Noticed another comment on here regarding the employees being creepy. Can't say that is true for all, but certainly at least one bouncer. This individual thought it would be okay to put his hands on women and grab them by the waists and when asked about it he said "I work here, I can do whatever I want". Truly disgusting attitude and behavior. When asked to speak with the manager about this horrid behavior, I was told she was not available. Truly shameful... Otherwise, DJ Gene was great! read more

Absolutely cursed vibe. Too well lit, terrible music, and no one there on a Friday night. It was 10pm and there were 2 couples on the dance floor. The music was bad, so I understand why no one wanted to dance. Plenty of seating and pool tables though! read more

Please fire the 40 year old lady DJ. She is horrible!! Doesn't take request and changes music every other second. She literally cleared out the dance floor early and gets upset when anyone request a song. She is sabotaging your club. Hire someone better. If she is there you're better off playing your own Spotify playlist from your personal speaker. read more

TERRIBLE place. The restrooms are disgusting, and the music was not good. Would not recommend. They kicked us out, and grabbed me, leaving a big bruise on my arm. read more

A rat ran across the dance floor, the ice is yellow. I got very ill after visiting it.

Bam show up for Avalon 50 then go to the Chi Chi club to celebrate. I walked in after a long day and got up the stairs and the place was jumping I seen all my friends already sitting down and some dancing, which is amazing after running 50 miles of 50 k I said hello then strolled to the bar for a Guinness, my beer of choice. After settling in a a tequila or 2 later the da nice floor was calling. We had a blast, the music was pumping. People were at the pool tables having a great time. The bar stools where full and then more tequila shots I didn't stay til closing but already planning our next gathering after the race next year. read more

The employees that works there are creepy, I heard them harassing multiple women. I've been here many times, this place is not safe for women. Seems like the only way you have a good time is if you're an islander. Go else where. Also, they're not clean; everything was sticky, their mix drinks tasted bad and there were roaches in the bathroom and I'm assuming all over the place as well. Good thing they don't service food there. read more

This was a fun place to check out after dinner on a Saturday night! It definitely starts picking up around 1130/12. We played a couple games of pool and ordered a couple drinks and had a great time. They made a better Paloma than we had had at lunch earlier that day. The pool table kept getting the balls jammed in them, but the staff was very helpful and came over every time immediately to unlock it. They have a smaller dance floor, but loud music and lights everywhere. read more

Fun night club. Good drinks. Good music (when it's not in Spanish) workers are good too.

This place has so much potential but the music is so main stream. We need more versatility. House music. This music will fill up your club every weekend. Guaranteed. read more

A fun little divey bar and dance club in Catalina! Every now and then there's a DJ here, but I came here on a Sunday night and it was just the jukebox. Still a super fun vibe, relatively cheap drinks, shuffleboard, and a pool table! A fun place for a night out that had a very comfortable number of people on a Sunday night. Played some shuffleboard, stayed for a while. A friend was celebrating their birthday and they had watermelon shots for around $3 or so. I don't drink, so I just simply enjoyed their soda water. No tap water, bottled water only, but they are pretty reasonable in charging only $1 for it. All in all - def a fun place to spend a night out! read more

The men there are CREEPY. I went upstairs and the guys said I can only come in if I took my top off. The men in your bar are disgusting and if you want to feel like you are being stared at (in a bad way), DO NOT go to this club. On top of it all, the bathrooms that I used were DISGUSTINGLY, I saw hygiene products that were incorrectly disposed of, overall I do not recommend this club AT ALL! read more

Honestly not too sure how I feel about this place lol! Part of me is thinking why did I expect so much from the only club on the island and the other part of me wants to give them grace. I think my expectations were set too high, and unfortunately were let down. I went both Friday and Saturday night. The club was empty for the majority of the night, and was packed maybe around 12ish? Even so, the music was all over the place (I felt like they were playing every song on shuffle from a random playlist). They did have some good songs I liked in the mix, but all in all it was a variety of genres lol read more

