The Manhattan is a classic dive bar that was established in 1955. Prior to being a gathering spot for the locals, it was a feed and grain store. The bar has 18 craft beers on tap and a wide selection of cocktails. Enjoy live music while sipping on your favorite concoction. Non-drinkers are also welcome here since there’s a low-alcohol beer option on the menu: O’Douls. You might think that you can’t be accommodated on a busy Saturday night, but in reality, the place is very spacious as it gets crowded on weekend nights. Groups of friends can enjoy plenty of Mario Kart and excellent music choices on the jukebox – which can utilize to show off their talents on the stage.

The Manhattan can be the ideal spot for a slice of nightlife experience in Chula Vista. The staff is approachable whether you want to ask for the best cocktail concoction they can recommend or if you want to know who the next local band will be playing at the venue. You can chill and drink your favorite beer while playing pool or just have fun with your friends and the locals. The bar’s liquor shelves are pretty well-stocked, even with the premium ones!
