“I am a bit biased because I work for the Chico Club. I must say as time goes by I find myself more and more drawn into this place. It is a diverse crowd of neighborhood people out looking to have a drink and socialize. Not a real busy place which makes it easy to get a seat at the bar or a pool table to shoot pool with a friend or someone you just met. In the 6 months I have worked there I have seen a major increase in returning old and new patrons. I believe if you are in the mood for a drink or socializing with some of your La Mesa neighbors give The Chico a chance I promise you won't be let down.“

“Cocktails are great and the kale salad cannot be missed. I've just found on the last few visits the pizzas and patas are very tired though and haven't been changed in so long. Menu needs a little liven up. Wine by the ounce is so good though!“
“Depending on the day you will see some seedy characters. People of the streets often frequent this bar. But it is a neighborhood bar and the drinks are inexpensive and have a decent amount of alcohol in them. It is worth it to stop by and have a drink or two after a hard day.“
“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.“

“Halloween night at this place was nothing short of amazing. My friend and I decided we wanted to go out, aiming to stay close to home and within walking distance. Surprisingly, despite living just a few blocks away for years, it was our first time visiting. Early in the night, we both wondered how we hadn’t discovered this spot sooner. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, while still fitting the vibe of a great dive bar, setting the perfect tone for the evening.
One of the highlights was Carol, our bartender for the night. She was fantastic—an absolute gem. Her attentiveness and dedication to making sure we had a great experience truly went above and beyond. Carol took the time to check on us frequently, making sure our drinks were perfect and that we had everything we needed. It was clear she genuinely cared about her patrons’ experiences, and her warm and friendly approach added so much to our night.
We couldn’t have asked for a better Halloween outing. The overall vibe, combined with Carol’s exceptional service, made it a memorable evening. We left wondering how this hidden gem had been right under our noses all these years and feeling excited to return. All in all, a great night was had, and we’re already planning our next visit.“

“Honestly was not expecting to find this kind of vibe in Hillcrest. Free pool tables, great patio, not overcrowded, good selection of divey but not biker gang music at just the right volume to have light conversation, chill patrons, great drink specials, friendly service. Went on a Sunday night and Nico is a great bartender with helpful drink recommendations. I will definitely come back when I'm the area!“

“Always a great place to spend time!! Friendly staff. Always busy and the crowd is ever changing. I describe it as an ocean wave. The crowd washes in and washes out, then a new wave washes in and washes out. So there's always a new vibe.“

“Service was great! There is a newer bartender in there who is not so friendly! Younger chick! But the other ones that have been there a while are excellent! Tacos and burritos were served in the back YUMMY! No pics to show but the new Dirks is nice and chill atmosphere.“
“Im remise to review this place honestly. For others might taint that which makes Cherry Bomb.
What it is not:
It is not a place for cheap drinks.
It is not a place for popular music.
It is not a place for topical conversation.
And I love it for all that it is not.
If you don't get it. Don't bring it. Leave it be. As for me. It's my new secret spot.“
“Great neighborhood bar. I've gone there off and on for 30 years. One pool table. Touch Tunes jukebox, smoking area. Close to restaurants. Only packaged snacks are available. Affordable prices. An intimate and friendly atmosphere. This is a gay bar and welcoming to respectful non-gay clientele as well.“
“Love the 80s night and the live music“

“Better than ever! Grew up in the neighborhood and spent many nights there in the 80's and early 90's.I moved away in 92'. Back for a family reunion of sorts, and had to have a visit. Rosie's was still a great neighborhood hang out. Enjoy!“
“I was only here for a few minutes in the early afternoon, so there wasn't very much excitement happening. But the bartender was incredibly nice and very helpful.
It must be a great place though because when they are busy, they are BUSY!“
“Love Jaime and the chill environment“
“I love it here and love the bartender Jess and Bernie and the djs“
