Here's the Cafe Voltaire's Ban-Dar of Ventura. While in the area, check out one of the hot bands that are in town.

Unfortunately, the Ban-Dar closed down and was demolished in 2002. One of the great mid-century marquees and a treasure of a building, not to mention the club itself, has reached its destination... being bulldozed.
