reat drinks and chips, average food.The margaritas at this spot are fantastic--perfectly tart, strong, and served with a great salted rim. They also bring out warm, thin, and exceptionally crispy tortilla chips with a really flavorful house salsa right when you sit down. read more

This spot is absolutely amazing. Super cool chill vibes. Andre and Jasmine really make you feel at home. Food is great, drinks are good and really affordable. The service is good and friendly. Really makes you feel at home and safe. read more

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and instantly loved the total dive bar vibe. The service was top notch, and the bartender, Toy (hope I'm spelling that right), was incredibly sweet and friendly. Even the regulars made us feel welcome. Our only complaint is that we wish it was a little closer to home! read more

Love it here! Everyone is super welcoming and nice and the drinks are great! They have a good little selection of food too. There's tv's and a jukebox and a pool table and darts pretty cool little bar :) the regulars are great people ! read more

Me and my boyfriend went for football Sunday and as soon as we walked in it was just a friendly vibe. Toi was amazing constantly asking if we needed anything. Will be returning if we're ever in the area. read more

See all

Was just there tonight for one drink to celebrate a birthday. The young bartender seemed all tweeked out on drugs. Next you you know someone says we all had to leave. Don't recommend this rude place for any celebration!! read more

Ok where do I start with this bar... excellent karaoke, good bartender Rachel... but... please whoever owns this bar, turn the lights down for karaoke!! Nobody wants to go to a bar with bright lights & sweating your ass off from just sitting down... I had to keep walking outside to get fresh air ! Please turn on the A.C. Or get some good fans... I'm not sure I would return to this bar simply for the fact that I felt like i was in a sauna!! All I wanted at that point was a delicious michelada only to be told by the bartender that there wasn't any mix... wth ... I was able to get past the miche mix but not the hot as hell air & the bright lights which were probably causing more heat!! again awesome kj & karaoke ! But it will probably not get too busy there simply bc of the heat issue & the bright lights!! Please fix this if you want return business!! read more

I have seen Cherps neighborhood bar grow into an awesome great Fontana's version of the Cheers bar. The original owner Mr Cherps died and he left this bar to a woman that was his bartender and best friend for years. She has taken this bar and upgraded it to a new level, and has given it a new face, with a continual upgrading and adding of new beers and drinks. If they have a drink you like they will get it in and have it the next time you come back. The prices are reasonable. There's ample parking, friendly servers. Great place to watch sports with friends with a low stress atmosphere. She has recently added food trucks, with different venues and menus, and is in the process of upgrading her kitchen so she can accommodate different foods choices. We have the opportunity to try a taco stand that was there tonight and the food was very tasty. This is a great place for a date night. read more

Thursday night football. Came here with the boys to catch the game and some beers. No music, no food, smeared AF from the moment we walked in. Tried to give it a fair shake but how does this place stay open?! Save yourself some trouble, go elsewhere. read more

Had the pleasure in visiting not too long ago and I had the best time. My best friend brought me to this bar while she lived in the area and the vibe was so easy going. Bartender was so cool to talk to and she was so gorgeous ! The pool table was my favorite part, the professionals there were very helpful with my terrible hand read more

Cool hangout spot, good music and crowd. The beer could be a bit colder that's why I gave it 3 stars only. It's located in downtown Fontana, they don't serve food but there's a lot of spots near by with good food too. Check it for yourself read more

Ah Cherps. This place is by far one of the trashiest dive bars I have ever been to. This simple fact earns it a special place in my heart. The first time that I was a patron here my friend, Justin, and I parked in the seedy little back alley (he's a regular) and started to walk up to the back door. We were quickly distracted by the smell of roasting meat. Imagine our luck, there was a family BBQing on the back of their truck selling ribs to customers like this was a completely normal thing to do! I went against all rational thought (I was goaded on by my friend) and I purchased small feast for 3 dollars. We bellied up to the bar with our food (they let us eat it there) and ordered some beer. The beer is cheap. The bar was smokey! Although there are "No Smoking" signs clearly posted at various spots in the bar, people light up anyways. The bartender that is usually there when I am, is a no-nonsense woman, who is friendly but wary of shenanigans. She's not about to be taken for a ride! The other patrons are usually lively. Dancing, or some sort of jerky gyrating, usually occurs. It's usually just one maverick-y man, dancing around the bar since there is no official dance floor. But isn't that why we go to dive bars; to laugh at others and feel better about ourselves? I met a guy there once who had been to jail. He invited me to go to the VFW with him. He sang Vanilla Ice and other bad early 90's songs very, very loudly and cursed at anyone who would dare look at him. I heard that the cops came later. Cherps is a serious good time, if you don't mind the cops. read more

Not a good first experience, the staff wasn't courteous, the wait staff lied and said we were misbehaving and the bartender did nothing but glare at our group our whole time there. Save your money read more

It is a great bar, located in downtown area of Fontana! The drinks are quite cheap. Especially, their cocktails are fairly priced. I have been at this establishment, many times. I would come here, after work, and before heading home, to have some drinks with friends. I have good memories of this place. The bartender was quite friendly and helpful, and ambiance was great. The place was clean. Definitely, it is a good bar, and quite a hidden gem. I would visit this bar again, next time, when quarantine is over, and businesses can reopen. read more

Needs new ownership person running the show has no idea what they are doing in any aspect of business or customer service,when personal or nonsense gets in your ability to do business it a recipe for failure, that being said the regulars are freindly read more

Ok the last time I was here was like 3 years ago, I walked in the other night and the place has changed, it is still a dive bar, but the atmosphere has changed. I met the owner Toi the other night and she has made the bar more inviting. The drink prices are fair and they have a decent slection on tap. I think i'll be going here more oftern. Lewis M. read more

