Was still living in Chula Vista when se that this place was under construction, couldn't wait, especially because of the name. Went once they opened up and loved it. Craft beer drinker of 25 years now, moved back home to L.A. but still go visit when I'm in town. It's my favorite San Diego brewery and that of my childhood friend in L.A. we both go down when we can and enjoy the vibe, the beer, and the service. Great people, beer and ambiance. LOVE 3 Punk Ales! PLEASE play MORE PUNK/ROCK and related genres. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

3 Punk Ales Brewing - signs on a chain link fence - Breweries Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Another fine brewery along 3rd Avenue in Chula Vista. I stop here on occasion before heading to the gym (yes), and sometimes after. I like their beers and their pricing is reasonable. They have mexican lagers, IPAs, stout, and seltzer. Selection is not huge, but it is well crafted. The La Flama Blanca is nice, as well as their occasional dark beers. I steer away from IPAs. Those were what I enjoyed 20 years ago, sadly. No food served here, but there are food options around and usually a food truck. Stop for a beer or two. read more

They make their own hard seltzer! My husband loves IPA but I don't drink beer so it's nice when there's a non beer option. Space is small, selection limited but the beer and seltzer were top notch. read more

Always a solid time here. The energy is always high even on the slower nights. I've been here a few times and have always appreciated the vibes, the community, and of course, the beers. Always something new (or at least I think its new) to try on draft. They only have about 15 beers / ciders on draft at any given moment and the rest are bottled. They brew their own so you'll get some locally owned and sourced beer. Most of all, it's such a super chill spot. Never seen any drama or fights or uprisings. Its dog friendly but it isn't the biggest spot in the world, so while having your fur friends is cool, you'll have to move them constantly so people can get by. No food is served, only chips but there are a bunch of vendors down the street and other restaurants around. Wall art in the place is dope too. read more

I'm in San Diego for just a few days, from PA. Wanted to spend some time at one small brewery and decided on 3 Punk Ales. So glad I did! Beer was fantastic, as was the service, setting and conversation. Will definitely come back next time I am in the area. read more

Ehhh...it's a brewery in Chula Vista. Grungy atmosphere. Sports playing on the TV. Cheap drinks with a funky/skunky aftertaste. Friendly and casual crowd. If you're looking for somewhere to stop by and grab an OK beer, this is the place. read more

Great ambiance, Nice location next to other breweries on the same road. I particularly am fond of their seltzers. On my visit they had a taco food truck, which turned out to be great! read more

Met with coworkers for some happy hour spirits...it was a Thursday afternoon and the place was not crowded at all. I ordered a hard seltzer and my amigos ordered a few beers. There's nothing to it, it is what it is, a brewery, the only gripe I had about the place was I wish they had better seating arrangements, stools and barrels are fine but just not too comfortable, I get it, it's a brewery that's the usual esthetic. Overall the seltzer was good and from what I heard the beer on tap was good also. read more

Nice ambiance and knowledgeable beer tenders, great beer. All ages there including young couples with children. Dog friendly place.

I used to love this place, good music and good beer. Last time I was here months ago they had sports on, no music, today: rap blasting. . And a poor selection of beers. I don't know what happened but I think I may be over this brewery, so sad. read more

Beers on tap selections are very limited. They have hard seltzer and sour. Flavor is good. They don't do flights which is disappointing. Roomy place to hang out with friends but unless I am bored at home, I won't come here much and I'd choose other places over this. It's a good place, just not for me. read more

Amazing Dj / bartender come support the family And everything they do for the community !

Good vibes, great beer, good costumer service and chill music. Favorite local place to grab a beer.

3 Punk Ales has something good brewing. It is a fun setting with a punk rock theme! I really enjoyed their Helter Seltzer Watermelon Mint, served in a glass with chilli powder on the rim. It is spicy, minty and "mellony". If you could bottle Chula Vista vibes, they'd come with a 3 Punks Ales label. Great atmosphere to meet with friends, watch a baseball game (Go Padres!) while drinking your favorite Ale! Albert the bartender was by himself on a busy Tuesday afternoon, but he still managed to be fun, entertaining and provide service to everyone. Food is required to sit and enjoy your drink at the brewery. We were given tickets for food at Don Pedro's Taco Shop, it is 30 steps away. The taco shop lady was not very welcoming when my friends and I used the tickets to redeem our food. Nevertheless we are definitely coming back! read more

