Been living in Chula Vista for a couple of years and 3 Punk Ales is a staple brewery on 3rd Street. Decent selection of brews, not a huge selection, but if they don't fit your fancy, take a walk down 3rd and you will find something that does.The crew does a good job of keep the vibes right. Honestly, seeing some bad reviews, I can see how this happens. It's a locals place and the vibe can change on who is behind the bar. Definitely seen some "questionable behavior" from the dudes who work there, but not enough to knock them any rating stars.Overall, very happy and a great local place! Cheers!

Won't be coming back here the bartender seemed bothered by us asking for a sample before we purchased a beer. He slammed the samples down and just said these are the samples, leaving us wondering which was which. We would have stayed and had more beers had the bartender been friendlier and more helpful. First time here, and definitely not coming back for more.

Always wanted to check out 3 Punk Ales but never again. I was standing in front of the barkeep when he looked up to get my beer order. Two other dudes he apparently knew walked in behind me, and the barkeep brushed me off and pointed at the guys behind me to get their order first. Way to grow a business. I’ll come back next year when your location is another brewery.

Stop by and say hi to Vern, great service

Unfortunately no Rusian stout nor Tres Animales during my visit. It's a good place to relax and enjoy a beer.

Awesome spot with a Punk Rock theme. The beers and seltzers were amazing. Super clean inside and out.The only issue would be the lack of anything actually “punk” as they were playing hip hop.Yes we will go back next time we are in Chula Vista.

Great beer selection, I've liked most of everything I've tried here. Cool interior atmosphere too

Went to try their beer were met by the rudest server/bartender right on the outside patio. We were with a group of 10 some had gotten drinks from inside the establishment and some got them next door. She came out very aggressively and told us we had to leave did not explain the situation or the policy just that we had drinks from another. Establishment. She had a nasty attitude from the jump. They lost at least $300 in business from our group and I have no desire to go back if that is how their employees treat people. Could have been handled in a way different way.
Came here for the first time when I was visit.. decided to do a brewery hop as there are a couple long the same street. Bartender was cool... she made some good recommendations.. cool vibe... took a beer to go.. they canned it right there in front of us.. pretty cool to see.. thanks guys!

The gentleman working the bar (mustache and long hair) on 9/11/23 at approximately 8:00pm started yelling at me because I moved a chair and sat down. There were only 6 other individuals inside and plenty of seating available. We went back and forth trying to make sense about the chair. He yelled at me saying that those were the rules and that i needed to obey his commands. Shortly after that he grabbed the beer from me. I asked for a refund because my beer was almost full and he denied the refund. I felt the place after that.

When your blonde, ipa, lager and stout all taste the same, and bitter, it's time to go back to the drawing board. I have been to every brewery in San Diego, 174 of them, in the last six years. I waited for them to open for a year and a half and was disappointed when I tried the brewski. Nice vibe though.

I love beer, especially lagers, and thr3e punks has a great dark lager called LA Flama Negra. If you like lagers you should try this one.

Wish I could order their La Flama Negra in every restaurant. Many high quality beers, super friendly staff, lots of obviously frequent visitors - great brewery!
