Visited Tender Hooligan with some friends to participate in a Tuesday night Magic the Gathering event and it was well organized with plenty of seating and cards for sale for guests. While it was my first visit they seem to have a lot of events throughout the week along with being a cafe and bar. They have a nice cocktail list, I had the ichigo spritz which was very light and refreshing. They also have pickle beer which they can use to make a pickle michelada, very interesting for sure. Tender Hooligan is a great local bar with plenty of events for locals!

Great place for catching up with friends or getting to know someone. The place is well thought of and has a nice atmosphere. We had coffee d well it didn't disappoint. Will be back when I'm in the area again!

So happy to see Tender Hooligan open again! Popped in for some bevvies and record browsing on their grand re-opening weekend, and the vibes were immaculate. Can't wait to return when the kitchen is open.

Came in the grab a matcha. Atmosphere: The space is very clean and well designed. Lots of areas to sit. The area for matcha was tucked in the back so I was a little confused upon walking in. They have a full bar, dj set up and lots of vinyls. Service: I have greeted on my way in. The barista was friendly. Drink: I ordered a coconut matcha with oat milk. Overall the match was good, it tastes more like banana than coconut to me. Parking: lots of street parking with meters. Def want to come back and check out the bar or when they have a dj on.

So glad I finally got to stop by this place. Came here for some quality time with my friend to work on some new goals so I was pleasantly surprised they had drinks because I had only planned to grab a coffee while we worked. We walked in and the inside is well lit, nicely decorated with vinyls everywhere and so much good music and nice vibe. For drinks we ended up ordering off th4 Soju Cocktail menu. We ordered the Nice Melon, the Good vibrations, the Strawberry Fields and Mangolificent and the Ciry Runs red. The cocktails were all suddenly sweet with good flavors ans honestly not that strong. For food we ordered the Spam Me Right Now, Baby and the Stand Bahn Mi with a side of chips. The chips were a nice touch and having the option to pick them off the counter was pretty nice too. The Spam Me Right Now, Baby had green onions that smells strongly like onions which took me by surprise when we got it. But the spam was a little too sweet for me but the rice was cooked perfectly. The Stand Banh Mi was disappointing honestly.. the chicken had way to much pepper in it ans hardly any other seasoning. The bread was warmed up so it was very soft and not firm like a traditional Bahn me and the pickled veggies inside were okay. It was definitely lacking what a Bahn Mi should be. Honestly, I took two bites and didnt finish it. The restroom is being built or fixed? I'm not sure they said two different things. They directed me to go outside then next door and go up the stairs to another bathroom and when I went to wash my hands, the water didn't not work. There is a motion sensor on the faucet but it was not detecting motion so I wiped the soup off my hands with a paper towel. Overall I think this is a really cool place but I wasnt impressed with the food or drinks at all.

Stopped by this spot cause the vibe here is super dope! from the moment you walk in, down to the restroom decor, everything feels intentional and artsy. This spot is seriously epic! I first came at the beginning of the year when I was on my little coffee tour and ended up chatting with the owners - they're super friendly, down-to-earth, and patient. You can tell they really care about the space and community they've built here. The menu immediately caught my eye - every drink had some creative twist or interesting combo. I went with the Rude Girl since it seemed to be one of their more popular options. Flavor-wise, I wasn't completely in love with the espresso; it had a bit of a burnt note, but honestly, it's not enough to keep me from coming back. The overall vibe, menu variety, and atmosphere definitely make this a spot worth revisiting. They've also got themed events and DJs from time to time, which adds to the whole community feel. It's the kind of place you could grab coffee, food, stay to chill or work for a bit, and maybe even end up staying for an event later. Parking can be hit or miss (typical for the area), but nothing too bad. Prices are pretty standard for craft coffee spots. Overall, Tender Hooligan nails that creative, laid-back Chula Vista energy - and I'm already planning to come back to try more of their menu.