Women tending bar friendly, patrons ok. 2 pool tables, 3 t.v. at the bar and 2 projectors at each end. They have no premium beer, just the basics. Beer prices ok. Mix drink prices a little high for this place. Decor all over the place, there is no theme. It seem's what ever the vendor's give them they put up. It look's clean from the bar looking around. Easy to find a seat on a Saturday night. Music volume perfect, I was able to talk to the person next to me. read more

Great bar, and awesome bartenders. They even serve food now. Tried the wings and omg they are amazing. Can't wait for them to open up again! Terri she was the best bartender ever. Not only friendly but fun to chat with. Hands down, This is the best bar in fontana. read more

Ok little Dive, drinks are your reg old drinks nothing really stands out here. But cool little last minute hang

Was looking for a bar to go to we were all from out of town, we had a great time, Dana was a fun and attentive bartender and we will definitely be coming back next time we are in town visiting family. Prices are good and it was exactly the kind of place we were looking for. read more

Best bar in Fontana. Excellent service, awesome TVs with live sports always on big screens. Do not let this small kitchen fool you. Best damn wings in town. Pizza bread is legit too. Toi & her crew run an awesome local establishment. read more

Here Drinking Good time Enjoying my drink It's lit Great price for a big beer I love it ! read more

A nice place to grab a drink. Inexpensive cocktails, good bartenders and you may be able to grab a BBQ plate if you are there at the right time!! The crowd seemed like it was mixed and had quite a few regulars which is always a good sign. If you're taking the metrolink it's a great place (and only a 3-4 minute walk) to grab a drink before you have to catch your train. read more

Cherp's is so awesome! This bar is drama free just the way I like it. I can drink and have a good time without having to worry about fights. Truly my favorite bar!!! All the bartenders are super nice and fun. But Ask for Amanda she is amazing and one of the best bartenders I've been served by, just don't look into her eyes you'll buy all the beer in the bar lol... read more

There are definitely better places to go. Patrons git there own drinks and played with the tip bucket. Bartender was cool. Bartender had the regulars get ice for them. Dive bar definitely. I would not go back. Limited draft selection. Mixed drinks taste like faucet water ice is used screwing up the taste. read more

Best little bar ever. The owner is amazing and I love going to hang out there. The staff is great and the atmosphere is so relaxed. Props to Toi for having a great hangout and props to Terri the best bartender. read more

Really chill place to go to if you want to just grab a beer after work or to just hang out. I wouldn't recommend it as a late night bar to go to but it isn't bad. It gets more people toward the late night time read more

Absolutely loved this little hole in the wall bar...i dont remember the bartenders name but she made me feel right at home ..it was early evening and we bonded almost instantaneously...also being a bartender i was very impressed read more

If I can give a 0 rating I would. I've come here about 3 times years before for karaoke and it was ok...after being invited by friends and my husband's first time here I go sit at the bar and a blonde old employee was sitting next to me and then takes her stuff and what we assumed went to work as she should so my husband sits next to me and she comes back and tell my husband "you stole my seat" so we laughed thinking it was a joke but no she waddles her hand out telling him to move and of course my husband is not gonna be rude so he moves but it did piss us off cuz we are a paying customer and an employee tells my husband to move when there were clearly no signs with her name on it...we aren't regulars so we don't know that you sit there all the time until our friend told us ... regular or not that was very unprofessional, tacky and ghetto telling a customer to move from a bar seat. Never coming here again, someone needs to call John Taffer cuz they were very unprofessional, dirty bar and drunk employees. read more

This was the second attempt to come into this bar to have a good time for the evening but due to my crooked walk which is because I am disabled, the bartender or staff member decided that I am intoxicated(even though I am not). I had only had one drink before I left the hotel to have a good time for the evening. I figured that the previous bartender had simply misjudged my situation the night before which I also only had drank one beer. Which is why I decided to give the place another chance. But unfortunately I was wrong and they misjudged my situation. I am a stroke survivor and have a weak left leg which renders my walk with a limp. If you have a disability I would not recommend this place to come to and try to have a good time with your friends. THEY WILL MISJUDGE YOU, and refuse service to you as they did me. Shame on this staff for not having a more diverse understanding. read more

I got the strangest treatment ever and the owner embarrassed my girlfriend because of it. I went into the bar me and my lady for a couple drinks. Everything was going good decent crowd then the owner shows up and tells me to leave. Then she tells my lady that I have been to this bar being aggressive and fighting all the time. Making me look like a liar since I've only been to that bar twice with her. So now she thinks I'm aggressive and a liar all because the owner confused me with someone. Not cool. read more

I came in for a drink with my service dog. I have all the paperwork and ID for my dog. I was told no dogs are allowed, not even service dogs and asked to leave. The woman said she was the bar owner. Im never going back, I felt discriminated agenst as a disabled person. The place was recommended to me by my father in law, it was my first and last time going there! read more

The stench of this place is unbearable. We walked in and right back out.

This place blows balls...we were having a good time until they sold me a drink 1 minute before last call and then threatened to snatched it from me if I didn't finish it. The bartender came around the bar and push my girl to get the glass that was almost full. I tipped her well after every order, I didn't deserve this but no worries, I'll take my money elsewhere. read more

Been to this place once. My friends fly by night bf wanted my husband and I to go have drinks. Felt uneasy being there....we only stayed a very short time..didn't wanna be rude to my friend and her bf. I got a cranberry vodka.there was glass in my drink. They made another one but I didn't even want it for fear of more glass. This place is for serious drunks lol. Not a good casual hang out spot. read more
