Strange Beast

About

Strange Beast is a cocktail bar modeled after Japan's hidden izakayas, serving craft drinks and Japanese-inspired food in an intimate downtown Ventura setting. The menu, crafted by Michelin Bib Gourmand chefs Tyler Peek and Ryan Simorangkir, features seasonal cocktails designed to pair with shareable dishes, ramen, and sushi. This is a cocktail-first experience where every drink and plate is built for those who care about craft and flavor—a spot that feels like a discovery each time you visit.