The vibe here is incredible. It popped up on my feed as a new place to pop by, it's about a year old, and it looked dope and it didn't disappoint. Came here on Labor day at 11am. It was already about a quarter of the way packed. Parking could definitely be annoying but not impossible. We lucked out and got one right in front of the building. It doesn't look like much from the outside but then you walk in and the first thing that'll catch your eye is the vinyls all on the back wall. They have different genres you can choose to spin or take home. There is also a DJ booth for what I assume are live sessions here. As my eyes scan over the place, I realized it was also a bar. I thought it was just coffee. They have some seltzers, Japanese lager, IPAs, sake, wine etc. It's definitely Japanese inspired or infused as many of the drink names and undertones on the walls are Japanese inspired. You can also get some food here - rice bowls or sandwiches. Or if you don't want any of that there are teas, lemonade, and soft drinks for you to sip on. But before you leave, make sure you take a photo of the red London phone booths. It was super hot outside, and so between the AC / Fan system they have and the blended drinks we ordered, we cooled off pretty quickly. We ordered the: Rude Girl which has creme de banana syrup, walnut bitters, milk (but we substituted almond milk in), espresso, and was topped with nutmeg powder and whipped cream. I'm not a banana drink person, I rather just eat it. But I could get down with this. I think the almond milk cut the banana taste a lot which was helpful. I wouldn't necessarily buy it again but it was pretty decent. English Beat which has espresso, english toffee syrup, vanilla creme, toffee bits, milk, and more toffee bits sprinkled on top. Again, I'm not a fan of toffee in the least, but this one was fantastic. I was super hesitant but it came out sensational. I never thought I'd lived to see the day that I liked toffee but here we are. Prices were reasonable as well. I think this was by far a gem. I'll have to come back and try their cocktails and beer but I'm loving what I experienced and tasted so far!

Tender Hooligan is a semi-new establishment on 3rd Avenue in downtown Chula Vista. It's a bit of an all-in-one experience, featuring a record store and telephone vinyl listening booth, a cocktail bar, draft beer, a coffee and food menu, couches, and more. The overall aesthetic and branding is super vibey--I love the hanging lantern covers, the black-and-white wallpaper in some sections, the refurbished British phone booths, and the atmosphere. It feels like a laidback remote work spot, a place to chill with friends for a bit, and does a good job of capturing 3rd Avenue's long-standing entrepreneurial spirit. I came here for an event somewhat recently and it was pretty cool. They had lots of vendors, DJs, and live poetry. Plenty of people showed up, making it an interesting artistic event with networking opportunities. I tried the London Fog and it was pretty tasty! I'll need to come back to try other coffee drinks and food. Update: I've been back a couple of times to try different drinks, a food item, and even play a show here. The owners are super hospitable and very friendly people. I always have a great time! I recently tried the matcha lemonade, which I wasn't sure about at first due to the mixture of tang with the grassiness of the matcha--but it grew on me as I sipped. It's actually quite a refreshing pick-me-up drink. The Death Cap for Cutie dish is pretty good too--I liked the marinade on the shiitake mushrooms and the flavor profile when mixed with the jalapeños, green onions, and furikake. It's a great spot!

My husband and I were really excited to try this place, so we went today at 1pm, but it just didn't wow us! The inside was cool, not too big and you can order specialty coffees, beer, wine and some cool mimosas in a can. I only ordered a few drinks..I will say my husband enjoyed the pickle beer Michelada. The process for ordering your items felt a bit cold. You have to wait in line at the back side of the bar for your order to be taken, then you have to go back and wait on the other side for your items to be ready. Not impressed! The DJ who was there was so sporadic and inconsistent with the music he was playing (just being honest!) not sure if this place offers a different vibe on Friday or Saturday, but hope it does :)

Bartenders hiding heads down ignoring customers.

Karina B.

First time here and very likely my last. Bartender guy with face tattoos completely dismisses that they're are patrons needing a drink, acknowledges them but makes them wait for no reason while he sits and talks to other customers like he's at the park. I was there for 2 hours roughly and only was able to get 2 drinks because of the lack of service. It's like he makes customers beg for a drink, he is so rude. if you want to go to a bar and stand for a long time before you are taken care of like your begging for free drinks , come here you'll feel just that !! Management you have a great idea , spot is cool and good menu , but service sucks between your two bartenders being impolite and making the place feel like a dive bar I don't think that's your idea. Hopefully you get your idea right and better your service with better staff !!

I came out to watch my friend DJ and had a chill evening listening to music and people watching. They advertised the music style as "lowrider oldies, soul, old school, and freestyle." Apparently they have this event every other Sunday, and given the crowd turnout, it looks pretty successful. The coffee menu is fun, and they also offer an assortment of tea and lemonade concoctions. I ordered an iced Kingston, which is espresso-based and includes both coconut and almond syrup. I didn't have any alcoholic beverages, but they had an extensive beer menu, as well as wine, sake, and soju. We wanted something a little more substantial for dinner, so instead of trying their rice bowls or sandwiches, we opted to order from the Tavern across the street and brought our food in. The only thing that bumped a star was the state of the bathroom. It's an all-gender bathroom but the urinal was out of order and I shudder thinking about what was all over the floor in front of the toilet. At least the soap and paper towels were stocked!

