VENTURA HQ + BREWERY

Our flagship brewery and headquarters located in Ventura, CA is our largest and most spacious taproom. It features two private or semi-private event spaces, plus other rental opportunities!

Our original location on Thompson Blvd is nestled in Downtown Ventura, just a few blocks from Surfer’s Point. The old brewery space has received a facelift and has been converted into a recreational space, with a pool table & arcade games, a great live entertainment set-up and additional seating.  The backroom can comfortably accommodate 175 guests standing & 100 guests seated.

FAQs

Please fill out the form for more details on pricing, availability, and other potential options, including table rentals & full buyouts.

What is a beverage minimum?  

The beverage minimum is how we assess the fees for your exclusive use of the space. Every time a beverage is purchased it applies to your minimum, you will only be charged a rental or “facility fee” if you and your guests do not meet the minimum. Only onsite beverage consumption of Topa Topa products apply to your beverage minimum.  

How long is the event rental?   

If you book a space with us [ex. The Sagebrush Garden or The Patio in SB] you have exclusive access to the space for up to five hours, including set-up and breakdown; during normal hours of operation. We can extend that timeline with advanced notice, for an additional fee.  If you reserve tables with us [not available at all taprooms] you have access to the tables exclusively for up to three hours.

What are the food options?

•  HQ // Food Trucks are available daily at our Headquarters on Colt Street. Additionally, you are welcome to bring your own food in.

 What are the non-alcoholic beverage options?  

• We always offer water free of charge at the taprooms, so you can leave the plastic water bottles at home!  
•  At all of our locations, food trucks or food partners always have non-alcoholic beverage options available for purchase.

 Decorations!  

• Most often, you are welcome to bring in decorations for your event! The decor is subject to TTBC Management approval. Decorations cannot cause permanent damage to the facility or the property as a whole. 
• No bounce houses or jolly jumps are welcome on property. 
• No use of confetti of any kind is permitted on the premises (ex glitter, confetti, confetti balloons, rice, birdseed, etc.)  This policy is strict and will be enforced.

• There will be an additional cleaning fee of $200 or payment for damages, if such items are used or left behind.   

 Do I need liability insurance?  

We ask that groups over 50 guests procure a one day liability policy. It is an extra layer of protection for you. I often recommend that guests utilize their homeowners or car insurance providers, as they already have your details on file and you can often get a great rate. In the past, I have also had guests use the following companies: Eventsured, Progressive, Allstate, Event Helper.