Chi Chi Club - Bars Near Me - Avalon, California

Super fun place with shuffleboard, pool tables, and a jukebox you can control from your phone. I had a blast playing DJ and watching my friends shoot pool and play shuffleboard, and a few times popped on to the dancefloor. Very clean, well stocked restrooms and the bartender was a delight. We liked the place so much we bought souvenir tee shirts on our way out. SO MUCH FUN. read more

This place was pretty fun! Me and my bf played pool and drank so it was a good time! Just not super busy even on a Friday night

This place is cool! I think it is your only option if you are looking to go out in Avalon, but it's definitely hard to get used to if you go out in LA. The crowd seems a bit older and it's a little empty inside, but still fun nevertheless! read more

Never go on a Thursday! Is dead all the way! Go friday or Saturday! I went on a Friday. It was crowded! Good music. Regueton, salsa, cumbia, no bachata! English etc! Drinks are good not the best but! I really had fun that night. read more

Kind of the bare minimum requirements to call a place a club. DJ was playing some deep cuts one night, pop the next.

Visited Avalon and this place made the night for our Saturday night. The music was great. Loved being able to play pool. Just all around great time. read more

For a Tuesday and Wednesday night, this place was poppin. Its hard to tell how this place is as we visited during the week. Despite the lack of people inside the club, my friend and I had a great time. The place is very spacious. Lots of room to dance. The place has a stage for dancing on or performing. What I enjoyed about the most is that out of all the places in Avalon closes around 9pm, Chi Chi closes at 2am. They also provide free billiards so we took advantage of that as well. One of the nights we visited we saw a group of ladies dancing, drinking and just enjoying themselves. I enjoyed the good vibes Chi Chi brought them and everyone in the establishment. VERDICT: Rinse and repeat read more

Ambiance was a little subdued on the Saturday night that I went. Overall the club was alright, but the inflated prices for canned drinks turned me off of coming back. read more

En Domingo NO vengas el DJ NO se ajusta a lo que quieres oír domingo el DJ NUNCA te va a escuchar y la realidad el solo está en su rollo junto con sus amigos entonces NO regreso a este lugar read more

It was a fun little place. We played pool and the music was good. Would go back here when I'm back in the island.

Maybe the greatest night of my life. Im going to make my first born son chi chi's. 8/10 whisky coke. Don't go kayaking after

We had an absolute blast here. Customer service is like no other. They made sure to reserve our VIP table for both nights ahead of time. Didn't stand in line for a second, which is awesome... they took really good care of us. Can't wait to go back and visit our friends again. read more

Chi Chi Club - Fun night! No corona here babes!! - Bars Near Me - Avalon, California

Avalon is a fantastically laid back and chill place where half the people know each other and the other half wish they did. A land of happy cheer and a helping hand. And then there's Club Chi. One would think that on a Sunday night in December in Avalon that Club Chi, which is supposed to open at 7pm, would be open at, I don't know, 7? A night when there are maybe 10 tourists left in town. But nope. At 9:15pm with only 4 possible customers, they would not open. Literally 4 of us were the only people out on the streets looking for a place to go. As the bartenders prepped ice for the customers that would never come, they said "Not open, come back in 20 minutes" and TURNED OFF THE LIGHTS. Nevermind that I didn't really want to go to a skanky bar in Cabo at spring break anyway, but man they really don't want your business. Head to Marlin Club instead which actually feels like Avalon is home. read more

Such a fun place to dance! The only club on the island that feels like a real dance club!

This place rocks! There's no cover charge and the drinks are solidly priced. Would recommend if you're visiting Avalon and looking for a good time. read more

If I could leave no stars I would. The bartenders were cool and hook up the drinks but the DJ is Bit$@h. She got $20 tip 3 times and we made a request. She never played what we asked for, my husband goes back and asks Again and she responds, "you wanna tell me how to do my job" my husband was polite and kept tipping the damn fool! I go to the manager and complain so the damn ho3 gets in the microphone and tells the club that we're snitches, she points at us her and the other fat one in there too and flips us off! On the way out, we're walking out the door and she comes at me "you want my Picture, I'll pose for you?" All aggressive and walking towards me, my husband pulls me away ugh! Not going to jail and ruining our trip. There's a reason they'll never amount to more than what they are now, and that's not much of anything. Guck them, I'll spend our $$$ elsewhere. read more

Super fun!!! 10/10 would recommend if you're in Catalina island! The DJ was great! The bar is awesome and bartenders are super friendly!

