50 Best Bars near Bonita

“Great place highly recommended, amazing drinks awesome, come check them out and have a fantastic time“

“Craft Bar Kamon is a speakeasy inside a Japanese bakery. It's on the smaller side with bar seating and maybe 15 tables. Three of us sat on the corner of the bar so we could talk. I'm very glad we sat at the bar as the bartender (Amadeus) was amazing. I would highly recommend sitting at the bar since the bartenders are incredibly knowledgable and fun to talk to. You won't get the same experience at a table. We had 6 different drinks among us so we could experience more of their craft cocktails. The clear winners were the Midnight Train to Shinjuku (a Japanese take on a spicy margarita) and the Lucky Goat (a goat cheese infused gin drink that had only a hint of goat cheese). For food, we had the Honey Koji Buffalo Cauliflower, Mediterranean Harumaki, Ceviche and the A5 Wagyu Surf and Turf Roll. The ceviche was the clear winner. It was excellent but definitely spicy. The harumaki was very good if you like lamb. The cauliflower was good but could have been crispier with more buffalo flavoring. The A5 surf and turf roll was good but it was a tad boring from a flavor perspective. Overall, we really enjoyed Bar Kamon and will definitely go back. It's a fun vibe with amazing bartenders and drinks.“

“Fun atmosphere, fun drinks and great staff!“

“Absolutely amazing atmosphere, 10/10 service, and bomb drinks. What more could you want. Easily one of the best tiki bars period.“

“One of my favorite bars in San Diego! They’ve got pretty much any whiskey you can think of, and the staff makes you feel right at home. Special shoutout to Lee — hands down one of the best bartenders in town.

There’s a fun arcade room, pool tables, and a laid-back outdoor patio with a local food truck. And I almost forgot — they have free popcorn! Solid vibes all around.“

“What a fantastic place! Food was excellent and great proportions, likely the best flatbread I’ve ever had. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend and will return if in the area again.“

“Loved the store with super cute clothes for your female loved ones and bright colors for men but no big and tall. Loved the live music! The manager Ridicchio was hospitable and informative. We didn't have any food so I can't comment. And FYI make sure to check-in up front at mall entrance to start your tab.“

“I had an early dinner with my partner. We had a reserved table on the patio and the weather was perfect. We were warmly greeted by all the staff and made to feel welcome. 0ur waitress/server was so nice and made our evening so special. Several of the staff checked in on as as well and had pleasant conversations. The food/drinks were delicious and very prompt. It was so good we ordered a second serving! The prices were modest and we felt really good about our evening out. I recommend Happy Medium and will be a repeat customer.“

“Hated that my friend who was over fifty was refused to be served bec she forgot her ID. Really guys. I get the need to card ppl but at some point it is more flattering then necessary.“

“Phenomenal food! Great atmosphere, kid friendly!“

“Excellent food and very good service. Everything was delicious and the portions were huge. It was expensive for breakfast, but great for a special occasion.“

“Great all around dining experience.“

“Cigar Bar

I have a cigar bar now! Very comfortable place. Reminded me of a California version of the Hudson Club on Manhattan’s LWS. Very large & beautiful humidor. Probably the best conditioned cigar I’ve smoked. Service was phenomenal and the people there were great. I will definitely be back.

“It was my first time visiting Coin Haus, and I had an amazing time. The atmosphere was fun and full of good vibes. Jose, one of the staff members, was fantastic—he took the time to explain how everything worked and was super friendly throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. I will definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a great time with a welcoming atmosphere!“

“All good dudes hang out at Clem’s.“

“I dig the vibe here. Nice Long Bar, comfy chairs, big tvs, great service and the beer offerings are on point. My wife was also happy with the wine selections. The real Duece Bigelow here is the food, they have some kind of a magic man hiding behind two double doors in the kitchen whippin out delicious burgers and damn near whatever his heart desires. the menu is small but it'll cash your checks all day, everyday!

