Property Description
Step into a piece of Ojai history with this rare opportunity to purchase the Deer Lodge, the town's oldest and most beloved restaurant and tavern. Established in 1932 as a hang out for military personnel during WWII, this watering hole has evolved over the last 92 years. It became a grocery store and supply store on the edge of the Los Padres National Forest, then a kitchen was added and along came the bikers - every weekend over many decades. Rocking and rolling inside and out by the Santa Maria BBQ in the parking lot alongside 200 bikes! A little gentrification happened when the pool tables were removed and a restaurant was created inside and out - hosting many events, including numerous weddings (Ojai is a popular wedding destination), pre-wedding dinners, wild Halloween costume soirees and every party imaginable. The bar is still standing and many locals and travelers alike have called it one of their favorite places to be. The business is being sold with the thought that it will be handed over to the next entrepreneur that will incorporate all of its' history and recreate one of the best spots in town. Type 47 Liquor License is included with the sale; list of inclusions available for all serious buyers.
