Very casual but the food is great! Their fries are some of the best in town. Hubby usually orders the burger or Reuben sandwich. Only complaint about the Reuben is there's never enough sauerkraut... I almost always order the gyro wrap or plate. It's soooo good. Service is friendly and excellent. If you are wine drinker, you can pick a bottle of wine from their market to bring into the bar and they charge you a corkage fee, but it's still very reasonable, if you like a little bit higher end wine than what's generally poured in a sports bar! Highly recommend this place!

Great food + cold beer! Great place to watch games. I love getting the filet mignon skewers. The French fries are so good too!

Food is always fresh and they give you great portions. My husband and I always love coming here. The staff is always so sweet and family-like. We live down the street and love coming here for some gyro lamb plates and beef fattayas!

This place is a grocery, bar, take out and dine in restaurant. White the combination. I can tell you the food is very good if you don't mind the set up. A little confusing of a concept but it works. The food was exceptionally good. The grilled meats were most and flavorful. Portion sizes were bigger than I expected. Good value for all the plate options as they are all served with rice, humus and salad. Price for take out is quite a bit lower than dine in. The price difference was about $5.00 for the works plate. The price difference for the works plate is $5.00 more for dine in vs take out. I don't know what makes the dine in option so much more in this case to justify the price difference.

Updated 2023: the food is delicious, service is quick and friendly, even on a busy Sunday afternoon. Excellent spot to catch a Niner game!Fun sports bar & deli inside this Mediterranean market/liquor store make this one of Midtown Ventura's hidden treasures.

Confusing sports bar , market Syrian cuisine with inconsistent food . Middle Eastern cuisine not a Ventura strength . Prefer traditional sports bar and upscale pub grub

We visited Santa Cruz Market Bar for the first time because we had the Beer Card. We would have never stopped in here without the beer card because it's hidden inside of a market. The location of the bar is unique. They have a larger selection of beers on tap. I had the Firestone Cali Squeeze Blood Orange beer and it was delicious. We also tried the Mediterranean platter appetizer. The hummus and falafel were good. The pita was a little dry and too thin for me. The ambiance is a causal sports bar and is very simple. I wouldn't go out of my way to return here, but I had no complaints about it.

Don't be thrown by the dining room located in back of this quaint European foods market. Make sure to take time to look at all the different foods products for sale. I found some great Vietnamese egg noodles for cooking at home. The ambiance is like a small sports bar. There are tvs with sports, bar seating, tables and booths. The wait staff is friendly and seems family owned. The menu is simple and includes Mediterranean/ Greek style fare. I've tried the beef kabab, the falafel wrap and the greek salad with a salmon skewer. The food is very well spiced and fresh. The sauces are delicious especially the garlic cream sauce. The prices are fair for the amount of food on the plates. Highly recommend.

Pretty interesting Dive Bar in Ventura. Today it's loaded with Eagle Fans & 1 Cowboy Fan! Bar Food and a terrific selection of beers! The servers are busy there is only 2 and the place is football crazy. Seating is barroom comfortable.

Don't go here just to look or for one thing. I went for one item and they were out of it, so I left. Then the cashier started to accuse me of stealing. A line of his customers all gave me mean looks like I was some thief. They must get a lot of shop lifters to have to accuse innocent people. It was embarrassing to be accused of something I did not do. Two customers followed me out to my car and started looking in my car and giving me angry looks. The cashier convinced them I stole something too. I have over 6 figures in the bank, not interested in stealing. Very embarrassing experience, so I won't be back.

It's the best bar to watch a game period. Great taps and good prices. Most of the bartenders are very nice and accommodating. The food is pretty good in a pinch but not the best ever. The gyro kabob royale is the entree to get if you are going that route.

The food is amazing! Mark and Diana are great hosts, Diana brings out the food with a huge smile and remembers 6+ orders without writing them down. She's so quick to make sure you never go thirsty or hungry. It gets busy during when it's football season but that just adds to the great ambiance

It is great to have this mediteranian market here. They almost have everything you need . I got some persian , Greek and American groceries. Loved it . Their customer service was great too . There was a young lady who went out of her way to find my items for me since it was my first time , not being familiar with the items locations. Thanks

I use to come here often when I lived in Ventura and totally forgot about it until last night. Our friend had Greek food catered! Wow is all I can say. The food was so delicious. The gyro meat was to die for. So moist and amazing flavor. The dolma, hummus, chicken and beef skewers were all so tasty. I ate my whole plate and wanted to go back for seconds. I would have them cater my party anytime! This was a great reminder to head in for lunch when we are in town.
