The Thirsty Ox

Mariah, the bartender when I came in, was friendly and personable. I came in to eye the pool tables and have a drink before meeting an old friend for lunch. I moved from Oxnard in 2008 when this venue was "Jolly’s" and it was not a place for single women. I will return tonight to play pool. It felt safe, welcoming and generous with their pours. Hard to find nowadays….

A decent late-night place with pool tables.

Nice, warm ambiance with wonderful servers. The delightful drinks are reasonably priced. Not too bad spot for a late night out.

This has potential to be popular only problem is some of the Bartenders seem to ignore women who they don't know. I like to go here on way home or when I'm the driver for people I know who are drinking. I come to have a soda. I have stopped telling people to go here. The Bartenders who are here now totally ignore me when I come in. Tonight I timed her 12min. Only reason she finally served me was because 3 guys came in and she had to go by me to serve them. I still tip the dollar. The old bartender was friendly and polite enough to not charge for the soda designated drivers should have soda for free as long as they at least tip.

This is my go to spot for an after work beer/shot or a good miche! Cailin makes some of the best! I recommend checking them out on the weekends too, they have DJs Friday and Saturday nights and it’s a fun atmosphere.

Great staff. Good vibes. Nice pool tables. Tasty drinks. Decent prices

So to be fair, I gave the place 5 stars because of the service, which was great. I gave the atmosphere a 3 because it was a place for someone under 30, not like myself. Just here in Oxnard visiting and the two security guards raised my concerns. 3 pool tables, tons of big screens and great drinks.
