Is this the review where I finally lose all credibility? Nah, Yelp reviewers don't have credibility…read moreto begin with. Normally, I just judge the food. Like, when I go to a popular bar, I don't care about the popularity or the vibes. If the food doesn't meet my higher standards, it can't get five stars. Conversely, the customer service could be super rude, but I might give it five stars as long as I love the food. Lol. Which makes this review out of character for me. Or I'm just being a hypocrite. Even when I gave Brigantine five stars, I love their mixed drinks and a lot of their seafood. I'd have no issues with writing another five star review of the food at the Brigantine. Those lobster quesadillas are immaculate. This place on the other hand...... Okay no, that makes it sound bad. It's definitely not bad. The mango habanero wings here had a nice crisp and flavor. The pizza definitely had a cheap crust and cheap ingredients, but the final product still had a decent flavor. Like, it's not going to win any awards, but it'll still taste like heaven when you're consuming alcohol. This is one of the most popular bars in the area. I've floated or driven past it quite a few times already since I currently live in IB, and I've never seen it not slammed. I finally decided to walk in here at like 1400, and the bar was still packed. However, the clientele is mostly locals. And the bar and clientele is of a variety that will affect your mileage. Specifically, there is a ton of active duty or retired U.S. Navy, there is Navy memorabilia all over the walls, and it probably leans conservative pretty hard. So you might feel like an outsider unless you fit one of those categories. That might've been me if I wasn't also in the Navy. Lol The dude on my right immediately told me that the owner is retired Navy. And the somewhat drunk dude on my left started chatting also. And I somehow almost immediately participated in getting an orange Jaeger bomb (which I suggested since the orange Jaeger was directly in my line of sight.) Uuuhh, all that just to say, I mostly use Yelp to look for amazing food. If you're just looking for Michelin star food, I don't think there's anything particularly ground-breaking here. However, the locals do claim that this is one of the most popular bars in San Diego. There are reasons for that, whatever those reasons are, because it definitely doesn't have anything to do with the Yelp average.

My first visit was for open mic comedy. I ordered a patty melt which came with hand cut fries. It…read morewas pretty good, although the onions were described as caramelized but were just lightly grilled. Probably delicious for true onion lovers but I pulled most of them off. The cheesy patty on rye bread was still delicious, and there were more fries than I could eat. Not much of a crowd except for the comics themselves, maybe 10-12 with a very entertaining host in between. All were good but many were hilarious including a first-timer. Fun vibe for sure, I would happily go again. I deducted one star because as a new guest, I asked the bartender if they had any special house cocktails. She seemed to hear the word special and thought I meant cheap. I said not necessarily cheap, but do you have any interesting house cocktails here. She said no, so I ordered something boring. Then I got the food menu which on the back had an entire list of house cocktails. But service overall was excellent.

No Bartender! Friday afternoon about 4:30PM. I have been going to the Scoreboard for over 20…read moreyears now with no previous issues. This particular occasion, myself and another patron sat down at the bar and waited....and waited...and..... Finally I asked the cook if there was a bartender. He told me "no bartender. the bar is closed for an hour". Now wouldnt you think that IF the bar was closed at a Bar and Grill they would maybe close the doors and not let people sit there and wait for somebody that never shows up? Just a thought. I dont know if they changed ownership possibly, but this kind of (lack of) service is not going to fly with the general public. Its a shame. I use to love this place.

I'm a local and admittedly a bit of a bar rat, so Novo Brazil in Imperial Beach has become one of…read moremy regular spots. The location is hard to beat--the views are great, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff consistently makes it a place I enjoy coming back to. Big shoutout to Sam and Isaac. They're always friendly, welcoming, and make you feel like a regular in the best possible way. Great staff can make or break a brewery, and these guys definitely add to the experience. The food has always been solid and satisfying. I also really like the recent addition of chilled mugs--it's a small touch, but definitely a good one. With such a huge beer selection on tap, I've occasionally had a beer that tasted a little skunky or not quite as fresh as expected, but overall there are plenty of good options to choose from. I'd also love to get to know the management team a little better and see them become more visible with the regulars. And one suggestion from a local: bring back some kind of happy hour! A good weekday happy hour would make Novo an even better neighborhood hangout. Overall, I'm a fan. Great people, great views, solid food, lots of beer choices, and a place that genuinely feels welcoming. I'll definitely keep coming back.

Professional, friendly, attentive; promote and and give raises immediately The food is very good quality and delicious on top of that! Environment is very relaxed with a great outside area as a solid bonus. I've not had all of them but, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that every single tap provides a delicious drinking experience. I said, "Surprise me with anything" and Mario stepped up to give me his Michelada Style drink (in one of the pictures - the short glass with the Tajin on it- super tasty!) My only thing is that they have an item on the menu name Barramundi without an explanation that simply means Asian sea bass.. Next time I come here that is absolutely what I am going to order.

When we are in the area again will definitely have to stop by and try something else on the menu.

The first time I visited CV Sports Bar was during basketball season and I was watching a Lakers…read moregame. I do remember buying a pitcher of Amber Bock for $10 and it was a big pitcher. So, my first visit was a cool experience with a few laid back people watching the game. After I left, I decided I would come back again to watch a game sometime. Currently, I visited this place again a few Thursday's ago(I think it was Thanksgiving, lol) to pregame it before I headed to Diamond Jim's. Why? Because Diamond Jim's only accepts cash only and the CV Sports Bar is just a few blocks down and they do take cards. A $10 dollar minimum is not bad at all because I've been to other places where you have to have a $20 minimum. I ordered a pitcher of Fat Tire for $12, which I didn't mind paying at all because its a well reasonable price for the size of their pitcher. The two guy bartenders were OK. They just seamed they didn't give a shit about their customers. I don't expect them to go beyond customer service expectation but show some character and be more helpful, especially if its a small bar with less than twenty people. Surprisingly, there was quit a few good looking girls but most of them had company already. But, its nice to know there's pretty girls that go there, Right? No guy wants a sausage fest. It's a chill bar to pre-game it or go with a few friends and watch a game. Reading these reviews below mine, I will have to watch my next UFC match at CV Sports Bar to see if its cool.

This is located across the street from the new Northgate store in Chula Vista. It is a sports bar…read moreonly when a big boxing/UFC/Football/Soccer match is on, all other times this is a dive with some weird regulars. For me, this is the default spot to watch UFC fights when I don't want to go downtown. In this capacity this place is awesome. There are 4 HD falt screens in the place as well as 2-3 more regular TV's. All those TV's in a really small place means you will always have a spot with a good view of the action. Not a big selection of beers but what they do have is cheap. Service is somewhat lacking but I think its because they aren't used to the big crowds when a fight/event is going on. While food isn't on the menu, they do have a crock pot with melted cheese and chips to make nachos. They have the usual condiments (jalapeno's, onions) and sometimes chili. There is also a popcorn machine that they charge for (they don't charge for the nachos though???). There is a pool table that looks serviceable and a jukebox (they don't allow it during fights). They also have a stereo system that they can turn on if they want. Parking can be a hassle, as there is a really small lot behind the place. If you get there late you may have to park across the street. Credit Cards are accepted but have a $10 minimum in place.
