50 Best Bars near Bonita

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

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

“In town for the weekend and came across this speakeasy! Love that it was a true speakeasy with a hidden entrance. The hostess was super friendly and was able to seat us at the bar within just a few minutes (we didn’t have a reservation). It was a little snug and it took one of the two bartenders some time to acknowledge us and take our orders both times so I’m giving 4 out of 5 stars for these reasons. The hostess really set the bar because she was so nice but the bartenders were just too busy. However the drinks were worth the wait! Great price point and even better taste. We got the pandan and banana cocktails. Will definitely visit when in town and try the food next time, plus more yummy drinks!“

“My partner and I were so excited when this place open. I think we heard that it was coming to San Diego at least 6:00 to 8 months before it actually arrived. To have a non-alcoholic bar in San Diego is such a wonderful thing and I hope that people choose to follow suit. The inspiration behind this establishment is wonderful, and their intentions to bring sober and mentally helpful cocktails to San Diego is beautiful. I highly recommend looking them up, reading what they're about on their website and giving them a visit. They have a wide variety of adaptogenic cocktails, CBD cocktails, and standard non-alcoholic cocktails that are still quite imaginative. There are also open during the day with entirely different menus etc. I still have not managed to make it down from Encinitas to go there in the morning but we plan to. We have been several times at night at it is one of our favorite hangouts. Being able to go to a bar without drunk people stumbling around making lots of noise and messes is a wonderful thing. As someone who got sober myself a little while back, it is utterly refreshing to see other people dedicated to having you sober evening.“

“Fun atmosphere, fun drinks and great staff!“

“First time here, loved coconut shrimp appetizer, really enjoyed smokehouse burger, and also liked chicken mango salad.\t The Mai Tai was very enjoyable as was the mojito. Service was friendly and timely. For desert had a snickers croffle and that was a miss for us (no crunch and waffle/croissant was very dense and hard to eat).“

“My bestie and I went to Aero Club Bar for the first time last weekend. It had come highly recommended by many of our friends and it absolutely lived up to expectations! This place has a variety of spaces, all with their own unique atmosphere and awesome lighting. Such a variety of games but my favorite area was the patio bar where we met the sweetest Bartender, Megan! She was such a kind soul and mixed us the most incredible cocktails! We will definitely be back to visit the games, drinks and Megan @ Aero Club 💕
PS There is a rubber ducky crane machine and I got me and my friend rubber ducky souvenirs 😆 coolest bar ever!!!“

“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.“

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

“Love this place! A flashback to the 70’s with a light up dancefloor and all. The DJs are top notch both national talent and local favorites. Meet me on the dancefloor 🕺🏽“

“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.“

“The bouncer here was so kind and friendly, he made *my night after the bouncer down at seven grand was pretty rude to me (and I wound up having to pry my id out of his hands after telling him I wouldn’t be coming in- based on How he was treating me over there). I had let my date know I wouldn’t be going in to the first place and said I understood if he didn’t want to go elsewhere, but he came out and we walked down to this bar instead…here, the bouncer had a whole different vibe: he was attentive and watching who was coming in, but he was warm & welcoming. I got an apple martini (yes, I’m a little older but it’s a great drink) and it was so incredibly good and well made. I felt so calm and relaxed in this atmosphere- the bar tender was also very chill and polite. I drove from pretty far but I would definitely come here again. Thank you so much for making my night better after the other bouncer was so rude. Not the best date ever but the drink was amazing
**I live pretty far but plan to come back soon based on how welcoming the employees were and how good the drink was..the bar tender literally made it perfect“

“Absolutely outstanding experience at The Tower Bar! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, stylish, and inviting. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, making sure everything was perfect throughout the visit. The drinks were expertly crafted—balanced, creative, and beautifully presented. The food was just as impressive, with every dish full of flavor and clearly made with care.

