This bar used to be cool a few years ago, now it’s just a bunch of angry washed up drunks. Don’t recommend if you’re under the age of 45 and have any sort of cheer to you

I haven't been there. My son was waiting for his Uber outside and was attacked & robbed by 4 guys. They beat him so badly and chased him until he was able to get help from some people who called the cops and an ambulance. This happened this Wednesday morning around 2:30 or 3am after the bar closed. If anyone saw anything or found his belongings or clothes please let the bartender know. He's in bad shape.

Barman Tyler and some locals Gabe and Courtney made me feel welcome. Couple games of pool and some well priced drinks. Great place to check out if you like dive bars and rock music.

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.
