Went in for lunch recently and was very pleased! I had the corned beef lunch which came with cabbage and mashed potatoes. It was very very good, especially the potatoes. They were seasoned with white...

The next time you're craving fish and chips in Santa Barbara and you manage to convince yourself that you ought to be able to get decent fish and chips at a fake Irish pub, think again my friend!...

Dargans is a try if you have a hankering for some Irish pub food. It's pretty standard bar menu, if not a bit more ecclectic than BJs at least. I didn't think the food was bad, but it also wasn't...

So, I'm strolling downtown at 11am on a Wednesday, and I'm getting the sinking feeling that most of the restaurants don't open until 11:30. By 11:15, my stomach decides, screw those snooty places,...

Dargan's Ventura is a great place to hang out. It's owned by the same guys that own the one is Santa Barbara. We are long time patrons of the SB location, but now I think I prefer the Ventura location.

Who doesn't like an Irish Pub? This is the best place in town to go for a Guinness. The food is ok, it's nothing to write home about. It seems a little too institutional for me. (The mashed potatoes came piped...

Much like Ventura, Dargan's is overrated, bland and overpriced and going there earns you frustration and attitude.

I still don't get why people go here. Atmosphere is not great at all. Layout doesn't flow which can make it hard to walk around when it's crowded. Entrance area is weird. Service was maybe ok at best?
