50 Best Sports Bars near Spring Valley

“Your normal local dive bar.Crowd can be a little so so, however tends to not ever be packed.There was always some sort of celebration that would have a potluck, they were always friendly enough to ask you if you wanted to join.We would go for our quite date nights. Round 8 ish to 10 maybe 11. Pool, cheap drinks, interesting people watching and comfy clothes never stood out.“

“Shawn had excellent customer service. He was friendly and checked to make sure I received the best dollar amount for what I ordered. It’s nice when someone takes your order and take time to save you a dollar at the same time. Will be back to visit Shawn again. Also Jario also was very pleasant will come back as long as they’re in the store.“

“There are plenty of tables to choose from, and the venue is clean, spacious, and very nice inside. They charge by the hour, and the rates are fair for what you get. My sister and I had a great time here and really enjoyed the atmosphere. We would definitely come back again.“

“My go to bar, especially when I fly back in to visit. I always stop by and hang out. Simply the best! Love you all!!“

“Came in on a whim around midnight with a few friends after closing my bar. The bartender was very sweet and made us some pretty decent shots. The draft beers were ice cold and priced well. Quite a few people for a week night. We shot some pool and stayed till last call. I hadn’t been there in over 15 years. Completely forgot what a great dive bar it was and has always been. I’ll definitely be coming back more often.“

“Food was delicious and the whole family loved it.
I got stopped at the door for a weird reason but because of it I would give 10 stars. I was asked what I was getting and doing because the gentleman noticed I had my kids with me, he said he couldn't allow me to go to the bar but I could order food. Way to look out for those kids I respect the man and the business just for looking out for the kids good job!!“

“Buenos momentos en el bar…..“

“atmosphere was great server was super friendly had a variety of appetizers all where off the hook definitely will revisit“

“I came here after work on a Friday night. It just so happen to be a Padres vs Dodgers game and this place was packed! I mean, for your regular local bar... it was poppin'!
Everyone had a good, positive vibe watching the game regardless of the rivalry (there was a mix of both fans here) they didn't have the jukebox playing, so it was strictly game time vibes!
But as soon as the game ended, Jaqui, the bartender at the time, turned the music UP!
Jaqui was the ONLY bartender serving the patrons all night! She not only was running around like crazy but she kept such an inviting, friendly smile the whole time! She made sure to keep a conversation going with her guests as well.
While I was here, I didn't hear of any complaints about the service. Jaqui made sure my refreshments 😜 were always full as well. She's by far the best I've seen yet!!
Overall, it's a cool bar to chill at during baseball games or even to have a night cap after work! & with Jaqui as your bartender, you'll leave here on a positive note and I bet you'll be back 😋😉“

“Great food fast and yummy.“

“good food and beer on tap“

“Good food, good service, fair prices!“

“Valentin was our waiter and he is excellent, the best!“

“The salad, burger and pork tacos were great! My youngest son and I love to go their. Nice tropical atmosphere too. Friendly staff“

“My wife and I stumbled upon Majorette while exploring Rolando Village. It looks like a dive bar, but it has a really good beer selection and great food. I'm a fried chicken sandwich snob, and it doesn't get much better than their fried chicken thigh sando. The only real option for my wife (who is vegetarian) was the grilled cheese sandwich. While it was delicious, it would be nice if they would at least offer an Impossible burger substitute for their smash burger. I also wish they were open for lunch instead of just dinner, but such is life. We will definitely be back soon!“

“I like the bean burritos.“

“Great food and beer 🍺 kid friendly ❤️“

“Came in for a late dinner And melisa gave us 5 star customer service Food was hot and he kind hearted self kept checking in making sure everything was good just a friendly vibe and made our evening great everything on point Melisa evening shift Aug 20th 2026.“

“I went to the Full Circle Saloon and they played this degrading song that said “A lap dance is better when the stripper is crying. Well I find it quite a thrill when she grinds me against her will.” More lyrics from this song say ” I told Bambi I wanted to skin her….. and wear her face like a mask. I have to admit it was even more of a turn-on when I found out she was doin’ me to buy baby formula.” This is a a song appropriate for serial killers and John’s who rape sex workers who are forced by their situation to work against their will. The bartender was angry and irritated with me when I asked to him to please turn it off. Two other female workers were unconcerned. The Female owner Michelle Bailey said she will not be a song N*** and did not offer to do anything about it. Oh She said there is a guy there that likes to play this song when he plays pool. If people there accept this happening I will vote by not going there.“

“we have been going to this place for years. with that said service was outstanding and the food was great as expected. I had surgery on my Right Knee and still not that comfortable sitting at bench tables. no problem here they sat us at a table with both chairs and bench. Now that is great customer service. They listened and accommodated us for lunch. Thank you Islands for paying attention to detail. we will be back . oh and if you like chicken. Try their Sandpiper. I get it every time .“

“Relaxed atmosphere with live entertainment, reasonably priced drinks and friendly staff“

“Great please to get charged“

“🙂👍 Rihanna does a great job!“

“🙂👍 Gonzalo and the entire staff are awesome!“

“Best Sports bar in North Park! Food is fabulous, great drink selection, and they show soccer women’s soccer (with sound!!!)“

“🙂👍 Jessica does a great job!“

“Very clean inside , all workers inside are very kind. There’s a very kind gentleman that i would say is mid teens named Maddux, he is super kind and helpful. The food is amazing and made with consistency every time . Would give this mexican place a 10 star if i could. Definitely my go to mexican food spot, anyone in the area looking for good mexican food should definitely try this spot out ( it’s life changing).“