Thr3e Punks is a fun and lively brewery with pretty good beer. We visited for the first time this past Friday and were helped by a young, friendly guy behind the bar. He told us about the beers we were curious about and even gave us a small sample of one of them. We were going to get just a few tasters but he suggested a flight instead. I assumed that the flight might be a better deal (often the case at breweries), but it appears that you pay the full price per taster and it doesn't really matter if you get one taster or five. The tasting room smelled strongly of cleaner so we ended up sitting by the open windows so we could get some fresh air even though it was a little chilly. In warmer weather, this would be a fun spot to people watch since it overlooks the main drag. The beers were solid, and I thought the "Needle in the Hey" double IPA was the best one we had. It was citrusy and had tropical fruit notes along with a hoppy flavor profile. We also shared the Oktoberfest, barrel aged Emo Brown, Starlight, and "Putin on the RIS" Russian Imperial Stout. I'm a huge fan of Russian imperial stouts but found their version a little too bitter on the finish for my palate. Prices were typical for a brewery, and I enjoyed the punk theme and music. I also really like that you can bring whatever food and snacks you want to munch on while having a drink. This brewery is also dog friendly -- always a plus in my book. read more

If you enjoy the Punk scene, this place is for you. The wall art is great, the people are relaxed and the beers are fantastic!! I'm a sucker for the sours. These were amazing! Hubby had the other three in the picture and he enjoyed them all as well. One was even like a dessert beer, very thick and malty. This place is very clean which is always nice. I do wish they sold food here BUT if you plan it right, go grab food at the many places around, pick a table and get your beer, wah-lah!! Thank you, Thr3e Punks for a great time! read more

Stopped in last night (Saturday) for a few beers for a friend birthday. There wasn't any food but there were chips for sale. No worries I ate before. The service was quick and very helpful. When we arrived around 9pm the space was still pretty open and you could totally have a conversation. At around 9:30 a band come thru playing songs for money. Honestly the ambiance was great but it made conversations nearly impossible. I ended up leaving around 10 and headed home. I would stop in again just for their seltzers! The grape soda flavor was so yummy! read more

Been dieing to try the breweries in downtown Chula Vista. Two weeks ago, I got that opportunity. The first of three stops was Thr3e Punk Ales. Windowless, the brewery opens out to the street. As you drink a tall pint you can watch people walking by going about their business. They do have a few TV's near the bar area. Nothing like a sport's bar where they are plastered all over the place. This place is more of a chill spot with little if any distractions. A wide open spacious brewery that serves good beer at a fair price. Definitely a nice spot to relax and enjoy a beer. I will be back. Support local businesses especially the good ones. Thr3e Punk Ales is great. read more

This is a gem of a brewery in the South Bay. I typically head north for my brewery fixes (Miramar and North Park) but this one may pull me to stay closer to home. Service during Covid is excellent. Staff was very accommodating and told us to seat in or outdoor. The Watermelon and Strawberry hard seltzer went down easy. You do have to order food here to drink right now which they have a food truck outside. On this day I got a taco that was pretty tasty as well. read more

Nice atmosphere.  Good beer.  Easy to get to with plenty of street parking.  Definitely worth it have beer and relax.  Nice addition to all the other options opening along this street. read more

I had heard of this spot for ages but I rarely visit Chula Vista and I've never been to CV downtown. I finally found myself with free time on my hands and I popped by. This place has big open garage roll up doors letting the outside in. They have a number of beers on tap. My favorite was the RAMONES German pilsner. That was an excellent beer. I tried several others in my flight, all great. The best part may have been the beautiful bartender with her hoop earrings, beautiful blonde hair and kind words and gentle nature...but I digress! Stop in and grab a drink. Support local! read more

Its hot in here during the Day!.... get some industrial fans in there! lots of IPA's on tap if you enjoy bitter beer , apparently good joint for live music , but dont know if ill return outside of that reason. read more

I have been to 3 Punk Ales a few times. This brewpub brews their own beers. They have an excellent selection of different types of beers. The staff are friendly and accommodating. They do not serve food, but allow you to bring in food from other vendors. I like to get Mexican food from Don Pedro's (100 feet away) and enjoy it with a craft beer at 3 Punk Ales. read more

I've been coming to this bar for a while and all the employees and guest are very friendly. It's a great place to be when you want to get out or go out for a drink. Meet friends at the bar or make friends at the bar. If no one is there the bar tenders are always there to serve you drinks and keep you company. Every employee there gives a happy vibe especially the owner but the one person I would like to acknowledge is Chris AKA GLASSES , or Mr. Chris. He made my daughter very welcome and has always taken very good cate of us. I totally recommend this bar to anyone and everyone. If your not so much of a beer drinker the seltzer are always a plus. Visit 3rd Ave 3 Punk it needs to be on your bucket list. Not only for the beer but for the Vibe. Cheers read more

The beer was pretty good. I was expecting to come here and get a full punk rock experience. I did not. I walked in and they were playing ska... then proceeded to play a bunch of late 90s pop punk, and then they turned all the music off to let the padres baseball game audio blast. Wasn't expecting a sports bar. I wanted to have punk rock music blast my face off. This was about as punk as your local mall hot topic. The bartender was Carson Daly serving up a late 90s blink 182 record and telling me it was punk. The beer was good. Quality of beer not in question. I just wanted a punk rock bar, and nothing is less punk rock than turning off the music for the baseball game. read more