What really sets this place apart is the vibe—perfect for relaxing with friends or enjoying a special night out. Everything felt top-notch, from service to ambiance. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

“One of my favorite bars in the city! Great cigars, deals on drinks, and a vibe that’s always chill but never boring. Staff makes you feel at home every time. I even love bringing in my board games here it’s the perfect spot to relax, hang with friends, and just enjoy the night. Easily one of my favorite bars in the city.“

“Retro arcade conveniently located in La Mesa. Don't drink so can't speak to the beer selection but they have a wife variety of taps. If theres a beeryou wanted to try this is a phenomenal opportunity. Played for about 45 min, 2 ppl cost $27 incl good tip. Sundays are free play all day. I'll be back“

“All good dudes hang out at Clem’s.“

“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.“

“Everything about Fernside is great!“

“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.“

“My significant other and I ate here for the first time today. He ordered the fish taco. I guess it was delicious because he didn't even offer me a bite like he usually would when we try new restaurants. Lol. I ordered the 3 taco platter. And yes I had him try all 3 tacos. Oh my gosh! Amazing! Tasty! Atmosphere beautiful! Fast service and the staff was friendly, funny, helpful, and patient. We'll definitely be back!“

“I picked up some ribs and a sandwich for dinner last night and the food was awesome as always. Portions were big enough that I had leftovers. Corbin O'Reilly and Vince always make me feel special!“

“Tried J and Tony's for the first time and had a a lot of fun. Atmosphere is great and the music was lively yet chill.

I got some food that was delicious. They have a surprisingly good breakfast sandwich. The English muffin was lightly toasted with flavorful american cheese and the sausage patty was well seasoned.

Now for the best part of any bar...the drinks. J & Tony's have a very playful drink menu and also some old school classic drinks. I had two negroni cocktails and it was amazing. They tasted great and definitely had a strong kick, so if you like a stiff drink you know where to go.

Service was nice and friendly. Everyone attending us was upbeat and warm. Drinks and food were brought out really fast which was definitely appreciated.

My only regret...I WAS TOO EARLY FOR THE MEATBALLS!

So, in summary, if you're looking for a chill and inviting spot for some drinks and food with your peeps, this is the place to do so.“

“My wife and I stumbled upon Majorette while exploring Rolando Village. It looks like a dive bar, but it has a really good beer selection and great food. I'm a fried chicken sandwich snob, and it doesn't get much better than their fried chicken thigh sando. The only real option for my wife (who is vegetarian) was the grilled cheese sandwich. While it was delicious, it would be nice if they would at least offer an Impossible burger substitute for their smash burger. I also wish they were open for lunch instead of just dinner, but such is life. We will definitely be back soon!“

“Great all around dining experience.“

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

“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“

“Love this spot. Great drinks, great atmosphere, and somehow the windows are always unbelievably clean. I may be a little biased because we clean them, but every time I stop by I’m reminded why glass is supposed to be invisible. 😆

The bourbon selection is awesome, the cocktails are on point, and the staff always make you feel welcome. Whether you’re hanging out inside or enjoying the outdoor seating, it’s just one of those places that’s easy to spend a few hours at.

Come for the drinks, stay for the crystal-clear view through the cleanest windows in town. 🍻🪟😂

Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the area.“

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

“🙂👍 Gonzalo and the entire staff are awesome!“

“Music 4-5 nights a week!“

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

“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!“

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

“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 👏🏻“

“Super fun place to celebrate anything!“

“🙂👍 Rachel does a great job!“

“Phenomenal food! Great atmosphere, kid friendly!“

“Great beer selection awesome vibes and great service“

“Cool Spot! Always an interesting spot to hang out, have a few pops and people watch...“

“🙂👍 Manny's an awesome bartender!“

“local feel type hangout spot but still very cool in ambience/theme. They are known for PB Stout, but i personally do not enjoy it but I know majority does. There other beers are passable. I have had many of there products in cans and I was excited to come and try the taps/draft but just never really got to it.“

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

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

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

“good place to eat and relax“

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

“we hosted our baby shower at longball and it was such a great experience. daniel and caroline were super accommodating and responsive throughout the planning process, and dimitri was our amazing bartender onsite. our friends loved all the beverage offerings, and the simulator had so many game options - great for adults and the kids. definitely recommend hosting events with longball!“

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

“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.“

“Everyone was cool. Beer and margarita were good. It made me wish I lived nearby so I could make this my place.“