Best drinks in town!! Wait til about 9:30p to check in. The dj is awesome!! It looks closed in the day but it's open so make sure to show up. read more

Great place friendly bartender delicious drinks would definitely recommend and definitely coming back

We had a lot of fun on Friday night. Then we went back on Saturday and they played the exact same playlist? I didn't need to hear "Glamorous", "Dancing Queen" and "Single Ladies" two nights in a row. Also, the women's bathrooms on Friday night were so trashed as to be unusable. It had potential but not sure what was going on with the DJ / cleanliness. read more

Danced the night away. Great music,people and vibes. Drinks were on point. A locals spot with a welcoming touch for the tourists.

great music! however regardless of what the bar tenders say don't request songs at the DJ booth because they won't play them and the DJ will ignore you! The bartenders are amazing and super friendly! the VIP service was great! I have always loved this place and i'm glad I went back! it was 14 of us girls celebrating a bachelorette weekend and we all had the best time ever! read more

I walked into the bathroom right off the bat.. There was a woman decked out in full bridal gear crying with 3 girls crowded around her. Standing in what I thought was a line for the bathroom stall was a tall 5'9 brunette.. She assured me that she wasn't waiting in line. So I scurried into the handicap stall. First thing I noticed about the stall was that someone had recently used the toilet and not flushed. Straight boo boo, no sugar coating This is a great establishment with great staff! The crowed was fun and danced their little butts off. Not to be a weirdo or anything read more

Chi Chi Club - This is us.. This is us now. I love this couch crevice - Bars Near Me - Avalon, California

Friendly service both nights we went over sadly we went over on a Tuesday and Wednesday Tuesday was pretty dead and Wednesday a little more people showed up im sure that place in the weekends can be fun they have pool a mini arcade machine and some other game recommend this place if you are looking for a bar club setting read more

This is the only lounge/club in the area that CAN play danceable music... keyword here is "can." There is no dj at this place; the music is controlled by YOU. Yes, you. The music comes from a digital jukebox machine created by TouchTunes. You pay money to queue up the songs you want to hear, so essentially you create the playlist for the night. The machine wasn't working at first so my friends and I downloaded the app and controlled the music from there. We literally controlled the Playlist for the first 2 hours until the machine started to work again. Lol. But rest assured for the first couple of hours we played good, danceable hip hop... you're welcome. The crowd was totally mixed from old to young, but it is generally a younger crowd. This spot was like Bachelorette party central. The night we went there were 3 Bachelorette parties going on including ours. read more

Service and atmosphere were great, and we generally enjoyed our time here, but ended up not being a great experience for my group. We happily gave Chi Chis our business daily as I personally spent about $100 here each night on average. However, on April 3rd we stopped in and as I exited the crowded dance floor I must have inadvertently brushed against another guest. He became aggressive and proceeded to choke me. Assault is a crime last I checked.. Security did not catch the start of the incident but sure cameras did. However, I don't blame security for asking me to leave and can understand the confusion. However, I was asked to leave for simply defending myself and the aggressor who assaulted me unprovoked was not asked to leave. For obvious reasons I was unable to close my tab. I am always a generous tipper regardless of service and the service warranted a good tip, which I felt awful about. However, I checked my balance and was charged $221.34. I was with my mother who rarely drinks and the 2 friends of mine had their own tab. Not sure if this was done by mistake or something shady happening bebind the scenes. I plan on calling my credit card fo dispute it and am anxious to see if somebody else signed my name or added an exorbitant gratuity. Really hoping that's not the case and perhaps somebody else's bill was simply added to mine. All things considered still highly recommend this place, just proceed with caution. read more
