Chula Vista Brewery - Chula Vista (CA)

5 /5 Hans Foto: Awesome brewery with tons of seating. Its a great spot to hang out with friends and have a well-made beer. The tasting room is very open and inviting. There are TVs where you can catch a game. There is indoor and outdoor seating. If you walk to the back, you can see the brew house, too. The staff was super friendly. This place is a must stop if you are hanging out in the area. Street parking is limited, but more parking is located nearby on the side streets.

4 /5 donny blaze: Nice little brewery. I like the fact that they give military discounts. Its not too big, they do have large tables great for large parties. The beer on tap is well rounded. the only thing missing here is a kitchen. You are allowed to bring outside food in, so thats a bonus. The glassware was clean, and so was the establishment. The beer tender was friendly, all and all this is a nice little joint worth visiting.

1 /5 Roger Sanchez: This place is honestly a joke. The bouncers are unbelievably rude and seem to go out of their way to kill the vibe. They enforce a no dancing policy—even though there’s a DJ playing and the bar literally advertises a dance floor. Make it make sense. The place itself is tiny, dirty, and feels more like an afterthought than an actual brewery or bar. Nothing about it is inviting. Between the attitude at the door and the misleading “dance floor” hype, this place sucks. There are way better spots in Chula Vista than this “brewery”—skip this one.

5 /5 Ray G: Chula Vista Brewery is hands down one of my favorite spots in town! Their beer selection is top-notch, constantly rotating and bringing in fresh new brews. I especially love their Xela IPA, but no matter when you visit, you’re bound to find something unique and delicious on tap. They also serve hard seltzers in flavors like mango and orange, which remind me of a mimosa—or a "beer-mosa," if you will—light, refreshing, and super easy to drink. One of the things that makes this brewery special is the atmosphere. The space is packed with tons of plants, giving it a calm, cozy feel. Plus, being on the west side of Third Avenue, it doesn’t get too much direct sunlight, making it a cool, shady oasis—a perfect place to escape the heat on those warm summer days. They’re always hosting fun events, like Lotería (Mexican bingo), trivia nights, and more. With plenty of TVs, it’s also an awesome spot to catch a game. And if you’re looking for something to keep you entertained, they’ve got classic games like Ms. Pac-Man, Connect Four, and Jenga. They even occasionally spin vinyl records, adding to the laid-back, eclectic vibe. One of the coolest perks they offer is their Mug Club Membership. For a one-time fee, you get your own custom mug and enjoy discounts on beers every time you visit. It’s a great way to feel like part of the community while getting a little extra bang for your buck. What really sets Chula Vista Brewery apart, though, is the customer service. The staff is super friendly, and Paulina, in particular, makes the place feel like home. If she sees me walking down the street, she’ll step outside, say hi, and even give my dog some love—it’s those little personal touches that make this place truly special. They do have a kitchen space, but it’s currently not in use. From what I’ve heard, they’re looking for another business to sublet it, so fingers crossed something tasty moves in soon. If you’re ever in the area, this is definitely a must-visit spot. Whether you’re grabbing a beer, relaxing, or socializing with friends, Chula Vista Brewery is the place to be!

5 /5 Victor Fer: Love this Brewery. Veteran owned. Good people. Oak and Anchor BBQ serving that fire Brisket and extras here. Have tried several of their brews and have to say they are fantastic all around. If you come to Chula Vista Village then make sure to make Chula Vista Brewery a destination.
