The Grape Reviews

The show with Tony Maddox and Shannon Pearson was absolutely fantastic! - 5 +++ stars! Maddox invites the audience to sit back and enjoy a shared experience of onenness, folks enjoying songs (starting with Georgia), and smooth jazz and some of the best singing and story telling you'll ever here. Some folks broke into dance while others cuddled up for a romantic evening. Shannon's voice is the purest you'll ever hear on this planet, and that band energized the room nonstop. The young man with the saxophone hit high notes noone's ever heard before. Man does this crew deliver! Can't wait for you to get them back. Dr. Frank Bognar, Ventura

Went to see my friends perform. Was a lot of fun. They really performed well. Atmosphere at the Grape is wonderful. Nice bar and club.

A really great jazz venue, best seating is for VIP members, but I was able to see and hear just fine from my pleb seat in the back. I’ve come back for more and intend to continue to, love this place.

Good potential. There is a decent variety of bourbons and whiskey but the service behind the bar can be more friendly. If there is music playing it is difficult to order and the staff is not patient and act inconvenienced.

I performed with a big band and the venue sounded good and had great staff

Best jazz family owned place in town... Worth a look-see. Happy hour is 5-7 and on some nights comes with music... Top notch musicians. After 7 the main room opens up. Some of the best musicians in town grace this stage...

Best jazz blues club in Ventura county. RJ mischo and band were outstanding blues harmonica and guitar featured. They do not serve food but have a food menu from a place nearby. Mainly sandwiches but good. The bar service and cocktails are excellent. Please do not forget to tip the staff and the band's generously.

This review is based on the female bartender who asked to look at our identification and proceeded to make jokes about our age to the other guest seated at the bar. We take pride in our appearance and we are respectful people all around. Her audacity gave us a sour taste of this establishment.

No food. Great atmosphere and music. Very comfortable bar and beautiful stage. Been going there once at month for a couple of years now

Great Soul food and Gospel music on Sundays!
