Brophy Bros. Ventura

A seafood lunch over a pint beer and clam chowder at Brophy Bros. Ventura was a great way to pass time in Ventura, California

It had been absolutely WAY too long since I’d seen Lucia, a friend of mine from elementary school. So, when suggested that we met for lunch, she suggested Brophy Bros, located at the Ventura pier – slightly up the coast from Los Angeles in Ventura County.

When we both arrived, hugs and salutations followed.

As it was a beautiful day outside, we opted to wait for a table on the patio.

Chilling and catching up at the bar, I enjoyed a pint of FIRESTONE WALKER’S CALI SQUEEZE IN BLOOD ORANGE.

It was fantastic to relax and catch up while overlooking Ventura harbor.

Once our table opened up, it was a pleasure to sit closer to the water.

To start, I ordered the BROPHY’S NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER. Upon first taste, I was in food heaven.

It had been so long since I’d had clam chowder that I greatly enjoyed. It was the perfect appetizer to enjoy while basking in the views of the pier and the green hills of Ventura.

Up next, was the BEER BATTERED FISH & CHIPS. Honestly, this was average to me.

On the other hand, my friend loved her AHI TUNA POKE (Sushi-grade tuna, cabbage, mixed greens, bell pepper, daikon sprouts, snow peas, crispy wontons, & sesame vinaigrette) and highly recommended it.

Basking in conversation and vibes, it was a perfect day to enjoy the sun, the landscape and friendship.
