A great spot nestled between a taco shop and laundromat.

Quick drinks and heavy pours.

I used to drop in here with coworkers during breaks lol. Don't tell anyone!

Remember to tip well.

It’s a dive. Still cash only. Best part is doing laundry next door.

Pinball is confusing, Nikki was awesome and they served us fresh fruit. 10/10 would recommend if you are looking for an hour to kill while your AirBNB is being cleaned.

A real bar, with real people. Prices from five years ago. The bartender we met, Tyler, is an absolute professional.

Cherrybomb puts the d in mediocre. I don’t get it. It’s shabby, tiny, and dark, and the bartenders are just OK. Who cares if the bartenders add an extra count of cheap booze to your drink? There are two liquor stores across the street, and it’s probably more pleasant to brown-bag it on a bench somewhere. That’s my choice, at any rate. And I grew up listening to the Sex Pistols, the Clash, etc. Meh.

Not much I need to say. cherry bomb has been around longer than I have and it’s always been the place in the neighborhood for a cold drink. I’ve always felt welcome

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.

Diego is dope. But the also the worst gives the best recommendations too. Gives amazing service that makes you want to support local businesses and go broke. Kidding. Give this place your business.

Cash only dive bar with rock and roll theme in Banker's Hill neighborhood. Right under the San Diego airport flight path, so you will see and hear some planes flying very low over the roof of the bar. Great bar to have in the neighborhood.

I was told years ago to check this spot out and put it off; glad I finally made it in. Definitely exactly what you want out of a dive bar. Heavy pours, pool sharks, and a legit jukebox with all the punk favorites.

Their patrons smoke tobacco and weed right at the entrance where the people washing clothes next door have to put up with.