The matcha is not ceremonial and honestly not good. I ordered the banana matcha and it tastes exactly like yellow Laffy Taffy. The staff also seemed annoyed to be there. no greeting, no acknowledgment, just "what do you want? Not the vibe.

My friend and I love this place. It's so chill, good music, relaxing. The owners are awesome. We go there two or three times a week. Love the place.

Such an AMAZING spot! Came here on a Saturday night at about 830PM and there was a DJ playing some really great music! The bar wasn't packed so we took seats at the bar and ordered drinks. Honestly I can't remember the name of the drink I had I just know it had soju in it and tasted AMAZING!! The crowd started picking up around 9PM, music was bumpy', the vibe was awesome, the bartenders were freaking cool and chill, the crowd was awesome also! It's a great place and I definitely look forward to coming back again!!! read more

I stopped in for an early morning coffee: a cortado. The cortado was good up front with good coffee flavor and was a little bitter towards the end. The place is large and offers not only a full coffee bar, beer & wine, a variety of rice bowls, and old-school vinyl records. They also offer game night and entertainment on certain nights. Check their schedule for happenings. Then, the young lady working the coffee bar and bar was super cool and friendly. read more

I was so happy when I found this place yesterday! Actually I was meeting with a friend that lives in Chula Vista at another coffee shop but it was too small and noisy and we had too much to catch up on. I saw this records store and many people having coffee...so I told my friend hey let's change, this place is way too cool! They serve some food, specialty drinks (I got the Xolo coffee, very good, I just would suggest to use ceramic cups instead of paper ones). My friend and I enjoyed playing with everything, awesome decor, I felt like back in Europe with the London phone cabines, the disco ball with the skeleton and of course the DJ area. I liked all the nice touches and the fact that you can actually meet and talk to people and no one camping forever with the laptops. I could not believe finding a place like this with no laptop campers, just very very minimal. Loved that. Keep it that way. I had fun and caffeine, what else! read more

Vibes were great - I liked how they had records, coffee/tea, and sake/soju. The only thing that put off my entire experience here is the female barista. Apparently she's the owner's wife. She was extremely rude and short with our party. She seemed to favor other people, but for some reason she just didn't treat our party kindly. She's the only reason I'll probably not come back. Take some customer service classes, please. Or hire someone else to interact with the customers. read more

My friend & I stopped by on a Wednesday morning around 11am after the gym because I had been wanting to try this place after seeing people post about it. The place was pretty dead, I'd say maybe about 3 different parties sitting but nobody in line to order. We went up to the register area to order. Nobody greeted us or let us know they'd be with us shortly. We stood around for about 3 minutes and finally the girl at the espresso machine said she'd be right with us. The other guy that was working there was doing something else (not behind the bar). About another 2-4 minutes later the guy came up to the register and said "are you guys ready?" So at that point we began to order. He was NOT FRIENDLY AT ALLLLL. Not once said welcome, hello, thank you, nothing lol. After ordering, we sat at a table by the entrance and waited for our drinks. While we waited a line started to build up. We realized the drinks were taking a long time so we decided to check what time we placed our orders. Long story short we ended up waiting 25 minutes for 2 espresso drinks (at least they were good). So in conclusion, we will not be coming back anytime soon. I understand that this is a new-ish establishment so I'm going to assume they were just understaffed? But hopefully they can get more employees in there (and hopefully friendlier ones) so that the customer service isn't so crappy. Other than that, the place is really cute and vibey and the drinks were good. We had the Kingston and the hooligan. read more

It's really baffling to me to be a new establishment and have owners with zero customer service etiquette. It'll be a real pitty for yall to continue to have your wife run the show when she visibly doesnt treat customers with respect. I wish I could say this place was great based off vibes, but if you treat me disrespectful for no apparent reason, we then have a bigger issue. Being a local of Chula Vista, im always thrilled to try new spots that open in my area. This being one I was excited to experience only to be completely distracted off the bat with zero context. Here's a tip. Treat ppl who come in with respect, maybe it'll take your establishment further. I don't play when it comes to customer service and yall picked the WRONG ONE. read more

