32 Best Cocktail Bars near Fontana

“Rachel is always the best, without question. Every time we come in, she greets us with the warmest smile and an energy that instantly makes the whole visit better. She has this incredible way of remembering exactly what we like, and our drinks are always on point — perfectly made, consistent, and delivered with genuine care. It’s rare to find someone who not only does their job well but truly elevates the entire experience just by being themselves.

What stands out most about Rachel is her attention to detail and the pride she takes in her work. She moves with confidence, checks in at the right moments, and somehow manages to stay upbeat even when the place is busy. You can tell she loves what she does, and that passion shows in every interaction. Whether it’s a quick laugh, a friendly conversation, or just the way she makes sure everything is perfect before walking away, she makes you feel valued as a guest.

We always look forward to seeing her because she sets the tone for the whole night. Great drinks are one thing — and she absolutely nails those — but great service with a genuine smile is what keeps us coming back. Rachel is truly a standout, and any place is lucky to have someone like her representing them.“

“This the perfect little dive bar. Not crowded. The times that I’ve been have not been busy. Just a small crowd. You will notice the same people if you go 3 times or more so you know it’s a neighborhood bar that has some loyal customers. Kinda every one knows each other but not every customer is a regular. They have a pool table & darts. My favorite part so far about going there is when there’s a song on the jukebox & everyone knows the words & they’re all singing. Half the time it’s a song I’ve never heard so the song isn’t necessarily a typical “bar” song. And there are some good singers in the mix! I like that when everyone starts singing they’re not bothering anybody. You can’t really do that at Boston’s! Lastly, all the girls (bartenders) are totally sweet, know their stuff, provide great service & are in good happy moods & don’t make you feel like you’re bothering them. And I also have to credit the one gentleman that works there & is there every single night. When it’s close to closing he’s there washing glasses, sweeping floors, pouring the very last drink for someone, cleaning bar top, whatever needs to be done to help the girls close down. And if you still have a few gulps in your glass, he’s not one to rush out you out. He lets you finish it. Then get out! Im sorry that I don’t know what his position is but I’m certain he’s either manager or owner. For me, being a single lady going there alone (not lonely!), I feel very at ease, comfortable & safe. Even when I leave & go to my car. There’s always 4 or 5 of us walking out at the same time.
Excuse the long review but if you can’t tell I RECOMMEND hanging out at Cherp’s. I hardly go to bar bars but this one I like !!!“

“This place was great - I’m kind of a chilaquiles expert and these are some of the best I have had in a long time . I wish there were more places like this serving up delicious food with a nice atmosphere for a reasonable price! Will be coming back for sure !“

“Been here before, brought students on this particular venture. Food was excellent, wait staff attentive (appreciated that we can be bilingual with them), and of course the entertainment was on point. In between the feature was a salsa quartet who played along to pistas, which are beefed-up karaoke tracks. That said, the caliber of musician was fantastic, and super-entertaining. Then we come to the star of the show and the reason for the visit: Mariachi Internacional. Forgetting for a moment they are one of the best mariachi ensembles in the Los Angeles area, their clean, powerful sound was just what we wanted to show our student as far as the balance between quality musicianship and humble humans who genuinely appreciate the audiences who patronize the restaurant. They stayed after their final show and talked to students, posed for photos, and had genuine conversations with them. Thank you PV’s for an outstanding experience!“

“Great food !! Happy Friendly people family environment restaurant“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Palenque Mexican Restaurant! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was excellent.
A special thank you to Christian, who went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. He was friendly, attentive, professional, and genuinely made the experience feel special. It’s clear that he takes pride in his work and truly cares about his guests.
Christian was definitely a highlight of our visit. I would absolutely recommend Palenque to anyone looking for great Mexican food and wonderful service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“My husband and I had dinner here for the first time. Food was amazing but the service was even better. Martin the manager was very friendly. He visited our table a couple of times during our visit to make sure everything was good.. We will definitely be back.“

“Very good drinks, great atmosphere!“

“TLDR: yes, you want to come and eat here. PS crispiest potato fries ever.

We came here during a midday crash of energy and a long stint at the HomeGoods across the street. The heat was dragging us down but Bushfire was the cool spot to be!
Great pricing, amazing food and presentation, special sodas, beers, wines and sangria. This place had everything we needed.

Between us all we ordered the Nashville Chicken Sandwich, Steak Sandwich, Fuego Burger, and regular burger, a beef empanada, and a peaches and cream empanada.