“This club is tucked away downtown and I kind of enjoyed it myself. A lot of couples came in, dressed in similar clothes to one another and we’re cutting a rug on the dance floor. Line dancing couples - classics of R&B . The drinks were good. Had a great time.“

“5 out of 5 for stars.... best hidden gem in San Diego“

“Had the best time!! Shout out to Nate for the amazing service! He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Great attitude and top-notch customer service. Thanks for making our experience so enjoyable, we’ll definitely be back!“

“Carlton Oaks is a gorgeous venue with a wonderful staff. Gwen is a cheerful and fun server and my new friend💃…PLUS the food is delicious!“

“This place is most certainly a dive bar in all the best ways. I heard they had amazing fried pickles and it did not disappoint. Probably some of the best fried pickles I’ve ever had. I also order a small nacho to go, I don’t know what they put in their “spicy” cheese but it was so hot I thought my gums were bleeding and I had to abandon the food. It was busy so unless you walked up and stood at the bar it was difficult to get service. They also give you a vibrating tag that lets you know when your food is ready and you have to walk down to collect it. I also heard someone say they do karaoke every day at 7pm. I’d definitely come here again.“

“I enjoyed myself ??? The co-owner was awesome as she moved around the crowd and spoke to ppl and seen her help clear tables ? The dj on Friday night was dope, had me dancing ?? The bartender (white dude with long hair ??) he has stellar customer service ?? met friendly people and staff! I like how they have a smoking area where you could still hear the music dead on , but they could have dimmer lights in the smoking section coz it bothered my eyes ???? I didn't get to try the food but I look forward to doing so soon!! Security was on it, great communication skills amongst each other and they paid attention all around; I felt safe.. I don't think anyone would mess with ??. Bathroom was very clean and the long mirror A+ ???. I ordered patron and redbull, I suggest they keep their redbulls chilled since a customer like myself orders the entire can ? price was decent!! I went earlier so parking was great for me but probably not for the late heads ?“

“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.“

“A local fav! Laidback friendly atmosphere.“

“As a visitor from Mexico on vacation in the San Diego area, I had a great experience at Ojos Locos in Chula Vista. The wings were delicious, full of flavor, and paired perfectly with the ice-cold beer. The atmosphere was fun, energetic, and welcoming throughout my visit. The servers were friendly, attentive, and very attractive, which added to the lively sports-bar experience. If you’re looking for tasty wings, cold beer, good service, and a fun environment, this is definitely a place worth visiting.“

“Absolutely amazing food and drinks at great prices. Never disappointed.“

“Great food and family friendly“

“The first time I visited the taco shop. I ordered the ground beef roll tacos, it was an option for small ones or big ones I order big ones and they were delicious. Taco shops rarely sell a ground beef roll taco. The service was pleasent and the food is a good price. I will be returning soon.“

“good food and beer on tap“

“Was ORIGINALLY disappointed because they didn't serve liquor. HOWEVER, they do have wine and 'sporty bombs', which were actually pretty tasty (shot of sake and cider). Otherwise, have domestics on draft plus a few IPA varieties (Elysian 'Spacedust' and Sculpin in bottle). The two pool tables are clean ($.75/game) and even. Although the place puts 'dive' in dive bar, the atmosphere was pretty cool! Good conversation with the other patrons there and the jukebox selection was a good variety. Look... it is not your typical downtown or PB location, but since I only live“

“Great appetizer and drink selection. Recommend: Salmon Rillettes, Parmesan/Garlic Truffle Fries, Olives and Almonds, and the Cheese plate. We were there over a holiday weekend (and during World Cup games) - so it seemed like they were short-staffed, but that might be different on 'normal' weekends.“

“Good people and great location. The owner is great . Definitely recommended“

“two times coming to Main Tap Tavern, and i’m loving the vibes it gives. It’s a great place to come too when unwinding after long day at work. I enjoyed the selection of drinks and also the customer service from the bar tender named Hector. He’s a really nice guy who’s attentive and goes above and beyond for customers to have a great experience. I will keep coming back for sure.“

“Great local spot for beer and wine lovers The atmosphere is always welcoming, and it's become one of mny favorite places to relax and grab a drink. I've been coming here for quite a while, and it never disappoints. Arturo is a great guy who realy helps make the place feel friendly and inviting There's usually something fun going on, which keeps the vibe lively, and there are also some really good local food spots nearby, so it's perfect for hanging out and exploring the area a bit after your drink.“

“Such a good experience at our local Applebees. I loved the touch of having local sports teams displayed. We were tended the perfect amount. Cheyanne our server was wonderful. She was so helpful and patient as our children decided what they wanted. So grateful for the experience and it was a win to not cook dinner tonight. Thank you!!“

“John our server was the most attentive server I’ve had in a while. He made sure our appetizers were served first before the main entree. Unfortunately they didn’t have the passion fruit lemonade I liked but he went above and beyond to double check if they had it and offered an alternative. Corey and Meghan were also attentive & made sure to check up on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be back & hopefully John can be our server again!“

“I love ❤️ to go there because I have so much fun every time i am there Either alone or with my friends from work 🙌🙌and karaoke 🎤 night is awesome and going to dance with the cubano band is great 😊 🥰🥰🥰“

“I recommend however I feel that guests must temper their expectations for the emo nite experience. The indoor bar is over packed and the outdoor patio does not have sufficient sound. The bartenders were attentive and pleasant. The bathroom had toilet paper and soap.“

“Its a dive bar. Not terrible, but very dive bar ish. I've seen a band there, the place is small and can feel a little crowded. But it was fun. Also very loud. But again, fun. Bartender was very busy, so not very fast, but she was very nice. Busy is not her fault. Maybe additional help during blush nights?
IDK. Im just one person. It was fine. Not great or amazing, but fun and fine.“
