27 Best Bars in Chula Vista

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

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

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

“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.“

“Jaz at BARESSITO is hands down one of the best bartenders I’ve experienced. From the moment we sat down, her energy was welcoming, confident, and fun — she truly knows how to set the vibe.

She absolutely nailed the Spicy Mamacitta and the El Manjoclaw. Both drinks were perfectly balanced, bold, and flavorful — you can tell she knows her craft and takes pride in every cocktail she makes. The spice level on the Mamacitta was just right, and the El Manjoclaw was smooth with the perfect kick.

Beyond the drinks, her service was top tier. Attentive without hovering, friendly without being over the top — just a genuinely great experience all around. If you’re at BARESSITO, ask for Jaz. She’ll take care of you and then some. 🍸🔥“

“Tap house with friendly and generous owner.
Keeping one of the most Varietal selections in San Diego. From local California and national breweries

“Love the 80s night and the live music“

“Celebrated good friends’ birthdays on Fish and Chips night! Fun times with good food and great friends! 👍🏼😊🌻“

“Texas BBQ Baby Back ribs has been my favorite eversince, followed by Chicken Cajun Pasta. But yes, everything else is as good. And to top it all, I always feel the royalty touch everytime I get my lava cake and having the staffs sing "Happy Biirthday" to me while I blow my candles! Cheers 🎉“

“Fun speakeasy inside the Growlers bar. Limited space so there was a line. We were there on a Friday night during a conference so it was definitely busy. Ended up letting up around 1030pm when we went in. Space was very cool and the ambiance was great! The entrance was fun. The drink presentation was good and the old fashioned itself was made well. So glad we tried it!“

“Used to do shows here when it was over the border. Nice place to hang out. It has a chill vibe, especially on a reggae night. Went for Ruff em' up Posse. One negative is that they make you pay for water, but I know that on a busy night pouring water can slow down bar service. They should have maybe just a large self serve water jug like most clubs have. Otherwise fantastic time back it this South Bay hit spot.“

“Definitely recommend coming here on a Friday night! Great drinks, great vibes and had such a great time! The Banda was amazing, they set a great atmosphere for everyone! Had the pleasure of meeting Kenia, she’s a great bartender and singer 👌🏼 and also Estrella was a great host and very welcoming. If you like banda en vivo, great drinks and looking for a great time, highly recommended 🥳❤️“

“This club is tucked away downtown and I kind of enjoyed it myself. A lot of couples came in, dressed in similar clothes to one another and we’re cutting a rug on the dance floor. Line dancing couples - classics of R&B . The drinks were good. Had a great time.“

“muy agradable lugar.pienso regresar“

“I love it here and love the bartender Jess and Bernie and the djs“

“Went here probably 8x, mostly made the same order and it came out different each time. If a menu says the pizza toppings, you'd expect those toppings or get told if something was out. Nope 1x we literally had a single sliver of green pepper and 2 slivers of onion.... 2x there were no veggies at all. 1x asked for no mushrooms and they put extra. I even showed the owner pictures of the previous pizzas and pictures of the receipts, he said he would fix it. The next visit was the correct pizza and decent portion of chicken. The following visits were back to the same missing veggies and such.🤷🏼‍♂️ The consistency here is just horrible. Some times the pizza is cooked perfectly and others it is soggy and cold in the middle. As for the Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, it often has a very very small portion of chicken. 1x it was what I felt a decent portion. If they were more consistently good we'd be back probably weekly. I would say 6 of the 8x we had issues. I don't like sending food back, but also want what I pat for. Some staff are very friendly and do an excellent job, checking in just enough. However some employees seem they hate their job and we have to ask 2 to 3x for more water or ranch. I was excited to have found a new place, but sadly the overall quality is just a coin flip. For the price it isn't worth the hassle. And our visits have never been during a busy time. I won't accept anything to return, I have it enough chances. Also don't believe their 5 star reviews as they offer you a free desert in exchange for a 5 star review.“

“Awesome staff and delicious options, plenty to choose from. I recommend the Go Go Godzilla or the Abre La Boca Mucho Roll. After six years, it's my number one place for Japanese style food.“

“ILYANA,(LOUD-AH/LAO-RA) , Brigitte , Zach, Monse , Liliana , Sunmer and Maddie are amazing people! Food runners are fast and always friendly ….
The bar made me feel so welcomed that I accidentally instantly became a regular
The girls in the front are always smiling and greeting , the bar always makes exactly what I want …. Food has never disappointed … Thank you Yardhouse employees for an amazing experience ….
Highly recommended (again and again)“

“This place is very inviting for any occasion. The food & drinks are absolutely delicious! I enjoy coming here for “Happy Hour” as well with friends. I also like the excellent customer service and music played at this restaurant. I truly recommend La Quinta Bar & Grill to anyone looking for an enjoyable day.“

“I enjoy eating at Chilis. Everything is fresh even my Togo orders.“

“Great food and service too“
