Reviews for Rocks & Drams in Ventura, CA
First off, Queen bee may quite possibly be the best drink I've ever had. My husband and I enjoyed trying the fun drinks menu,... the very friendly staff, the music was bright but not too loud for deep conversation, and the surroundings were comfortable butclassy. Will return when we're in this part of the world again, a refreshing contrast when you are tired of beer. Read more
Always a great experience. Each cocktail is a piece of art and the staff take great pride in their work.
Drinks are pretty good but the food was to die for. Also the server for our table (Friday night) was very welcoming and... accommodating. Was also very family friendly :) Read more

*Serious* 5-star food and service. Upon walking into the restaurant, I was thrilled by the gorgeous decor and furniture. Whoever... did the interior designing has stellar, vintage-inspired mod taste. My boyfriend and I sat at the bar after kindly being greetedby our friendly bartender Matt. We sat down set on only doing drinks since we had our names down at Lure, but upon perusing theselection of food options, we found it irresistible and decided to dine in--gourmet tacos, burgers, and fritters. Who couldpossibly say no? We loved the unique and artsy fartsy drink menu. I chose a Cosmo and my boyfriend got the Gin and Juice. MyCosmo was oh, so yummy, pretty, and expertly made. My boyfriend enjoyed his Gin and Juice so much, he guzzled it down andordered a beautiful White Russian. We ended up getting the Luau Pork Tacos, Wagyu Burger, and Batted Cauliflower. The pork tacoswere incredibly decadent and tasty, and my boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed his wagyu burger. He's not a very emotive one, but hewas "mm"-ing throughout his entire meal. The cauliflower bites were perfectly crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, andextremely flavorful. Also, Matt and Jane provided excellent service. Matt showed the perfect amount of attentiveness andkindness, and Jane was jovial and enjoyed talking to her customers. They both made our first experience at Rocks & Drams a veryspecial one. We both agreed that we would absolutely be back in the future. The only caveat for the restaurant is that the signfor Rocks & Drams is very discreet and kind of hard to see, especially because most of the downtown Ventura foot traffic is onthe other side of the sign. I think a better sign would amp up visibility and interest in new customers. I first thought thisplace was a furniture boutique at first glance. Hopefully the owners fix that issue up really soon for their sake, because wereally want them to be around for a long time! Side note--I had never heard of a "dram" before and foun Read more

Great lounge atmosphere for chatting with friends over awesome cocktails. I sat at the bar and talked to new friends bonding... over delicious drinks, the gin and juice has elderberry that makes it sweet but not too sweet. I love that they use the big icecubes that you should use in cocktails so that they don’t melt too quickly and water down your drink. Bartender was friendlyand efficient. Would definitely come back, there’s an indoor and outdoor seating as well Read more