Go get in your car and drive to this place. NOW! Wager up to the bar and if you don't find yourself lacking, pick a nice comfy chair, a good beer and eat amazing food.“

“My husband was in a business dinner and they walked some of gaslamp afterwards. After they parted ways, he needed to use the bathroom so he ran in the closest restaurant. They said he couldn't use it unless he was a customer. I totally get that but they were packed out so it made no sense.... Either way, he bought a chicken quesadilla to go. He brought it back to the room for me and our sons to have. It tasted good...until my youngest son spit out a piece of plastic he found inside the quesadilla. My Husband called about it the next day bc they were then closed. Their response was "oops sorry" like wth?! They then said "bring it back along with the plastic." No mention of a refund or investigation of how it happened. And by that point, room service had come and took the box of the rest of the food plus no one wanted to fight downtown traffic and pay to park to have them possibly offer us another quesadilla . 🙄 Again the food we did eat, minus the plastic, was good but the service wasn't.“

“Great aloha vibe, cocktail selection and live music. Perfect spot to chill with friends.“

“Definitely some good Negronis and cured meats. I only came in here for the drinks, but loved the vibe of the place and the Negronis were well made and well priced. Some great deals (including their meal deal that has a slider!) and their 3 espresso martini deal for $25.

I’d come back! Would love to try some of their full sandwich options next time.“

“What a great place!! We stumbled across this place when we were out to dinner. The staff is friendly and kind. The owner Deano does all the work with the awesome bands they host on the weekends. From Country to hard rock. We haven’t heard one band we haven’t loved. If your looking for a great bar with great music this is the place. Everyone is welcome in this bar. Great atmosphere and you can even order food and eat while while you listen to fantastic music or play pool and watch sports. This is a true fabulous neighborhood bar. Come And enjoy. Char and Mark Handy“

“Cocktails are great and the kale salad cannot be missed. I've just found on the last few visits the pizzas and patas are very tired though and haven't been changed in so long. Menu needs a little liven up. Wine by the ounce is so good though!“

“They usually have good bands and a dear friend of mine does kareoke there and you meet a lot of nice people there and friends that you know and street tacos are great. The bartenders are all great. Service sometimes is slow but they pack house on werkends so get there early to get a seat i have recommened to get one more bartender on busy nights.“

“Best Sports bar in North Park! Food is fabulous, great drink selection, and they show soccer women’s soccer (with sound!!!)“

“Great place for food, drinks and games. Have a wonderful time.“

“It was an absolute delight. The service was quick and courteous. I had the Taco Platter sampler - the suggestions were spot on. I then got the Cali burrito and Quesadilla to go. Everything was fresh and tasty. Would definitely go there again the next time I have the opportunity.

Vegetarian options: Excellent vegan (plant-based) food.

Dietary restrictions: Non-dairy, vegan, plant-based.“

“🙂👍 Manny's an awesome bartender!“

“I over the drinks, ambiance and location/space. I’ll return again soon.“

“Excellent drinks.. beautiful view…come on down!!“

“This small brewery has become one of San Diego’s craft brewery icon in little over a decade of operation. A must try if you are in San Diego. Good beer selection from IPA to seltzers. They are known for their stouts, peanut chocolate stouts. It sounds crazy at first but when I first tried it little over a decade ago, it was nothing like anything I’ve tried. I’ve been a fan ever since.

Mostly friendly happy attentive staff. Dog friendly is a definite plus around here. Open concept of roll up doors brings the outside inside. Got a game room with pool table and taco stand outside, although it’s a little pricy.
4.4/5 ⭐️“

“Loved the space, the sound, and the people's energy. I look forward to djing and performing there again.“

“Bartenders were great and friendly! Fun place to watch games! Love my girl Jordan!“

“We had our pregame, Puerto Rican Heritage Padre, celebration there yesterday and the staff and food were AMAZING!!!!!! 🇵🇷🇵🇷🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🇵🇷🇵🇷“

“The Whiskey house isn’t just for whiskey! We enjoyed a great brunch outdoors. The cinnamon pancakes are to die for! Great service from Jackie!“

