41 Best Cocktail Bars near Fontana

“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 !!!“

“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 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“

“We came in from out of town today and iris did an amazing job taking care of us! Before she even knew we were celebrating my birthday she was already going out of her way to chat with us, double check they could make the drink I ordered, and make sure we were enjoying ourselves. And *then* she pulled up with the most delicious birthday desert it was so sweet and really made my day! Thank you Iris! <3“

“Me and my family always have a great experience here! Food is always great and everyone is very welcoming and attentive! It was my birthday so me and my family ate dinner here and it was really good and the desert they brought out to me was really good!“

“Very good drinks, great atmosphere!“

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

“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!“

“They might have the best carne asada steak plate in the city. It had a cheese enchilada on top of it with a scoop of guacamole on the side. It sounds weird but was delicious. Imagine the first crazy person to put Bleu cheese on an American steak; it's like that but not stinky, it's spicy and savory“

“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.“

“Wonderful atmosphere wonderful food gotta go there!“

“Excelente food and service“

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

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

“Don't get the donkey Kong it's the vein of donkey Kong's legacy it's absolutely disgusting, in my opinion if you like barely fried food there you go and the bathroom absolutely stinks but other from that the food is good try not to get donkey Kong okay just get one in the order and don't after okay but the salmon roll was good and my family really like the muscles you should try but if you don't really like fishy food don't get it okay make sure bring somebody that can eat a lot because the rolls are big and I'm warning you don't get the donkey Kong okay“

“This was a pretty chill spot. It was pretty quiet except for one very loud table. We all enjoyed our drinks. The serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails. They do not serve wine nor do they have food. The bizcochito did come with a cookie.“

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

“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...“

“Delicious food and friendly staff!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“if you are in the riverside area near the magnolia center and in the mood for sushi 🍣, you got to give this place a try. the food is fantastic and the drinks, wow! prices are fair, beer is cold, service is very good and lots of choices on menu. they got karaoke on Fridays atv6 and it's just a cool hole in the wall.“

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

“Heather the bartender is outstanding“

“Nothing compares to the food and service at Brio! My Son and I always leave with full tummies, leftovers and a big smile!“

“We went for Fathers Day so of course it was busy and a bit loud but no big deal! Our reservations were honored on time and staff was very accommodating as they allowed us additional time to eat our meals before bowling. Makes for cleaner bowling balls!“

“Great location for a bar. The staff is very friendly, approachable and patient. This was my first time ordering from this bar. They have a huge selection of mixed drinks and cocktails. A large assortment of flavorful IPAs and Ciders. They also handpicke flavors for their signature Mezcal straight from the distillery in Michoacàn, Mexico. They are kind to give you samples before you order a drink. I sampled the Ogopogo and it was very refreshing and citrus enriched flavor.The drink I order was the "spicy dead lady". This was a very delicious mezcal mixed drink. Smooth and refreshing with a delicious mixed of flavors. The portions are generous and the spicy bitters is definitely a zinger once it touches your taste buds. Overall a great drink to enjoy on a beautiful sunny day.“

“My family and I have been here on several occasions every time the food has been phenomenal. Well plated, good quality and fresh. The service was attentive and polite, we even had the manager come check on us. The ambience is exceptional and perfect for special occasions ( we took my mom for her bday she was super happy) after dinner we went to the rooftop and listened to music and had a couple of well made drinks. It’s a fun place to hang out and was a perfect ending to the night. Highly recommend for a nice night out. One thing I will say is Definitely make a reservation!“

“Good food and good experience. We had beef ribs, brisket and chicken breast along with Brussel sprouts, cornbread and Mac.

Food was real, freshly made and tasty.

Favs were the brisket, Brussel sprouts and cornbread.

The Mac and chicken breast were least favs but just for preferential reasons. The Mac was very soupy/creamy. The chicken was the thin cut breasts, which are easy to overcook.

Service got 4 stars instead of 5 because they were not clear regarding splitting the bill so the end of our visit was a little confusing. They also forgot a couple of items but we understood that being a larger party, makes remembering everything a bit challenging. Overall, staff were kind and attentive enough during our visit.

We would visit again.“

“Amazing food! Amazing drinks! And am axing service from Alma! Definitely recommend coming here!“

“Beautiful restaurant, waiters are well organized and generous. We had sushi and seafood soup both were delicious . DEFINITELY GOING BACK AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TRY IT !!“