I had been genuinely excited to check out Tender Hooligan after hearing great things, but my experience was so upsetting that I left in tears and completely lost my appetite. I arrived a little early before they opened and grabbed a coffee across the street at Mujer Divina while I waited. I was looking forward to supporting both small businesses, assuming this area was about community and uplifting each other. Instead, I was met with hostility just for having a coffee from across the street. I was told I couldn't come inside with a competitor's drink--even though I was planning to order their coffee too, and come back for food once the kitchen opened. The energy was cold and judgmental, and I ended up leaving without even being given the opportunity to order anything. I expected a much warmer, more welcoming vibe--especially from a business in a neighborhood that seems built on collaboration and community care. Sadly, I don't feel comfortable returning if this is how the vibe is. read more

Loved the night vibe of this place. It felt magical and me and my family had an amazing time. We decided to leave around 10:30, and this man who worked there had profiled my black boyfriend, and asked if he was carrying a gun. The last weekend they did the same thing to his black grandmother. I loved this place but both times I have gone, there has been only racist profiling. I will not be coming back here unfortunately. read more

Is this place kid friendly?

Based on my experience, I would say no. I would preferably not take my child there. He's 12 and would probably be bored. I just don't think it's a good idea.

Each reservation cost about $24.00. That includes an hour of time with the cats, and a drink/snack from the café per person. My partner got a chai latte, and I grabbed a brown sugar(?) cinnamon roll. Both were very good! Special thank you to the barista for the recommendation and the delicious drink. The play-room itself was very nice, with plenty of seating, toys, and CATS! Even with six other guests in the same hour, there was plenty of everything to go around. As with any group of animals (and people), each had their own personality and preferences. JC stayed perched on the palm tree and loved to get pet. The older Bengal cat didn't like being touched, but was a joy to watch. Tatiana (pictured on the table) was slow to warm up to us, but loved to play with the cat dancer. There were about ten cats altogether. The employee inside clearly cares about each cat. He explained the rules clearly, shared the names and habits of each kitty, and was a pleasant guide. Thanks for a great start to our afternoon! See you again soon.

Street parking only, very scarce. No obvious signage, look for writing in the window. They have a…read morering type camera door system. Wait outside on the sidewalk (no exterior seating) and someone will come to take you inside. Do not ring the door bell. The theme is to take it slow. Each customer typically waits 20-30 minutes to enter as part of how they do things, even if there is open seating inside. Not sure if they use a timer to space entries but it seems consistent. They take one group in at a time. Interior: A few tables around the wall and then bar seating. Would not recommend for parties greater than 2, there just isn't the space. They welcome service animals, babies/children and strollers from what I observed. The music was very, very loud. It was difficult to hold a conversation. I did not see a bathroom. Ordering process: After seating you wait for a little bit for them to bring small water cups and a QR menu with a table number and a set of rules. They do not have a physical menu, you must use your phone to order. Cell phone reception was dicey and took a long time to load. They have an interesting concept where you have a digital 'tab' open on their toast website. Unfortunately you must provide your full name, email and phone number. They have pour over drinks (note these can take 15-20 minutes), matcha, Hojicha and others. You may only order one drink per person at a time. They have a small snack menu with rotating foods. They use oat milk only. No substitutions allowed. After mobile ordering, drinks take 20-30 minutes as part of their take it slow vibe. Matcha $8 is from Paru tea and was very good. Hojicha $8 was too milky and didn't have a strong enough flavor. When you are done you walk to the register by the door and wait to be checked out. If they are making a drink you wait until they are finished. I wasn't really a fan. Staff were brusque. Music was too loud to converse.

Our instructor,…read moreJaclyn, was awesome and led us through a therapeutic, relaxing session focused on mindfulness, meditation, and encouraged us to be in tune with our bodies and focus on areas of stress and also our own goals. She was very accommodating for all yoga skill levels and kitty engagement. My partner has never done yoga before, and said he could follow her instructions with ease, whereas I, a more experienced yogi (used to practice as a kid), still found the experience engaging even if it was a bit simple for my abilities. I love how she said we could opt not to do the yoga at all and just play with kitties if we wanted! After the session was over, we had some time to play with kitties in the lounge and catio. My partner and I both ordered drinks, and Danielle and Pete made them to perfection! A kitten (Aurora or Nesta) also chose to climb into my partner's lap, which was a highlight of our visit. I highly recommend others to try this unique experience -- a cat cafe that provides restaurant quality food & cocktails along with cute, adoptable kitties and awesome yoga instructors Namaste, Jaclyn, we will definitely be back for more!

