St. Patrick’s Day Around Conejo Valley, Camarillo and Ventura

St. Patrick’s Day Around Conejo Valley, Camarillo and Ventura

St. Patrick’s Day is here, which means it’s time for green beer, Irish food, live music, and at least a few people acting like they’re one-sixteenth Irish because their cousin once bought a shamrock shirt. ☘️

A little fun history first. St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated every year on March 17 in honor of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. It started as a religious feast day and grew into a bigger celebration of Irish culture, community, music, food, and pub traditions. Funny little twist, blue was originally more closely associated with St. Patrick before green took over through Irish national imagery and the shamrock tradition. Humans do love a rebrand.

If you’re looking for the best local places to celebrate, here’s a verified roundup across Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Moorpark, Newbury Park, Camarillo, Ventura, and Simi Valley.

🍀 Thousand Oaks

Crown & Anchor
This is one of the strongest local picks if you want a real St. Patrick’s Day atmosphere. They’re promoting St. Patrick’s weekend and St. Patrick’s Day festivities, including bagpipes, drums and dancers, live music, green beer on request, and Irish food specials like corned beef and cabbage, Guinness stew, and Irish stew. They’re also open 11 AM to 2 AM on March 17.

The Tipsy Goat
Tipsy Goat is doing a St. Patrick’s Day celebration tied to its 15th anniversary, with live music, food and drink specials, giveaways, and reservations available from noon to 8 PM. Good pick if you want a busy social crowd and more modern bar vibe.

Pedals & Pints Brewing Co.
For a more casual brewery feel, Pedals & Pints has a St. Patrick’s Day event from 5 PM to 7 PM on March 17. Less full-tilt Irish pub chaos, more relaxed local hang.

🍀 Westlake Village

Brent’s Bar at Brent’s Deli
A nice choice if you want festive but not shoulder-to-shoulder packed. Brent’s Bar is running all-day drink specials, festive cocktails, and a special Happy Hour plate, and the deli is also leaning into the holiday food side.

🍀 Moorpark

Lucky Fools Pub
Lucky Fools is one of the most obvious Moorpark stops for St. Patrick’s Day, because the name practically signed the waiver already. Their event promotion teases a weekend of St. Patrick’s fun, shenanigans, and live music.

🍀 Newbury Park

Stagecoach Inn Museum
Not everybody wants a pub. Some people travel with kids and basic responsibility. Stagecoach Inn Museum hosted “Luck at the Inn” as a family-friendly St. Patrick’s event with games, crafts, music, and activities.

🍀 Camarillo

Twisted Oak Tavern
Camarillo has a solid St. Patrick’s Day option with Twisted Shamrock St. Paddy’s Day Party at Twisted Oak Tavern. The event listing says to expect festive decor, live music, Irish tacos, and corned beef and cabbage on March 17.

🍀 Ventura

Ventura St. Patrick’s Day Parade

Ventura Harbor Village: St. Patrick’s Day by the Sea
This one is great if you want festive with ocean air instead of dark pub carpet. Ventura Harbor Village is hosting St. Patrick’s Day by the Sea from March 15 to March 17, with live Irish music, festive food and drinks, and holiday finds.

If your crowd prefers bouncing around downtown, Ventura also has an official St. Patrick’s Day weekend bar crawl on March 14, with included drinks or shots, drink specials, free entry at participating bars, and an after-party.

🍀 Simi Valley

Bella’s Bistro at Simi Valley Town Center
Simi Valley was a little thinner on clearly verified big public St. Patrick’s Day events, because apparently some places enjoy making people detective their nightlife plans. But Bella’s Bistro is promoting a St. Patrick’s Day celebration with signature cocktails, cuisine, and live music.
