If you’re searching for a place in Camarillo where the drinks are cold, the crowd is lively, and the bartenders remember your name, look no further than The Local. Located at 795 Camarillo Springs Rd, this Irish-owned and operated bar is the kind of spot where every visit feels like a reunion, even if it’s your first time through the door.

The Local Experience: Where Everyone Feels Like a Regular

Step inside The Local and you’ll notice something right away: the atmosphere is relaxed, the music is just right, and the staff greets you with a smile that feels genuine. Whether you’re flying solo or rolling in with friends, you’ll find yourself chatting with someone new within minutes. The bartenders are quick with a witty comment and even quicker with your drink order. Owner Mikey is often on hand, making sure everyone’s having a good time and sharing a laugh with guests.

Drinks That Steal the Show

The Local isn’t just about friendly faces. The drink menu is packed with surprises. You’ll find 16 rotating taps featuring everything from crisp local lagers to bold IPAs. If you’re a cocktail fan, get ready to be impressed. The bartenders whip up creative concoctions that change with the seasons. Think espresso martinis that have regulars raving, or festive specials like the “Little Cloud” (mint and coffee, a match made in cocktail heaven).

Wednesdays are a crowd favorite. Why? Every cocktail is just $10, all day long. It’s the perfect excuse to try something new or stick with your go-to classic without breaking the bank.

Whiskey Lovers, Rejoice

If whiskey is your drink of choice, The Local is your playground. The bar boasts one of the best whiskey selections in town, and they keep things interesting with a weekly Mystery Whiskey. Here’s how it works: they pour a world-class whiskey, but the label is hidden. Take a sip, guess what it might be, and wait for the big reveal at the end of the week. It’s a fun way to discover new favorites and test your whiskey knowledge.

Bring Your Own Feast

Hungry? The Local keeps things simple: they don’t serve food, but you’re welcome to bring your own meal or order delivery straight to your table. Some nights, you might catch a pop-up food vendor, but most of the time, the culinary world is wide open. Grab your favorite takeout, settle in with a pint, and enjoy the freedom to eat what you love.

Entertainment for Every Mood

The Local is more than just a bar. It’s a spot where you can catch the big game on a 120-inch projector screen or one of the many TVs scattered around. Sports fans will appreciate the surround sound and the lively atmosphere during game days.

Feeling competitive? Challenge your friends to a game of pool or try your luck at one of the table games. If you’re in the mood for music, the jukebox is ready to play your favorite tunes. The bar is cozy, so if you’re coming with a group, plan ahead to snag a table.

Clean, Comfortable, and Always Welcoming

One thing regulars love about The Local is how clean and comfortable it is. The floors aren’t sticky, the restrooms are spotless, and the whole place feels well cared for. It’s the kind of detail that makes a difference, especially if you’ve spent time in bars where cleanliness is an afterthought.

Events and Specials That Keep Things Fresh

There’s always something happening at The Local. From St. Paddy’s Day festivities to anniversary celebrations, the calendar is packed with reasons to stop by. Don’t miss out on limited edition merch, like the 6th Anniversary Tee, which you can pick up if you want to show your Local pride.

Hours That Fit Your Schedule

The Local keeps hours that work for just about everyone:

  • Monday and Tuesday: 2pm to 10pm

  • Wednesday: 12pm to 10pm

  • Thursday to Saturday: 12pm to 11pm

  • Sunday: 10am to 10pm

Whether you’re looking for a spot to unwind after work or a place to kick off your weekend, The Local is ready when you are.

Why The Local Stands Out

The Local isn’t just another bar in Camarillo. It’s a gathering place where Irish hospitality meets California cool. The drinks are top-notch, the staff is genuinely friendly, and the vibe is always upbeat. You can watch the game, shoot some pool, or just relax with a cocktail and good company.

If you haven’t visited yet, now’s the time. Bring your friends, bring your favorite takeout, and get ready to make some memories. At The Local, every night feels like the best night out.
