Ready to pump a little flavor into your next hangout? Imagine this: music playing, laughter echoing, the killer aroma of burgers and brew swirling through the air—plus, there’s always a seat for you and your crew at Twisted Oak Tavern in Camarillo. If you’re looking for the spot where every night can turn into “one more round,” this is where you land.

Where History Meets Hoppiness

First off, the location has big character energy. You’re walking into the historic Lewis & Son’s Building, standing strong since 1916. You can practically feel the stories in the brick walls, but the vibe inside? Pure modern-day social playground. Right off the 101 on Ventura Blvd, it’s an easy target for anyone craving fresh food, cold beer, and good company. Parking? Easiest decision of the day: the lot’s right next door.

Hours Made for Hanging

Craving a late bite, early brunch, or a post-game feast? Twisted Oak’s got that range:

  • Monday & Tuesday: 4pm-10pm

  • Wednesday & Thursday: 11:30am-10pm (Thurs til 11pm)

  • Friday & Saturday: 11:30am-midnight

  • Sunday: 11am-9pm

Come when you want. The tavern never rushes good times.

Legendary Happy Hour—Seven Days a Week!

Who says happy hour belongs to weekdays? The crew here serves up happy hour specials every day, usually from 4–6PM. We’re talking cold pints, fun cocktails, and hot apps you won’t want to share (but should). Tacos wrapped in fresh corn tortillas, loaded nachos, sausage and brisket jalapeño flatbreads—yes, you probably need two orders.

The Menu: Burgers, Bacon, and Big Flavors

Now, let’s get to the reason you’ll stick around—the food. The kitchen’s all about scratch-made, locally-sourced plates that taste like the chef’s out to win your heart.

Fans keep coming back for the Twisted Oak Burger, dripping with applewood-smoked bacon, arugula, beer-braised onions, bleu cheese, and garlic aioli, all stacked on a pillowy brioche bun. Carnivores? Sink your teeth into the Stout Braised Short Ribs with Yukon Gold mash and roasted veggies, or the BBQ Salmon with a tangy glaze and crispy onion rings.

Veggie lovers, double down on the Forager Burger with mushrooms, Taleggio cheese, and crispy onion rings. This menu plays both classics and unexpected hits: from PB&J burgers with bacon jam to crispy pork belly bites finished in a sweet, sticky glaze. Cravings for lighter bites? Start with crackly Brussels sprouts or share a buffalo chicken flatbread.

Sunday brunches here are legendary—you’ll find classics like waffles, eggs Benedict, and lunch faves that pair perfectly with whatever’s in your glass.

Cheers to Craft

You can’t call it a tavern without a tap takeover. Here, you’re spoiled for choice. Sip local with rotating, seasonal drafts from the onsite brewery. Favorites include the crowd-pleasing Honey I’m Home Blonde (5.4% ABV), the crisp-and-bright Thirst Mutilator Kölsch, and adventurous sips like the bold Take Her Home Tripel (10.8%—brace yourself).

IPA enthusiast? There’s always something hoppy waiting for you—local, hazy, West Coast, and beyond. Feeling stout? Get cozy with their creamy Black is Beautiful Milk Stout or blast off with a big, complex Russian imperial. Plenty of guest taps mean there are always surprises, plus cider for the wheat-averse and even gluten-free cans on request.

Cocktail lovers: your playground awaits. Moscow mules, spicy house margaritas, whiskey classics poured neat or in creative concoctions—and don’t overlook the strawberry basil lemon for something totally fresh. Wine fans have a fun list to explore, from crisp chardonnays to bold cabernets that make every sip feel like a celebration.

Non-drinkers aren’t left out, by the way. There’s a full slate of sodas, teas, mocktails, and virgin mules. Everyone’s glass is full.

Big Parties, Big Tables, Big Smiles

Bringing the squad? Reservations are a breeze online, whether you’re wrangling the whole crew, the extended family, or it’s finally your turn to arrange the office dinner. The private banquet “camel room” is perfect for special celebrations, and there’s an outdoor patio for sunny afternoons. Sports fans get front-row seats to the big game with huge TVs. Looking for a quieter corner? There’s space for that too.

Stay in the Loop, Stay Social
