 hospitality. I will ensure everyone knows. Never gonna give this hole another penny. It's giving barn dungeon, drunk uncle vibes.

Security filmed our friend. We asked him to delete the video from “recently deleted” but he refused: manager said it happened in public but he represents bombays. The initial security and the other workers continued to be antagonistic.

Bartender was rude from our arrival to about departure.
