Alright. New brewer here who brings the stuff. The brewer from Goal Brewing is now brewing at Chula Vista Brewing. 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. read more

Stopped into this brewery with my family after Sesame world on a Sunday Afternoon and we were super excited. The whole place smelled like a mixture of cleaning products and puke. My wife was immediately saying that we couldnt stay. I convinced her to stay, and I ordered one of every of their (4) beers on draft to taste. I was shocked to see what the served as their rice lager. I have attached a photo. As someone who frequently drinks SD craft beer and has home brewed - this was a bad batch... a really bad batch of beer. The lager had no clarity, smelled like formaldehyde and other super off bitter weird flavors. Not all the 4 beers were bad, I think their hazy pale was the only one I'd have again. The beertender was very nice. The space was great. But the tastes and smells were so bad we left in a hurry. The brewmaster needs to know about this review. read more

It's unassuming but super quaint and relaxed. The staff is super friendly and helpful. They asked about our day and talked to us about our stay in San Diego. The staff is AWESOME! The beers hit the spot on our way back from the boarder. They have a good selection of beers with something for everyone. They also had some awesome swag: shirts and hats. PARKING: They had a bunch of spots out front so you shouldn't have a problem finding a spot. They're located near a couple of other breweries so you can brewery hop if that's your thing, it's for sure my thing. This place is definitely worth visiting! read more

After trying all 3 breweries in this block I will say by far the best. Great atmosphere, great staff and even better selections. If you're looking for a refreshing beer and tired of being choked by Californias IPA scene this is the place for you. read more

The service goes above and beyond the line of duty. This is a cornerstone business where the locals come gather.

I first saw this beer in Costco, and knew I needed to get to the pub to try it all! Decided upon a flight and came away with a 4 pack. Plenty of variety for whatever your brew preference, and friendly service to help. War Planes was my #1, followed by Breakers Beach. read more

Chula Vista brewery is definetly a good vibe. Parking is street parking or of course you pay to park. I would just Uber it since there's many more places to eat and drink in the area. They have long tables to sit at with stools. Plenty of tv's to watch the games. Most importantly I love alllll the plants inside!! Bartenders are great and they are opened pretty late in comparison to other breweries. read more

Food was excellent, service was fast and respectable ! Defiantly recommend this spot to anyone! Super close to home

This place has really gone downhill. I used to frequent this bar regularly, especially when they had Mariachi Sundays, but it appears that a lot has changed since they reopened. Not only was the owner very rude, but then two individuals got told to leave for dancing.. apparently they don't allow any dancing?? Felt like I was teleported into the movie Footloose. Don't play music or have a live DJ if you don't want people dancing, it's that simple. They should've stayed shut down if you ask me. read more

This great little local brewery on 3rd Ave in Chula Vista was our second stop on a winding pub crawl around San Diego. Veteran-owned, it was busy on a summer Friday night. Street parking. I found something besides IPA - always a win. Support local! read more

WHAT AN AMAZING STAFF! The staff was kind enough to allow us to host a small gathering here for free and bring our own food. Dalia helped us plan and Paulina was our host. Both were so patient and really made the day special. The space is a little smaller but allows for more intimacy and to be near everyone. The music and records really add to the vibe. Also loved that the old school games were free play which allowed out guest to do more than just drink and eat. The drink options were a bit limited but the stuff they do have was delicious and our entire group loved it! read more

Beers were not good. Guys in this place were super loud, angry, & annoying. Probably the only good thing I can say is they've got free old school arcade games. read more

Chula Vista Brewery is cool play to enjoy a good beer and great music. They feature BBQ (food truck outside) that is very delicious. CV Brewery is on the heart of Third Avenue in CV, providing great selections of beers. This was my first time visiting this brewery and it will not be the last time. The atmosphere is awesome. I look forward to going back and trying more of their beers. I highly recommend that you visit CV Brewery when in Chula Vista. read more

