I go to Dargans sometimes just because I crave their Turkey Burger, though I've tried a lot of things on the menu and never been disappointed. It is family friendly, but also has a big bar section with plenty of tables. Overall great food food and fairly reasonable prices for downtown. Service is usually great.

I have never been let done by the food here....I have gone here for years. This is NOT pub food, this is consistently good food. The bloody mary's are pretty darn good too. Lunch special can't be beat....$8 for a great meal. It does get a bit loud in the evenings, but I just go early.

I work in Ventura and during the week Dargan's has an $8.00 lunch menu that is great! (I don't think it's offered on the weekends) The seared ahi salad w/wasabi-cucumber dressing is awesome!

After spending a week in Ireland last summer, finding Dargan's in Ventura was a real treat. They have all the great Irish beers on tap and some authentic Irish food favorites.

One of my new favorite restaurants in downtown Ventura. Fun "pub" atmosphere and better-than-expected food. Great selection of beers. Love their Ahi!

We went here on St Patrick's Day, so the crowd was insane! Still, we had a very pleasant experience. The staff handled the crowd amazingly well. We had about an hour wait to get seated, but that's to be expected on St Patrick's Day. When we did get seated the server was attentive and the food was excellent! We had... More

This is our go to place for a casual, fun restaurant with good Irish pub food and beer. Service is very good. I especially enjoy a glass of Stella (I know, it's not Irish), spicy curry, corned beef and cabbage and Guinness French onion soup.

Absolutely great service with tasty specials. The dinner salad is delicious, as well as the steaks with either the wine reduction or the whiskey pepper sauce are winners! A flexible menu for appetizers with a full bar!

Not a big fan of downtown Ventura, but this restaurant really stands out. Beautiful interior and exterior. The restaurant is divided into a pub section with multiple tvs, and a family section. We had a pleasant romantic dinner in front of the fireplace in the family section. The menu is reasonably priced, and their lamb entrees are excellent with generous... More

Stopped in here for a refreshment while visiting downtown Venture. Sat at the bar with my husband and enjoyed a beer on tap. The young woman behind the bar was very pleasant. Ordered a plate of potato skins per her recommendation. They were very good. This establishment has a friendly atmosphere. A gentleman, that I believe was the owner, was... More
