Rudder Room

I've lived in Oxnard most my life and I've also lived on Silverstrand and Hollywood beach part of my life, and not till my 31st  year of life did I make it to the Rudder Room. The Rudder Room doesn't offer the best drinks, or even the coldest beer, but they do offer an atmosphere, that is complete authenticity of a dive bar. Though the Rudder Room is not your average dive bar, its a dive bar with view, and you can drink on the sand in front of the bar. How completely cool is that? Plus Seth Mcfarland has been here. I enjoy the Mai Tais, though they are completely dependent on who makes them. There is a juke box there too, which has gotten more money out of me then a Venetian Hotel slot machine. Don't go as many years as I did not checking out the Rudder Room, it's a true dive, with a view.

Like other reviewers have mentioned, it has potential.

The Good: Great location on beautiful Hollywood Beach with chairs in the sand and volleyball nets.

The Bad: It smells like piss when you first walk in, it's cash only and the younger male nighttime bartender is always angry and extremely rude.

I'd spend more time there if I felt it was a friendlier and cleaner atmosphere but there are better places to spend time at in the harbor like The Lookout where the staff is amazing, food is good and  they take credit cards.

To many lame locals with something to prove.place smells like piss.cups are always dirty.but when your a lush I guess that doesn't matter.