I'd been wanting to come here for so long. When my friend mentioned it, I hopped on it! I'm not crazy about beer, but definitely getting more into it. Me & my friend had the Guerita with a chamoy & Tajín rim. So nice we did it twice! Definitely will be back to try more. This night they had Pizza 619 outside selling pizza. I'd never had an elote pizza so I had to hop on it! So nice I wanted to do it twice but I had to relax LOL It really was amazing though. I'm definitely going to need that again. Would definitely recommend this place! Can't wait to check out their Eastlake location: read more

We came here for a night out and this place was the right call. It was a Friday Evening around 5pm. Wasnt too busy at first and we ended up in the long table in the middle of the place. Enough to sit a very large party. They had a very decent selection of beers and flights as well. For the designated drivers or stick in the muds, they have water, soda etc.. Every beer we tried ended up being very good, my favorite was the "Can't Touch this" beer. The place was very clean and the employees were constantly clearing the tables and taking away glasses etc. We had such a good time here, that after bar hopping we ended up back here. Great atmosphere, respectful security etc.. Quick Tip - If you need to hit the can, do it ASAP. The lines can get pretty big here. I had to wait about 15mins around 11PM. read more

Good service and a decent place to hangout with friends. Shows sports on tv. Great beer selections for a brewery

Veteran owned spot with a deep history with the name of the city they are named after: Chula Vista. Chula Vista Brewery has a great selection of brews to accommodate your needs and desires. What makes them the ideal location is that it's right on Third Ave - Downtown Chula Vista and directly across from them is my friend and entrepreneur, owner/operator of Oak and Anchor BBQ. They're working in a fully time collaboration of making great brews with equally exquisite food. Warplanes and Crushable Oro are the go-to's for me on every one of my visits, and I like to try any new items they may have and it never disappoints. You should too. Cool thing about this place is they will fill your growler regardless of where the growler is from. While other places give you a hard time about filling up a growler that's not theirs, the awesome staff here just says "for sure" and even washes it my growler for me and fills it like Fat Joe says, "All The Way Up!" (Pro Tip: wash your damn growler before you bring it. Don't let it sit under your sink for 10 months and then bring it all stinky). Another thing is that they got pretty dope gear and apparel that it sells out quickly so be on the look out for their Instagram deals and get you a nice hat with some beer for an incredible price. They started a legit mug club that I need to get more info on before I speak about it. Check out my dudes Navy shadow box up on the wall and pay some respect to the homey. Pay some respect to my homey at the BBQ spot as well. Both homey's are retired and doing great things for the community! Get your friends, family and Sanchas/sanchos and bring your thirst, but keep the drama at home and enjoy a delicious and sensually devine brew! Tell them NavyDavy sent you. They'll say "who is that?" But that's okay, at least you're letting them know a fellow Navy Chief is getting the word out! I HAVE SPOKEN! read more

Here it is, brewery visit #143. CVB is right in downtown Chula Vista with two other breweries within staggering distance. We chose to stop here when we saw it's owned by an active duty naval officer. My Dad is a Vietnam-era Navy veteran, and I'm a USMC veteran so it was an easy choice. Yes, Yelp, the business is complying with all the statist covid regulations that Comrade Gavin has in place. We had food to ward off the covid. I started with the Mamas Mexican Lager. I would have liked a little more sweetness from this one but it was still a pretty good Mexican lager. The Oktoberfest was a light one. I would have liked just a little more malty flavor out of this. Still a tasty beer but not my favorite Oktoberfest. Papas Pils was next. I know I had to order both the Mamas and the Papas, because well, I figured it might have me "dancing in the streets". Yeah, Google that shit youngster. The Papas was a nice little pils. Smooth and easy drinking. Recipe For Haze was only slightly hazy but had nice hop aroma and flavor. I hadn't tried it yet but went with a pint of Browner Than Ivan to go with our pizza. Pizza was delivered from a place nearby through an app, making it really easy. Yes, have food to ward off the covid, because food wards off the covid. "Muh, science" per Comrade Newsom. Anyway, the pizza was good. Ah, back to the Browner Than Ivan. This was a nice brown ale and a good accompaniment to the pizza.