Everything taste wise was a 10/10. The cafe and craft that went into our meals was so worth the small wait. The atmosphere was inviting and immediately starting bringing our energy back as we waiting for our food. The food came and it was silence. It all tasted so amazing we couldn’t stop eating. My only suggestion would be for the sandwiches/burgers to come with a side instead of having to order separately. But, everything else, 10/10. This is worth every penny and every minute spent to have your pallet tingled!“

“Me and my girls had a ball last night at Raquel's. We will be back very soon!“

“Some of the best Mexican food is sold here and I'm not talking about your regular burritos and tacos stuff. They have almost authentic dishes. And I say almost because authentic enchiladas don't have Monterey Jack but queso fresco, but I'm being picky. Worth visiting.“

“We really enjoy coming here however, it can be a little bit slow to get service even if you're sitting at the bar. The drinks are good and the food is more of a hit than a miss. Mini rotates seasonally but as of right now and August I recommend the crab nachos.“

“Excelente food and service“

“Wonderful atmosphere wonderful food gotta go there!“

“Love you Irma!!! You pour a mean drink..“

“Majestic vibes. Lots of comfort seating and large area to dance. Amazing drinks.“

“That's a great place if you wanna hang out and watch the games. was packed by 10:30am on a Sunday morning. My kids enjoyed all the sandwiches drinks whatever came through our table of 20. they're not a breakfast place thats for sure, not many choices. we had a pretty large group and most of our breakfast was cold. the waitress kicked butt, she was really good and very sweet. the guys helping deliver the food not happy looked overwhelmed.. Refills well we had to keep on asking...“

“Stopped into Room 77 and accidentally walked into one of the coolest throwback vibes I’ve seen in a while. They were hosting this burlesque-style, vintage lounge show, complete with performers on aerial hoops and that old-school speakeasy atmosphere. Super unique for the area and honestly such a cool experience.

Drinks were on point too. They had some solid drink specials, good pours, and a great mix of cocktails, beer, and Happy Dad Hard Seltzers. Staff was friendly and fast even though the place was packed for the show.“

“Overall this is a great place, my favorite turned out to be Citrus Roll, and Vegas Roll was quite good too. Service was great. They charge $10 for all-you-can-eat leftovers if you ask them for a box.
Restrooms were clean but the floor was really sticky, I almost lost my flip flops lol“

“Was ‘ Looking for fish & chips! But the seafood mix was 💣“

“came here for the first time last night because I just opened a tow yard close by and the place seemed to be poppin. was a awesome choice. pulled in and the lot had classic cars and low lows parked outside. that was the first sign that it was meant to be. ordered fish tacos and they were bomb! wife ordered flautas for the babies and they had cheese inside. apparently they were amazing also. the salsa bar.... every salsa was very good I had to have all of them. good vibes! was leaving and a guy was walking to patio with a burrito the size of a football no lie! will be a new spot for the family for sure!“

“PV's is the only restaurant that truly appreciates and takes care of its customers. We have spent years trying to find a restaurant that honors reservations and provides truly exceptional service.

The food was absolutely delicious, full of amazing flavor, and the margaritas were outstanding. Our server, Angel, did an exceptional job taking care of us. He always kept our table clean and anticipated our needs before we even had to ask—for example, he already had the dessert menu ready for us when it was time.

The restaurant is very clean, and the restrooms are spotless and smell fresh. After years of searching, we have finally found our favorite restaurant to enjoy a great meal and celebrate our anniversary.

Thank you so much, PV's Prime Grill and Tequila!“

“Delicious food and friendly staff!“

“Great service. Cool place to grab lunch and a beer.“

“Okay, the tacos didn't travel well, primarily due to the shells getting too wet from each others' ingredients, but the fillings were just fine. Would happily eat them on-site, next time. Where this place gets its massive props from me? The ceviche (I had the spicy version), and the amazingly great clam chowder. I mean, I know that chowder is a popular item in Baja, but now I have no reason to travel and find out why. For all I know they opened a can of clam chowder and enhanced it with their own secret blend of herbs and spices, but who cares? It was fantastic.“

“Brought my grandkids here and they loved it.. friendly employees and very courteous.. Awesome food!!!🍤 🍚🍗“

“Live music, the band's performance was great, @Rattlers love the music. Great service.“

“I booked the Agave Room for a surprise party and had the best experience! The event sales manager, Amber, had great recommendations for our event and was so helpful with any questions I had about the space, timeline and logistics, and anything else I could think of. On the day, we had amazing servers, Marissa and Erica, who also helped me with any questions I had while I was setting up. The bartenders, Bianca and John, were so friendly and professional and my family and friends had only good things to say about the food, drinks, and overall service! The event went by smoothly, everyone was having a good time, and I was able to focus on the things I had planned. The Agave Room is separated by curtains from the rest of the restaurant, but felt very private and we were able to have our own music and games without disturbing the rest of the place. I would absolutely recommend booking an event here as it's a beautiful space, the service is amazing, and everyone was so accommodating.“

“Heather the bartender is outstanding“

“First visit today, going back for next month's lunch with a friend. Wish we'd discovered El Patron sooner.“

“Just a great place. The Mission Inn is a treasure“