“Excelente cantina en Chuka Vista, 100% Mexicana. Gran atención de Omar.“

“Everything about Fernside is great!“

“Super fun place to celebrate anything!“

“One of the best speakeasy’s I’ve ever been to. Been to several in LA, SF, Vegas, Miami, and NYC and this one compares. So glad that it’s in my city! Speakeasy’s are the way to go! Bravo 👏🏻“

“Fantastic Ramen. It's a must!!“

“the best brewery in the south bay!!! live bands and DJ are epic, you can chill or dance the night away! great options for beers and ciders!

Vegetarian options: ciders available for those who don't drink beer! like me, im vegetarian ✨️“

“Great outdoor space, very roomy, open and good for family/kid time if need be. But not kid like, very shishi if no kids. Big opening from bar to outside area, like a resort should have. The bar inside is gorgeous, super cool, and roomy too. Perfect to stow away or get together with a big group. 6 hour validation parking close to the bar!!!“

“We went here for our last day of school teacher get to get her. It was a nice atmosphere but when we arrived the bar tender was not very happy a bunch of people were showing up. He tried to make us all pay on one bill which was impossible as we had 30+ teacher come and go over a few hours. Other the the bar tender being rude, the place was great“

“Great little tavern in South Park. Nice area, amazing old school vibe. Friendly staff, reasonable drink prices. Good music!“

“Old dive bar! Been goin here for awhile… 25 plus years! Xoxox.. glad they cleaned it up but kept the dive feel“

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience here. Our server (I believe his name was Carter) was exceptional and very accommodating. All the dishes we ordered were delicious and flavorful. They also have a wide array of tasty cocktails to choose from. The only critique I have is the portion size. I don't mind paying a premium and I acknowledge the quality but the value should be commensurate with the cost. Otherwise, we had an excellent experience. Highly recommend.“

“Great little dive bar with awesome live music and reasonably priced drinks. Friendly staff and dedicated owner who has improved the place continually since he bought it.“

“Definitely not a place that gets going all night like a club would but a very cool and quaint spot to grab a drink with a group friends. Pool tables and a variety of drinks on tap. Bartenders are receptive as well. Juke Box is a plus to play music of one’s choice.It’s honestly kind of it’s own place in the middle of everything, but wouldn’t mind staying here for a night and drink the night away. The Elwood is nearby too.“

“🙂👍 Rachel does a great job!“

“Everything about it is fantastic! The beers are delicious and the owners are so welcoming! Thank you for hosting my 29th birthday!!!💕“

“I enjoyed myself ??? The co-owner was awesome as she moved around the crowd and spoke to ppl and seen her help clear tables ? The dj on Friday night was dope, had me dancing ?? The bartender (white dude with long hair ??) he has stellar customer service ?? met friendly people and staff! I like how they have a smoking area where you could still hear the music dead on , but they could have dimmer lights in the smoking section coz it bothered my eyes ???? I didn't get to try the food but I look forward to doing so soon!! Security was on it, great communication skills amongst each other and they paid attention all around; I felt safe.. I don't think anyone would mess with ??. Bathroom was very clean and the long mirror A+ ???. I ordered patron and redbull, I suggest they keep their redbulls chilled since a customer like myself orders the entire can ? price was decent!! I went earlier so parking was great for me but probably not for the late heads ?“

“My husband and I had the absolute pleasure to dine at Juniper and Ivy for our 33 year anniversary. Not only did they have special menus for us, but we had a complete and very special experience start to finish.The staff were so welcoming and knowledgeable. We had what I would consider the best seats in the restaurant. We sat up at the kitchen bar, and were treated to an amazing dinner and “show “ The kitchen crew were so impressive and friendly to each other and us. We had such a great experience, that we canceled reservations at another restaurant on the same block for later in the week, so we could come back and try more. Same amazing experience at the next visit. Highly recommend, when we come back to SD we will prioritize another visit. Thank you so much for such a great experience!“
