This is the definition of original. This place has many memories for me. It is a great place to come for all occasions. The vibe is on . I had the honor of being with someone who is So OG he has his name on his glass.

"Rice lager"
Kevin H.

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.

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.

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!

Breakers Beach...not as tropical, fruity, juicy as I'd expect from a hazy..

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.

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.

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!

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:

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.

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.

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.

Are kids allowed?

Yes, kids and pets are welcome!

Are kids allowed inside?

We walked by at 4:42 on a Sunday and the glass was shaking because of how loud the music was and there were drunk people in front of the establishment. I wouldn't say it is very kid friendly....

Are they dog friendly?

Yes.. =)

Chula vista brewery, when does it open?

Brought the wifey here for a date night. We live right down the street so we're always cruising…read moreThird Ave. They have live music on Wednesday nights and it was lit! I'm staying away from alcohol for a while, but all their drinks looks good! We ordered their lemonade and it was delicious! I'd reccomend you come here on Wednesday night for the cool experience, I plan on coming here for coffee in the morning to see how that is, but man really fell in love with Wednesday night here. Made me feel like I was in a new city The app won't let me add videos or photos right now for some reason but I'll try to upload soon

They serve coffee during the day and alcohol at night. Since we came at night, we tried their cocktails. I was impressed with the variety of alcohol choices from sake, soju, wine and mixed cocktails. I chose So Fresh and So Clean, which exactly was the taste when I sipped this drink. The garnishing was minimal, so I was a little disappointed that the presentation wasn't that great. I ordered Just like candy and I loved the candy garnish as this was a fun twist to this drink. I did want the cocktails be a little more alcohol forward since I didn't feel it very much. Service was okay as we had to flag someone down to place another drink order. This place will reopen again soon and I'll try the cocktails again. Nice place to relax and unwind before or after dinner or in the morning with your coffee.
