    Papas n Beer is a hybrid establishment, meaning they are open during the day and function as a restaurant, and at night they have artists throwing events. They are well known for Baja beach fest, spring break kick offs, etc. it is the heart of the party life on the Rosarito strip. It can get crowded because it is not that huge inside, they close down the pool section at night so again, it gets pretty packed. We visited this past Saturday because we wanted to see Cloonee, a DJ artist and I must say he kicked off and set the bar off for first weekend spring break!! I had such a great time overall.

    Happy 18th birthday beautiful

    Ahhh Papas & Beer, the place you come when you turn 18 to get drunk with your friends, well that's we did in the 90's early 2000's. And people still do & man is it different. We recently came with my daughter, she wanted her parents to take her & her friends for her first time. Not only to feel safer but to have her first LEGAL bought drink with her parents, which was cool until I saw how much I spend, she's smart. First thing, do not come before 9pm, ain't nothing going on, come closer to 10 that's when the drinking & some fun starts. Customer service is real good here. Did we have fun, yes, but it's not as fun as it was back in the day. First you'll notice the drinks are really water down especially the tequila when they turn you upside down, which is pricey & $15 for a shot & spin. Still got to do it tho it's fun but be firm & tell them no after one time because they will aggressively do it again & want the money. The food is ok & most drinks were ok. The DJ was good tho but hardly no one dance, most these people were just on their phone, that's sad. I think it's mainly because many were not drunk or buzz enough to get loose & dance because the drinks are water down. The vibe is still good tho & can be fun if you going with a group of friends. Just becareful going into the restrooms I was offered drugs/pills twice, of course I said said no politely & moved on with my life. The night life is not as fun & live as it use to be but during the day in the spring & summer it's pretty cool & more of a good vibe & safer in my opinion. Everyone should still come to Papas & Beer at least once in their life's at night & during the day, it's an experience. Overall it was cool & we had fun with my daughter, next time we'll come day drinking on the beach section during the summer, till than see you soon Papas & get some extra security in those restrooms, Salud :)

    This is a must visit venue during your trip to Baja. It's convenient location is close to many other bars and restaurants. Highly recommend you to order their piña coladas! The service is quick and friendly. They accept all forms of payment but pesos is recommended. Ambiance is upscale beach casual and amazing for big groups.

    This is our first time coming to Papas and Beer to party. We got the weekend pass which was 85 and it came with an open bar from 1-2pm on Saturday. It was fun. We also got food separately, the prices fair and the food is decent. The service was pretty fast. The ambience is fun, it's right infront of the beach so it's a beautiful view.

    Best Bar in Rosarito Period!!! Recommended

    Great service by Roberto highly recommended, the best bar you can visit and club is great too

    It's Monday at 2 PM. Entire restaurant to myself. --Watching college games. --Perfect weather --Enjoying the famous fries. Which is really the way all fries should be prepared. Fresh potatoes with a good seasoning blend. Ranch is terrible. Stick with ketchup. --Mixed drinks taste good and are pretty. Save the calories. Shots are a better run for your pesos. -- Stopped here because I'm supposed to --Cool vibes.

    Ceviche

    This place is huge. Their indoor dining area, furthest away from the beach is very spacious, and if you make your way to the back (closer to the beach) they have a very big outdoor patio, and they also have tables on the sand beachside. We attempted to sit outside but no one ever approached us to take our order, it was getting chilly so we went back to their indoor dining room and quickly got seated. The service got better from there, but they were still kind of slow. We ordered their ceviche, carne Asada fries and aguachiles. Everything was very delicious and we left full. The carne Asada fries came out hot, but didn't pair well with our seafood. The aguachiles had a nice kick to them and the ceviche tasted fresh. Overall the food was better than expected, and the service could definitely use some improvement. I'm not sure if come back next time in town, perhaps maybe to check out the club scene, but honestly I'm getting way too old for all of that.

    Not everything is bad about the place. The atmosphere is very good. The food is very bad, and the portions are very small and cold. The good things are the drinks and the waiters. The cocktails are very tasty, fresh, and have natural fruit flavors. Although the food was bad, the waiter Jose was very attentive to everything. I recommend Edgar Cantina for cocktails. The horrible thing is what several waiters at the club said: they don't receive weekly pay, hence the service charge. It's a shame that the waiters don't get paid for the good service they provide. The waiters and bartenders are very good. The place is very bad for not paying their employees.

    Manzo gave great service !!! Highly recommend drinks were great such a fun place for Coming from az

    Tasteless and nasty wanna be margaritas

    Over priced drinks that taste nasty. No liquor at all!!! Please save your money, view and spot is cool but not worth it. Súper disappointed. This place needs better bartenders

    Great drinks and service

    Exceptional Hosting by Keagan at Side Bar and Gaslamplighter!…read more If you are planning a corporate event, team-bonding outing, or just looking for an unforgettable night out in San Diego, you absolutely need to visit Side Bar and Gaslamplighter. Our team was in town for our quarterly QBR last quarter, and we went out afterward to let loose on the town. We randomly came across Side Bar on a Thursday night and met Keagan, who completely transformed our entire trip. He was the ultimate curator! He immediately assessed our group's vibe, realized we were out for team bonding, and invited us right in, securing a fantastic VIP booth for my team. After a few shots and grooving to great music, he personally ushered us over to Gaslamplighter for a change of scenery, where we spent the rest of the night enjoying amazing drinks and live karaoke. The experience was so incredible that on our second night out, after hopping around various other bars in the Gaslamp Quarter, our team unanimously decided to end our night right back at Side Bar. Once again, Keagan took flawless care of us. He hooked us up with another booth and a few bottles. We happened to be celebrating a team member's birthday that night, and Keagan made it unforgettable. The staff brought out the full VIP treatment with bright sparklers and "Happy Birthday" signs to close out the night in style. What makes Keagan so special is his attention to detail. Even while working a packed club and making his rounds to ensure everyone was taken care of, he constantly circled back to check on our group. He made every single person on our team feel incredibly important and looked after on both nights. We walked away with fantastic pictures, amazing team memories, and a strong desire to return. Shout out to Keagan and the exceptional teams at both Side Bar and Gaslamplighter; memories were truly made! I highly recommend these venues for any group outing in downtown San Diego.
