The owner is the nicest guy you will ever meet…read more Here are five things I would say I can always count on no matter what day of the week it is: 1. Friendly service. 2. Great number & variety of quality beers on tap. 3. Great music playing. 4. A relaxed atmosphere. 5. Sports on the TV. There are few places on Third Ave that offer this kind of experience. You can play Super Nintendo games, watch the game, or just enjoy being able to have a conversation with your friends while sipping on a cold beer. They have micheladas and wine too. Tip: Grab some Mexican food from Don Pedro's taco shop next door and enjoy it with your beer.

What an awesome bar to go to on third ave. I've came here quite a few times with friends on a night…read moreout and we have enjoyed our time here each time. The Bartenders do a great job at managing a huge crowd. They have great beers and other alcohol drinks. The inside is a little small, but they have a patio to sit at too. There are old style games inside if you want to play with friends. They don't have many options for shots, so we drink their house tequila and that is actually pretty decent. Overall it's an awesome spot to hangout with friends and just have a good time.

My wife and I came here for dinner on a Friday night and had a really solid experience. It wasn't…read moretoo busy, which made for a relaxed atmosphere. The inside has a nice jungle/plant vibe -- warm, inviting decor that feels intentional without being overdone. Service stood out right away. Our waiter was attentive and checked in often without hovering. I ordered the Pupu Platter during happy hour, and it's a smart move if you want variety. It's just enough food for one and gives you a sampling of different menu items. The Korean-style wings had good flavor and just the right level of spice, though I wish they were a little crispier. The sliders were straightforward -- nothing groundbreaking -- but well made and satisfying. Fries came out crispy, which I always appreciate. My wife had the poke nachos, and those were the sleeper hit. I was skeptical about the pico at first, but it actually added depth and balance. The sauce tied everything together nicely. We also ordered a mocktail and one of their signature drinks, and both were well crafted. Overall, a great dinner with good energy, solid execution, and attentive service. A few small tweaks could push it to five stars, but we'd definitely come back.

We visited Lime in the Coconut for the first time to celebrate a birthday, and unfortunately the…read moreexperience was very disappointing. From the start, our server was inattentive and seemed completely dismissive when we mentioned we were celebrating a birthday. There was no acknowledgment at all, which made the occasion feel overlooked. To make matters worse, on a Friday night they were out of all draft beer, which was surprising for a restaurant and bar that promotes its tropical cocktails and lively atmosphere. Dessert was the biggest letdown. The mango sticky rice was honestly one of the worst versions we've ever had--poorly prepared and lacking flavor. The chocolate cake was so dry that it was practically inedible. The tropical décor and hidden tiki speakeasy "X" are interesting concepts, but the poor service and disappointing food overshadowed what should have been a special birthday celebration. We left feeling let down and will not return.

This was our first time at Tender Hooligan, a Japanese-inspired audiophile cafe and bar in downtown…read moreChula Vista, CA. Tender Hooligan has been in business since 2024 and it's known for its unique blend of high-fidelity vinyl listening, specialty coffee, craft beer, and cocktails. The audiophile cafe and bar is located next door to La Pesca Cevicheria on Third Ave. We had a 45 minute wait time for dinner at La Pesca and ordered a few drinks while we waited for table. Tender Hooligan functions as a community hub with a record store, themed spaces, and events like live music and game nights, offering a cozy, eclectic atmosphere for working, socializing, or enjoying music. The menu features unique drinks like the Ube Espresso and Jeepney Latte, alongside food and a selection of soju cocktails. I ordered a beer michelada. It's such a fun hangout check it out!!

Cozy pit stop with sandwiches for $7?! Yes please…read more Food: 5/5 We came in here to check out the vinyls, and when we saw the sandwich for $5.99, we HAD to get one. We got everything in it, and added avocado for $1. The peperoncini was free to add on the side. The sandwich was yum, but for $7, it is the best I've ever eaten. Service: 4.5/5 The person who took our order was so kind, offering us water when we didn't order any drinks and making sure we needed nothing else while we ate. Atmosphere: 4.5/5 It's so so cozy in here! I think it turns into a bar after dark, and the place is the right ambiance for both AM and PM. It was decently packed, and there are games to borrow! I would recommend this place for a casual lunch, a coffee run, or a third-space hang out. Amazing, no notes. Final rating: 4.67/5 (rounding up to 5 on Yelp)

We just came for a Sunday lunch and saw they serve brunch until 2. We were seated, given menus, and…read moretold to order at the bar. There's cool Mexican art on the wall and table was clean and wiped down. There's not too big of a menu and what they have is made really well. The chips and salsa were good. I like how light the chips are. The free salsa had more and better flavor than the red, but both are good. I got El Bàsico burrito and it was like how I used to eat it growing up when my parents would make it for me. I asked for a side of the poblano salsa they use for the chilaquiles and it was so good! It became with a side of plain crema. I left full and happy! My wife got a Quesataco with a side of frijoles and papas. The taco had a lot of meat and was super tasty. They gave you a small side of consume and that didn't disappoint either. The papas didn't have too much flavor but were nice and crispy. The beans were my wife's favorite. They have a slight kick and bomb flavor. I'm glad to have this place in our neighborhood and I look forward to coming back again!

La Patrona. Come for the karaoke. Stay for the unexpected talent!…read more As my girlfriend & I walked the chilly, quiet Sunday night streets of Downtown Chula Vista, as enamored couples do, we came across La Patrona (The Lady Boss to my non-Spanish speaking amigos). "Is...is that people singing," she asks. "Oh, my dear it is," I chimed back. We had been talking about going to karaoke about 2 streets prior. Destiny, like when you wonder why it's never worked before, but now, everything is clear. Right off the bat, this place is as bare bones a bar that you will see. And that's a good thing. I don't mind no flair, but the drinks better be good. And they did not disappoint. The drinks were great. I got the Mexican Candy (think I'll be calling my GF that also) & she had the Skinny Margarita. We thought about food, but were too busy enjoying the semi-pro karaoke performers belt out the ballads. That did not stop us, however,from signing up post haste! My girl can saaaang! The service was stealthy. And we believe we were sitting next to La Patrona herself, which we may have to revisit to make sure. They do have food, but hard to sing with a full belly. All in all, it was a fun unexpected night with my baby, when we would have just been sitting at home watching tv. What better way to spend an evening than crooning words of love to each other, while tossing back some refreshing drinks?! TL:DR - Cozy bar lit dim. Order drinks between singers. Choose partners wisely.

Loved the Japanese Lager at the old storefront (now closed) and it's the same formula here under a different name (I'll still call it Campion). Another advantage of going here is they serve real Pints (16 oz.) and English pints (20 oz.). Most other locations serve their beer in a glass that looks like a pint glass (usually solid and the right height), but it actually only holds 14 ounces or less if they do a hefty head. A must stop on your beer crawl on 3rd Avenue.
