A fairly good size bar with a pool table at the front of the bar, a long bar where drinks are served, and a back room where people can also seat or stand. The bartender, Heidi, was prompt, and very helpful with my order. The place was busy at the time I was there with workers taking a break from their work day. Will certainly go again. I also really enjoyed seeing the signs that were placed on the ceiling of the bar. read more

One of my favorites when I'm in East County bartenders are always kind and very cheery my favorite dive bar

From the first time I went there they made me feel like it was home. I can't tell you how happy it is to walk into a bar, as a stranger, and not feel weird or watched or judged. Just have a really good time. This is the place to play game of pool, some darts or sit out back around the fire pits, smoke, have a good conversation or.... You can stay inside sing your ass off and play Bar bingo. Penty of TVs to watch what sports you want and the bartenders are great too, Should definitely be higher than number 6! Singing is not the only thing that's important when it comes to karaoke read more

This is one of the greatest dive bars left in San Diego/Spring Valley. I felt so welcomed. The bartenders are attentive and friendly. I came in by myself and as a woman I felt safe and warm. People are so friendly. People came up to me to introduce themselves, both men and women there is a great outdoor patio where I could smokeThere is so much to do there is darts, pool, or you can play Superball Lotto. There is a DJ on Fridays, Kareoke Friday and Saturday nights and there is Bingo Thursday nites and you can win free drinks and it's free to get in. I've become a regular and have made so many friends. The drink prices are great too ...the lowest around. I highly recommend the Spring Valley Inn. read more

First time here. Great friendly bar lady called Heidi! Smiling and welcoming as soon as we walked in. Beers were expensive - in my opinion - I drink Bud bottle and it's $5.50 here! I bitch when I pay more than $3.00 for a bottle but Heidi is so pleasant that the price was almost forgotten! Bar has plenty of atmosphere too but I can only get 4 beers with my $20 and not 7 beers like at my regular bar!!! read more

I've been going to the Spring Vally Inn on and off for many many years and it's always a good time that it's always a friendly face always good service. I'll always keep coming back. read more

This bar made me feel at home! The staff / bartender was very inviting, and so were the other patrons. Due to the Covid "scamdemic", only outside seating was available with the purchase of food. That wasn't a problem for me. Spring Valley Inn Cocktail Bar offered covered seating, misters, and fans. The drinks were priced decent, pretty cheap compared to most other San Diego drinking holes, and there was plenty of parking available. Nobody batted an eye when I decided to dance, and other patrons joined in. The crowd was diverse, and fun to hang out with. I wasn't "scared" even though people say dive bars can be sketchy - I have the most fun. Would I go back again? Absolutely, it felt like the Spring Valley version if Cheers! REASONS TO VISIT: 1. Great prices 2. Friendly staff 3. Plenty of parking 4. Pool table and darts (available when not stuck with Commifornia pandemic rules) read more

I decided to check out this bar because it had good reviews and karaoke. I go inside with my friends and it was turning out great, the customers were delightful, karaoke was being sung. I go to the bartender (Caucasian, older female) and ordered my drink, and my friend also ordered her drink. While my friend ordered her drink, she asked the bartender what does she recommended. The bartender gave her a rude comment and laughed in her face. Then she asked what kind it drinks are available and the bartender remarks "beer, wine, liquor" . After giving her the money for the order, she looks me in the eye and slams it on the counter. I usually tip, even if I have bad service, but I couldn't forgive her rudeness and decided she deserved nothing. We didn't finish our drinks because she kept staring and giving us a dirty look. read more

Go figure *shrugs* -really nice bikers Thanks for recommending it, Sarah! *muah* read more

Typical east county dive bar. I've heard mention of this being a biker bar but I have yet to see that clientele. Cheap drinks, stiff pours, friendly bartender. I will add this place to my list for those nights I don't feel like straying too far from home for a bevvie or two. read more

Spring Valley Inn Cocktail Lounge - Dive Bars Near Me - Spring Valley, California

I came here Sunday morning with a couple of friends for bloody mary's based on a recommendation from another friends. This is a dive bar. Reminded me of Cheers ~ everyone knew everyone's name and they were very friendly & welcoming. One of the patrons let us know they were doing ~ buy one drink get the second for $1 as we walked to a table. WHAT?!? That's awesome!!! I should have asked if that was everyday or just Sunday. My bad. They make/sell breakfast on Sunday for $5 from 10am until they run out or everyone has eaten. Today was biscuits & gravy, potatoes, eggs and a grilled pork chop with apples ~ mmmmmm!! The biscuits were made from scratch, everything was delicious. The bloody mary was beautiful and was good. Our tab was $17 for 5 bloody mary's ~ we got the second round in before 11. Did I mention how friendly everyone was??? This is now my go to spot when I want to stay close to home ~ close enough I could walk if I needed to. read more

