Season Ticket

Horrible Food.
The only "Sports Bar" in Ventura County with no High Definition TV.
Read that: No HDTV!!!!

No security nor any policy to prevent trouble nor to kick troublemakers out. Well known and bad people take advantage of it.
Creepy regulars. Find them on the Megans law websites.
No place for a girl with any character or self worth.

Season Ticket is a good candidate for Bar Rescue, Kitchen Nitemares or Restaurant Impossible.
Owners are stubborn to improvements or change. They don't want to hear it, and they won't kick the creepy assholes out.

They rotate chefs through the kitchen, but then insist the chefs cook the failing ways the owners tell them too. The owners just don't get it. Tough nuts to crack. Hopeless.

Entertainment several nights a week but beware of the punk bands that also bring violent customers. In addition to the other security problems, you will be hassled by them too and that ain't good. Owner knows it and books them anyway.

High ratings are from band members.
Owners have no clue what they are doing.
Go elsewhere.

My lunch buddy and I drove to a different place, and discovered that it doesn't  actually serve lunch. Downhearted, but not defeated in our lunch quest, we got back in the car and headed back towards work looking for a place to eat. We pulled into this strip mall and walked over to the two restaurants we knew about. Pizza Place, and Sushi Place. As we walked towards them, this place revealed itself to us. I wasn't really feeling Pizza  and Sushi's not really my thing, so I opted for the third option...bar food.
    We walked into the darkened place and looked for people after our eyes adjusted. There was one other person at the bar, and she was talking to the bartender. I asked about the procedure, and she came over and asked what we'd like to drink. We both opted for iced tea.  When she came back with the iced tea, she took our orders. She was friendly, and helpful. Eager to please.
    There was a row of televisions surrounding the place. I was facing one that was playing Bones, my buddy was facing one that was playing Chew...the chew....some cooking thing. Adding illumination to the place was a lamp that hung over a pool table, and a pair of golf video games. The rest of the place had tables, and the bar.
    The menu is fairly small, with a couple of sandwiches, and a load of fried things.  I eyeballed the Fried Sampler, but my buddy guilted me into getting something healthier. (I've been kinda on a pseudo-eating-healthy kick recently) So I changed my order to a grilled chicken sandwich. He went with the Chef Salad. (He's normally healthy like that) As the bartender left with our order, we both picked up our iced tea and took a sip.
    This was some of the most god-awful iced tea I have ever had.  I thought to ask them if they had forgotten a dead cat in the iced tea pitcher, but felt that would have been rude. The bartender was very friendly, and nice. We sat for a bit chatting about the weather, the weekend plans, and the work back in our cubes.  Suddenly, from behind the bar I hear somebody shout out;  "How do I make the chicken sandwich again?"  
    We continued our discussion about random stuff, and after some time, an elderly gentleman came out with our food in his hands and arms. He was very friendly and worked very diligently to carry everything all out in one trip. I had to take my plate over to the pool table to get a picture of the food. It's very dark in there. We began to eat. My chicken sandwich was just that. He prepared a chicken breast, and stuck it between some toast. No seasoning, no taste beyond the chicken. My buddy's salad was massive. Deli Meats, cheeses and vegetables and all sorts of things were piled up in a big heap on his plate. A cup of vinaigrette salad was placed next to the pile of salad. He said it was pretty good.

          So, the people were nice, the place was functionally sound, and the food was just about palatable.  From what I'm reading here, I guess it's a super great terrific awesome bar to hang out at and to get totally plastered at later on, but it's a pretty terrible place to get lunch at.  Lunch was $22 after tax & tip. Not too bad for two lunches I suppose. But still, more than likely I won't be back.

We were there again last week - had a GREAT time.  Always a good crowd with
VERY nice people.....
