Libbey Bowl

This is a unique venue. Very small so every seat is pretty much a good one, with a few exceptions: Forget paying more for the front section because people just walk down to the stage and dance, so you can NOT see anything from the first 10-15 rows unless you stand up the whole time. It's a fun atmosphere and if you're into dancing then join the crowd. But don't pay for premium seats thinking you're going to have a better view, you won't see anything. Not trying to be negative because overall it is a fun venue and we had a great time. Just wish I had known this stuff before we booked our seats. When we went to a concert there it was sprinkling rain. It was so light you wouldn't even really get wet except for the fact that the netting over the seats collect the water and unfortunately our seat was one of the very many that has a constant drip directly on you and your seat. Many people had to vacate their seats or get wet. Again, if you go down to dance by the stage it's not a big issue, but if you want to enjoy sitting in your seat, that makes it very unpleasant. If you are staying in Ojai I recommend hitting a show here. Even though most are smaller or less known performers, the venue makes it a great experience. Clearly most of the attendees are locals as they all seem to know each other. They were very friendly and a pleasant crowd. There were one or two vendor booths with some very basic food including hot dogs and baked goods. There is also a beer and wine Booth with typically High Venue pricing. But at least it's on site and available.

I LOVE the Libbey Bowl Perfect place for a concert or an event. Located in the heart of Ojai. Free street parking all over the city, which is a major bonus! We saw @ToadTheWetSprocket on a beautiful July evening. It was very hot, but somehow the venue felt cooler. They sell beer, wine, and water. The Libbey Bowl is in a very pretty park, so if you come early to the venue, there are some great places to hang out and chill. The staff is wonderful and very neighborly. Bring sunscreen and bug spray. It's an outdoor venue. There is a nice, shady overhang to protect you from direct sunlight, but will probably not keep you dry if it rains.
