Super cool spot!! There is no food menu at Transmissions, solely beer, but they are attached to the best pizza in Cali... Toppers Pizza! The waiters actually bring your pizza to you on the Transmissions side. So when I say attached, I really mean they are as one. The brewing tanks are super impressive! Large and I charge... lit with cool neon lights! Cool to see for sure! They have a huge indoor and outdoor sitting areas and lower floor and upstairs. There's a complete huge loft. TV's everywhere. Lots of people watching the game last night. The beer is super fresh and tasty!! Definitely a must try. Flight of beer, football and pizza you can't go wrong! I think this is the largest brewery in Ventura.

Love the venue, especially second floor overlook bar. Always come here when I have a need for beer and pizza (since Toppers is right next door). I love their standard offerings, and they're one of the few local breweries that have good sours on tap. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

Amazing place. So many types of beer, hard seltzer, slushies. The creamsicle slushie with a coconut cream top is so delicious, I'm hooked. The people are super friendly who work there, it was my first time and they were super chill and offered me samples to try before I decided what I wanted to order. The vibe of this place is amazing. There's outdoor seating with a fireplace, upstairs seating with an amazing view, indoor seating, this place has it all! Another awesome thing is that it connects to Toppers pizza, which is to die for pizza. So the combination of these two places together is serious heaven. If I lived in Ventura I would be a regular- since I live in SB I'll trek down any chance I get.

Fun place to hang out with friends! My husband loves their beer and his favorite beer is their transmission light. I love their orange creamsicle slushy drink. My friend didn't like it, because she thought it was too strong, but I didn't think so. It might also have to do with the fact that it comes out of a slushy machine, so the mix might be a little different each time. Service was fast and good. I would love to go back again soon. Plus you can also grab a couple of drinks and go next door to Toppers for some pizza!
