Welcome to Bright Spark Brewing & Restaurant

“ I had the chicken sandwich. It was phenomenal spicy, tasty and awesome. The service is wonderful. They offer house made curated brew. Please try and enjoy. I would suggest the pomegranate roseMary sangria as quoted "Thanksgiving in a glass". ”

“ One of the most unique and delicious pizzas I’ve ever had. They make personal-sized, thin crust pan pizzas - I tried the potato dukkah and the flavors blew me away. Very non-traditional but oh so tasty. Would love to come back and try the Detroit-style. Beer was too. EDIT - I think this style of pizza is referred to as “south shore bar” style, originating in Massachusetts? Would be curious if the owners can confirm. Anyway, very good pizza. ”

“ This place is incredible! Their menu is filled with savory options and you really MUST try the chicken sandwich. We ordered ours spicy and it does kick! The kale slaw is the game changer. ”

“ The interior is spacious with high ceilings and leans into its industrial brewery vibe. They serve a small collection of house-made craft brews on-tap in the typical crowd-pleasing genres. The curated food menu is heavy on craft pizza, but we opted for the fried chicken sandwich and the chicken shawarma sandwich. Both were excellent in their own right, each with layers of flavor that complimented each other well. I washed down my sandwich with a malty and delicious German märzen beer, while my wife chose the Italian pilsner. Can't wait to go back and try their pizza. ”

“ I should have written this review sooner. Bright Spark is one of my favorite places in Ventura. It's a great brewery, a great restaurant and and a family-friendly space for my two young kids. We have had family dinners, date nights, birthday celebrations and just casual friend meet-ups at Bright Spark. Anytime we have people visiting from out of town this is our first stop to show them what Ventura is like. I have also gotten the opportunity to get to know the owners Tim and Linzy. This is a true family operation with Tim brewing and Linzy building an amazing menu and programming. They are so welcoming and are obviously pouring so much of themselves into this place. It's always a treat to get to see them and say hi. I would be remiss to not highlight some of my favorite food and drink: * Beer: Sailor's Veil Hazy IPA (pictured) * Pizza: Sausage & Garlic Confit (the Labneh yogurt sauce balances this thing out - it's to die for) * For the kids: Mac & Cheese - this is the real deal house made and so good, not from a box. I could go on and on about this place. Definitely give it a try - you won't regret it! ”

“ Bright Spark is our family's go to for a fun and safe night out where we can bring our little. Can kids run wild? Absolutely not. But can they enjoy a slice of pizza or pita with hummus and dance or play aboard game with parents? Absolutely! Cool, laid back atmosphere, good drinks, tasty food, great events, consistent, wonderful staff... just a cool place we enjoy with our family and friends. BS is my favorite go to. ”

“ The beers are really good, however the food is seriously amazing! Best chicken sandwich I've ever had in my life, period! It's also a cool spot to unwind and spend time with family. Highly suggest this place! ”

“ We recently had our daughters first birthday here in the event space and it was perfect!!! Although the room was a little warm because of the kitchen it was the perfect day. Everything was amazing. The food, service, and space was just excellent. Linzy was great to work with and was very prompt in her responses to me with working out details. Also a great place to just come in for lunch on the weekends. Always mellow and great food and great for families. ”
