    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

    The street to papa's & beer

    Papa's & Beer has sure changed over the years..... this place goes on for at least 4 blocks... used to be this little place where every one squeezed in.... The dance floor back then was so sticky from beer & other things......Your shoes stuck to the floor.... Anyway, this big New building is huge & really very nice.... There were 4 different building on 4 different corners that said Papa's & Beer‍ then behind the new building was this beautiful outdoor area on the beach...... Music playing, bar help is on duty, but no spring breakers.... The staff was helpful..

    This place is awesome and one of my go-to spots downtown. It's always crowded, which says a lot…read more There's a front area with the main bar and tables where you can hang out, then a back area with a DJ and tables you can reserve for the night. The music is always great. Shoutout to Jason behind the bar. He's consistently friendly and makes the night even better. Honestly, the whole staff does a great job. If you're going with a group, I'd recommend getting a table since it can get really busy. On weekends they have a cover, and it's cash only. There's an ATM inside. Also, pay attention to the dress code. No baseball hats, and they do enforce it. Overall, it's a solid spot for a night out.

    Overall a nice nightclub and bar to hang out in downtown San Diego. It's right across the street…read morefrom the ACE parking lot called "Park It On Market" so easy parking. Parking is $10 after 6pm until 3am. The ambiance is modern and sexy. The front part of the venue is a bar with several tables and love seats spread throughout. There's also a small outdoor area with a few tables and bar stools if you need some fresh air. Behind the bar is the actual night club area with the DJ booth, several VIP tables, and a smaller bar. There isn't a dedicated dance floor so people are just dancing wherever there's space. You can get on the guest list through their website for free bar/club entry before 10pm. After 10pm, there is a cover fee of $20 per person. It was quiet around 930pm when we arrived but it got pretty busy by 1030pm and crowded by 1130pm. Note: the back night club area opens at 11pm. If you come before then, only the front bar area is open. They apparently serve food as well but we didn't try it this time. I felt service was great from the bartenders to security to the servers. The DJ was playing awesome hip hop music which was perfect for the vibe. They even have a professional photographer who takes your photo. If you like it, it's $20 for your picture in a frame. Two things that can make it even better: - wish there was a bigger dance floor for those without tables to enjoy the music and dance - wish there was more than 2 bathroom stalls in the women's restroom. With hundreds of people inside, the line can get pretty long.
