![Venturas New Tiki Bar [From Build to First Drink]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nPQosqy5PZ8/mqdefault.jpg "Venturas New Tiki Bar [From Build to First Drink]
In this episode, I head to Camarillo, CA in Ventura County to visit escapist bar builder Notch during the final stretch of his latest tiki bar build. Walls are still unfinished, details are coming together, and the vision is finally becoming real.
We tour the space while it is still very much a construction zone and talk with the builders bringing this bar to life. From the craftsmanship to the problem solving, this is a rare look at what it actually takes to build a modern tiki bar from the ground up.
Then, months later, we return.
The bar is finished, the doors are open for a soft opening, and the drinks are flowing. I taste every cocktail on the menu and see how the space feels now that it is alive and full of people.
From raw build to first pour, this episode captures the full journey of a brand new tiki bar coming into existence.