Great place for a beer especially on Sundays when there is mariachi! I highly suggest the Guerita or Humble IPA if you're into IPAs.

Was out bar hopping and a friend recommended to stop in and check out this place. Looked cool per previous reviews, I was told they have a DJ on the weekends. We where out on a Saturday but no DJ there. The place looks pretty neat, a bit small in my opinion but okay place to hang. They have some game (not sure what it's called) but it's was a wooden stick with a string and circle at the end that you swing and try to hook . Was pretty fun. I do have to say their drink selection was a little disappointing, I expected a bigger selection compared to other breweries around. I tried their Guava Seltzer and initially tasted okay but had a weird after taste. Did like the touch of chamoy on the rim though! They don't have any food so we had to order food from next door and bring it over. I guess that's a plus they do allow you to bring in food from other places and eat it there. We stayed for a while just watching a game, they have tvs on both sides of the place so either side you sit on you'll have a view of the screen. read more

Eastlake location - Fun ambiance with amazing staff. Candy is such a fun polite and attentive beer tender. She is on her game. She recommended a few beers that we we're all very happy with. She was quick with refills and always had a smile on her face. She took really good care of my group. We've gone a few time and the fried cauliflower was delicious. Now they have Birria Kings I believe it is and she recommended a vampiro and oh man. Must try. Super chill place where you can just go in and not worry about being underdressed or far from home. read more

Great spot in the South Bay! I've had their IPA and a few other beers. All of which were clean, tasty and true to form. They offer a smaller, family vibe you don't often see or feel in breweries. I believe they're also Veteran-owned. So that's a perk too! Will be back in the future! read more

They have awesome beer here. We came down from riverside and toured the other breweries around this one and at the end we came right back. We bought some T-shirts and sweaters also.

You could tell many people meet up here after a long hard day at work. It was nice to see people out socializing. If you love beer and want to try some an IPA or even a light beer you will find it here. Come early to get a table this place will get packed. After there is tacos trucks right along the street for your enjoyment. Chula Vista on 3rd Ave is getting live at night come check it out read more

This is was really cool. Went there with wifey last Saturday. I come here every now and then since I live around the corner. The beer was great. I suggest war planes. The place seemed busier than usually. They had a DJ playing and he was taking request. They had a light show going and the music that was playing was just awesome. We had a really good time. I would recommend! read more

Great selection of beers on tap. Can get busy but always lively and had a dj last time I went. Worst part is parking but it's 3rd...

I've been coming here for a while now and I can say I'm pretty happy to find a great bar that's not in my usual neighborhood. Drinks are always cold and delicious, the new "children of the fog" is great! Bathrooms are clean, staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they have cool events throughout the week. I wish they would mix the food up every now and then, but can't complain too much when it's good bbq, I've just had everything on the menu already. Great beer, friendly service, clean facilities. I'll be back! read more

Chula Vista is the place is now the place to be. I really enjoy this brewery. The atmosphere, the beer, and staff all make for a great experience. I have come here multiple times and always enjoyed myself. Chill brewery, good beer, and friendly service. This brewery is located in downtown Chula Vista. There is only street parking, but it's never been an issue if you don't mind walking a bit or get lucky finding a close spot. There is plenty of seating, but can get pretty packed on a weekend and/or evening. There is a stage for a dj, band, and there is always some kind of music playing. There are table games for entertainment. On weekends and the occasional evening there has been a food truck that parks out front. This brewery doesn't serve food, but they allow you to bring outside food in. There is merchandise for purchase, and restrooms available. The beer is good here. I enjoy their blonde called Guerita. It has a crisp fresh taste, and tends to run out. South Bay is another good beer I enjoy, that is also on the lighter side. The prices are reasonable, and they have specials on certain days and times. ( I usually miss them) The beer is good and cold, the servers are friendly, and the vibe is pretty laid back and chill. Chula Vista has many other breweries in the area/ on the same street, but if you have to choose one, come here. read more