Our server Felicia was great. We watched some of the Germany vs Paraguay on a humongous TV wall. We shared a Wagyu burger and Peach cobbler. The burger was so delicious and deeply rich flavor. It also had some truffle oil which was really good. The fries were perfectly made and very crispy. Unfortunately, we ordered medium rare burger but got medium to medium well. The peach cobbler was outstanding with fresh peaches and a strudel topping. There's free 3 hour street parking and $45 garage parking.

We were at the Gaylord for a staycation and decided to have dinner here our second night (went to…read morethe Old Hickory on night one, reviewed separately). Before we even sat down, I asked the hostess to ask the chef about the buns for the burgers. I cannot eat egg and REALLY wanted a burger with a bun. They weren't too busy so she went and asked. Their buns do contain egg but they said they could use sourdough bread for my burger. YAY! :) (yes, I can order a burger wrapped in lettuce but a burger needs a bun so that all of the flavors soak into the bun. It is all a part of the experience) We have been on the hunt for the perfect burger in San Diego (refer to above paragraph, that burger *must* include a bun sans-egg) and we *FINALLY FOUND IT*!!!! We both ordered the Wagyu Beef Burger - medium rare. Mine without onion rings or aioli and sub sourdough bread for their bun. It was everything I wanted it to be and more. First, I love that they asked how we wanted it cooked. Just like the bun, a properly cooked burger is definitely part of the experience. It was juicy and flavorful. It was SOOOO good that I didn't even put condiments on it. Their fries were crispy and tasty, also very good. I am sad to report that I couldn't finish my burger (or my fries). I don't know why we didn't decide to split a burger instead. I think that we were so excited that I could get a burger with a bun that we forgot that my appetite is that of a bird. They have oodles of TVs - just like a sports restaurant should. We were there for the World Cup and NASCAR Race the Base weekend, so got to watch both on giant screens. Our waitress was Felicia. She was very nice and patient with me when I gave her my 'special' burger order, when I apologized she even waved me off and told me that mine isn't the worst order she's ever had (it's comforting to hear even if it wasn't true). My only complaint is the noise level, it wasn't even busy and it was too loud. I cannot imagine how terrible it would be when they're busy. I hate to sound like an older person here, but why don't restaurants plan on noise level? It's not like it's a new concept. Sound dampeners got a long way into helping make the experience more enjoyable. I'm not 'just' there to watch sports, I want to have a conversation with the people at my table. Transportation/Parking Parking - They do offer valet parking and have a parking garage (I believe that both are for a fee, and any validation they do at dinner is not for the entire amount). I believe there was free on-street parking and there's a gravel lot in between the Gaylord & the marina that people were parking in. Trolley - About a 20 minute walk from the Blue Line trolley. It's a straight shot down H Street, and I believe it's sidewalked the entire way. Ferry - There is a ferry from the SD Convention Center to the marina beside the Gaylord. It's $15 one way. At the time, there is no sidewalk connecting the marina to the hotel. It is a short walk and not too busy with traffic. We'll definitely be back! I always feel like I need to apologize for not taking photos, my personal opinion on pictures of food is that they really need to be done by professionals. But, thank you for reading my review!

Tender Hooligan - Chula Vista's New Hangout Spot! While walking around downtown Chula Vista on a chill afternoon during the holiday season, I stumbled across Tender Hooligan, and wow--what a find! It's a mix of coffee shop, bar, restaurant, and record store all rolled into one. I had a quick chat with the barista/bartender (super friendly, by the way), and they told me they've only been open for a few months. This spot is such a cool addition to the area! Growing up here, I remember when this was mostly event spaces, so seeing downtown Chula Vista come up with places like this is amazing. Tender Hooligan brings a vibe that's fresh and creative. I grabbed a couple of IPA beers, flipped through their records, and just enjoyed the mellow vibe. They've got a great vinyl selection, and the music definitely adds to the atmosphere. Plus, they do game nights and dance parties, so I'm already planning to come back and check those out. If I had one tiny critique, it's that the lighting was a little too bright for me--I'm a fan of dim, cozy spaces--but honestly, that's just a personal preference. The overall concept is super cool, and it feels like something Chula Vista's been needing. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area, whether you're in the mood for coffee, drinks, or just hanging out with some good music. I'll be back for sure! read more

I had a very disappointing experience with customer service during my recent visit. One of the employees -- a worker with red hair -- was extremely rude and unprofessional. Instead of being helpful, they had an unfriendly attitude, seemed irritated by simple questions, and made the entire interaction uncomfortable. Customer service should make customers feel welcomed and respected, but unfortunately that was not the case. I hope management addresses this issue, as experiences like this discourage customers from returning. read more