My boy is a classy dude. He takes me to classy places with classy music and classy decor. And I as I walk into the door of Spring Vally Inn, I knew he had out done himself this time. The first room is adorned with a dilapidated pool table, a dart board, and a tub of melted ice filled with cans of PBR. It's beautiful. The ceiling becomes lower as we enter the bar area and the smell of cigarettes and dirt fill the nostrils. I am home. The heritage of East County is rampant throughout this building: wood paneling, mullets worn by 40 something women, men with pony tails and nascar hats, plaques on the ceiling and a pitbull with balls the size of grapefruits. No, really those balls were distracting. I couldn't concentrate and told Mason at one point that I'm going home with the dog. The drinks were super cheap, 2.75 bucks for a bud light and 4 bucks for a Corona. Not bad. Not to mention the bartender was super friendly. He made me feel at home. I love East County. read more

On the danger-scale I'd put my experience at the Springer right up there with skydiving into a junkyard then getting chased by a Rottweiler. When I say 'dangerous' I mean that in a good way. I like thrill-rides. If you ended up here you probably do too. You may see a rocker or two. I once saw a Santa Claus-looking-dude next to the back door closely monitoring the tension in the atmosphere just make sure no territorial conflicts arise. At the end of the bar, sat a sunburned and ponytailed construction worker with a t-shirt that read 'No Spiders'. I'm not sure what biker-lingo that is but he was mean-mugging everyone like he really wanted to kill some insects. Oh, and don't forget the old dog laying by the door that's trained to attack...sometimes... Yet, even with all of that, inexplicably, there's still a lot of love in the air. So if you like old souls, stale Winston smoke, steaming nacho cheese sauce served out of late-70's-edition Crock-Pot atop a weathered pool table, nicotine-stained-beards, and funny scars, you're in the right place. Feel your shoes stick to the linoleum as you sludge to a creaking bar stool that doesn't quite sit flush with the floor. Wood paneling and sun-bleached Dale Earnhardt hats greet you with warmth. Pours are stiff and cheap (2.75 for Bud, 4 for Coronas). Vibe is dark, and the bartenders are tough but tender...meaning they'll beat you at an arm-wrestling contest. I'll muster up the courage to come back soon. Parking is ok. Get the bloody mary. Its awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E88HEuwInno read more

Love this bar!!! Friendly clientele, amazing bartenders, and biker friendly. I recommend this place to everyone I possibly can.

Been here on many occasions with my dogs, that's why we come here. Came here today and was told it's "too crowded" (it wasn't) to have our dogs and we were asked to leave. I respect a business having discretion on who can patronize their establishment. But on that same note, I want to be able to come to a bar with my dogs and know for sure I won't be turned away. And before anyone thinks my dogs were being unruly they were not. I'll be going to Bancroft bar for now, I spoke to the owner and he tells me I am always welcome with my dogs. Sorry Spring Valley Inn. It was nice while it lasted. read more

Visited this place once bc they were dog friendly as they don't serve food. Today went in with our dogs to find out they're not dog friendly. Not coming here again. Too bad. Thought we were able to enjoy this city with our pups. Guess we'll be taking our business elsewhere. read more

$5.00 happy hour pitchers of multiple different beers cocktailks 2 for $5.00 total biker-dive...and an all-out rough place nestled in majestic spring valley. awesome place ... but there is a "minus two-teeth minumum" to get in... I had an annoying lady with turrets talking shit to me the whole time I wasn there. Listening her explain her "fuckin' awesome" tattos were. A guy that stunk to high heaven sitting next to her...I thought I might puke from the stench coming off him... flies wouldn't even land on him. Some lady played 7 Segar songs in a row on the jukebox along with David Allen Cole. The barternder was super-sweet, attentive, and a total GILF. I had a blast, but would be a litrtle sceered to hang out here at night unless I blacked-out a few teeth, and wore a biker vest. read more

If you like Bikers and people missing a few teeth then stumble on into this little gem. I had to stay for one beer but I won't be back. I appreciate that motorcycle clubs hang out in a particular bar but it doesn't make me feel any more comfortable. Too many like minded individuals makes for dodgy interactions. read more

I love the karaoke at this bar I've been coming here for over 10 years Brenda is my favorite KJ she is always willing to have fun with us and make a full and seeing crazy and fun songs Paulie is my favorite bartender because he loves to get wasted with us all and have a party you have to check out this bar you have the time of your life read more

I love you for karaoke on the weekend. You need I test the place for best of I San Diego. I really think they need awards.

My mother was the founder of CMF. She worked there for years before she died. This is a biker bar. Just because member of UMF drive other vehicles and other than a bike does not make them posers it's not about riding a bike to be a biker. Its about the passion that you have for it and standing by your brothers no matter what some people have disabilities to where they're not able to ride their bikes anymore so don't believe everything you read go there and see for yourself my mom drove the van and she was the president of all girl biker gang the founder she made it happen and still to this day there are people women and men that are loyal to her and celebrate her life on March 4th every year even though I don't go to this bar anymore I still hold this bar in my heart if you like rowdy people and having a fun time I would definitely go here not for everyone but when you know the passion of being a biker definitely give it a try read more
