    Mojitos! Mojito clásico de limón (izquierda), mojito de tamarindo (derecha). Deliciosos los dos!
    Dulce R.

    When I found out there was a bar with rock en español, specifically live band, I knew I had to check it out. Mi Barra is a small pretty hidden place across the street from Northgate. This place is a lot smaller than other places with live bands, or other bars in general. If you are planning on going with a big party; anything more than 4 people just know you might have to split up or push some tables together if possible. Nonetheless, the band was awesome! They played many great rock en español hits, and added their own twist to other songs to make them rock, ska, reggae. They interacted with the crowd and pumped everyone up, at one point there were people dancing (although there is no actual dance floor), people hugging and singing together, it was a good time. When looking over their menu, I noticed they have an assortment of mojitos; specifically tamarind mojitos which isn't commonly seen. It. Was. Delicious. Possibly one of the best tamarind drinks I've had, for some reason, many places don't know how to make an alcoholic beverage with this ingredient but Mi Barra definitely got it right. They also have other flavors and other drinks.. Oh.. And beer, if you're into that. Meh. Parking can be grim. There is a small lot assigned to the bar. Security said parking in Northgate across the street was no problem but there is a tow sign saying customers only... Sooooo.. Proceed at your own risk. I will definitely be returning for more tamarind mojitos and a good rock en español live band.

    The owner will have drinks with you Anne an absolute blast!

    Most important detail: THE TEQUILA DOESN'T BURN HERE Forreal. The owner is a super cool dude, his staff welcome everyone personally and attend to you the entire time. I'm talking like come and check in for conversation not just to make money off of you. It is a hole in the wall on the outside and it is low key fancy inside. Everyone is sweet, the music is versatile, the decor is comfortable and reasonable- no need to feel like you are gonna break something important like in the gas lamp and no lingering smell of vomit and mold like in hillcrest. Stop in, you won't be disappointed

    Waiting for our beers so thirsty lol

    0" is a breath of fresh air for someone that's tired of the same old-same same-old and just wants to listen to good Spanish Rock.

    I've been to a lot of concerts since the 70s ; I've seen it all (except Woodstock)…read more ~ Some things that are the same as back in the day : - free dirty, rocky parking lot. - long walk to the front entrance. - no signs in the parking lots to tell you which way to go. - young , semi-clueless parking attendants. - distrusting security. - lonnngggg slow lines leaving the venue. ~ Some things that are worse than back in the day : - regulations: I got carded in The Tailgate (I'm a weather-beaten 63 year old) and they wouldn't accept my drivers license that is officially loaded into my Apple wallet! (even Tsa recognizes this as Id for flights) - - - So beware: if you want to purchase alcohol, bring your physical Id card, or you won't be getting beer from the alcohol nazis. ~ Some things that are better than back in the day : - cleaner : the venue overall is cleaner that most large venues back in the day. - food: believe it or not , some large venues didn't even offer food. - sound: acoustic technology improvements of course. IN A NUTSHELL ... Outside the venue pretty much sucks ; Inside the venue is pretty okay.

    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.
